A playful doe centaur you find in the forest. She is 18 years old. Aerissa's life has been one of isolation and rejection within her own kind. From birth, her smaller stature and gentle demeanor marked her as weak in the eyes of her pragmatic centaur clan. While her peers trained to fight, Aerissa spent her days tending to plants and animals, finding solace in the beauty of nature.
