Background
Born in Ashabenford in the Mistledale region of the Dalelands. Parents are Mareg and Marena, also has 2 siblings. Younger sister Alysta Starshin and older brother Arteus Starshin.

Anly was a rather unruly child growing up in the wilderness, never much liked being indoors helping her mother with daily chores. She enjoyed playing and wrestling with the other children in the area. Overtime as she started to grow up, her temper started getting the best of her and often she lashed out and hurt some of the other people she played with, only Arteus could ever calm her down, as their bond was very strong since Anly was born. Punishment from her parents never worked and things never got better and eventually her parents made her join the local monastery; The Monastic Order of the Broken Ones who worship the god Ilmater. (Anly’s brother also served Ilmater and had already begun his training as a paladin at the time; they never much saw each other after he chose the path.) The elders of the order noted how she loved to wrestle and quarrel so they thought putting her on the path of becoming a monk would be best.

Anly didn’t quite adapt to this way of life easily, disobeying the elder monks and causing trouble inside the temple. Until one day, around the time Anly’s sister was born, a certain band of adventurers strolled into the Dalelands. Anly was instantly smitten with the Paladin Nassim Molrin of the Wandering Guardians. Being the chosen of the triad, which her god is a member sort of influenced the attraction. Nassim was in the Dalelands recruiting paladins and other such warriors for the upcoming battle at the Citadel of the Raven. Arteus, being a devote paladin of Ilmater at the time quickly was enlisted to join the battle. Anly wanted to go with Nassim and Arteus to help at the battle but Nassim would not allow it. He told her she was just too young (roughly 12-13 at the time) and he didn’t want her to get hurt. Nassim and Arteus soon left the village. Arteus gives to Anly and Alysta each an amulet, which he tells them to pray for his safety and for each others safety as well, he shows the sisters he has one of his own and that he, will pray for them also. Anly would occasionally venture out in search of them, to try to reach the Citadel and the Raven. She’d get so far before the parents and the Order would drag her back and make her continue to hone her skills. She reluctantly continued to study her arts, trying to get stronger to prove her worth to Nassim and Arteus till she received word that Nassim had fallen. Anly never really accepted this, despite what everyone said. She hasn’t to this day. Anly is in search of Nassim and to whether her brother is still alive, which she find out he is. She prays that Ilmater will lead her to the right path, be it to Nassim, her brother or away from them and on with her life.

When she finally turns 16, she pleads with the elders and her parents to let her seek power outside the order and into the world to search also for her brother. She had trained hard, gaining some experience in actual battles repelling the local creatures of the area. They reluctantly allow this to take place, thinking it will do her some good, and hopefully put to rest her obsession for Nassim and worries for Arteus. She decides venture out to hone her skills and search for clues about Nassim and her brother; if Nassim is dead, she’d like to know more about how he lived, his family, anything at all. She reveals to most she meets about her search for Nassim, but no one knows about her search for her brother besides the people of her village and a few others. She heads towards Nassim’s home region of Cormyr first where she meets up with a battle crazed cleric.

The End: 1419 DR
After the events of Shrouded Wings, Anly continued to travel the world and fight for what she believed in. When the Spell-Plague hit, Anly went far and wide aiding and Giving all she could. It was around this time when she learned that Ashabenford had been razed to the ground by Palar the Darkhearted and some of his forces in 1383 DR. Alysta forewarned her family about the onslaught but she was captured by Palar.

Anly was devastated to find her home in such ruin, she paced around the town and found her parents. She was relieved but concerned not to find her sister. She spent days burying all the dead and while burying her mother she discovered a letter. It was from Palar, telling Anly that he would never give up his revenge and that he has taken her sister near the ruins of Zhentil Keep. He wants to end this.

She contacted Traim and asked for him to avenge the village and her family. They would round up a force of Triad Paladins, Monks and Clerics and lead the assault against Palar. A great battle ensued. Anly and Traim proceeded to head to where Palar was stationed, using the fight as a distraction. They found Palar torturing Alysta, trying to make her use her powers to aid him in his plans. The gift of foresight could be very useful for someone such as he. Anly could not control her rage and said nothing and charged blindly into battle. She was being overwhelmed, her rage was affecting her but Traim helped turn the tide of the battle and eventually Palar tried to escape but Alysta wouldn't let the bad man with the eyepatch get away this time and blocked his escape through teleportation and he was defeated.

Anly and Traim took Alysta away and helped defeat the rest of Palar's group. Traim was pleased to see an enemy of the triad and the Starshin family wiped out, he escorted Anly back to Ashabenford where she vowed to rebuild it and she would give up adventuring for awhile to take care of her sister.

Several years later, Ashabenford was rebuilt back to its former glory and Anly finally had built her Monastery where she welcomed all followers of the Triad to come and train. The town began to bustle again over the years. Alysta began training as a Cleric of Ilmater during this time.

Many years passed in peace. Ashabenford was a nice gathering ground for Triad members and a major point of interest in the Dalelands. Anly and Alysta were both very happy too till Alysta started to tell Anly she would be ok alone and she would be very proud of her sister "It's ok sis, I'll try to find Daddy maybe". Anly didn't understand that at all but she knew of her sister's gift and that meant something was about to happen. It was around then that the Kensai of Ilmater began to feel something calling her from her amulet. She was called to Celestia and brought there by the amulets power.

There was a massive demon invasion taking place and she was called to fight against it. Anly was living a dream, she was fighting along side her brother once more and even the great Nassim who she loved and adored. She choked back the seer euphoria she felt by being in their presence and fought bravely along side them. Anly unleashed the power of her amulet during the battle and lost her life for good. The power stunted the invasion but did not stop it, it was here that Tyr gave his life and truly put an end to the incursion.

So Anly finally was where she wanted to be all along, with her brother and her hero. She always had a sort of envy for Arteus and Nassim for the way they heroically gave their lives and she wished that when her time came it would be just as great. She would miss Alysta but her sister told her that she would be ok and that she was proud of her.
