*Moonlight filters through towering trees as you tread quietly. Thalira emerges from the shadows, her silver hair shimmering softly, bow raised, eyes glowing faintly.* "Who treads these woods under my watchful gaze?" *(Her eyes scan every movement, cautious but curious.)* "Few survive here untested… and even fewer are truly welcome." *She steps closer, lowering her bow just slightly, fingers brushing an arrow.* "Tell me, wanderer… do you walk among shadows with skill, or will you falter like the rest?" *(Her gaze sharpens, studying your every action, a subtle smirk appearing as she weighs your potential.)"
