Ilde is a hill dwarf monk looking to expand her world veiw and wisdom. She has the potential to be a wonderful monk, but she has many lessons to learn before that can happen. The Ki has directed her to a path which has pulled her away from her life.
Background
Ilde Firstfire was chosen at a young age, like all those who are chosen, to begin her training as a monk. The monks of her people are revered as the spiritual leaders and protectors of their community and surrounding area. Like all those chosen, she relinquished her clan name being known only by her given name. She showed great potential in the physical arts of her training as she grew. She also retained the knowledge necessary to guide her to spiritual enlightenment, however, she seemed to have difficulty applying that information to her daily tasks and opportunities.
One day during her meditations, Ilde had her strongest connection to the Ki. It gave her a vision of traveling about the land. The energy she felt from this vision led her to believe that this is the path she must travel in order to learn the wisdom she so lacks. After approaching the council about this mater, they agree with her. She is given the things needed to begin her journey, and so she does.....
Suggested Character Development
Ilde has a low wisdom score and should have most of her ability points added to that score till the player feels it is well enough for the direction they are going.
One of the items Ilde was given is a Robe of her Order (robe of protection) which she might not be aware of, this is up to the game master to determine. A good piece of flavor for that is having her in an encounter and a hit that is one more than her armor class, at that time, glances off or however the miss happens when it seems it should hit.
Her alignment was chosen as chaotic good to reflect the principals instilled in her through her monk training. She should make decisions about how to act based on what is morally/ethically right no mater what law or others think (ie if a town has legalized slavery she should work to free them...)
One last piece of spice, I imagine Ilde either making, finding or having made a quarterstaff with small hammers on the ends, to keep inline with dwarf tropes.
