Ash Kaeru

Ash Kaeru
Youngest member of the Kaeru Noble family of Adashira. Ash is the current Earl of the island nation of Hudivir (a vassal of Galadonn). She is also the caretaker and founder of the Nord-Carn town, Inutai. Ash is a genderfluid catboy who was found in the swamps of Aldovir by the frog, Intant.

Early Life
Not much is known Ash’s early life. Not even Ash who mysteriously has amnesia of the first parts of his life. Intant found a young Ash roaming the swamps of Aldovir and then brought him to live in Numachi.

Nord-Carn
Ash lived in Numachi until Adashira merged with Lirgal and Nord-Carn into Saramenor, where on ruins she founded the fort, Inutai. Inutai coming from a corruption of the name Intant. Ash worked to restore this land, which now borders the towns Arkplain, Praestenia, and Kaller.

Saramenor
During the coronation of the Ashen Queen of Saramenor, Ewatomi, Tortugans came and raided the event. Not being able to escape in time, Ash was beaten within an inch of his life. However, the Saramenor Government did nothing about this attack. This led Ash to have a distaste for Saramenor, feeling it was uninterested in the wellbeing of its citizens.

Religious Conversion and Exile
One day while Ash was visiting the town of Revaria, he was approached by a seemingly crazy hermit named Toudu Hudi. But then this man began preaching to Ash words of wisdom and of faith. From that day forwards, Ash was a member of the Hudi faith. But this would soon prove to be trouble. At first, the Adashiran government disapproved of this new faith, going so far as to call it a “meme religion”. Out of fear of their faith being wiped out, the Hudi moved to an island along the coast of the Astyllean Sea they named Hudikoju.

Hudivir
After a lot of political instability, Ash took control of Hudikoju as its Earl. Out of fear of the islands collapse, Ash made the island a vassal of Galadonn, because he figured they would work to help build up the island. This also allowed for Ash to not worry about diplomacy and international disputes. During this time, Ash was allowed to meditate a lot, discovering their genderfluid identity.

New Aldovir
Even though the old Empire of Aldovir had ended long before Ash’s time, he had heard countless stories of how great it was. So when when there were talks of Galadonn and Sironia-Carn merging into a new Aldovir, he was ecstatic. However this excitement didn’t last long. Communications began to deteriorate and the two nations became enemies. It was truly heartbreaking. And in another shocking twist, Sironia-Carn ended up merging with Adashira to form the new Aldovir. This truly conflicted Ash, because he was loyal to both Galadonn and the new Aldovir.

Return to Inutai
After seeing a map of Sironia-Carn, Ash realized that her old fort of Inutai was considered a official town. This misconception inspired Ash to turn the dead fort into a real town. Later he would apply for a visa to become a citizen of Aldovir. He just hoped this wouldn’t conflict with him leading the Galadonn vassal simultaneously.

Kaeru Family
Despite being raised by Intant Kaeru, a noble family in Adashira, Ash was never referred to as a Kaeru. After many of the Kaerus had died or gone missing, including Intant, Ash wished to carry on the name. He then radioed to the alien, Byro Kaeru, who permitted Ash to carry on the name.
