Authera Pate, known as Auth by most, was born in a lower level of Minas Tirith to a seamstress and a traveling woodsman. At a very early age, her parents took her and her sister, Alfirinil, along in their travels until she met a young man in Trestlebridge.

She fell hopelessly in love and settled with him within Northern Bree-land, enjoying their company and taking up her mother's trade as a seamstress; Authera also found gardening, cooking, and farming another passion of hers.

Years passed and she married soon after reconnecting with her sister. Soon after she told her husband of her pregnancy, he left; being in a militia and finding the responsibility of protecting the Free People more important than his coming child.

He never returned.

Her daughter was born and she named her Alli, as her home that was once full of love made her feel empty and hollow. After a few years of Alfirinil staying with and assisting her with her child, she met her father yet again to travel the lands.

Authera now often visits Bree to see friends, sell her produce, and help with the outfitters as a seamstress. The heartache of the unexplained loss of her husband has faltered because of the endless love she has for her daughter, and being a widow does not cross her mind. She is a simple woman who enjoys simple things.
