Job before he/she joined the Guild(if they had one): Blacksmith/Handyman Desired field of training: Enchanting History: Fio was born in the Diamond Dog settlement of the Painted Pinto Desert, between Talonpolis and Beak Break city. She lived a happy life with her parents, her mother was a jeweler while her father was a gem hunter. Initially, Fio was taught not only how to create basic jewelry but also how to find gems within the land. It wasn't until she witnessed blacksmiths hard at work did the Diamond Dog become curious about shaping molten steel. After sneaking out several times, getting caught by the smiths and having the opportunity to forge her own crude armlet, she had found a profession which truly spoke to her. Many years had passed since that day and Fio lived the grand life of the blacksmith. She had everything a smithy would want: a plentiful selection of resources to choose from, great demand at her shoppe, assistants whom were more than willing to go the extra mile, and a seemingly never ending supply of gems. Even though the Diamond Dog was incredibly successful in her life, Fio was longing for something more. Time after time again she would hear stories outside of the great world outside of the 'little' settlement she lived in. From the grand spectacles of Canterlot to the wondrous lands of Unyasia, Fio found herself being consumed by wanderlust. After some thorough talks and receiving blessings form her parents, Fio departed the home that she had lived in for her whole life to explore the world. Months would pass before the Diamond Dog would ever hear about the organization known as the Hollowfell Guild. After spending some time within Rockwington the Diamond Dog was told that bandits had been sighted outside of the town and that it was advised to leave with either a group or bodyguard. Fio didn't want to take any chances and decided that it was wise to head the warnings of the local guard. After waiting for some time she found herself invited to a caravan which had hired a group of bodyguards outside the town. As the caravan just fell out of sight of Rockwington, the group was ambushed. Before Fio knew what was going on she found herself knocked to the ground. As the Diamond Dog finally stood up to assess what was going on she found herself being charged at by a bandit. While she was barely able to trip her assailant, she was once more knocked back to the earth. As Fio was about to get up her eyes met with an outlaw armed with a dagger pointed at her. The Diamond Dogs heart stopped, she didn't know what to do nor what was going to happen to her. For the first time in her life, Fio felt incredibly vunlerable. As the thief was about to take action a flurry of weapons striked the attacker, sending them flying away from Fio. As the scene finally registered with the Diamond Dog she saw a pony wizz past her. Fio quickly erected herself and scanned the chaotic scene for whom saved her. She finally found her savior brawling amongst the many bandits which were attacking them. As she continued to watch she witnessed in disbelief how the warrior was materializing a grand selection of weapons from the air itself. The battle itself, while seeming to go on forever, ended just as swiftly as the ambush had commenced. Fio was mesmerized by what she had witnessed but that feeling quickly dissolved when she came to a very blunt realization. In a situation such as this, she was completely useless and was a liability if she didn't stay out of the way. The possibility of this happening again also became very real to the dog and next time she'd most likely be alone. Fio came to the conclusion that if she were to continue exploring the land that she'll need to learn how to defend herself from the harshness of the world. The warrior whom had saved her exhuberated great skill, Fio had a new found resolution to her situation. After inquiring with her fellow travelers, Fio was bestowed with much needed knowledge. The group whom had protected them was known as the Hollowfell Guild and the individual whom saved Fio was an Elementalist. Once finding out where the town of Hollowfell was located Fio departed immediately to her new destination. After many days of traversing the land of Equestria, the Diamond Dog finally found herself at Hollowfell. The town was bustling with action, more so than most towns that Fio had visited. It didn't take much for her to learn though that today was "Recruitment Day" for the guild and she made her way to where all the activity was pouring towards. This, is the story of Fio Filigree - Elementalist of the Hollowfell Guild.
