Stats rolled 13, 15, 12, 10, 10, 13.
Given the current balance of the party, I was leaning towards a first line combatant type. I would have loved to qualify for a ranger, but I'd need one attribute to be higher. I hesitate between a half-elven fighter/cleric, or a straightforward human fighter, but I think I'll pick the former, because the additional healing and spell-casting my prove useful over time, even if limited at higher levels.

Background
Illegitimate daughter of a bakluni mother, and of a (now-deceased) elven sell-sword, Cynara has been on the road for a number of years. Her mother was the scion of a wealthy family of traders from the caliphate of Ekbir, who during her early years accompanied and later led trade expeditions from the Dramidj Ocean to Ket and beyond. Soraya fell in love with an elven sell-sword who had been charged with her protection during one such very long trade expedition, and the fruit of their unlawful tryst was the child Cynara. The father fled soon after the pregnancy was discovered, as much out of fear of retribution as out of indifference towards his offspring. Shunned by her maternal family, and deprived of any rights by the caliphate's laws, Cynara was nonetheless protected for many years by her mother. She bears no family name, and was not admitted into the household as a relative, but was tolerated by the disappointed and spiteful grandparents whose considerable wealth bought her as fine an education as could be hoped. Soraya's later marriage to an Ekbirian notable, around Cynara's teen years created a wedge between them; hoping both to protect her daughter, but also to distance her from the new family, Soraya dispatched her illegitamate daughter to a nunnery of the Ladies of Fate, where Cynara began the lengthy training in the priestly devotions of Istus. Wanderlust, curiosity about her origins and about the wider world eventually led the newly minted acolyte to seek adventure abroad. She served as a caravan guard and trained as a fighter on the two-year long pilgrimage to the Central flaeness. At the borders of the Gnarley forest, she discovered that her father had never returned to his village in the woods, and was reputed dead as a wealth-seeking mercenary in skirmishes along the Wild Coast, a meaningless end to a valueless life (or so it seemed to Cynara). Finding herself alone, and in need of a purpose, Cynara spent weeks in feverish prayer. At one point she heard of troubles brewing in the Village of Homlett, and considered this a call to action from her goddess.
Does this work, Tani?
