Insaf

A young Mander born in a small Krokotopian village nearby The Oasis. Insaf always had an interest in the history of her world and her peoples. However, her meek personality, along with the heavy Marleybonian presence in Krokotopia, prevented her from leaving her village for quite some time. She finally made the decision to travel to The Oasis, on the terms of visiting the great library there. She stayed in The Oasis and became Zan’ne’s assistant, but grew increasingly frustrated with how the Marleybonians treated her people, which she internalized until she was about ready to burst. Zan'ne knew of her frustration and emphasized with her, and he is who suggested that she visit Alhazred to learn magic as an outlet for her feelings.

Insaf then became the old Krok's student, and learned Balance and Death magics. Soon after, the Chosen Wizard arrived in Krokotopia, eventually defeating Krokopatra. As they left, Alhazred suggested to Insaf that she take classes at Ravenwood to further her studies, and even gave the school a recommendation for her - which allowed her to enroll. Insaf moved to Wizard City despite the enormity of the change, hoping to become more confident in herself and in her magics.

Insaf was initially very overwhelmed by Wizard City and its bustling, busy campus. She found herself often missing her desert home, but was grateful for the chance to learn more magic, which had become a core part of her and how she expressed herself. Despite this, she still found herself needing to hide her anger and louder emotions, not wanting to ruin her opportunity that her teacher had graciously given her. Combined with her anxiety and shyness, she found herself isolated from her classmates and had difficulties making any friends. That is, until, she was randomly paired on a Death class assignment with a fellow student - Dórmrund Runechanter. The two outcasts eventually found that their more reserved personalities played off one another well, and Rund never judged Insaf for her more unsightly feelings and quirks, allowing the Mander to finally be her true self. After being partners on their project they became unlikely friends, and post a few regular lunch dates behind the Death school, girlfriends!
