Rund

Dómrund was born in Ravenscar Village to Mord Runechanter. From an early age, she proved herself very versatile with rune magic, and was incredibly intelligent. She was groomed into the position of a Coven member, being taught magic and given hours of text to read and study. If she became anything like her father - a very powerful magic user adept in shapeshifting, illusion, and rune magic - she'd be a powerful asset. And, judging from her skills as a child, she appeared to be very far ahead of him already. As such, Dómrund was kept isolated from the other Ravens, followed and monitored by Coven guards at every moment. She was allowed access to the Raven’s towers of knowledge, and had memorized every scroll the Ravens keep.

In the Wizard’s siege of the Raven Fortress, Dómrund by chance is caught in the fray. She’s struck by a stray bolt of magic right in the head, and goes flying out the side of the fortress. She falls one or two stories onto the glacier outside, chipping her beak in the process. She lies out in the snow for some time, before allies of the Wizard find her and prevent her from freezing to death. As the remaining Coven members are rounded up, Dómrund is kept in custody by the Ravens. After deeming her not a threat, the Ravens decide to send her to Ravenwood to be looked after- and while there she appears to have no memory of her Coven roots. After her traumatic injury, along with losing her memory, she now rarely speaks to others and prefers to focus on magic to distract herself.

Dómrund accepted her new life at Ravenwood, attempting to put her turmultuous past behind her - while still very aware that the adults around her regarded her with uncertainty. She resigned to a quiet life in the shadows of her fellow students, avoiding the bustling areas of campus as much as possible. The dullness of her life was surprisingly interrupted when she was paired with her anxious Mander classmate Insaf on a Death assignment. Insaf didn't ask anything of Dómrund, or cast her judging looks. Rund found herself enjoying their quiet times together, and even began to open up bit by bit on her own terms. After being partners on their project they became unlikely friends, and post a few regular lunch dates behind the Death school, girlfriends!
