Appearance
-
Very tall, around 6'4"—thin, with white hair and a coppery complexion. Tends to wear loose, flowing clothing and walks with a cane, favoring her right leg. One eye is missing, the other is dark green. The left side of her mouth is drawn back in a permanent grimace, or sneer, or wince, depending on the viewer's presuppositions—often she covers that side while smiling. Has a point to her ears, and her eye reflects light like a cat's, marking her as a mage.
-
Impression
-
Often comes off as intimidating, due to her appearance and brusque demeanor. Quite slow to trust, but fiercely loyal to those she does. She is... Awkward and anxious in matters of love, romantic and otherwise—she's got a softer heart than she would like to think.
-
Voice
-
A quiet, raspy tenor with an English accent. There's a hint of her homeland's beneath it but I'm still figuring out what it is
-
Origin
-
Windemere-by-the-sea, Merelin Province, Calverain. Or Port Miriam, after it gains its independence.

Profile
A shy, bookish arcanist presently teaching at Royal College in Haven City. Or perhaps a brave pioneer working to restore the cursed ruin of Port Halfair to its former glory. Or perhaps a frosty, reclusive Dossit hedge-witch. Or perhaps the most feared warmage of the past two centuries. In any case: she has seen and done far, far too much for any one soul. Er—would you care for some tea?
(but I tell you, a cat must have three different names.)
