Cita Ventura

"Science is the magic of our modern era, just as fickle and twice as beautiful."

Leader of the world-famous mage cabal Iter Eternis, Cita Ventura is the darling of the Awakened World. Bright and brash, she contains an infectious energy in all things she does and makes the often difficult to grasp concepts of Etheric Science easy and exciting. She stops at nothing to keep moving forward, to keep innovating, and demands the same attiude from the rest of the Society of Ether.

Born a Syndicate princess in the high-rises of São Paolo, what her family thought was going to be a covert operation into the beating heart of the Etherites in London caused her to see the truth of the world she lived in and turn Tradition. It was during her paradigm shift did she met her now-wife, Analisa Skylark. The forming of the Iter Eternis was essentially them getting married in the eyes of the Awakened, but her taking on her first two apprentices, unstable child prodigy Isaac Wallace and lost university student Raul Brodeur really sealed the deal. Iter Eternis is her family, moreso than the average cabal, and while she may work all of her trainees, she loves them in the way a mother would love a child.

Her specific area of research is the understanding of how different mage practices, mundane sciences, and alternative magics such as Changeling arts and vampiric Thaumaturgy affect both caster and the wider Tellurian, an odd mix between sociology and metaphysics. While the main meat of her research is very theoretical and difficult for anyone below Archmastery to understand, she often gets the Society of Ether to okay more...low-brow research.
