Mentality

Personal history

As cliché as it is, Sariel has never known her parents. She supposes she has some somewhere, or had some at least. In any case she's never seen them, nor has she heard their names. As far as she's concerned Melinar is her father. Or...Melinar the Magnanimous as he's want to call himself. A great wizard for sure, a great father? Questionable, but Sariel thinks the world of him. So, Sariel grew up in a magical library owned by what seems to be an eternally old wizard who likes to refer to himself as magnanimous. Unsurprisingly, she turned out to be somewhat of a magical prodigy, learning her first spell before reaching physical maturity at age 16. However, at the age of 80, Melinar, being especially experimental with magic, suffered from a major accident and unfortunately perished. Sariel refused to leave the Library for some time, surrounding herself with her father's things and immersing herself in his notes. Especially interested in his notes on Dragons & their history & Lore. One day however, maybe an accident, maybe touched by destiny, during one of her own experiments, the Library was destroyed. Left with very little, only Melinar's grimoire & the clothes she was wearing on her back she ventured out into the Winterwood, a task she had never taken before. It was on her journey out that she would discover her staff, what she would later name Froustmourne in the ruins of another tower. Her travels took her to the Sword Coast, and there she's been ever since.

Education

Having been raised by a wizard, Sariel's education is largely arcane in nature, though she has excellent problem solving skills as well & a large reservoir of knowledge on the subject of dragons & spellcrafting.

Employment

Sariel has never had a traditional "employer" as you would call it. She does however offer her skills as a wizard & loremaster of many things for coin in her travels. Not to mention that delving ruins for lost lore can also lead to some nice treasure.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Sariel is very acomplished at her survival outside her library home. Having never left before the accident, fate was not on her side. Screw surviving, she's been all but thriving on the road.

Failures & Embarrassments

Sariels greatest failure & embarassment will always be the destruction of her father's library. She knows that experimenting with creating new magical spells is dangerous, but mores the reason for her to be ashamed at her cataclysmic failure.

Mental Trauma

Sariel is still fairly young, she has yet to develop any serious mental traumas, give her time though. The life of an adventurer is not an easy one.

Intellectual Characteristics

Bright, cheery and just a little bit sarcastic, Sariel can often let her thoughts get away from her. Ending up with her just prattling on forever about whatever she was talking about. Living alone for so long has also caused her to develop a habit of voicing her thoughts out loud, a trait that is worrying to some other folks.
