Appearance

Physical Description

Lia looks quite fragile. She doesn't have much muscle mass and isn't very agile either, although her otherworldly nature lends her some unexpected hardiness. However, she has all the beauty of an elf and a djinn combined.

Body Features

Her skin is sky blue and her hair is white. Other than this, she looks much like an elf.

Facial Features

Her ears are pointed like an elf's. Her face is oval shaped and quite beautiful, with big blue eyes and lush lips which often curve into a slight smile. She generally makes an effort to appear pleasant and approachable.

Identifying Characteristics

She's blue. And regularly crackles with electricity.

Physical quirks

She has a straight posture and steps lightly, almost as if she's about to lift off the ground at any moment. As a trained actress, her mannerisms are quite deliberate.

Apparel & Accessories

She wears traditional Qaroese clothing - loose, baggy trousers for freedom of movement. Her beloved white cloak was a gift from her father, enchanted to never get dirty. She wears a magical amulet, though her training has reached the point where she no longer needs it as an arcane focus.

Special abilities

She was born with air elemental magic, and has had extensive training in its use as a weapon.

Mentality

Personal history

Lia has lived a sheltered life. Raised by her father alone, she's always been loved and somewhat spoiled, although of course she still felt her mother's absence.

Education

She attended the Ghelissian Sorcerers' Academy, but hasn't graduated yet (her final exam remains).

Accomplishments & Achievements

Lia has been quite successful in her studies, both magical and acting. However, she hasn't completed the former, and has relegated the latter to merely a hobby.

As a member of Telum Veritas, she's taken part in the fall of the Spire, the defeat of the demon Makuba, and the rescue of Carthigan and Violet from Dal Zarma.

Failures & Embarrassments

Her life's been full of these since she left her hometown of Ghelissia and accidentally ended up on the other side of the world. In fact, the first big one was what led to that incident - made desperate by her perceived inadequacies in her sorcery training, she sneaked into a private library that, unbeknownst to her, belonged to none other than Kai Vihar himself. She was captured and brought to him, utterly terrified of what her punishment would be. Fortunately for her, instead of execution, he decided to help her out. Still, that she first met her personal hero and role model whom she's always admired from afar in this way mortifies her to this day.

Lia's belief in her "destiny" makes her prone to take responsibility and beat herself up about things that she has no real control over. In her mind, if she can't do what she's set out to do - if the enemy wins, or people die despite her best efforts - then it's her fault for not being strong and capable enough. Thus, she puts a great weight on her own shoulders.

On a lighter note, her lack of musical talent was an embarrassment for her early on in her life, as her father is a very successful musician.

Intellectual Characteristics

She is more intelligent than average, but not a genius by any means. She is quite knowledgeable about magic as a result of many years of education, but she has always done better with practice than theory. She has great intuitive talent and understanding of her own magical powers. More recently, as she was faced with the harsh realities of war, she has gone into medical training and has excelled at it.
 
Since her arrival in Ellisan Velis, she has managed to find a tutor: Sage Ghant, who trained her mother back in the day. As such, she has begun training as a Tempest, one of the famed war mages of Ellisan Velis.

Morality & Philosophy

Lia has a strong moral compass and believes that her destiny is to use her powers for good, vanquishing evil and protecting the innocent. With her extraordinary djinn heritage and resulting elemental magic, she believes she is "special" and has a chance to make a real difference in the world.
 
Since learning more about her mother's side of the family (namely, the enormous revelation that they are royalty), her aforementioned belief has been pretty much confirmed. She is quite special, though in ways she never imagined. She is still unsure what this means for her in the long term, however. She definitely does not feel fit to rule anything.

Taboos

Lia is very open minded, generally speaking - she has had some wild years in college. Partied, drunk, done drugs, slept around. She has grown out of all of that, and has become more reserved and responsible, but she still doesn't consider any of that particularly taboo.
 
One societal taboo of her homeland that she has never gotten over, however, is the hatred of warlocks. To the sorcerers of Al'Qaro, making pacts for power is a despicable thing.

Known Languages

Common, Old Qaroese, Primordial, Elvish, Nexalan

Personality

Motivation

She dreams of becoming a powerful sorcerer, and using that power to change the world for the better. She wants to find her mother, whom she's never known, but used to tell herself it was only for magical training. Since becoming more aware of her own family history and the general situation in Ellisan Velis, her primary motivator has been the desire to save her mother, who she believes to have been imprisoned against her will.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Very competent and knowledgeable when it comes to magic, a good actress, and to her father's great chagrin, has no musical talent at all.

Likes & Dislikes

Loves cardamom tea and her new favourite, jhellina leaf tea, as well as sleeping in, being social, and showing off her magic. Loves her father dearly, and admires Kai Vihar of Ghelissia. She dislikes being in the wilderness, and the Regency (although since the fall of the Spire, she's been persuaded to give the Stantons the benefit of the doubt). Is extremely wary of those who make any sort of pact with otherworldly entities. She hates being woken up.

Virtues & Personality perks

Kind and courageous, always seeks to help people and fight injustice. Selfless to a point.

Vices & Personality flaws

Quite rigid in her beliefs, not always sure what to do with gray morality. Used to think quite highly of herself but has been disabused of that notion. Prone to blaming herself for everything.

Family Ties

She has a very strong bond with her father, who raised her alone. She has no other living relatives on her father's side. She's never known her mother or her maternal grandfather, who's still alive, though ill.

Religious Views

Lia is not particularly religious. Though she respects and acknowledges the Sisters and the Scions, she was raised with the Qaroese mentality that anything is achievable through magic.

Social Aptitude

Extroverted and very charismatic, she quickly endears most people to herself. Her genuinely kind and empathetic personality aids her in this. She's a reserved and diplomatic person most of the time, though her volatile emotions sometimes get the better of her.

Hobbies & Pets

She loves acting, and would have probably chosen it as her profession if she hadn't manifested magical powers. As things are, she's decided to pursue her magical training and make a real difference in the world instead.
 
When she was a child, she had a little lapdog, Mimi. When the dog died of old age, little Lia swore off of pets; however, she has recently bonded a baby blitzschlange, Khesslia.
