Friya Ostamore
Magister
Handling the Topaz currents is much like the process of crafting a fine piece of jewellery, or carving a masterful statue. It is a process, a skilled craftsmenship, a task of workmanship. It is a skilled process, a trained skill set.
Friya attempting to explain, as best she can to Tuli what being a Topaz Magister entails, how handling their magick feels.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Friya is a tall woman, even amongst the Koltani. Tall, lithe, strong of build, with notably strong feminine features form. Her hair often worn in a raven tail, a simple style, her hair kept in a loose ponytail at the back, her bangs pinned over her left ear with a raven tail feather. She looks the part of marble almost, that seeming to be part of the traits she has inherited from her Geomantic bond, as well as the deep brown-black of her hair and the deep loamy color of her eyes.
Facial Features
She has a intellectual look in her eyes, a well learned demeanor she wears willingly and openly on her face. She has soft, kind facial features, though they can almost seem a little cold as well, almost statue-esque. She is undeniably beautiful and powerful, which is worn all across her face, seeming to contain the raw beauty and power of the mountains. She wears patience on her face as well, a patience of a true craft person and the mark of a true Topaz Magister.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Friya is a relatively recent graduate of the Magisterium, only recently recieving her full license of as a Magister. Her powers came to her at a very young age, about four or five, and her parents more or less abandoned her, wanting nothing to do with her, turning her over to the first authority they could find. Interestingly enough it was her now fast friend, Fenna, whom she was turned over to, well her amongst others.
Fenna played a large part in what would come over the next two decades of her life, arranging for her transferance to the Geata-Iarainn Magisterium Collegiate, to recieve the finest education any potential Topaz magister could hope for. She accepted a brief deployment within the Armory of Valor, spending two decades within the city as an outside friend, understanding that this young girl had been abandoned by her family, and rightfully assumed she would need more than education, she would need friendship.
Over the years of her education to become a Topaz Magister, Friya would learn to not only wield the energies of Domhan, of earth, but would learn a skilled trade, that of a jeweller, and skill at arms and with armor, as is the want and custom of the Topaz Order. They are unique amongst magisters in this facet, for they are quite comfortable in even the heaviest of arms and armor, and learn discipline, patience and martial prowess along with dabbling in many skilled trades of an artisan's nature, and committing to at least one. This is all to strengthen their bond with the primordial force of Stone and Earth, with Domhan. Over the years Friya took to this regimen like a fish to water, and grew into a powerful and skillful young woman, a true example of the ideal student of Geomancy.
To this day Friya is grateful for Fenna, and to this day, even after graduating and having traveled fairly broadly, has not yet taken it upon herself to seek out her family in Dolfar, where she was born, along Raechin's southeastern coasts. However at some point she intends to, and hopes that Fenna and her other eclectic friends she has come to see as family will accompany her.

Sexuality
Though she does not openly discuss her sexuality, as Fredwick pointed out to her early upon meeting him, the way she looks at Fenna isn't that hard to read. Friya has laid with men and women, in her past, such is going to happen with apprentices in their teenage years, the emotions of learning the magick arts, the way manna can heighten certain feelings, emotions and aspects of one's personality, it is unavoidable that 'activities' will take place. However as she came out of her teenage years and that period of discovery, she knew very clearly the desires and attractions she felt leaned specifically one way, and that was to her fellow women. As such, over the last seven or eight years she has never lain with a man, nor has she felt any desire to.
However she has battled her feelings and sexuality, or at least her attractions, in a different way and still is, as Fredwick called her out for quite early in knowing her.

Taboos
Much like Fenna, though Friya is unaware of this, just as Fenna is of Friya's own internal feelings and conflict, she has been struggling the last few months, perhaps even years of their continued relationship with desiring more. She has fallen in love with her dwarven companion. To the point where for the last three years Friya has not sought nor even considered relations with another person. However she has not expressed her feelings directly for a number of reasons, battling a number of taboos and hurdles tied to the idea of such a relationship internally.
One might think the first and most obvious of these would be the stigma and judgements that might come from her fellow magisters, but she honestly couldn't care less about that aspect. No her concerns are things like the conflict of interests and the dynamic of their very roles in society. The idea, no matter how unlikely, that Fenna could one day, if things ever were to go horribly wrong, be in a position where she was legally, morally and institutionally obligated to execute Friya....she couldn't imagine the trauma that would come from that if they were lovers, being as close as they are now would be painful enough. Also there is the inherent difficulty of internal taboos. Friya is attracted to Fenna, heavily so, yet also cannot simply erase the memories of seeing her as an almost motherly figure, then like a big sister, and then like a best friend. The last of these is no issue, but the first two from her youth create internal mental blocks that she has not yet really come to grips with or been able to hurdle and put aside. She understands people change as they grow, and she is consciously aware they are not related by blood, hell the pair are not even the same species! But conscious acknowledgement does not remove the barrier in her own subconscious that this creates, nor does it mean she can simply come to grips with accepting and moving past those memories and being comfortable entirely with them.
Finally, the very nature of their expected life spans, the fact that Fenna is a Dwarf of only 145 years, which does basically make them a similar age, comparatively. However, Friya has just reached her 26th year, and as such, at best if they were to get together, they would have a few happy decades, an eyeblink by Fenna's life expectancy, and perhaps, if Friya lives a long and happy life, Fenna will be into her second century of life, not even middle aged for her kind, when Friya would die of old age. On some level Friya feels that even if all the other hurdles and doubts could be simply overcome, getting into such a relationship would be selfish of her and unfair to Fenna for what it would put her through. And so, though the feelings grow and the internal battle continues, she has yet to address how she feels to Fenna in any way.

Unbeknownst to Friya, Fenna is struggling with many of the same doubts and hurdles and shares her feelings and attraction.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Friya is simply trying to establish what should come next for her and her talents. So much of her life was spent in pursuit of simply the goal of proper licensing, of acquiring the necessary documentation to simply be allowed to exist, that she had never truly considered what would come next in her life. That has led her on this strange and winding road that now finds her with her eclectic circle of friends, this strange beginning of a sort of an adventuring companionship she finds herself part of. Who knows, perhaps this is her path, there is but one way for her to find out.
Social
Speech
Friya has a thick almost sultry and earthy accent, her voice feminine, but of a surprising baritone, with a similar accent to the Suranthi, her words somewhat slurred and joined, dropping 'g' and 'h' in certain words, such as 'ere (here) or feelin' (feeling), as well as odd pronounciations such as 'Nae' (both now and no).
