Lasair
Lasair (a.k.a. Wildcat, Soldottir)
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
A young woman of respectable size, with flaming red hair a sharp smile. She's decently fit (has to be with all the walking and running she does), but has no sharp edges to her physique. An old injury to her knee, when she was young, gives her a slight limp that gets worse on days when she's been walking a lot. A few small scars on her face and a series of large ones on her left hand + arm from when she hurt it after it got pinned by a rock during a cave in. Is also an old injury that acts up.
Body Features
Very tanned skin, flaming red hair of medium length.
Facial Features
Round face with a few freckles from the sun. High cheekbones and large eyes. Eyebrows on the bushier side.
Identifying Characteristics
Tattoo of a firebird on her left bicep, runic tattoos all up her right arm (runes for protection, stealth, strength, and healing, among others).
Scars up and down her left arm.
Physical quirks
Left-handed, a habit of tracing the tattoos on her arm, chews her lip when she's thinking, poor posture unless she's actively in a situation where she needs good posture.
Special abilities
She is a Spellweaver - a Mage that has the ability to manipulate their magic and create their own spells as they need them. This does not translate to her ability to perform feats of magecraft, however.
Apparel & Accessories
Her clothing is very flowy with layers, as is most traditional mage garb. She usually wears short-sleeved tunics and tall boots, with a long-sleeved undershirt (to help protect from spills!) underneath. She wears the colors of Idoros - red, brown, and pale blue - with accents in the colors of her father's people - orange and gold.
All of her clothing, while not overly fancy or new, is very well-made and sturdy. She's gone back in and stitched runes into the fabric to better protect it from wear and tear in addition to protections for her person.
She also wears a crystal pendant that was given to her by her father. It's made of a red crystal called deargite that's very common (not really worth anything) and glows with an inner light.
Specialized Equipment
"Bottomless" Satchel - Enchanted by Raonull as a gift, her satchel holds way more than it should be able to. She keeps extra parchment and charcoal in it at all times, plus any spellbooks and other goodies that she needs at the time.
Dia-steel dagger - Another "gift" from Raonull, she actually stole the dagger from him so she could have a weapon to practice enchanting on. She was unsuccessful in enchanting it, so she returned it only to have her mentor let her keep it and insist on training her to use it.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born in the winter of the Midnight Year to a mixed line, Lasair grew up on the border of the Deep and the Undercity with both of her parents. Her mother was a Mage native to Idorough and her father is a refugee from somewhere in the Eastern region. Her mother was disowned by her family due to her marriage to her father and her father, being an orphan, had no family name to speak of, so neither does Lasair. Despite this, they were able to find a place live and to raise their daughter.
Her early life passed by tamely other than the curiosity and magical talent that got her into trouble. Her father, despite not being a Mage himself, supported her wholeheartedly and often listened to her talk over spells and techniques with her mother, who worked for the Miner's guild as a healer. Their family did face difficulties both because of her mother's history and their home's location (the border of the Undercity and the Deep), but they were determined to keep their place and made it work.
Lasair's mother died when she was twelve to a disease wave that had taken the city. She had been helping in the healing tents when she got ill and succumbed to the illness. Despite this, Lasair still wanted to use her magic to help others and decided to dedicate herself to trying to get into the college. When she was fifteen, she met Raonull when she was trying to get to the summit to submit her application, and she got in with his help. She officially became his apprentice a year later.
In recent years, Lasair has become a senior student at the college and looks to join the Mage's guild upon finishing her project. She works at Raonull's shop as an outsourcer for spell work and helps him with his research. She still lives with her father, who works as a courier for the miners and the workers.
Gender Identity
She is a woman and proud! She/her/hers all the way!
Sexuality
She is bisexual and knows it! Or, at least she knows that she's just as likely to drool over the girls as she is over the guys in the streets. She's had flings with people of all types.
Education
Tutored in numbers and letters by her parents. Current student at the Idorough Mage College.
Employment
Works as a research assistant and apprentice of Raonull Adhairt. She started as simply a helper in the shop - fetching things for customers and such - but now actively helps the Mage with his projects even though she cannot work the Magecraft herself.
Accomplishments & Achievements
She was accepted into the College at the age of 15 despite having low blood status and only one sponsor. She has also managed to cast incredibly high-level spells despite her young age.
Failures & Embarrassments
She has experienced many a failure at enchantment and other forms of Magecraft. One incident was when she tried to enchant her satchel with a bottomless charm and instead created a bag that would incinerate any object placed within.
Mental Trauma
Still dealing with the grief of losing her mother, though it's not as raw at this point in her life.
Intellectual Characteristics
She is incredibly curious and has an intuition for casting that astounds most senior Mages. While she can think things through logically, she also has quite the imagination and uses that to problem solve most of the time.
She also has ADHD (though they don't know that because: fantasy world!).
Morality & Philosophy
She prefers to help people in general, but is more than willing to do harm if she needs to. She believes in hope and helping those in need, but doing what is necessary for the safety of the whole. This comes into conflict with her loyalty to those she is close to, especially if they fall on the side of hurting others. She tries to avoid conflict and only harm if she has a due cause.
Taboos
She does not tolerate betrayal, the harming of children, the use of power for personal gain, and laziness.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
She is incredibly curious, both about magic and the world around her. She strives to make her parents proud by helping the people of Arrijion using her natural talents. She wishes for a world where people aren't forced to leave their homes and live in fear of invasion.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Extremely talented at casting spells and manipulating them to her needs. Not good at all at magecraft. Very good at both making people love her and making them hate her. Can't control her chaotic impulses very well.
Likes & Dislikes
Likes: Learning new spells, bugging Raonull, sunrises, Idoro tea, her mother's chocolate-chili cookies, spending time with her father.
Dislikes: darkness, fuqbois, Raonull's Magebrew, scent of rock-dust, the cold
Virtues & Personality perks
Curious, kind, takes no shit, loyal
Vices & Personality flaws
Impulsive, has trouble focusing, doesn't vocalize her emotions, can hyper-focus, has stage-fright and anxiety in unfamiliar environments
Personality Quirks
Drums her fingers when thinking, blushes very easily, chews her fingernails
Hygiene
She prefers to be clean, but usually has charcoal on her hands and smudges on her face. Her hair is usually clean and up out of the way, but sometimes she gets caught up in reading or a project and forgets.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Is known at the College by both students and professors, though many see her as eccentric and odd for spending her time with a "Sale-Mage" (a Mage who is not affiliated with the guild and sells their services). There are a few professors who will help her with things if she asks.
She is well-liked among the miners who live around her because she always makes sure to spend time with them and help with their stone-lung.
Family Ties
Her mother's blood family is still in the city, but, as they disowned her mother, they cannot be called upon for favors. Thus, her only family is her father.
Religious Views
She believes in the Creator and knows of the church's teachings, though she is more concerned with her research than she is with praying to a god who left them to the clutches of the Void.
She also believes in the Ashblood and dreams of teaming up with them to kill Wyrueir.
Social Aptitude
She can be charismatic if she wishes, but mostly she prefers to speak her mind and not put up with people who refuse to talk in a direct manner. She does know how to "behave" and will do so when the situation calls for it.
Others consider her to be good at lecturing and speaking, but she hates it and would very much rather not be the center of attention in that manner. She also begins to talk faster when she is nervous.
Mannerisms
She uses her hands to annunciate her words a lot, which she picked up from her father. She will slouch and generally make herself smaller unless she is in an environment which she knows and is able to navigate well.
Speech
While she has the same accent as everyone in Idorough, certain inflections of some words are influenced by her father, who has retained his Eastern accent despite the years he'd lived in the city. She often uses Eastern greetings and other phrases, but easily mixes both dialects together in a mishmash that only her father and Raonull can decipher when she gets going fast.
Relationships
History
Raonull met Lasair when she was attempting to gain entry to the Summit to apply for studentship. He vouched for her despite them never having met in their lives and she attached herself to him, figuring out where his workshop was and generally hanging around and asking questions. He, despite complaining about the constant intrusions, appreciated her curiosity and helped her gain admittance to the College and took her on as his apprentice.
Nicknames & Petnames
For Raonull: Old Man, Rao For Lasair: Red, Kid
Relationship Reasoning
It makes logical sense. Raonull is an accomplished mage with ties to both the College and the Clarets who was willing to take on an apprentice, and Lasair needed someone to take her on if she had any hope of furthering her training to go and fight the voiders.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Both have an almost insatiable curiosity that's gotten them into trouble. They also both have an innate talent for spellweaving which lends itself to both magecraft and casting. They're stubborn to a fault and will have arguments that span weeks, though they also are kind and want to help others at heart. They both enjoy researching and experimenting with various spells, potions, and devices, especially the ones that go *boom*.
Shared Secrets
They have kept knowledge of more than a few lab accidents in their time and will cover for each other no-questions-asked so long as they get an explanation later. Lasair has shared her sexuality with Raonull as well as stories about her various "conquests". Raonull has shared some of his past, specifically that he was once a Claret, but was caught concealing his talents and was kicked from the order.
Legal Status
Master and Apprentice
Wealth & Financial state
Her family has some money saved up, but they are by no means high class. She and her father put most of their money to food and upkeep to their home, and any extra usually goes to supplies for her projects that Raonull won't provide. They do have some extra for small personal purchases.
