Life Events

1. Romance

She met her first husband, Lelio Menashe Ruan, when she was in her 20s. They got married after a flurry of a passionate courtship. She imagined her whole life being at his side.

2. Windfall: Recognition.

While a Priestess, she was recoginized as having been one of the brightest students they had ever had. She completed her education course work long before her years of wisdom and she was given a "Junior Elder" honor. This changed nothing for her socially, other then it was a social recoginition for her academic excellence.
She has advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks with other people in the Church of Hope that know of her achievements (which would be most people in the church now that she is the Reverd Mother).

3. Friendship

She made good friends with Greta Ortrun Nani while they were studying religious texts together. Greta was struggling and she helped her learn the material. Their friendship blossomed from their shared faith.

4. Tragedy

She miscarried a child with Lelio Menashe Ruan and then a year later she she lost him a year later to an infection from a farming accident. She was denied having a family that she so strongly desired and found herself struggling with bitter feelings.

6. Tragedy

A second time the universe made her a widow and she decided that she was not meant to be a wife or mother, but that her lfie was meant to be dedicated fully to The Maker.

People believe she's smart and aided her in developing her skills further. Gain proficiency in one skill or tool as well as one additional language: Survival and German

8. Enemy

Winfrith Kennard has become her enemy because she has not properly favored the Church of Hope in her rulings as she should.

Failing to rule by the will of The Maker has demonstrated that she cannot be trusted and must be dispensed with.

Biases

Positive Biases

Favors Humans over other races.

Negative Biases

Considers The Awakened and The Others to be lesser races.

Talent

Perfect memory. She recalls everything that she has read word for word. She recalls conversations with detail and emotional impression. Her mind is a steel trap.

Mannerism

Speaks in an unusually formal manner. Her station requires that she put the church first and that means that she must always behave as the leader of the chruch should. There is never a time that she is not representing her faith and her god.

Personality Trait

I see omens in every event and action. The Maker tries to speak to us, we just need to listen.

Ideal

Tradition. The ancient traditions of worship and sacrifice must be preserved and upheld. (Lawful)

Bond

Everything I do is for The Maker.

Flaw

I am inflexible in my thinking.
