Gwen

Grand Light Enchanter Sahar (a.k.a. Gwen)

Note: This article has been changed multiple times. This is due to inaccurate history.   She is the most recent light enchanter to live. With her great ability, she received longer life and has lived a lot longer than many other people.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

While she may look weak, her power isn't with her muscle. She's agile and dexterous instead of having brute strength.

Body Features

She has a generally average build for a fexian female. While not overly weak or sickly, but all tall or large.

Special abilities

Like many people she has Solar Affinity, but also is considered Light Blessed.

Apparel & Accessories

Always wearing light robes with the color white. They aren't heavy or bulky to allow freedom of movement due to the required dexterity for her magic. When not in combat or on an adventure she would wear a cloak along with her robes.The robe would be something of a dark different color such as dark red or blue.

Specialized Equipment

In combat she has specialized in using an Enchanter's Focus which can take many forms of weapons. This has resulted in using swords or large two handed weapons. Since the focus has little weight, the size does not contribute to the weight.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

When she was born, she had two other siblings, Kareem and Fatima, under the family crest of a phoenix. Like many fexians in the Sor-Ta Empire, they are born into indentured servitude under the narigita. Life would be brutal and unforgiving, however luck was on their side. A ship transporting rivan fruit to the carawands. Her mother approached a human man by the name of Captain Robin Lindwick to act a as a guide to help the new traveler through the region for transport to their final destination. He agreed and unknowingly she smuggled her kits aboard. It wasn't long before the local officials discovered her escape and placed a bounty upon her. At first everything was fine, but at the next stop on their route they were discovered, and she was arrested. Accounts suggest that the captain felt pity for her and stole one of the three before they were sent back. Her mother was executed soon after. It was reported that he kept Sahar for a time, but not long.   Our reports suggest that she was dropped off in an orphanage in Diamondshore a year or two later. She stayed there for most of her life. During her early years she a more of a snack for magic compared to the other kids and thus was outcasted quite a bit. She ended up finding comfort in solitude and the ships that passed through the harbor. Our interviews with the house mothers can us more insight to her social life. It was believed that she had two friends who were both human. While they didn't play often, they did try to include her in a variety of activities. This would change when they were adopted. In her later years, for income to provide for the house, she began working for a local noble family as a maid. At this point she only interacted with the noble's family except for one person. A older man who worked on her walk home. We were not able to find this man or anything else about him, but he was mention to her home's staff on multiple occasions. This was about the same until one fateful day where she suddenly disappeared. At first many thought she was kidnapped, but that of course was not true.   Little is known what happened for weeks, but it was when she appeared on the The Academy's doorstep that we were able to track her movements again. She began living with a merchant by the name of John Darwin as she attended the Academy, in which was accepted immediately. We have tried to uncover how the most prestigious school in the world accepted her, but we have received no response. From then on she was brought to a the Academy where she began she first steps towards learning magic. After many years she left from there and proceeded to travel the world. No one really knows why.
