Helenia Marten
My old teacher used to say that everyone has a place in this world. Well, I have to disagree. My past is ashes. My future a foggy path caught between one side's fear and the other's distrust. For over three hundred years I have wandered aimlessly under the sky. Never found my place and probably never will.Every age has its Legends. Its saviors in shining armor and villains bent on destruction. Helenia Marten fits in neither category. Renowned and feared throughout the land, the Witch of Galean is widely acknowledged as one of the most powerful mages of her age, if not all time. Exile. Outcast. Master of Mana. A thousand names for a thousand deeds and a life full of contradictions. While not as influential as others, there is no doubt that she earned the title of legend a dozen times over.

Characteristics
Physical Appearance
Tall, thin yet muscular, Helenia is the typical example of a female mage. A beautiful face, two sparkling blue eyes drawing one's attention, is framed by usually long streaks of hair. Its color can vary as she likes to change it via a spell known as Coloring Haze. More often than not, however, it will remain in its natural brown state. To the naked eye, her skin seems perfect without blemishes or scars, an oddity considering her centuries of fighting. A Mage, however, may become aware of the permanent spell she seems to keep on herself, more specifically her upper torso and left leg.Personality
Helenia is not what you would call a fun person to be around. At least at first glance. Additionally, she seems to lack the quirkiness that is so common in other Mages of her rank and/or age. Anyone approaching her, possibly drawn in by her beauty, will easily be turned away by her gruff demeanor, bleak outlook on life and biting sarcasm. Behind that veil, however, is a calm, polite and friendly person. Shown most clearly in her relationship with Yensid, part his mentor and part his elder sister. By no means a genius, she does have a mind for combat, able to quickly develop new tactics and techniques to deal with her opponent/s. To underestimate her in battle is a death sentence. Facing Helenia means dealing with fast and hard-hitting strikes as well as insidious traps.To be quiet honest, I never had any real dreams. I never wanted to become some legendary and powerful mage. I just needed something to lose myself in, you know? Something to strive toward. And what better than the endless well of mystery that is Mana?
I may be a mercenary, but I do honor my contracts. Veridia paid me to defend the Galean Bridge and by the gods, I will defend it.An Exile but not a Rouge It is common knowledge that Helenia Marten officially cut ties with the Arcane Hierarchy in 115 AoR. Curiously she wasn't declared a Rouge for doing so and has since remained in a strange limbo between the honorable and dishonorable members of Mage society. Outside of her work, she has no connections in the wider world, preferring to travel in solitude. The only exception being a Sadorian farmer she would visit regularly over the years.
