The Little Chef Amalya Altrix
Amalya, the Halfling Wizard
A once small and bullied child, Amalya Altrix grew up in a quaint farming village grove. While her family was loving, her peers were not as kind to her. The young girl was born with quite large, pointed ears and the other children went out of their way to make sure she knew she was a misfit among them. She would attempt to stand up for herself, but fail, and soon would go crying home to where her mother was. Amalya would assist her in preparing their next meal while her father and older siblings worked the farm. Cooking and laughing with her mother always seemed to relax her most; not to mention the fancy tricks she would seemingly cast out of nowhere!

Anyone who comes across Amalya has nothing but positive things to say about her. Some might describe her as selfless, others as exceedingly motherly, but all would agree that she is a generous being. She brings out the good in people and she does her best to put on an encouraging attitude. Carefree and compassionate, the young Halfling almost always has a smile on her face! Amalya has worked hard to get to where she’s been and to get to where she needs to be; she knows all too well what it means to have to make sacrifices. Spreading that optimistic outlook and keeping bellies full are her utmost priority in life where ever life may take her. Protecting people from harm’s way is vital to her…
Every few years she makes her way around from place to place. Amalya is much like a vagrant; enjoying the different people, places, and scenery from every corner of the coast. Her handiwork in the kitchen makes her a quick favorite to locals where ever she goes so she’s never without coin in her pocket. Some would insist for her to stay, but she kindly refused their offers and pressed on.
It’s not that she didn’t want to stay. Settling in a city, providing meals and entertainment to people; Amalya has always wanted that. However, she has some unfinished business and she knows that she can’t run from it forever...
But maybe this portal business could help with that.
Physical Description
She's undergone quite a beating from a Storm Ogre which left her physically scarred across her face. She is also missing a part of her ear because of this as well.
Overall though, she is physically healthy!
Amalya has a soft, fair skin tone. She is heavier than most Halflings but her body is proportioned and surprisingly shapely, hidden beneath her layers of clothing and her favorite white wizard's coat. Her ears point outward and are long which sometimes mistakes her for a half-elf.
Amalya has some scarring down the left side of her face and is missing part of her ear from an unfortunate incident with a Storm Ogre.
Her bright, blue hair really stands out in a crowd.
Amalya wears a full white coat with two red stripes over the side. It has some buttons to keep it closed and belt to carry small bags on on it. She has a hat to match with a feather and some ribbon, and a small heart-shaped brooch to keep them in place.
Amalya carries a magic staff with her, passed down from her mother. She calls him Staffy!
Mental characteristics
Amalya is very academically adept! Give her a book or something to study and she will pick it up quite fast.
Personality Characteristics
Amalya feels it's her duty in life to help and protect the people around her. She makes it her goal in life to make others happy so that they don't have to feel alone or afraid.
She is quite smart, but is also quite naive. Ask her about the arcane and she can most likely tell you all about it. Ask her where babies come from? Oh boy...
○ She absolutely loves to cook!
x She doesn't like being underestimated or belittled.
Her ears will twitch or wiggle from excitement, or if she hears someone exclaiming that they are hungry.
Amalya is tidy and clean! She uses her magic to clean what she can't by hand.
Social
Amalya uses a lot of body language, even if she doesn't realize it. She talks with her hands usually, or acts things out when she is telling a story.
History
Amalya became good friends with Sparkly when she suddenly appeared and was very interested in Alan's jingling coin purse. She really liked the sound of coins in a purse and would mimic the sounds of everything she heard. Eventually, she joined Amalya, Alan, and Cranel on their travels, being very particular about shiny, sparkly, and twinkly things, collecting them for herself! Therefore, she was named Sparkly Twinkly by Amalya and has since been together as a party.
Ally/Friend...? (Important)
History
To Amalya, Alan was a poor, hungry, talented man in need whom she fed and took care of. He eventually ended up traveling with her and they became friends and allies on their travels together, eventually with Sparkly and Alan's apprentice, Cranel. Lately she's discovered she has something called the "love sickness" towards Alan. She's not sure how to handle this or what to do about it, but she's doing her best!
To Alan, Amalya is a free meal ticket. She feeds him and she used to work in taverns which allowed him to get more drinks from her hard work, occasionally playing music and visiting local brothels. He was never interested in her for anything else besides the perks of free food and drink. However, since coming through the portal, he's recently come across the fact that this Halfling was quite a shapely woman hidden under his nose this entire time...
