Priestess Morienne Nyssara
Priestess Morienne Nyssara (a.k.a. Mor)
Morienne is a demi-god, born from a love affair between Nyxara and a human painter who was particularly inspired by his dreams.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Morienne is small and petite with soft curves over hard muscle. She is small enough to be underestimated but is surprisingly quick. For several years, her study has been almost primarily on magic, so her combat skills are a bit less refined. She is fit, but softer than someone who trains daily, belying her dedication to her book studies and magic.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Morienne grew up with just her father, a very popular painter. Her mother was a goddess after all and had her own duties and responsibilities plus an entire other family. Morienne doesn't remember much about her mother. Her father told her fantastic stories and always made Nyxara seem perfect and ethereal. As the daughter of an artist, Morienne was used to traveling, as her father was always looking for locations that seemed to match his dreams - some of which seemed to be portents of historical events, both good and bad.
As Morienne grew older, so did her magical affinity. Eventually she traveled to Eithwyn to become a priestess of Nyxara, in accordance with her abilities and her heritage. Due to her divine blood, she has a strong connection to the dream world, able to manipulate and create dreams as well as traverse them. Morienne has never had to work hard for her magic - it has always been at her fingertips to do exactly what she's wanted. Though, in addition to magic, she studied combat as well, becoming skilled at wielding daggers and manipulating threads of power. The skills of a Dreamweaver Cleric came easily to her. She was planning on choosing a specialty - Starlit Oracle or Moonveil Seer - when she received a letter that her father had died on one of his quests.
Morienne was devastated and locked herself in a room for several days before leaving her place in the order.
Sexuality
Morienne has always been fairly fluid and open with her sexuality. She has frequent casual and brief attachments with both men and women, though feels free to come and go as she pleases in most relationships. She is not much for formal relationships or courtships, though is comfortable with romance. In her time outside of the order, she has never been afraid to use her wiles for her personal gain.
For those who have been with her, some might say she is scared of a certain level of attachment, preferring to keep things casual as a form of self-preservation.
Education
Before the order, Morienne's education was free form and informal. Like her father, she has a skill in visual arts, though with pen and paper instead of paint. She mostly drew portraits and real-life depictions, staying away from trying to capture her own dreams. Once she arrived at the order, her education was greatly expanded.
