For her, the struggle is real, but not her own. Born of two sorcerer parents into an affluent noble family, she left her stable life behind after a short-lived tragic romance with a lowborn wizard. Although not a witch, and infact very weak due to her neurological condition, she’s taken it upon herself to spearhead the revolution for equality on shaar, and devoted her entire life to it. After years of debating and studying among the magic elite she rose to become a noted public speaker and writer, and when her speeches took on a distinct note of disdain for the traditional social structure on shaar she went underground, becoming a blacklisted name in academia, but a household name for the oppressed masses. Drawing crowds of followers and idealists to her cause she realized she had become a symbol of hope and change.
Barely into her thirties she was recognized as one of the key figures of global revolution, and began meeting with other infamous leaders and intellectuals who opposed the magic elite. After brutal attacks on her students and several attempts on her life she fled for one of the few politically neutral nations for asylum. In Krago’Shaar, she rose in the ranks of the revolutionaries, who still planned their uprising in exile. Ten years after her first speech about equality in front of a crowd of students in Blackheart, she finally returned to Greater Shaar upon the invitation of the president of Xeri’Shaar, a fragile egalitarian republic on the verge of collapse.
Her own plans were also coming to fruition and while being entrusted with a fragile amnesiac initially seemed a great inconvenience, she’s quick to realizing how her strange new acquaintances may forward her cause on Shaar. Well educated and an expert negotiator, she’s known to use disguise, deception, and bluff to single handedly infiltrate and tear down the establishment among the kingdoms of greater Shaar. Labeled an anarchist terrorist by countless governments, she travels light, and alone, intending to sow the seeds rebellion wherever she goes before enacting her master plan to change the world.
It’s unclear how she attained such a masterful and manipulative personality, but her vast knowledge and wisdom are patiently extended her to immediate circle of...lets call them friends... and they often come to her in times of need, seeing as she’s already taken control by default anyway. I want her character to resemble one of the omniscient Shakespearean mentors, avoiding physical conflict through wit, and hiding her weakness behind jest and wry confidence. She may even ramble at times but has a very clever solution to most situations and a knack for schemes and control.
