sneakyonfoota
flightless bird
Appearance: Human girl; average height for her age and average weight, being well-fed, yet active. She has straight, titian hair styled into a simple center-part bob that frames her heart-shaped face. Her ruddy complexion is freckled beneath her eyes and across the bridge of her fine nose.
She sports a pair of bifocal spectacles, though they are not for corrective wear but for reading and to assist in the detection of arcane sources (Spectacles of Detect Magic). They also provide some anti-glare protection.
Her attire is of simple hempen earthtones with a practical, ascetic flair. She wears a traveler's mantle and wears a hat shaped like a drooping leaf. A leather belt lined with pouches hangs on her hips, and a leather case with a strap worn across her chest carries her precious books. A small haversack is worn opposite to it.
Name: Marilyn Gale
Age: 15
Location: Lamordia
Class/Weapon: "Magic Shop" Witch, Apprentice; Shillelagh, used as her spell focus and improvised melee weapon for self-defense
Personality: To an observer, Marilyn seems sullen and disinterested in her surroundings. When she isn't reading, she is looking away from people or concerning herself with things. Her interactions are quiet, polite and to the point. She is obedient when ordered and silently fulfills requests when asked nicely. She seems so very neutral to everyone and everything around her, with the exception being to animals and fae, to whom she is rather open and sociable.
History: Marilyn hasn't an illustrious nor detailed history to relate. She was born and raised by her parents in Lamordia and went to a mundane school (Mission House Grammar School). When Marilyn's arcane talent surfaced at age nine her parents encouraged her to pursue it, as Marilyn herself had not voiced any apparent interest in her own future. It was only due to her parents' initiative that at age ten she was appraised by an assessor of the Arcane Order, and then was shipped off to Anorgath to attend Arkady Junior Collegiate for four years. Marilyn was then assigned to Magister Fearghas Dryden in Porzul for her apprenticeship studies at his workshop. After studying under Dryden for less than a year, Marilyn was abruptly pushed out into the world for "distance learning," as her master put it, with the conceit that it was an opportunity to better understand magic beyond memorized formulas and books.
With a bare allowance of pocket money provided by the Arcane Order via Dryden, Marilyn was forced to rely on fulfilling services for clients to survive and broaden her experience. She is expected to perform Sendings at regular intervals to report her progress to Dryden.
