Ironfist, Galanodel
Youngest of 5 children, Naivara had been allowed to delay everything - delay starting school, delay apprenticeship, delay paying her bills, delay growing up. This meant that she had plenty of time to think and plan what her next move was going to be - and she used that to her advantage. Naivara had wanted to learn magic since before she could speak. Naivara watched each of her siblings choose an apprenticeship within a magic school, and couldn’t wait for her turn to come – except that she had no innate magic ability. None at all. So she delayed. She pretended to be immature. She pretended to be studious. She pretended to not care. And then one day, she could delay no longer. So she chose an apprenticeship in service to Selune, goddess of the moon, of knowledge, and of life. And there she served for twenty years. And on the seventh evening of her twentieth year of serving, as she offered a prayer to Selune as the waxing crescent moon rose, and she was granted the gift of a spell – the ability to create light.

She knew at once on that day that her time of delaying must come to an end. So she shortly thereafter announced her desire to travel. Unfortunately for Naivara, her secret love-interest also announced their desire to travel; the two of them were granted the rights and authority to travel together; and it was soon obvious the attraction was mutual. It was unfortunate for her because Hiro, who was brilliantly gifted in magic, was drow – and Naivara’s family would have none of the relationship. But she had delayed enough. So she cut ties with her family and chose her own way. She chose the way of magic, of knowledge, and of life.

Naivara learned a great deal of magic and love from Hiro. After they had travelled together three and a half years, the temple called them back. Hiro, responsible and committed, answered. Naivara did not wish to return; it was a place that she had never wanted to be in the first place, and she had another reason for wishing to continue to travel. And so she turned the other way and continued her adventure journey. Naivara and Hiro continue their relationship, but at a distance, by correspondence and messages, by rare meetings in public places; and no longer do they relate as a learner and a teacher, but as a faithful acolyte and apostate. That was sixteen years ago. Naivara has continued to travel, to learn, and worship the rising moon; Selune gives her guidance, courage, and light in dark times.

When travelling with Hiro, Naivara heard some stories of Selune that she had not heard at the temple, and she began to be more curious about the artifacts and relics mentioned in the stories. Desiring to track some of them down was part of the reason she did not wish to return to the life of acolyte, and she began to seek adventuring, meeting people of various skills and experiences, who had travelled far and wide and also told stories of relics both ancient and fabled.

As a lone elf, who knew love and loss, family and famine, belonging and believing, Naivara is compassionate. As one formally considered an apostate, and yet now more faithful to the divine ways than ever before, she is quite tolerant of other paths and other religions, knowing that inner faith is not easily judged by those in religious authority. Her young life, at nearly 200 years, has been full of twists and turns, challenges and changes; she believes these are guided by gods, who have more in store for the world if only all creatures would seek and celebrate the changes. Her obsession for magic, for knowledge, and for success means that she is creative in her approach, often playing the long game and never giving up her greater dream to learn all the magic she can, by whatever means she can.

This is Naivara Galanodel.

Hullo! Sorry it took a bit.

Character Sheet:

Nothing catches my eye as needing fixing (but wow did you get some good stats for a wizard!) -- only thing I'd say is you get to also roll 1d10 in the #dice channel for extra starting funds beyond the background.

Hopefully we can get you into a party shortly! If you have any questions or still wish to change something, feel free to tag me ( Abrahms Abrahms ) in the discord server!
