What you should know about me:
"There is absolutely nothing special about me, child. I am but a humble servant of the god Morrow; and with his infinate wisdom and guidance I am just grateful to be able to spread his words throughout the lands of Immoren."
"I was raised as a young girl by my mother in a small town outside of Ceryl until the age of 10. Due to an unfortunate and rare disease, she grew ill and was taken from us very quickly after being diagnosed with the condition. Being unable to help her in any way, I was stricken with grief at losing her, and vowed to dedicate my life to the healing arts in order to save others from the pain and anguish I felt after her abrupt passing. My father, who was more or less permanently assigned to the Fraternity of Gunmages in Ceryl, was forced to take me in and care for me. I use the word 'forced' not so much because he did not want me; but because the Academy did not typically allow children under the age of 15 inside their halls. It was only later that I realized the reason the Grand Headmaster had made the allowance for my father to bring me in was due to a another child they had on premise whom they referred to as 'The Magnus." It turned out to be a boy my age; and despite the ulterior motives of the Academy, we had become inseparable friends almost immediately. To this very day, he is my closest and most trusted ally and supporter in everything I do. He is and forever will be my brother."
"During my time at the Academy, there was attached to the main building a small Church of Morrow with a wondrously gifted Priest named Father Jethro. He took me under his wing and guided me in the teachings of Morrow. Being a 'gifted' Human like my father, I was able to learn the ways of magic under the tutelage of Father Jethro, and went on to become a Priestess of Church. What many people do not know about me is that in the early mornings after prayer sessions and before my studies began, I would take swordplay lessons from the small church's handmaiden. Her name was Alina, and she was a beautiful woman of Idrian descent. Every day I would go to her and she would teach me the ways of sword-fighting she referred to as 'The Sand Dance". It is a talent I try to keep up with, but share with very few, as I rarely have reason to use it."

Role in the Party:
Well, there are normally five of us. Six when an esteemed guest joins us. Sometimes there's four of us; when I am called away on church business. But normally it's five of us. My role in the group is primarily served as support spellcaster and triage care for the injured. I am also rather knowledgeable as it relates to many of the magical-related artifacts we uncover. My knowledge of 'Mechanika' is still somewhat limited compared to someone like Master Kaar, but I do try to lend a hand where I can. I have some skill in hand-to-hand combat as well, but the group is not typically in need of such support with the likes of Mistress Selene and my brother around."
