Thread: Korvosan Chaos - Characters

Meridrahne See more Meri for short was a somewhat happy child, her father took her to the church of Shelyn every week to listen to the priests debate on the nature of beauty in the universe and the meaning of love, Meri took there words well - but occassionally missed the deeper meaning. Her fathers only hope was that she could have a beautiful soul like her mother rather than one like his - something confusing to the young girl as while her mother was a decent person she seemed to care much less for people outside her immediate family than her father did, and the priests seemed to favour the second over the first. Still she attended her classes with other neighbourhood children, played with them normally, and did her chores - all in all she was a decent kid left to her fathers care as her mother dealt with the core business with her family, the only true concern her parents had was her nightmares - a bleak place where she was hunted was all she truely remembered from them, but it was enough to leave the girl shaken, and her father to pray harder. It wasn't until she hit puberty that her powers developed first minor tricks that her father explained to her were in her blood and that she should avoid using - but that she need not worry. However a rebellious streak in her formed and she did draw upon them, initally just making lights around her - but the more she pushed herself more she began to tap into other powers. Suddenly able to focus on cracked genstones and damages broached and repair them, or read the scrolls that people sometimes left into the shop, her father was shocked and upset but her mother stepped in and while she doesn't know what was said she was sent off to the Acadamae for evaluation and partial training at the age of sixteen. Where there she met Larsen Pike a fellow student a bit older than herself, and who displayed an interest in her in a way that few had before other than some kids in her neighbourhood who were a bit intimated by her and her mothers family, Larsen was different and somewhat intriguing to the young woman and they studied togerher frequently often testing magic around each other, and debating on the nature of things - and forming what looked like it might be a relationship but the closer they grew together and the more he touched her and kissed her the less she felt about that aspect of the relationship and so but a stop to it rather then lead him on, she took to Scribing Scrolls as a means of expanding her knowledge of magic generally. Thier course was only a year and while she was offered a position to learn to be a real wizard rather then merely a sorcerer she refused on financial grounds - simply put she could not afford to without her parents, and they would struggle to have made the funds. But also her mother had plans now that her daughter was older and skilled. They met her grandfather who and he spoke to her mother about where she should fit and what she would have to do, where her mother was a shrewd business woman and had married to a good craftsman the option for magical assistance was something the family wanted to exploit - but they would need to move cautiously to avoid headache, as such Meridrahne was instructed to estiblish herself as a player in the town - who she choose to do so was up to her and the family would offer limited support depending on what she brought to them. Currently she still doesn't know what all that means but she has began to use her powers to plant thought into the minds of key individuals when she feels she can get away with it unnoticed, thereby increasing business for her parents and discouraging protection rackets. She adopts a mindset of providing 10 of any personal earnings to her family and a seperate 10 to the church of Shelyn - her father is glad to see that but he worries for her terribly at times she has noticed and it is not directed towards her mothers family or what she is engaged in, but when questions about it he is oddly silent. Recently an elf named Malistra entered the shop and after speaking for a few moments they hit it off enought for Meri to accept showing her around town - meeting an odd woman named Mist at times in Malistra's company, and when she was asked about the older history of the place and a desire to explore such she contacted Larsen to introduce them.
