Brigitta

Brigitta was a Fire Genasi Wizard that was among the first to explore the frontiers of Eskarya. 
== Background ==
Boats have proven to be a bit of a mixed bag for Brigitta. Born to a large family of fisherfolk upon the Moonshae Isle of Alaron, she was eager to assist where she could - tending to broken nets, preparing the most recent catch ready for sale at market. Within time she too ventured aboard the pair of fishing skiffs her family owned, offering further help as she could. 
This would ultimately prove to be her folly, when pirates bound from the Korinn Archipelago descended upon the cove in which they checked their lobster and crab traps. Finding her heritage to be a curious thing - a being with flaming eyes that flared with anguish as they raided her family’s boats - they decided to also steal her away. In her first weeks as a captive, she moved to spite them little and often. After a cruel prank to see if her flame would be extinguished when doused in frigid salt water, she shaved her head bald, plunging the clippers into the arm of the corsair that attempted to stop her. Things improved from that point, and whilst they did not truly dote upon her, she found herself considered the unofficial mascot of the crew - the girl with a fiery temper and gaze. They continued their raiding naturally, but Brigitta would now have second choice of the spoils, after the Pirate Captain himself. One such prize she claimed with a curious book exuded an odd aura - and so began her path into the arcane. Years passed as she slowly mastered the few secrets within, a handful of other teachings coming her way during her time as a ward. 
On one particularly stormy night, the Dovekie was ravaged by seemingly unending torrential downpours, waves reaching near as high skyward as the central mast and winds that snapped and tore at the ropes and sails. Lurching back and forth, Brigitta was tossed overboard, clutching desperately to a stray piece of wreckage as the ship that had been her home disappeared into the dark. Somehow, by a miracle divine or otherwise, she found herself washed ashore on an unfamiliar land, a town visible in the distance. 
In doing so, she found herself upon Eskarya.
