Mojarósa

Mojarósa (Gillihís 27, 1242? - undetermined) was a powerful mistress mage enchanter of Milspar as of 1742. Her preferred formal title (which mixed the languages of Thisslam and Trynsern), was Mistress Magus Mojarósa de Maestros Magos de Milspar de Millisymph (The name "Mojarósa" literally meant "pink magic"). She was known as a wise and usually diplomatically charismatic woman who was also an accomplished bard. She was also known for being the size of an average four-year-old human girl. (She was a player character created and played by Alden Loveshade in the Best of Both Worlds, Citadel's Shadow II, Zamora, and other campaigns).
==Early life==
Her background was subject to sometimes wild conjecture. Some suspected she came from another world, while others whispered that she was a transformed being. Some even claimed Mojarósa was a halfling, although she looked more like a human child. Some of the wilder stories made her the illegitimate daughter of the sorcerer Sara Winter of Kasteban and a halfling; the human bookish bard Marsilla D'uvoinne by the human ninja Gamon du Maudit, both of Jartapur; or even Princess Imperial Alexandria and the Trynser City gnome Grandmaster Alchemist Donghai Ping, then of the city of Fulmando in Millisymph. But these were likely absurd.
Some skeptics suspected the claims about Mojarósa were spread by the bard herself. A more likely story was that she was raised in Hogar de Santa Qut infantil (The Children's Home of St. Qut) in Fulmando, Millisymph. However, it was also possible she was altered or created by magic and alchemy and was raised at St. Bassard's School and Home for Disadvantaged Youth in Trynser City.
Her age was unknown; it had been reported she variously gave her age as anywhere from 12 to 1200. However, her 500th birthday party was announced for Gillihís 27, 1742. (There was some debate, however, as to whether this indicated her actual 500th birthday or just her 500th birthday party).
== Trynser-Zazimar War ==
What was known was that she played a significant part in the Trynsern-Zazimar War. While she was credited with helping the military of the Empire of Trynser, some believed she was more importantly involved in the sudden armistice that ended the war (and in helping Millisymph maintain its neutrality). She has been seen with Princess Imperial Alexandria and Duque Miguel Amorando, both of whom she allegedly advised. She was fully fluent in a number of languages which she used in diplomacy. She was also said to be a Bearer of the Globus Cruciger autem Dryas.
== Activities and Groups ==
While she often traveled, she was perhaps most often found in the Millisymph port city of Milspar which was her primary home. She had an alchemical lab named El laboratorio alquímico de Mojarósa, and an inn, El mesón de la rosa y el cangrejo, in Milspar. Secondarily, she could be found in the Millisymph city of Fulmando or in the capital of the Empire of Trynser, Trynser City. She was a grandmistress alchemist of Milspar's Las Alquimistas de la mariposa del arco iris and a mistress mage of Gremio de profesores mágico de Milspar. She was an associate mage of El consorcio degr los magos de Fulmando, the consortium that covered all legally-practicing mages in Fulmando, and of two of Trynser City's wealthiest and most powerful mages guilds, the Masters of the Glass Tower of Old Palace Ward and the Most Magnificent Society of Magi and Arcanists of Uphill Ward.
She was known for helping at hospitals and orphanages including Hogar de Santa Qut infantil in Fulmando and in Milspar, Royal Kasteban Academy for Orphans in Kasteban, and St. Bassard's School and Home for Disadvantaged Youth in Trynser City. She was sometimes a guest lecturer at El ingenio de la Universidad de la luz de las estrellas, and often stayed at El mesón de la rana rosa (Inn of the Pink Frog), which she owned, and was a frequent visitor to the famed library La biblioteca de Lahahana la loca. While in Trynser City, she often visited Tucquew's Cabaret and usually stayed at Twelve Rose Inn (which she owned) both in the Uphill Ward, although before 1742 she frequently stayed at the Imperial Grand Hotel in the Golden Quarter Ward. She also frequented the capital cities of Jartapur, Kasteban, and Wegiden. When in Kasteban, when not helping at hospitals or orphanages she could be found guest teaching at the Hexadane Academy of Wizardry or drinking at the bar Cosmo's.
While she was often elsewhere, she was often in Trynser City for the Festival of Leathane, Grand Carnival, and Princess Imperial Alexandria Galderon's birthday; in Fulmando for Festival de los locos and Día de Muertos; and in Milspar for Nodia and Yolin.
==Enchantments==
Mojarósa had enchanted or helped enchant some powerful and prominent items. These often had a rose and, as with her spells, some element of pink. She seemed most often to work with the Milspar armorer (primarily swords) Jaqualin Dedos de Fuego, Fulmando artificer and jeweler Domrai of Mu, and Trynser City armorer (primarily armor) Osbourne Milborn.
While a complete list of her enchantments was not available, some of her more significant included La espada de Miguel Amorando (Sword of Miguel Amorando, made by Jaqualin) and a pink rose ring (made by Domrai), both belonging to Duque Miguel Amorando, Duke of Fulmando who came from Milspar; sets of two pink carved roses serving as doorknobs to St. Bassard's School and Home for Disadvantaged Youth, El mesón de la rosa y el cangrejo, El mesón de la rana rosa, and Twelve Rose Inn (all of which appeared at the New Year's Festival but in different years); and her own pink-diamond-tipped staff El Bastón de Mojarósa. There was a rumor that she cast an enchantment on Cosmo's, but this was not verified.
==Lexie’s Secret Little Room==
While she was praised for her magic, diplomacy, and bardic skills and was usually well liked, she was portrayed differently in a pre-1742 volume of the spurious series Lexie’s Secret Little Room. This specious book not only claimed she was the illegitimate daughter of Princess Imperial Alexandria and Donghai Ping, it said she was ruthless. In the chapter in which she appeared, she sweetly and coyly led youths and even children into her alchemical laboratory where she recharged the alchemical substance liquid phlogiston with the life force of her drowned victims.
==Appearance==
Mojarósa was said to be exactly 100 cm tall (3 ft 3 1/3 in) and weighing about 15.5 kg (36 lbs.). She had light skin (skin type ii), green eyes, and long curly red hair. (The red hair was probably where the rumor came that she was a child of the red-headed Marsilla, who was somewhat small, or Sara). She was considered beautiful in a childlike way. She often dressed in pink, and it was not uncommon for her to have a pink ribbon or lace or even a pink rose in her hair. She often carried El Bastón de Mojarósa, a staff or walking stick that was much taller than her and that featured a pink diamond at its tip.Category:Citadel's Shadow II
