Asha de Varley

'How far are you willing to go?' - UnknownLiéutenant, later Commandre Asha de Varley was a Vortais fire genasi and clockwork sorcerer.
Asha was born to Evangeline and Clairmont de Varley of the Vortic Mercatorium. A family of minor status, though status nonetheless, it was a surprise to everyone when she came out literally on fire. The flames could not be quelled, nor could her rather unruly spirit, and as such her parents paid for some sort of magical procedure to be done to try and tame her when she was a few years old. This left her with magic drawn from a plane of order rather than fire, and Asha would struggle with this for most of her adolescence. 
Leaving home as soon as she turned 18, Asha wandered around to her own whims, getting herself involved with groups and opportunities of varying morality until she crossed paths with Berthielot Átir. She was one of his best agents - she always got stellar results, but with messy methods that often cost Átir a lot of money in damage control. Despite this, she was too good for him to lose. 
She ended up in Halcyon in 1567, watching Henri Angier's show Shock and Awe, until something went wrong and Angier was found murdered. Asha joined forces with several others to form The NVÇV and investigate the event. 
She was smart, witty and friendly, joking around but being on the ball with some investigations, and even allowing her friends to toast marshmallows on her hair. She was very clever though, secretly helping the investigation in the favour of the Vortics not maliciously, but to protect Isa. She succeeded, and in doing so ended up convincing J. Arnu Waldenstromm and Malloy to work under the shelter of the Vortais as scientists to develop a cleaner, safer version of the lightning machine.
