Topaz

Topaz

## Description

Topaz in her two-legged form appears as a very attractive elf with dark red hair and glowing golden eyes. She stands about 5 ft, 5 inches, her curvaceous form usually clad in a mixture of cloth and leather in shades of greens, golds or purples. Her facial features have a slight fox like cast, a hint of impish humor often showing plainly.

### Armor

She will usually be seen in some sort of leather armor, with metal kept to a minimum.

### Arms

A very well made bow and a set of very high quality daggers

## History

Topaz always had one goal in life, to be a protector of nature. She set on her path as a ranger at a young age, training with her mother's moon elven family on the High Forest. Eventually she was allowed to become part of a druid's circle as one of its guardians. Life for her was perfect, as she enjoyed the company of the druids, her fellow guardians and the many animals. What she was blissfully unaware of was the betrayal to come. A dark sect of druids was working to take over the circle and did so from the inside. A druid whom she loved and trusted set the stage for a brutal take over. A battle between the to sects was quick and brutal leaving most of the circle's druids slaughtered and the guardians demoralized. A choice of banishment or death was offered, though Topaz herself was not given a choice. She does not know if her former lover pushed her through to portal out of guilt or as a further betrayal. But she found herself in the strange land of Vanwamire, at least skilled enough to survive, but mourning her circle and dwelling on her failure to protect it.

### Major Flaw/Flaws:

Sometimes prone to distractions when bored.

## Personality

Topaz is one of those difficult sorts that is fine with being a loner until she craves interaction. When feeling social, she tries to be polite and considerate, but her sense of fun and mischief gets in the way of that at times. If she offers true friendship and it is accepted, she is loyal to a fault, though she will tell you plainly if she thinks you are wrong about something. She tends to be rather direct as she finds it impossible to truly lie.

### Beliefs

Topaz is a ranger of Mielikki, sworn to try and protect nature as much as she can. She tends to favor animals more than two-leggers but she endeavors to be fair to most. At the moment, if one appears trustworthy, she will give benefit of doubt. But due to past betrayals, she does not trust the judgements of her own heart.

### Quirks

A baby animal in need will get her instant attention and devotion. At times her need for a little mischief will become too much.

### Relationships

Pearl- " She bakes like a wee halfling goddess and she has allowed me to follow my path by buying what I cannot use. She is a valued friend"

Guinevere- " A true lady, perhaps one of the better humans I have met. I think we are becoming friends"

Kiera- " Who would have thought I would encounter another faetouched. It does feel like having family ties and she is so very fae. I find myself already affectionate towards her."

Magnus- " Why? Just...why? I sense a connection. But in spite of how he looks at me, he seems to want nothing to do with me. He is confusing and frustrating...and rude. So...why does his hiding behind that mask irritate me so? Right, because I am a damn fool when it comes to wounded ones"
