Matthias Turner

Phea Turner - Older sister

## History

Matthias was the second child of Thaddeus and Velora. His father was a skilled physician and his mother was, for lack of a better word a witch; she used to live deep in the forests near Flaria but after several amusing and chance encounters with Thaddeus, Velora grew attached to him.The two couldn’t stand to be apart and eventually moved to Flaria to start a family. Matthias and his older sister Phea were both taught the importance of non-magical medicine from their father, and both were taught how to control their magical gifts by Velora.

Their life was uneventful for so long before the rebellion but like many of Flarias citizens, they stayed neutral, not wanting to be caught up in the turmoil. Once Solaris retook Flaria, Matthias’ parents had enough, and moved to Fort Fair Maiden to get away from the conflict. Despite their protests he was adamant in wanting to stay; between the martial law from Solaris and the hidden dealings of the Rebels, Flaria was going to need a trained healer to help those in need.

## Mother's Lessons

Velora made sure to properly teach Matthias and his sister magic and how to draw power from the natural world. She quickly noticed that he had a gift, and that magic flowed through him easily. No matter how hard she tried to hide it, she favored Matthias and paid more attention to him during their lessons. He had a gift for plant manipulation and grasped Life magic easily. Phea tried her best but she couldn’t keep up with her younger brother's talent. Matthias didn’t realize he was a natural, he just knew that the harder he tried the more it made his mother smile.

## Phea’s Departure

Phea loved her baby brother dearly but to see what would take her a year to master only took him a month, ate at her. She soon stopped attending her lessons and spent more and more time away from home, growing colder towards Matthias until one day, she signed a contract to join a crew on a merchant vessel and left for good. She left a note saying goodbye, which caused Velora to blame herself, and left Matthias devastated.

## Appearance

Matthias is a very effeminate human male with a lithe form. His skin is a coffee brown and he has copper eyes. He has long bluish black hair that's usually coiled into an intricate braid that hangs just over his shoulder and is tied off with a simple ribbon.

## Personality

Matthias is a very nervous individual always worried if he is being a burden to others or causing some form of inconvenience. Often apologizing excessively for the smallest mistakes even when they were out of his control. He is very polite, considerate of others, always tries to put someone else's needs before his own, and is a bit of a workaholic.

## Aspirations

Matthias hopes to one day find his sister, wherever she may be and try to repair the bridge between them. He still doesn’t understand why she left and wants her to know that he still loves her.

## Relationships

* **Phea:** Matthias worries about her even though it's been several years since he’s last seen her. He hopes one day he can talk to her and find out why she left.

* **Talia:** A brave and strong warrior he met during the last strike against the empire. They have grown close and she's one of the few people to coax him out of his nervous shell.
