Luna Nightwalker

Luna Nightwalker is a relatively young elf, and a self-styled scholar. She seeked knowledge in the pursuit of helping others - trying to heal body and soul. She's even seek out forbidden knowledge, if it helps her to fulfill her true goal of healing another of an ailment caused by this forbidden knowledge.

## Description

Standing at 168 cm tall, she is rahter tall for a typical female, but still at the lower end for humans. She has a rather unusual haircolor, even for Elves, wearing her blue hair in a long open style.

She's wearing dark blue, almost black robes, and usually has a set of turqoise eyes.

## Characteristics

She's a kind-hearted being, often trying to solve conflicts with a talk rather than battle. She tries to be diplomatic, but if pushed too far might get angry and unleash her full magic potential.

Still she has a strong sense of morality and will never stoop so low as to kill an innocent person.

## Background

Luna's been born and raised in the Emerald City, the sole daughter to the Nightwalker clan, a minor but influential noble house in the Emerald City. She's never seen her mother, and has been raised by her father from birth.

From when she was small, she has a strange gift, one that allowed her to use her own magic more efficiently to heal, though often times it was accompanied by a gruesome scene, shown in shadows, that showed how she failed and the one that was healed would have suffered a bad fate.

That made people wary of her presence, and even her skills, some wondering if the young girl had made a pact with some evil force. Maybe that was even why her mother had disappeared? Her father did his best to educate her in courtly manners and tried to force her not to use that strange skill, but she just never could completely give up on it.

It gave her an intimidating presence in court, but she never really learned the social ways and can sometimes be easily swayed with the right arguments.

### Marriage

Growing up into a fine lady, she one day found someone that accepted her as she was, and she came to fall in love with. The Elf Arturo was someone she could be herself with, and the few years they were together, they had built a very deep relationship.

Then one day she returned home to find her lover dead on the floor. Blood everywhere, and something within her broke.

### The Taboo

Researching ways to get her love back, she turned to forbidden lore, like necromancy and blood magic. Not satisfied with the results she would get, she turned to something else, trying to expand on her own strange ability. Researching the nature of her skill and ley lines, she climbed one of the landmarks of the city, the central tower of the churches that reached up to the ley lines there.

Pulling on the magic, she prepared and conducted a complex ritural. Waking several hours later, with no change to Arturo's life, she's been put on trial for interfering in the domain of a goddess, and was banned from the city, weakening the house of Nightwalker even further. In addition all her memories of the event and of Arturo had been erased and she only recently regained many of them. Nothing of what happened during the ritural though.

Since then, before coming to Saundred, she has had her memories wiped a few times, as they had a tendenc to return on their own.

## Quirks

One of her eyes turns purple at times of stress or when she needs emotional support. It hints to another entity being within her mind.
