Annabelle Mordred

*"Tailoring pre-made tools to solve prevalent problems, now that is the essence of wizardry."*

**Annabelle Mordred** nicknamed **Anna** is a powerful wizard allied but not yet a member of the Adventurer's Guild. She is based in Phandalin, currently living in Keiran Lursit's old room and can often be found either conducting arcane experiments by The Pool or reading on magical theories in the Phandalin Library.

## Appearance

Annabelle is quite a tall (6'2") kalashtar woman. She has fair skin, fiery red hair, and vibrant orange eyes with grey irises. Wearing a simple red dress and black heeled boots wherever she goes.

Annabelle's facial expression usually doesn't go beyond a meager blank stare.

## Personality

Annabelle might initially come off as quite cold and unforgiving, with her judgmental gaze sweeping over the faces she sees and rooms she walks through. But she is a caring person at heart and loves conversing with others, adoring a good story or detail about adventurer's times in the field. She especially enjoys talking about the arcane, having an incredibly in depth knowledge about the way in which the weave interacts with the world, happily divulging techniques and tips for anyone that can prove they're worthy of her help. Nothing makes her happier than talking with someone about a genuine interest of theirs, passion for careers and research is one of the few things that makes her smile.

She despises pervasive uses of magic, often going out of her way to protect others that fall victim to any sort of invasive arcane procedures. Even willing to risk her own health to keep others safe from evil magics, for she knows better than anyone, how effective they are.

## History

### Backstory

Annabelle Mordred's true origins are shrouded in mystery.

### AG History

After being rescued from a castle in the dark northern regions of Faerûn, Anna was a broken mess for weeks, barely able to move, afflicted with immense chronic pain from her earlier ordeal, muttering mad whispers in gibberish. Gradually she began to recover, relearning how to walk, slowly regaining her sanity to the point where she was confident enough to visit the other locations in Phandalin. Initially immensely suspicious and shy of everyone, she came to learn that the people here weren't so bad after all, and now helps the guild wherever she can.

## Relationships

### Keiran Lursit

Keiran is a close friend of Anna's and was a member of the party that retrieved her from a certain Death Knight's castle, offering her lodgings and buying her the red dress she now wears. She thoroughly enjoys it when they speak, admiring the paladin's zeal and willpower, ready to assist him whenever possible, he did save her life after all.

### Maple

Maple is Anna's closest friend, they both share many interests and she admires the eladrin's drive.

### Jysrana

Jysrana is a friend of Anna's that she has spent quite a lot of time practicing magic with, teaching her the proper usage of Counterspell as well as about the nature of Jysrana's magic in general.

### Amelie

Amelie is a friend of Anna's that she enjoys spending time and practicing magic with. The woman spurred Anna's determination for research on magical disease and she is persistent on helping the genasi deal with or lessen her uncontrollable affinity with fire.
