Vivianne Alia Shrusrado

Vivianne, like most elves, is tall and slender. Her eyes are a light bluish-green hidden behind decorative glasses. A intense feeling of physical frailty exudes from her. Her naturally wavy hair flows down to the small of her back.

The normal clothing she wears is a form-fitting suit with fingerless gloves under a shoulder cape with her family crest on a shoulder, all of fitting quality for a noble of her station. Other than the small bag of coin she keeps on her at all times, she holds very little wealth on her person.

## History

Born late into the Grand Campaign (war between Taldor and Qadria, lasted from 4079 - 4603 AR), she was often sent between the family manor in the mountains near the border of Qadria and the one in the ivy district of Absalom via teleportation. During one of the trips between the two, something went wrong, exposing her unguarded and unprepared mind to the Astral plane, causing her hair to be turned white. It was not until many years later that the true effects of such a experience would of been revealed.

Several decades after that accident, her home was occupied by a portion of the Qadrian army, spellcasters in the occupying forces preventing the nobles from leaving via teleportation. in the time that it was occupied, Vivianne experimented in secret, learning how to utilize her emerging psionic ability. Several years after it was taken over, a portion of the Taldan army came to clear the occupiers from their borders, Vivianne, knowing that this was her best chance to throw the Qadrians out, aided them from the inside by assaulting the minds of lone soldiers and utilizing ectoplasmic illusions to distract the occupiers, to the point her body began cannibalizing itself to maintain the use of her power.

After her aiding of the Taldan army to reclaim the region, Vivianne went on to serve in the same unit she helped with her town, slowly learning how to manifest her powers in more ways than she had to figure out on her own. Surviving over thirty years of war taught her many lessons, some small, and some large.

When the war ended, uncaring about local politics, Vivianne began the search for magical knowledge she could use, lasting until she was 200 years old (approx. 52 years). Once she returned from her search, she began taking a focus on the economic side of her house, steadily expanding her family's shipping company until it was a major until it held warehouses in almost every city accessible through the inner sea as well as some outside of it.

## Ambitions

Vivianne's main ambition is acquiring as much knowledge and prestige as possible (both personal and for her house) to raise both to greatness. A secondary goal of hers is to reclaim a family heirloom that was stolen before the war and capture the thieves who took it (if they are still alive).

## House Shrusrado

When the elves returned to Golarion in the early 2600's, the Shrusrado family settled in the hilly southern regions of taldor, far away from any nearby human settlements but also far from any elven cities. Largely self sufficient, they allowed the humans that eventually came to settle the land settle nearby, kept away but close enough members of the family occasionally visited the city when under spells to disguise their appearance. Eventually throughout the generations the family and the humans became much closer together, they integrated into the expanding nation of Taldor peacefully, eventually being raised into a noble house overseeing a the town and a small portion of the road network surrounding the town.

In the recent time before the war they began a shipping company that, while not losing money, it was not bringing in any large rewards either. Eventually after the war, the woman known as Vivianne grew the company until it was a major player in the area
