Bri

Name: Jentaria (Jen)

Age: 25 (m03/d31)

Position: Master Mage

Gifts/Focus: Mage Gift/Obsidian, Average Dreamspeech

Appearance: She is tall, standing 6'2 and very thin due to a very active metabolism. She has medium length very curly black hair and a deep bronze skin tone. She eyes are slightly tipped up at the very corner and are a deep blue that borders on black. She always dresses in very bright colors or only black.

Personality: Her temper is as mercurial as the way she dresses, though her color choice of the day is often reflective of her mood. She is very self-aware, she always sees how any given situation can benefit her but that rarely has much bearing on the way she reacts to a situation.
Since arriving at and graduating from the Collegium Jen has grown to be a very caring girl and no longer exhibits the occasional self-serving manner she had on arriving at the collegium. However she still sees the benefits and disadvantages to herself in any situation.

Short Life Story: Jentaria had always lived on the move. Daughter to a wealthy trader she's rarely stayed at home since her mother's death when she was three. Consequently she has seen much of the world from Lake Evendim to Kata'shin'a'in and all between but Valdemar is nominally their home. Tutored by many types of people through many countries she speaks and reads five languages fluently and knows the trade laws of every country they have ever had dealings with. Sometimes Jen heard voices in her sleep but she always believed it to be just a dream even when they spoke of things that later happened. Jen has a Natural shield to mind magic that lowers when she sleeps and had not encountered a true mage since she was 10. Odd things have happened in her life but her father has always found some explanation for the 'magic' seeming things fearing to lose his beloved daughter if she ever learned she had Mage powers just like her mother.

Unfortunately one day her ideal existence fell apart. In her sleep she dreamed of bandits planning an attack and shortly after dawn their wagon caravan was attacked by those bandits. Seeing the people she loved attacked and injured something within Jen snapped. She unknowingly began using her Mage Gift to fend off the bandits and when it seemed she had not more to give and she had not been effective enough she tapped a small leyline. Unable to control or stop the power coursing through her Jen killed the bandits and was destroying the nearby forest when Adept Firedancer and Master Windwalker arrived. Firedancer cut Jentaria off from the leyline and then began putting out the fires started while Windwalker tended to the caravan members.

Jen was taken to the Healer's Hall in nearby Haven to recuperate and then to be enrolled in the Mage's Collegium, her father had finally had to give her up after all, and not in a way he would have preferred.

Over time Jen forgave her father for not telling her of her mother's Gift, but then she had never really held much of a grudge as he was her only family and she still loves him very much.
