Verena
Full name: Verena Terra Harrow Age: 25
Elven tattooist (custom class)- Daughter to an aristocratic family and is both the literal and figurative red-headed child of the family, born without a distinct connection to the arcane like so many others. Her family had pressured her since childhood to pursue the arcane powers of the “weave” (A strand-like flow of energy throughout the world that all arcana follows, similar to water flowing through river channels). However, Verena found that she was unable to bend and call upon the weave, but instead, capture it with magical needles and thread it through her body, becoming a conduit for the power similar to a battery, rather than a direct channeler. This understanding of herself was found later in her life, after an accident involving her taking a firebolt to the arm and being reprimanded for her incompetence by the family. The abuse continued, being told to cover up her scar and her shame of the family until she was worthy of being recognized for her mistakes. The final straw was when she was put into a forced marriage, claiming “she could finally be of some use to the family” given her looser connection to the arcane. She hears from rumors amidst the aristocracy about strange carvings and arcane designs that are trying to be harnessed in the locked-down city of Luyarnha, a place of wild innovation and discovery, but incredibly dangerous as well due to some sort of confusing plague…
