Appearance:

Qadira is a striking woman. She stands just over six feet tall, with long, flowing black hair and dark eyes that are framed by surprisingly thick and heavy brows. She has a stern, direct gaze, and her body is lean and muscular. She has sharp, aristocratic features, and her shoulders are slightly squared. She is able to wear typical Thayan clothing, though she tends to wear it more casually, as if it were a normal garment. She carries a sword at her hip, and a staff on her back.

Interaction:

Qadira is a good-natured person, and is willing to listen to the party, though she is insistent that the party not interfere unless absolutely necessary. She will usually be willing to provide information as long as she feels that it won't compromise the mission.

Background:

Qadira was born into nobility in Thay, though while her mother, an Elemental Wizard, was from the country. Her father, a Thayan military man, was from the capital. Both were very insistant that she learn as much of the magic her mother could teach her, to make sure she could defend herself. Her mother died when Qadira was eight years old, leaving her orphaned, and her father was able to get her into the Wizard's Guild through his influence. She was enrolled in the wizard's academy, where she quickly proved that she had inherited her mother's ability. Her father, though he had originally intended for her to learn priestly magic, was pleased. He and Qadira were able to rebuild some of the relationship that had been lost with her mother's death. Her father died when she was sixteen, and Qadira was able to find a position in the capital in the Department of Intelligence. It was a fairly straightforward job: most recently, she'd been assigned to interrogate the former trade minister. She had been promised a promotion if she succeeded.

Combat / Skills:

Qadira is a Primalist, which means that she gains an Elemental Form, a sort of manifestation of one of the elemental planes. Every day, she can choose to either be a Fire elemental, an Air elemental, a Water elemental, or an Earth elemental. Each one of these grants her different abilities, which she can call upon, one at a time. She starts with 1d6 elemental damage, and can only hold her elemental form for a number of rounds equal to her level. When she is in elemental form, she will attempt to attack with one of the other elements, as she is able to deal them elemental damage. If she is reduced to zero hitpoints or below, she is knocked unconscious and cannot continue to fight in that turn. As she gets stronger, she gains more abilities, which can be called upon when she is in her elemental form.

Equipment:

Qadira has a +1 cold iron longsword for combat. She always carries 15 gold pieces on her.
