Appearance:

Poria is a tall, slender, magical elf with a shaved head. She has a tattoo of a fluttering butterfly just above each of her cheekbones, and a tattoo of a small bird on her left temple. Her eyes are cat-like, and she has a scratchy, raspy voice.

Interaction:

Poria is a neglected orphan with an inferiority complex. She was abandoned by her parents because they thought she was a failure (apparently, she has some sort of super-powerful magic, but it doesn't work). She was taken in by a dwarf, Gunther, who trained her in spells that were not quite normal in nature. At the age of seventeen, Poria left Gunther and, as a young adult, became a mercenary, using her special magic to serve whatever cause she was hired to. The first seven years of her life were spent studying under Gunther, so she is now about twenty-four years old. She is often very quiet and shy, but when she is angry, she unleashes unspeakable violence on her enemies.

Background:

Poria was raised in a small, quiet village that had very little experience with magic. One day, a woman came to the village, claiming to be a merchant looking for spells and potions. She offered this merchant the use of her small stone cottage. Poria, who was the only magical person in the village, went to the cottage to meet the woman. The woman was not a merchant; she was a witch. The witch introduced herself as Gunther, and told Poria that she was a magic-user as well. If they worked together, they could make a great deal of money in a short amount of time, and Poria could quit the boring village and see the world. Poria agreed, and Gunther trained her in a variety of spells that were not normal to the village. Eventually, Poria became bored and set off on her own. She left Gunther and headed off on a road of adventure.

Combat / Skills:

Poria has a wide variety of attacks at her disposal, including direct and indirect magically created energy attacks. She is not very good at melee combat, but she can usually make up for this by attacking her enemies from a distance.
