Odette Zauberbund

Backstory

Wizard who dropped out of Kregsexar Arsenal Academy of magic in Felshafen. Odette arrived a few years ago as a travelling unlicensed spellmonger, seeking to fill gaps in the services provided by overtaxed village spellmongers. She competed for a time in Frent and drew ire from some by agitating local figures, but eventually became assistant to Aadu, and expanded the breadth and reach of weaves and wards that could be provided locally. Being very reluctant to discuss how or why she left the academy, many locals have come to speculate that she may actually be a deserter trying to hide in their quiet little village. Many folk distrust her and leave someone to watch while she casts wards, for fear she may steal from them or skive off.

Appearance

A slender young woman with dark blonde hair tied in a bun. She wears layered blue and grey robes, and has a variety of small pouches hanging from a wide belt. Odette often seems wary or nervous, but eager to prove herself. She travels to sites prepared with a satchel of small instruments and bags of herbs and other components. As she quietly observes the circumstances of a site to prepare for a ritual weave, some folk suspicious of her believe that she is studying their valuables.

Motivation

Assistant to the old Franklin Master Aadu of Frent, under his spellmongering license. Odette fled to the hinterlands of Frent after being driven out of the kingdoms public war academy for sparks. She does not reveal how or why she came to be here, but is determined to earn a place for herself and put her unpleasant past behind her. Earning her own spellmonger license could free her from Aadu and the legal and tax burdens of practicing unlicensed. If she can earn the favor and generosity of Lord Frent by protecting his interests, she could set up her own practice.

Catchphrases

"Don't Let Fear Cast a Shadow on Your Life." Often said in a manner that appears to be a reminder to herself as much as to others.

"Measure Twice, Cast Once." Displaying professional integrity and courtesy to the customer.
