Belle lived in a community of Tienan Kitsune lumberjacks immigrants. Her adopted people, in typical Tian Xia fashion, were all about loyalty and service, and art. In service to these she became a white mage arcanist. She heals when called upon and fashions scrolls of healing. Her passion, however, is art. She crafts scrolls of bright artistry, as much a work of art as an implement of healing. She finds beauty in almost everything and has lived a very sheltered life. She has a difficult time imagining a world where brutality and evil exists. The thought troubles her and even worse, artists of undeniable talent have often told her that for her art to improve she needs to experience more of life. That the pain of loss could lead to more 'dimension' to her art. That what she produces lacks a certain level of passion. It is for that reason that she is considering leaving her enclave, and studio, to participate in something... dramatic and life changing.

White Mage
A white mage is an arcanist touched by a divine power and gifted with the ability to heal others.
Spontaneous Healing (Su): At 1st level, a white mage can expend 1 point from her arcane reservoir to use one of her spell slots to cast a cure spell (any spell with “cure” in its name) from the cleric spell list as if it were on her spell list and prepared. The spell must be of a level the arcanist can cast. At 10th level, the white mage can expend 5 points from her arcane reservoir and a spell slot of at least 5th level to cast breath of life. This ability replaces the arcanist exploits gained at 1st and 9th levels.
Greater Exploit: At 11th level, a white mage can select the following greater exploit.
- Fast Healing (Su): A white mage can spend 1 point from her arcane reservoir and expend a spell slot of at least 2nd level to grant her allies the fast healing ability. Allies within 30 feet gain fast healing (Bestiary 300) equal to 1/2 the level of the spell slot sacrificed. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to the arcanist’s Charisma modifier (minimum 1).

Writing sample:
A comely elven maid, dressed in a simple tunic, her blond hair piled on top fastened by a pair of pins in Tian Xia fashion, bends over a scroll, paintbrush moving slowly, brow furrowed in concentration as she adds some detail to the illustration in the margin. A fidgety human man waits quietly to the side. Unable to contain himself any longer he speaks out, "Belle, we NEED those scrolls NOW. There was an accident and there are..."
His question is interrupted by a single finger from the hand not currently busy with the illustration, while the furrow in her brow grows more deep. Slowly and with distraction she informs the man, "Benjamin, the ART is as important as the function. You must know that by now."
"But Belle," Akane replies, "we're just going to use the scroll as soon as it is finished and the writing will vanish. What's the point?"
Pausing from her work she directs her blue eyes towards the swarthy anxious man. "What is the point of ice sculpting. Why did the gods put such beauty in a sunset or cloud. The value or art cannot be measured in the amount of time it is enjoyed." Though willing to interrupt her work to deliver an education, she still fails to provide the man with the object he desires.
"Are you done with that. Or could you at least give me the strolls you have finished?"
*sigh* "What happened this time? Oh, never mind. I'm sure its the same old story, 'The lord treats the Kitsune like animals.' You do know he treats me little better. With my western coloring I no more fit in than your folk do. All of their people have a difficult time with anyone who is different."
"It would seem that you will leave me no peace until I do. Over there, in that vase. You will find the half dozen or so I've completed."
