Boons
--------------------
Society Infiltrator Your expert infiltration of Amynta's estate has impressed the Society, which provides you with a special dispensation to aid you in similar endeavors in the future. Characters with this boon can purchase disguise kits at half price. This reduction in cost does not stack with any other boons or abilities that reduce the cost to purchase disguise kits, and disguise kits attained in this manner cannot be sold for more than was spent to acquire them under any circumstances.
[_][_][_] Sommelier’s Private Selection As a standard action, you may check one of the boxes next to this boon to draw and drink a bottle of this refined beverage, healing yourself for 1d8 hit points per 2 levels you have (maximum 5d8). The effects of this beverage may be maximized using the Chef's Secret Recipes boon.
[_] New Contacts (The Exchange): You convinced one of the bidders at the auction to work with the Exchange in the future. This contact helps you acquire an item that would normally be beyond your reach. You can count your fame as 2 higher for the purpose of a single purchase, to a maximum of twice your XP. When you do so, check off the box before this boon. In addition, your conversations with your new contact taught you information that may assist you on future missions. Each potential contact grants you a +2 bonus on a relevant Knowledge check (before rolling). Cyran: Knowledge (planes), Irith: Knowledge (nobility), Vayde: Knowledge (religion). When you use this bonus, cross the contact’s name off your Chronicle sheet.
Prophet’s Ally: By helping Passad secure a district in Alabastrine, you proved to him that the Pathfinder Society remains a valuable ally. If you follow the Prophecies of Kalistrade, he assists you in your business ventures. You can purchase the following modified version of the Prophets of Kalistrade vanity for 4 Prestige Points (Pathfinder Society Field Guide 61). If you already have the vanity, it upgrades to the version below.
Prophets of Kalistrade (4 PP): You adhere to the philosophy of the Prophecies of Kalistrade. As such, you follow strict sexual and dietary restrictions, and hold the amassing of vast personal wealth as your primary motivation in life, and have no patron deity. So long as you maintain these strictures, you can spend 1 PP to reroll a Day Job check. You must take the result of the reroll, even if it is lower. When you spend 1 PP to reroll a Day Job check, you may increase the cap on your earnings. A DC 45 Day Job check now earns you 200 gp, and a DC 50 Day Job check earns you 300 gp. Alternatively, you can spend 1 PP before using a reroll that you gain from another source to receive this expanded range of rewards for the Day Job check. You can’t spend more than 1 PP from this vanity on a single Day Job check.
[_][_][_] Storm Rider Having braved the Eye of Abendego and faced the Tempest Monarch, you have gained one of the fearsome dragon’s scales, imbued with the elemental energies of the Eye. Whether you gained the scale through force or guile, it responds only to your command. You can check one of the boxes next to this boon as a standard action to cast endure elements on yourself, with a caster level equal to your character level.
--------------------
Appearance
--------------------
At first glance, Ela looks like a human girl of no more than 12 years. In fact, she is an elf of a many more years but still very young by the life-span of that ancestry.

Her elven ears tend to hide within her long, thick chestnut hair, which invites undesired patronizing from elders and even non-elder adults of other ancestries.

She has a youthful, round face that is constantly projecting a determined expression. She will often glare at something or someone as she concentrates on the subject, trying to figure it out or recall knowledge about it.
--------------------
Behavior and Personality
--------------------
Ela often surprises others with the manner in which she speaks, seeming more like an adult than her appearance would suggest. However, if one probes enough they will find the lack of earned wisdom of an adult elf.

Based on her background, she's used to low expectations. It takes time to earn her trust. However, once somebody has it, she can be a ferocious friend. While she can be pessimistic, she's quite open to others who acknowledge her abilities and especially those who share arcane and engineering interests.

Background
--------------------
Ela does not know where she originally came from. Her earliest memories are of handmaids tending to her at the Arcanamirium.

Odd, this is a wizards academy, not an orphanage...

There were whispers about her origin but never any verified facts. Was she the illegitimate child of one of the important wizards there? Perhaps she was cursed to lose her prior memories, cutting off knowledge of where she came from, perhaps an entire other life.

The instructors often talked about her potential and she began training at a very young age.

However, while she took to it naturally she was distracted by curiosities of how mechanical things work. While her instructors did not approve, she kept a consuming hobby taking apart pistols and putting them back together. The tell-tail smudges of black powder all over her hands and face would often give her away.

There was one professor who encouraged her in her hobby. A professor of engineering and magic who was pioneering a new field of mixing magic and mechanical devices.

Eventually, she convinced Ela to take some time off from the Arcanamirium and see the world, applying her skill set to real world problems.
