Profile
--------------------
Personality Lina is an enigma wrapped up in a conundrum. She was blessed with a youth of wealth and privilege, but desires nothing which comes with that life. Lina is utterly brilliant and hyper focused on her work, to the point that she can become oblivious to the world around her. Though her devil may care attitude for the niceties of society can give off an aristocratic apathy, those close to her describe her as akin to a hummingbird when she's excited about a topic. She has always abhorred cruelty and greed, and has taken well to her newfound duties as a protector of Magnimar.

Appearance At a glance Lina physically matches the expectation of a noble woman - petite, lithe, pale skinned, with long, flowing dark hair, angular features, and large eyes. Yet just as Lina has little time for the pomp and circumstance of noble life, she puts minimal effort into matching the world's expectations for her. Lina avoids the frills of high society, tending instead to dress in utilitarian, functional clothing. Her only attempt at grooming is binding her mien of dark hair up in a strange bun or loose ponytail. He clothes usually bear some form of scar from her many experiments and creations, whether an accidental burn or an obvious stain. She most commonly goes about the city in a dark leather longcoat, which offers protection from both the elements and the occasional altercation. She carries few weapons, but always has a satchel full of her experiments.

Background Lina was born the second daughter of a minor country noble family, distant relatives of House Vanderale of Magnimar. Their eldest two children showed little promise, but in Lina, her vibrant mind promising appearance gave her parents pause. She was sent to Magnimar to be raised among her cousins, with the hope she could get married off and bring her parents fortune. Sadly, they knew nothing of their daughter's nature.

While her cousins spent hours perfecting their posture and etiquette, Lina's time was spent with the academic tutors the Vanderale family employed. They were impressed by her passion for learning, as she absorbed topic after topic. The head tutor recommended she be brought into assist with the family business, but her uncle didn't want her involved. As she aged into her teenage years, her focus lead her deep in the sciences, specifically alchemy and tinkering. These dominated her every waking moment, leading her to ultimately have a few failed launches as 'a lady of society'.

Not that it bothered her, but after that, Lina's was relegated to the background of the Vanderale family. Her parents back in the country disowned her, but her aunt was actually quite impressed with the skills and talent her niece exhibited. Having near limitless resources, she set Lina up in one of the family's properties in Lowcleft, complete with an extensive lab for her to pursue her work. In exchange, she supplies her kinsmen with their alchemical needs.

In one of her recent experiments, she tried to utilize the monument to the Battle of Charda to harness a lightning storm's power. Though the experiment failed and she nearly died (and was left with a bold white swath of her hair), she also found a strange gift of powers manifesting within her. Recently blessed, she seeks out others like her.
