Mara is a sullen young woman. She usually does not dress with the flair and color of a typical Varisian but instead wears simple traveling clothes and keeps her hair pulled back in a plain tail. She is not initially very friendly with others but once she warms up to a group she works very well with them.

Mara was the daughter of a historian in Sandpoint who unfortunately passed away of natural causes when she was relatively young. She began traveling with a caravan as an apprentice and aid to a fortune-teller to make her way once she realized she did not have enough knowledge to survive as an academic. While traveling she learned some of the arcane arts of her new mentor as well as kept her eyes open for any opportunity to expand her knowledge so that she could eventually follow in her father's footsteps.
The rediscovery of Thassilon's legacy interested her as a study she could be on the forefront of to jumpstart her academic career, and as her lack of real social skills did not bode well for a potential career as a fortune-teller she looked for any opportunity to study Thassilon. When the rumors of activity in Roderick's Cove began which supposedly was associated with Thassilon, she took all of her existing finances and left the caravan at Roderic's Cove hoping to be involved in any way.
