Theopania



Born to travelling performers Theopania grew to be quite the acrobat and performer but never gained popularity or prestige. She simple did not seem to fit in, even amoung the unusual fellows in her troupe. When young she took to stealing in an attempt to get noticed but soon grew too good and by the time she came of age she had resigned to the fact that others would forever see her as a nobody. She left the troupe before realising this however, believing at the time that her fellows were collaborating to keep her name from becoming known. Using her skills she wandered and tried different roles outside of performances, growing more confident the more she got away with. To maintain this lifestyle she fenced goods.

She came to the attention of the Order while pretending to be a Nun at a monastery. Lumen, a Jerbiton maga of Schola Pythagoranis, attempted to use her magic to persuade the monks to lend her one of their books while herself disguised as a scholar. When Theopania continued to suspiciously watch her the maga grew curious and investigated further. Discovering the watchful nun to not be a nun at all she revealed herself and threatened to reveal Theopania as well if she didn't leave with her (and the book). Theopania spent a little time in Cambridge doing favours for the magi of Schola Pythagoranis. While she could not bring herself to trust the mages she felt that keeping an eye on them and making herself useful was the best approach. Despite not believing that others would do so, she was a woman of her word during what tasks they assigned her, keeping what she knew of the Order and its mages secret. Her skills were of little scholarly use however which is why she was transferred to the newly founded Sagehollow Covenant.

Opinions on Others
Essel - Thankfully her 'gift' is more like those from Schola Pythagoranis than some of the other mages at Sagehollow making her quite friendly if a little distant. That is until she gives you that look.. Yikes. Fortunately she seems to trust me which is good.

Silk - Quite a laugh and great to travel with. He gets that living rich would be boring without the fun of theft, but I do think he goes a bit far with his disguises. Is he trustworthy? Sure. Is he dangerous? Almost certainly, but not to me I'd say. Extra plus, he isn't so easily swayed by a lot cut dress like some others at Sagehollow.

Little John - I don't get the 'little', unless he has a brother like the Redcap William. That aside he seems decent as long as I keep away during a fight and lets face it, when won't I? Not as scary as I thought he'd be at first look but still a bit gruff.

Old Giles - Not a man to underestimate which is great. He seems to keep to himself mostly but I suppose he sees everyelse at Sagehollow as 'youngsters'. I've not managed to relate to him yet.
