Haeddi

"I could have been just as good as them, why must fate be so cruel"

Apprenticed at Fengheld covenent in the Rhine tribunal hopes were high for Haeddi, combining the gift with her knowledge of figurine magic was to be the first step in fully integrating the art into Hermetic theory. However, disaster stuck during the opening of her gift, as her supernatural gift interfered with the opening. The ritual caused a surge of energy damaging her ear (which later had to be removed) and leaving her permantly weakened and illness prone. Worse was the fall-out her parens only cared that his guild rivals would humiliate him for his failure, so he wanted to hide Haeddi away so he didn't have to face his failure. His rivals offered Haeddi positions to join their covenents, but only to rub her former masters face in his failure. Faced with the prospect of a life of obscurity, or to be paraded by others to humiliate her former parens, she was desperate for another path. Luckily for Haeddi a recently gauntleted mage named Essel had learned of this event and her plight. Essel offered Haeddi's parens a way out, she would take Haeddi with her to the Stonehenge tribunal, away from his detractors, and out of the clutches of his rivals. Haeddi could start anew and try to make the best of her changed circumstances. The final thing that convinced her was Essel was the first person after the event to actually ask Haeddi how she was and what she wanted to do. Instant friends Haeddi prepared to return to the country of her birth, determined to contribute to the order of Hermes, even if it wasn't how she dreamed it would be.

Opinions on Others
Mages Arianwen - Her goals to explore Fertility magic seem fascinating, hope it doesn't have unintended consequences. Cirice - House ex Misc. really does produce strange mages. Cursed to remain a child, but blessed with an impressive understanding of the elements, I hope she finds it a good trade. Edric - A typical Bonisagus lab-rat, can't wait to see what he discovers. Rian - What an exotic tradition he belongs to, fascinating. Evelyn - Desires the power of Rune magic, it seems a more advanced version of my figurine magic, maybe we can work together? Essel - First to see me as a person, not an embarrassment or a tool to be used, treats me as an equal. I'm forever in her debt! Companions Iris - Robin of Loxley - Pays the bills for us, so can't complain Lady Tessora of Artois - Truly epitomizes the power of the Dominion. I just hope she lets us work our magic free of judgment. Will Scarlet - A real Lycanthrope! I've read about them, but to see one, fascinating. Tancred - Was actually alive during the Schism War, a walking piece of History, how interesting. Torvi Ylvakri - Grogs Silk - On his day a valuable asset, the rest of the week though ... Gillian - A tragic tale of un recognized love, so sad. Theopania - Has experience of the Order, knows our ways. Chimi - Can sense magic around her, wish I had that ability. Grew up with the fae, maybe I can learn from her? Adelaide - Keep safe, please. Byrne - Glad to have people like him keeping us safe. Cass - Hope her 'unique' skill set comes in handy. Doc. Thursten - A true specialist, worth every penny Old Giles - Takes everything in his stride, hope he enjoys retirement with us. Lohse - There is magic in her songs Erik - Seeks a glorious death, I can relate, I hope I'm remembered for something other than someone else's failure. Alistair - Encountered a real Giant! - scary but also fascinating Falko - Saw one of the Ascians, hope I never do! Osanna - A wild firebrand, sharp tongue, sharper axe. Oskar - Another one touched by the Fae, like Chimi it clearly affected his mind. Cuthbert - Charming and polite, can see why he is popular. Islywyn - Be careful, experimenting with magic can be very dangerous, I know to my cost Alfred - I wish Edric would share him with the rest of us more. Edward - A forge companion is an important role, Hope Evelyn gives you some of the credit, don't want to be a forgotten assistant, like some would want of me. Richard - He had me at "Hello There!", dreamy! Alison - Maybe Lady Tessora can turn this street kid into a virtuous Paladin. Aroh Byait - Unfortunate name, hope fortune smiles on him
