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 a wounded arm, that never quite healed correctly. 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.

Description
Age: 17 (born 1175) Height: 5'2" Build: Slim build

Haeddi prefers the company of the other mages, often found in her lab or the library deep in study, conscious of her missing ear (she always hides it under her hair) and her left arm (often kept behind her back) that never healed right after the lab accident. After experiencing the magical world, mundane matters bore her.

Downtime: Nearly always found writing/copying or reading a book, had a brief liaison with Richard, which ended badly, it'll be some time before she is ready to open up again.

Fun Facts: Always eats her food in alphabetical order.

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 Ylvakrí - 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. Bryne Vaughn - Glad to have people like him keeping us safe. Cass - Hope her 'unique' skill set comes in handy. Doctor Tursten Maynard - A true specialist, worth every penny Giles "Old "Iron Fist" Giles" Cooper - 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. Islwyn - 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! Then he "Hello there'd" someone else ... grrr! Alison - Maybe Lady Tessora can turn this street kid into a virtuous Paladin. Percival "Arrow Bait" Fletcher - Unfortunate name, hope fortune smiles on him
