███ IN DEPTH ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ ▃▃▃▃
Weapon ❀ Evanora specializes is throwing knifes, preferring to stay at a distance when in a fight.
Magic ❀ Evanora was Saadeth's very first follower and has been serving him for centuries. As such, she has unlocked all possible abilities affiliated with him. ❀ Despite being able to use all these abilities, Evanora specializes in certain fields. She is an expert caster, allowing her to cast spells or charms and place hexes or curses on others with ease, and she has several unique spells at her disposal. Her job as Court Wizard often requires her to use her scrying and divination as well as brew potions for the royal family and people of Ignius. ❀ Though not a skill used professionally, Evanora is more than a servant to the royal family. She likes to put on shows for the citizens or help them if she can as well. For this, she has mastered the arts of transfiguration, shape-shifting, and possession. ❀ The gifts that Saadeth has blessed her with are Immortality, Direct Communication, Magical Enhancement, and Regeneration. Direct Communication was her very first gift, but Immortality was given to her later on. Over the centuries, she earned the other two.
Other Notable Skills or Abilities ❀ Botany ❀ Zoology ❀ Astrology ❀ Theatre ❀ Master Tactician ❀ Expert Diplomat
Likes ❀ Saadeth ❀ The Covingtons and people of Ignius ❀ Pastries ❀ Candy ❀ Spicy Food
Dislikes ❀ Glaciem ❀ The Ciam Bloodline ❀ Snow and Ice ❀ Cold Weather ❀ Messy Environments
Fears ❀ Evanora is scared of the reactions of the Ignians if they were to learn of her relation to the Ciams. ❀ She fears the thought of one day losing her connection to Saadeth. Not because she will lose the powers affiliated with him, but because she sees the divine as her oldest and closest friend even if he does not view her in the same light.
Secrets ❀ No one outside Saadeth and herself know that she is of Glacian royalty and Evanora intends to keep it that way. ❀ Despite having accepted the recent hope of peace between Ignius and Glaciem, happy to let peace spring up, she is fully prepared to crush the frozen royals should she see it as a necessary step to ensure Ignius' safety.
Extras ❀ As a way of expressing mercy to and appreciation for her, Saadeth removed the memories of Evanora's five years in prison and sealed them inside one of the books she carries around her waist. Because of this, she is very protective of her books and doesn't like anyone touching them in fear of them finding her memories. ❀ Aside from her memory tome, Evanora has four other books on her waist. Each book is filled front to back with spells, curses, and recipes. ❀ Evanora may be immortal, but only the royal family and relevant servants know this. To the public, "Evanora Nyx" is more of a formal title and family name passed down to each new Court Wizard. It's widely believed that she is her own daughter as she changes her appearance with Transfiguration on occasion to keep up the façade that when a Court Wizard dies, her daughter - born and trained by her mother in secret - is given the responsibility. It's a poorly constructed lie, but it's worked for this long. ❀ Evanora transfigures herself to appear how she wants with new each "generation" of Court Wizard, but at nights and when she is otherwise not in the eye of the public, she reverts to her original form. Keeping herself transfigured is exhausting.
███ PERSONALITY ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ ▃▃▃▃
For the most part, Evanora is a talkative woman that just wants to make friends and have fun. She's mischievous, often pulling pranks or causing trouble, and she can be a bit of joker when things get tense. But, don't be fooled by her fun-loving nature. When it counts, Evanora proves to be a deadly serious person. She is not afraid to get her hands dirty and isn't one to show mercy where she can't afford to. Evanora is incredibly intelligent and her witchcraft means she could turn into a dangerous weapon at any moment. Evanora, though her truest loyalty lies with Saadeth, is unwaveringly loyal to the Covingtons and people of Ignius. This loyalty is the result of deep gratitude for their unconditional kindness and acceptance towards her.
███ HISTORY ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ ▃▃▃▃
Evanora was born a very long time ago in Glaciem under the name Sybbyl Ann Ciam. Born to the queen at the time, one would think her life was luxurious; but, it was the complete opposite. Evanora was conceived through a non-consensual union - or, so her mother claimed. Because of this, Evanora was treated as an unholy burden, enduring abuse from almost everyone around her and treated as a slave. To add to the prejudice, Evanora was one of the rare few born without magical prowess, which was, at the time, treated as some sort of plague. Her only salvation from this was the crown prince, her older brother, who was the only person to see the wrong in blaming her for something she had no control over. He loved her and did his best to protect her from the unfair and cruel treatment, but even he was unable to protect her all the time. So, Evanora would pray as often as she could and beg the divines to help her, figuring that if she had the blessing of even one of them, her life would turn around and she would no longer be treated the way she was. She didn't ask to be special or anything extravagant. All Evanora wanted was the chance to be a princess the kingdom and, more importantly, her mother would be proud of. Because, even though she had every possible reason to hate them all, she still wanted to help them. She was, after all, a Ciam; a child of royal blood.
In the end, however, it wasn't meant to be. The god that heard and answered her prayers was one of darkness, left behind from an era long forgotten. At the time, however, Evanora didn't know this. She had heard the voice of the gods and, as any faithful believer would, didn't question their demands.
Even if said demand was the sacrifice of her brother.
After all, when a god asks something from you, it is foolish to question or deny it. Evanora didn't hesitate and killed her brother as the god instructed. It wasn't until after the fact that she realized she had followed the will of Saadeth. His blessing involved granting her magic, which was considered unholy to her people and she was swiftly imprisoned for both her new power and the murder of the crown prince. She spent five years locked away, enduring all manners of punishment from the guards, until she managed to escape.
After her escape, she abandoned her birth name to become Evanora Nyx and fled from her kingdom. For a time, she traveled the other kingdoms for ten years, learning to control her newfound power and often changing her appearance to avoid the law. It wasn't until she eventually found her way to Triet that she settled in Ignius. The people of the small oasis town took pity on the exhausted and broken girl that stumbled into their streets, nursing her back to health and offering her food, shelter, and companionship without ever asking for anything in return. To express her gratitude towards the people of Triet, Evanora began brewing potions to soothe the aches and pains of their elders and giving their children charmed pendants to ward off illness and night terrors. Word of her strange but extraordinary magic soon reached the ears of the royal family, catching their interest.
She was summoned to the Amber Castle where she was asked to demonstrate her power for the royal family and thus the title of Court Wizard was born. This has been her life well over four hundred years and she couldn't be happier. She has a home within the borders of Ignius and the Covington family has treated her as family for as long as she has been in their service. She is as loyal to the desert kingdom as she is to Saadeth and will do all that she can to help its people.
