Alyssa Starglow

Alyssa Starglow, commonly known as "Alyssa" is a Human Wizard studying the art of evocation, her studies involve the manipulation of the elements which includes elementals.

Appearance
Alyssa stands at 5 '4'', she has beautiful long blonde hair that she usually wears naturally falling down her back, occasionally tying it into a bun or braids when studying. Her eyes are a deep ocean blue and her completion is fair. Her usual attire includes a purple dress with a skirt that is sectioned into three pieces for mobility, a corset and leather wrist wraps, leather boots and a deep purple cloak with a hood that is clasped together by a blue jewel broach. She wears makeup sparingly only to enhance her natural beauty.

Personality
Alyssa is a very serious girl, since first attending the Kabal Academy of the Arcane Arts as she wishes to make her adoptive parents proud. This combined with her passion for the Arcane drives her to excel in her studies, so that one day she could possibly become a member of the council. Due to spending most of her time studying she isn't the most comfortable around people, especially strangers. This leads to Alyssa coming off as cold or defensive as she doesn't know how to approach social situations. This demeanor changes however when she is showing off her magical capabilities and she then turns into a huge know it all, who wishes to share her knowledge with others. She has a tendency to charm those who disagree with her so that she can have her way, as she sees it as a shortcut past a lot of arguing which she would rather not waste her energy on, leading to further arguments down the road. Alyssa can also come off as a kind soul due to being rather innocent, she prefers to find other methods opposed to violence and will only fight and kill as a last resort. She has a strong sense of justice and will do onto others an act of kindness if they have done so onto her, or if she feels it will benefit her own self-interests down the road. With a political eye Alyssa is always looking for opportunities that she can exploit in order to further her studies and career in the arcane arts.

Biography
From an early age Alyssa Starglow was an orphan living in the Ashton Port orphanage. She would spend hours gazing over the coast out into the ocean wondering what was out there. She was a kind girl and always had a love for books as she used to read to the other childeren often.

One day when Alyssa was about 12 years of age, an elven family were in town who felt pity for the young girl without a home and decided to take her in. They took her back to Kabal's Rest the grand city of the arcane where she began to develop an interest in magic. Noticing her interest her parents decided she would attend the Kabal Academy of the Arcane Arts which she did so from the age of 15 onward.

Living in a household of mages Alyssa felt a need to earn their adoration and so studied hard for years to become the best mage she could. Her new family have her a certain drive to be better than anyone else, in this developing a little bit of a superiority complex, looking down on others who weren't as bright or she deemed lesser. With such determination driving her forward to perfect each teaching, it wasn't long before she was the top of all of her classes to the point where she was allowed to sit in on some of the more advanced classes not meant for novice practitioners.

All was well however one day there was a plot uncovered within the Academy to Assassinate the Headmaster of the Academy and the blame was thrown on poor Alyssa due to planted evidence. She pleaded her case, but nobody listened and she was seen as a traitor. Only her family believed her and they helped her get out of the city. Now unsure on where to turn next Alyssa moves forward in the world, contemplating clearing her name and her tarnished reputation. At least now she would have a chance to experience the world that she had always read about.

Hakota Windsong
Alyssa has a deep respect for Hakota despite not knowing him for long, this is due to him acting selflessly on the field of battle and rescuing Alyssa who was near death. When carrying Alyssa to safety Hakota was killed. He risked his own life for hers, despite only just meeting her. His valor and selflessness are what proved his worth to her. Hakota is a man Alyssa looks up to and would like to take the time to get to know him better.

Taleisin Silvermoon
Since first meeting Tal Alyssa has found an interest in him due to him having a blindfold imbued with primordial rune based abjuration. However Tal was initially cold and stand-offish with Alyssa, however she persevered and offered her services to Tal's sister Sylana. Tal allowed Alyssa to help help him with the condition they speak to each other in Primordial, there was no physical contact and that she not share everything with Sylana. Alyssa wanting to help Tal agreed to these terms so that they could work together. After gaining a better understanding of the twins Alyssa gained a deeper respect for the Wood Elf and decided she can trust him, and hopes that one day they can trust each other mutually.

Sticks Lightheart
Being a rather flamboyant and wealthy individual Alyssa was quick to accept help from Sticks, being short handed and feeling like she was the only inalectual on the team she felt desprate to get someone who was somewhat on her level on board. The fact he is quite a charming man and shares similar views on some of her group members she feels like she can count on him more than the likes of Teara and Felix.

Quests
Alyssa's main quest is to write a wrong and clear her own name, as she was framed for a plot to kill the Headmaster of the Kabal Academy. She wishes to bring those who wronged her to justice so that she may return to her studies and perhaps gain some additional perks for her troubles.
