"I am of nobility, but I wanted to sea what life had to offer. I hail from what you might consider the 'exotic south,' and that is how I came to be in Lady Lavinia's employ.
"When the
Blue Nixie was caught in the storm that separated us, I was struck by a bolt of lightning and nearly killed. I was a in a coma for days, and it wasn't until the
Nixie was in Farshore that I awoke. My only memory of the incident was a vision of an athletic woman wearing tight clothing and a flowing blue cloak. In the vision, the woman defied all manner of peril, relying on what seemed to be a delightful combination of physical prowess and dumb luck. I've since come to realize that this vision was of the goddess of luck and skill, Rudd.
"When you met me before, I was simply a sorceress of the fey bloodline, but I have since sent my prayers and have been answered. It is not religious power like what you wield, for I have no rituals demanded of me of any kind. But I try to discover what Rudd asks of me and am blessed and pass those battle blessings on to my fellow Ravens. Speaking of when I knew you before ...
"I know that where you were concerned, Doctor Cohen, I was still haughty and full of my noble background and treated you as a servant. That may be your actual designation, but I may have been unkind, and so I ask that you forgive me.
"As to abilities of note. Like I said, my original sorcerous power seems to be due to fey influence in my family at some point in the past. I studied and focused on enchantments, and ever since I developed holy powers, that study - especially befitting compulsions - seems to have carried over. I can put folks to sleep, blanket allies in illusion unseen, cure the most serious of wounds, and bring down enemy magic.
"When discussing non-spellcasting abilities, I shine best in competition, when it seems that I am blessed with my goddess' luck. Still, even though it might seem to be a peasant exercise, I found woodworking to be a peaceful exercise for my hands; I am skilled, but not master woodworker.
"My attitude - that haughty one - I don't exercise it like I used to, but it seems that I can take my fey-influenced voice and expressions and put the very fear of the gods into someone. Given that I spent so many years trying to understand my sorcerous powers before now, I am expert among the
original Ravens for all discussions concerning the occult, magical traditions, and understanding the various schools of magic, though not quite the same for spell theory since I never had to study quite the same for my powers. I am known among the Ravens for having the sharpest senses - again, probably a fey throwback. I would argue that this, with my knowledge of enchantments is such that I am pretty good at understanding others, and also have one of the strongest minds to resist enchantments."

Diplomacy only was an 11. There is something particularly displeasing about the otherwise vivacious woman, almost as if there were a touch of something "unclean" about her. She has fantastic natural charisma, but no actual training to speak of here. In fact, you would see she might even have regressed in this regard since you knew her.
Intimidate was a 21, and she wasn't even trying!
