Gillaine

Background

Gillaine grew up on a farm a couple days outside of Arvey. When the Mages’ Guild discovered her magical aptitude, she was offered a spot at the Academy. To cover the costs of her enrollment, however, she spent much of her time as a menial servant to various instructors. She performed well and learned much from her instructors, but she didn’t always get on well with her fellow students.

Shortly before graduation, a professor gifted Gillaine with a unique wizard’s staff named “Breathe Deep.” She cherishes it and takes it with her everywhere.

Gillaine believes Antoni stole her final project idea. She doesn’t know how he could have gotten his hands on her notes, but the similarities are just too great.

She doesn’t fully trust Jensen, but she is willing to let him buy her drinks. Gillaine thinks she remembers everything she has told him while drunk.

The halfling comes from a tenant family on Kenlee’s land. The two were friends as children, before class differences drove them apart. She resents that Kenlee didn’t renew their friendship at the Academy.

Gillaine has a crush on Caleb, but he has never shown any interest in her whatsoever. She is shy but friendly with him.

Miranda and Gillaine share a lasting rivalry, but ultimately, they each respect the other as wizards. She thinks they could be friends now that they’ve graduated.

Goals

Prove Antoni stole your research.
Work up the courage to tell Caleb how you feel.
Make friends with Miranda.
