Carmelia

Mage of the Mage's Society, Seventh Circle — dark blue-purple iridescent hair that shifts color with the light, glowing vibrant-orange pupils ("the mana that courses through her veins"), arcane tattoos over neck and chest and a rune on her forehead. A stickler for the Reclamation Agreement's rules of engagement (no attacking anyone who hasn't attacked, borne arms, harmed an innocent, or been pre-approved) — though she'll pre-ready a killing spell while she checks. Treats consenting test subjects "like a guinea pig in a cage."

Session 8

• Spoke last at the Fort Foothold council speeches: the Society's 15,000-year-old treaty obligation stands — retake Cathalon, kill Laewendas, who murdered the rightful king.
• Deliberately led the pursuing Fenric into a dead-end alley, then relaxed into a handshake when he only wanted a Society check-in ("It is a pleasure to meet one of our finest weapons") — privately mortified to be "the first mage he could find."
• Tasked Fenric with Euphemia Fayeth, Laewendas's right-hand mage at Pinpadge — with the caution to spare Euphemia's "allies," who may be memory-twisted innocents — and reiterated standing orders to keep 20–30 miles clear of Cathalon until the siege.
• Test-cast a minor illusion/enchantment on a consenting Fenric and glitter-blinded him for seconds when he failed the save: "Interesting. I thought your kind was immune to such magics." If she can confuse his eyes, Euphemia can confuse his mind.
