Female Wizard

Backstory

You were a scholar of the Arcane Codex, spending years in dusty libraries studying the theory of familiar bonds rather than forming one yourself. Your hesitation stemmed from perfectionism—you wanted to understand the magic completely before committing to a companion. That caution may have saved you. While other wizards across Aethel screamed as their familiars were torn from them, you remained untouched, unbonded, powerless but unprey. Now you've awakened to a fractured realm where the Houses blame each other and an ancient hunger stalks the magical weave. The High Mages have called a summit, and for the first time, your isolation feels like opportunity: you can choose which faction to join, and more importantly, you can choose a familiar without their politics clouding your judgment. But the clock is running out.
