[hider=Silvana Brendin]
[b]Name[/b]: Silvana Brendin

[b]Age[/b]: 25

[b]Gender[/b]: Female

[b]Mastery[/b]: Pyromancer
[b]Specialty[/b]: Firesmith

[b]Rank[/b]: Adept

[b]Appearance[/b]: Standing at 5 feet 9 inches, Silvana has blue eyes and dirty blonde hair that is wavy and reaches to just above her shoulders. She's got an athletic build with a fair amount of muscle because of her specialty, and she has a slight tan as she likes being outside. Her clothes usually consist of bright colors, typically being red or orange. Her robes are slightly dark red, blending into some orange on the ends of her sleeves and the bottom of the robes.

[b]Equipment[/b]: Silvana carries a pendant under her robe in the shape of a flame, a gift from her parents to congratulate her becoming an Adept, and to motivate her towards getting the higher ranks of Weaver and Master.

[b]Demeanor[/b]: Silvana had always been a good girl. Her parents treated her well, and she had treated them well in return. Kind to others around her, and positive about most things around her, she wouldn't dream of arguing with someone, nevermind being angry towards others.

[b]History[/b]: Silvana was born to Nina, a Metallic Weaver who specialized in Ironwork, and Timothy, a merchant who did well enough as one. As an only child, she was spoiled a little bit, but her parents did their best not to make her feel like she could get anything she wanted. They gave her enough, and she was happy with what she got.

With her mother being a mage, Silvana was used to seeing magic on occasion. Her mother didn't need to use it often at home, but it came in handy at times. Silvana hoped that she could one day become a mage like her mother, so that she could do all the cool stuff too.

Silvana did all she could to help her parents at home, whatever task they asked her to do this or that day, and she rarely said no to them. Since she couldn't go with her mother to wherever she needed to be, she went with her father most of the time to the market, helping him sell his products. When her mother was at home, Silvana and her would spar with dull swords since she had asked her mother if she could train her to become strong like she was, what with her needing to be strong as an Ironworker and all that. And since Nina couldn't train her in magic Silvana didn't have, she agreed to help her become stronger physically.

One evening, when she was at the age of 7, the family was enjoying some down time in front of the fireplace, Silvana got extra interested in it for some reason she couldn't explain at that moment. She got closer and closer, and once she was close enough, she somehow made the flame dance almost exactly like she wanted. Her parents watched for a moment, then looked at each other and agreed that the next day they would take their daughter to the Academy.

There, Silvana was questioned on a lot of things, and asked to show what she could do. Provided with a small flame, Silvana got the flame to dance as she had done the evening before. After all that was done, Nina and Tim were told that she would need to attend the Academy in order to gain control of her powers.

So began her life at the Academy, where she would learn to become a Pyromancer. It wasn't the same kind of magic as her mother had, but she was thrilled nonetheless to be able to use magic of her own. She attended classes, learned the various ways to control fire, and eventually found that she preferred Firesmithing over Firestorming. There was just something about making a weapon or a companion out of fire that fascinated her more than simply throwing it around all willy nilly. Plus her mother had trained her in using a weapon, so that did factor into her decision as well.

She studied as hard as she could, becoming an Adept in her late teens. Her parents were proud of her when she became an Adept, giving her a pendant in the shape of a flame so that she might one day become a Master. Silvana was more than happy with being an Adept for now, but still wanting to study harder to become a Weaver like her mother. She wanted to make her parents even prouder of her, as they were the most precious and important people of her life.
