She will not hesitate to take the initiative, whether it be something as mundane as striking up a conversation or casting the first spell of a battle. She will also try to offer her help to anyone she thinks who will need that help, and will not turn down a request or even complain about it. Skills: [list][*]Light Magic: 1 Heal (Level 1): Restore some health to a target. [*]Nature Magic: 1 Ensnare (Level 1): Uses the roots of plants to restrain targets within an area. [*]Ice Magic: 1 Frostbite (Level 1): Encases a target in ice, immobilizing it.[/list]Equipment: -Mage's Cloak -Mage's Outfit Backstory: Alia had been abandoned as an infant for unknown reasons, and was picked up by a old couple who raised her like their own. It wasn't until much later, however, that her magical talent was discovered. The old couple, fearing Alia's potential being wiped away by the Institution, urged her to keep her talent secret. Alia agreed, but when a powerful traveling mage sensed her and asked her to be his apprentice, she couldn't say no to such a tempting offer. The two traveled for a year or so, Alia learning many things on the road. Eventually they reached his hut, where Alia continued her apprenticeship. Despite living in an area with little to no neighbors, though, word managed to reach certain people, who then sent men to "talk" to them. Their escape route had also been discovered, and her master had Alia flee while he held them off, leaving her apprenticeship incomplete. Alia wandered for a time, until she finally came upon the posters for Fion's Light and the Arcane Bastion. For her, the choice was obvious. [/hider]
