[color=5D588A][b]Magic Class:[/b][/color] Runecrafting
[indent]Runecrafters already have a smaller mana pool than average, but Emrin's is especially small. She makes up for this by specializing in spells that are built on top of others' spells to strengthen them. She will also write spells for other people to activate/cast. Emrin is slightly obsessed with efficiency and always makes an effort to cater each of her spells toward each person. The better she knows your magic, the better the spells she writes for you will be. She also adept at shielding. In order to save mana on her shields, she specializes in making very specific shields that can only block one or two things. Emrin uses a staff for a casting aide and her element is air.[/indent]

[color=5D588A][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Emrin is extremely pessimistic. Her motto is that you have no expectations, then you will either always be right or pleasantly surprised. Among the other Runecrafters and her classmates, she is somewhat infamous for constantly scowling. She is very blunt with her words and doesn't hold back on what she thinks.  She has an obsessive personality and often will focus all of her attention on her current project/task at the expense of other things in her life, including her own personal health.

Emrin loves magic and is fascinated with the way it works. Her goal is to eventually become a magical researcher at Isunia, and possibly, eventually, a professor. She is an extreme perfectionist when it comes to spells, and so only has a single shielding spell carved on her staff. She is constantly revising spells to make them as efficient as possible.

[*]She always carries a journal and pen with her just in case she can't work out a magical calculation in her head.
[*]She does not eat seafood
[*]She's fairly skilled at combat with her staff. Since she has very little mana, she thought it was important to be able to defend herself should she run out

[color=5D588A][b]History:[/b][/color] 
Emrin was born to an average middle class family in Yoendra and her life was fairly uneventful. Her parents discovered she was a Runecrafter early but did their best to keep it hidden, in fear of slave traders. However, when she was 10 years old, her neighbors sold them out. Her home was attacked and the slave traders captured her after killing her parents and younger sibling. Luckily, she was rescued by Isunia before she could be sold, and has since lived in the school. 

For the first year or so, Emrin resented Isunia for not coming to help her earlier and possibly saving her family. However, she has since grown to think of Isunia as her new home and is now extremely grateful to them for rescuing her.
