Personal history
Born on the road to a mother and father who were part of an adventuring party, she remembers little of her time out there. Her father decided relatively quickly that a child needs more stability and safety than this life can offer and, despite begging her mother to come with them, ended up leaving as a single father for the city of Edjudence.
Her father ended up married a few years later to a devout Touch believer, Harva Shallows, a woman who Orainia sees as her true mother over the one who abandoned her.
Orainia spent her childhood in and out of trouble. She was arrogant and naive and ended up in trouble with the guards once or twice. It was Harva Shallows who set her back on the right path, who had patience with her when her father would not, who encouraged her to put time into the crafts she was so fond of rather than getting into fights and chasing a life she was so not made for.
Orainia was scouted by the Assassin's Guild after some of her creations caused a stir in the black market as she was trying to sell them on. She works under Fyr but sees her younger self in him. She feels protective of him and hopes to reign him in a little, to help him understand that he is not invincible nor immune to the cruelties of the world.
Recently, her step-mother was granted a vision. Presumably from one of the gods. She had been prone to minor visions most of her life but this one was bigger. Orainia was there when it happened. Harva spoke of a sadist who sought to bring ruin upon Ascium. This shook her mother and sent her into a sickness she has yet to recover from. Orainia believes this monster to be the mage she has seen plastered over the city or at least another mage. Her father spoke much of the power and danger her birth mother could bring with her uncontrollable magic and was always thankful that Orainia did not inherit that despite inheriting her reckless nature so she found it easy to believe that all mage's posed a threat to society. Seeing how this vision has affected her mother has strengthened Orainia's resolve to work with the Mage Hunters and the Crown at the very least to stop this threat.
Employment
In terms of work, she likes to apply her contraptions. Often setting traps or deadly puzzles for her victims to stumble into. She loves working with others to gather inspiration from them and create mechanical devices based on the people she spends time with.
Morality & Philosophy
She does not trust mages to be safe in the public space after everything she has heard about her own mother and the mages her father has had to deal with in his adventuring years.
