Liesa Tomlinson

"I am not a monster, I am not a monster. I was touched by the Fae but I am not a monster. I protected the people of Eel's End when no one else would. Me, my brother, and my dear friends Ivellios and Drard. We helped the people, not you, not the military. So tell me templars, where are you when the faithful need you. Because you were no where to be found."

Liesa a few months out after her and her friends rooted out the threat of the Slaan Hatchery, and wiped out the Slaan presence near Eel's End along the southern banks of Lake Ishi, speaking to a templar confronting her and her companions after approaching their camp one evening.

Physical Description

Body Features

Liesa looks much like her twin brother, shockingly so, other than her violet eyes and and curly blond hair. The two have a similar facial structure and similar built, though Liesa shows as feminine in shape more naturally than her brother, even with all the efforts he'll put into his disguises sometimes. She dresses simply, breeches, grey cotton tunic, and has no tattoos or scars of any obvious nature. However she wears a pair of thin black silk gloves almost religiously, and this is because this is where her power has marked her. Her right and left hand have spiderwebbing lines of silver and blue, in spiraling and web like patterns.

Facial Features

Her violet eyes are soft, and friendly, but with an edge to them. Her face looks similar to her brother's, and like him, from him, she wears a bit of confidence and cockiness even. One lesson Alexi taught her that she's carried with her is that if you act normal and act like you belong, you can fool a great many people. She has a bit of a softer and more feminine face than her brother as well. She wears a confidence she does not feel very often, however, given the nature of her...condition.

Special abilities

Liesa is blessed (or cursed depending on your opinion) with the Touch of Arcanis, and is not a magister nor a student. She is a Shaman, Fey-Touched in fact. She communes with Fae every night in her dreams, though she's never told even her brother the full truth of her powers.

Apparel & Accessories

She dresses simply, and like Alexi, she wears a blacked out cloak, to help her hide in the dark and in shadows. Her and Alexi have always valued subtlety and being unseen and unnoticed

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Liesa and her brother Alexi are orphans to the best of their knowledge. Their mother died giving birth to them, and their father was lost at sea twelve years ago, leaving them orphans to the best of their knowledge. Of the pair, Liesa is the cautious one, the careful one, as one might expect, given she is an apostate. Her magick began to show itself very young, and given her fear and behavior towards the idea of the Magisterium and losing her brother by being cooped up in a 'school' that she views as little better than a prison.

She is fae-touched, her magickal powers coming from some small amount of latent fae blood within her. She has been studious and experimental but carefully so, avoiding notice as best she could. Her brother meanwhile was working for the Cephla to support her and himself. However almost a year ago, according to Alexi, the Cephla tried to use her, falsifying letters and other documentation to try and get a magister arrested. He was paid handsomely to plant the false informaton. However something told him to look at the sealed documents.

When he'd come to where the pair had been staying, Liesa knew before he spoke that they'd be taking to the road, leaving Port Renis, potentially for good. When he'd told her what was going on, she'd been furious, but Alexi had calmed her down before she'd done something she'd regret, reminding her that if the Cephla knew that meant others would know if they didn't already. They couldn't stay. She had to focus. They went to ground and got out of the city. They'd been on the run ever since in one form or another, as Alexi's prediction became reality. Twice now they'd almost been caught on the roads only to avoid the confrontation, just barely.

Alexi hadn't been far off you see. Within but three months, they came upon the information that local churches had put out a bounty for her head, on offer to templar or regular folk alike. Its why her hair is blond, and why she and her brother do not spend very long in any one place nor are either of them very trusting.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Liesa lives for herself and her brother, who she knows sees her as his whole world. She also loves her two companions, Ivellios and Drard, whom she sees as family. Mostly however she is motivated to overcome the stigma. To prove someone like herself does not have to be evil. She doesn't have to be making deals with dark powers from beyond. Being fae-touched doesn't mean it has to be a fell fae, one of the faellen kin. Though in some of her dreams sometimes she wonders.....

Social

Speech

Liesa is more softly spoken and generally more approachable and less cocky or abrasive than her brother. She isn't as socially skilled as he is, but Liesa is just more mild mannered and approachable most of the time. Like her brother, she has that notable, but not overly thick accent to her voice, with a sort of tropical tempo and heat to the tone and rhythm.
