Dorcha Trodaire
"The pure and kind heretic."
Dorcha Trodaire
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
She has short, pale blonde curly hair, green eyes, and a hand print burn scar on her face. She's small and petite, and she would have been considered quite pretty if it wasn’t for the hideous scar on almost half her face. She wears a long, black cloak and Hood to try and hide most of her appearance from prying eyes.
Identifying Characteristics
Dorcha carries a large scar of burned flesh on her face in the shape of a hand. The skin is malformed and irreversibly damaged. This mark brands her as what she is and makes sure that she remembers her past. Dorcha often casts spells to disguise herself in public.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Dorcha left her cave after the events, and injured and sick, wandered through the snowy woods until eventually passing out in the snow. The next thing she knew, she woke up in a small single room home made cabin, with bandages around the scar on her face and various salves and water nearby. She had been found by an old mountain man, a hermit alone. He had brought her home and healed her. He didn't talk much, but he let Dorcha stay there. He never really pried too much into how she had ended up that way, and for the few things he did ask she claimed to have no memory of her past life. Her stay turned much longer, as he taught her how to live in the mountains. How to find and grow food, start fires, do the chores. For two years they were each other's only companions. Having free time and being allowed to wander alone, Dorcha practiced her magic at a distance, careful not to let him know. She mostly did it to keep it from building up and releasing in wild magic surges. They were quite close, but quietly. Dorcha didn't learn his name until almost the end of two years, Riegel Yoman. He became ill and he finally told her his story, how he had lost his wife and three daughters, 18 14 and 12, to the same illness, and how it made interactions with the rest of humanity feel empty. He eventually gave up everything else about his life to live isolated in the woods, and how glad he was she had come to keep him company. After learning this, she confessed her own past to him. She has no idea how he felt about it, as he went quiet after hearing it. The next day, he gave her a large black cloak, and a box of books on the history of their world. He told her for her own good, she should stay in his cabin in the woods, isolated. Less likely to be found. But if she needed to leave for any reason, she would need to know why people felt the way they did about her. The next day he was dead, and Dorcha buried him in his garden, and carved his name into a rock as a tombstone. Her stay in his cabin only lasted about a month, before it became clear to her she was not capable of living in isolation. Despite the risk, she needed people. She also took this time alone to read the books given to her by Riegel. She made a quick bag of what supplies she could, took a map of Avalon from one of the books, and she began the journey down the mountain and into towns. She was nomadic, surviving off the land in between towns. With little money she depended on the hospitality of those people. She wouldn't stay in any one town very long to lower the risk of being caught using the magic she had to practice to keep it controlled, and if she was discovered by any villagers and usually forced out of the village she'd 'x' out the area of the map and avoid going near it and even to neighboring towns in case someone was passing through. She would always stop by any free library a town had if it did, and study the history of arcane magic, Gods, and general history. This is when she finally came up with her plan, to save New Rodor and prove arcane magic could be good once and for all.
Education
She was educated by a hermit named Riegel Yoman hidden in the Draco Mountains.
Failures & Embarrassments
- She considers not fighting back at her family's massacre a failure
- She traveled between many small towns, and often became sort of close to some locals she also helped out on occasion, ones that would usually be the ones to offer her their generosity. There was once a boy her age, that she became particular close too. But one day he saw her practicing her magic, and ran from her in fear. She never went back to that town or the neighboring ones for fear he told someone, and it's sad for her to think about
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
She wants to prove arcane magic can be used to do good, and she wants to clear Yharm of the darkness within it to undue the “crimes” done by arcane magic users.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
She's good at reading and writing, since she did grow up with arcane magic and that's a big part of a lot of it. She can also preform basic survival skills since she learned it as well as herbcraft from Rigel. She's really bad at telling when other people are manipulating her, since she's gullible and naive.
Likes & Dislikes
She likes her pet rat Herald, she plays with him to unwind. Also she needs people and human interaction, she loves talking to and getting to know people and learning about people also calms her down
Vices & Personality flaws
Dorcha can be very gullible and easily finds empathy with almost all living things. She tends to ignore flaws, evils and negative aspects of others if they mean well. She is especially impressionable when it comes to contact with other Arcane users.
Social
Family Ties
While Dorcha belived her commune was her true family, her only recent blood relations where her mother Dianae Trodaire, and Domus Trodiare.
Religious Views
Dorcha rejects the gods. She believes they convinced the world to depend on them for their abilities and magic, so when the humans found other ways they 'threw a fit' and dammed the rest of the race for the actions of the few. Her parents were devout and had no choice in their powers yet they where killed for who they where. She believes the and the churches are as unjust and cruel as the petty gods who govern them.
Dorcha wouldn't mind gods from other parts of the world if they didn't think she should die for who she is, but she doesn't think about them often.
