Personal history
Nomi was born is Phandalin and has llived there her entire life. She has parents and a little brother. Her parents used to be librarians in Neverwinter but since having her they decided to move to a smaller town and focus on their research. She has always been encouraged to study and try various areas of expertise to see what she enjoys the best. After the age of ten she has often accompanied her parents on trips to bigger towns when they have had to collect further reading or give presentations about their findings. This gave Nomi a chance to also explore the vast amount of books and learn to speak many languages. On her free time she has enjoyed helping her neighbours with various daily tasks and chatting up the townsfolk on the street.
One day when she was 11 years old, she was exploring their attic to find a particular book on alchemy her father needed. After poking around and pulling tens of books from the shelves, she found a peculiar looking notebook. This book included strange deciphers and drawings she did not understand. At the front, however, was her grandmother's name. Eager to learn more, as her parents rarely spoke of her deceased grandma she tried to find books about this strange language in their home and visits to libraries. Soon she discovered this language was draconic and spent the next months teaching it to herself and translating this notebook. It was soon evident that this booklet was about magic and even had a few spells written inside. Despite her extensive education, her parents had never taught her anything like this and preferred more scholarly subjects such as mathematics, physics and geography.
During their next visits to the libraries of Neverwinter and others, Nomi tried to especially find books about spellcasting, for what could be more interesting to a child than magic. Through years of practice with the help of her grandmother's notebook, Nomi has been able to learn a few spells herself and start her own spellbook. She has practiced in secret as she has not wished to draw attention from a group of ruffians called the Redbrands. Only her parents know of her interest in the arcane. During the Redbrand invasion, Nomi has tried to help and protect her neighbours to the best of her abilities.
