Sellen de Ral

Sellen de Ral is a scout and Night mage formerly in the employ of House Ral, one of the Lord Houses during the Draconic Wars.    After being captured and forced to enter the Dragon's Dream to have a chance of survival, Sellen wakes in the modern age to find both her family and people gone.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

While the Dream sustaned her life, it did so only barely.   Sellen's body is severly malnourished and weak to the point that she's barely able to move or speak when she first awakes.

Facial Features

Slightly scaling skin surround her eyes. Sellen is forced to hide her appearance for fear of others realizing her lineage.

Identifying Characteristics

Aside from her colorless hair, Sellen sports the slightly pointed ears that are typical for those of Draconic lineage. This often causes others to confuse her for an elf, which she tries to use to her advantage.

Special abilities

Sellen is an accomplished Night mage as proven by her ability to keep herself alive for centuries via the Dragon's Dream, a spell considered to be the peak of Night magc.   Use of her dagger allows her to channel her magic and perform feats such as pin targets' shadows and better regulate her mana usage.

Specialized Equipment

Daggers are Sellen's weapons of choice. The dragonsteel dagger found in the prison she was kept in allows her to channel and focus her magic, granting her more combative uses of the usually illusion-focused Path.

Mental characteristics

Education

Sellen was trained in Night magic, close combat, and stealth by her adopted family of House Ral to act as a scout.

Mental Trauma

Her capture and subsequent imprisonment by the dwarves.   Sellen acquired vital intelligence about the dwarven weapon's trade, but was discovered before she could escape the city. Once imprisoned, she was interrogated while her magic was suppressed.   Eventually, she was simply left to rot in her cell with neither food nor water to sustain her.   Left with no other option of survival, Sellen resorted to casting the Dragon's Dream on herself to place herself in suspended animation in the hopes of rescue one day coming.   The ritual was a success, but it would be centuries until rescue finally came for her. By the time she awoke, she found herself in an unfamiliar era believing herself to be the last of her kind.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Survival and freedom.   Sellen is desperate to learn what happened following her capture and if there are any other surviving dragons left in Vestria. She is not unaware of how low the odds are of finding more of her people are and makes her alternative goal to at least live her life freely, refusing to let herself be imprisoned again.

Social

Mannerisms

Sellen displays a brusque, cynical personality.   Even before her capture, a part of Sellen often considered that House Ral only adopted her in the hope of bolstering their standing via the introduction of Draconic blood into their family line.   Following her awakening, Sellen struggles with adapting to the current era, often noting how far behind civilization is compared to the past as humanity seems to live in the vestiges of the dwarven kingdoms and have only matched a fraction of their technological progress.
