Saffir Sendu

Saffir Sendu (a.k.a. Saphire)

The tavern had been oddly subdued since the thin Riza women had entered. Short curly dark hair hanging just past her chin and dark brown eyes, she wasn't all that recognizable, pretty but not overly so. And yet there was an air of anger about her, maybe she was a spy sent ahead by the Riza military to feel out the locals. Maybe she was a bandit, some simple minded thug.
No, that didn't seem right, she was too smart for that, too shrewd. Her eyes following every newcomer and a dangerous air about her when someone drew too close. She wasn't some common bandit.

Personal history

Saffir grew up in a small house separate from the bustling city her mother told stories of. The bastad child of a noble and a courtesan she was hidden away before news could spread of the nobles mistake. Her father a man high in the Queen's court ensured her mother had a modest home and a steady supply of money for food and other necessities.
On her 12th birthday her father decided that the drain on his resources was unnecessary as Saffir was old enough to fend for herself. Not long after the two were forced from the small home Saffir had been raised in and onto the streets.
By her 15th her mother was working once more as she had before Saffir's birth, and Saffir was waiting at a local tavern after the elderly owner had become unfit to do so himself. By her 16th Saffir had resigned herself to that position for the rest of her life.
By 17 her mother was dead by the hands of a client and she had found herself once more with out a home. Two months later she met a man in the tavern searching for a guide to the lower city and the entrances to sewers beneath.
Though the events that followed were rife with danger Saffir never once questioned her decision to follow the man, and later become his apprentice.

Education

Saffir was first home schooled under her mothers tutelage, taught reading and writing in the common and then in the higher noble born tongue of the Riza.
Later after leaving her country she would meet Oroc Mirukal, then Archmage of the College of Mages, and become his first apprentice, and one of the strongest mages the college has produced.

Employment

Saffir first began waiting at the local tavern when she and her mother began struggling for money during her fourteenth year. Later, after leaving and years of training under Archmage Mirukal she would work as a tutor and teacher at the College.

Saffir began her life with the dream that her father would come and sweep her, and her mother, into his family. Later with her mothers death she was instead motivated towards simpler goals, a home of her own outside the tavern she worked at and hopefully a better life than a tavern made.
Upon her apprenticeship to Archmage Oroc Mirukal she instead focused on making him proud and proving her worth as his first student.
