Brief Description of Persona:
Philea is petite to the extreme and beyond
fragile. She is barely four feet tall, she would be slightly taller except
her back is hunched over from old age and turns in the mines. She has bright
white hair, deep brown eyes and skin so pale it is doubtful it has ever seen
the light of day. Her skin is wrinkled and has a few age spots.
Philea is an old woman set in her ways.
She will adapt to change if it is required of her but she does not seek new
ways or improved ways on her own instead she does things like she has always
done them until she is told to do otherwise. She keeps to herself with only
her wher and firelizard for company. If asked for advice or wisdom she will
talk the person's ear off.
Brief Description of History:
Philea was born and bred a miner. She was always
small and fragile as a child. This at first posed no problems as it was
ideal to send her into small spaces. She spent her entire apprenticeship
changing glows and setting, checking and emptying tunnel snake traps. Unable
to perform any of the hard labor required of a miner she learned everything
about the craft but never experienced it. When she was 20 turns she was over
due to walk the tables but could not perform the tasks required. So the hall
decided to she if she could be a wher-handler. Philea returned with Phisk
and made the perfect search and rescue team with her ability to crawl into
small spaces and his night vision. She retired when she was 60 turns and now
she lives in a small cave left over from a mined out shaft with Phisk and
Dek. For the last nineteen turns she has kept to herself and took on the
night hours of Phisk and hardly ever leaves her den when the sun is out.
This lifestyle has caused her eyes to reject the sunlight almost as much as
her whers. Since hardly anyone ever sees her rumors have circulated about
her and she is feared by apprentices who dare each other to go knock on her
door as a sort of rite of passage.
Description of Wher:
Phisk is shy and enjoys the solitude that
Philea shares with him. He used to love people and exploring the minds at
night when he was younger but now in his old age he rather likes the quiet
life he leads. He is a dark midnight blue which makes him very hard to see
at night which is when most people see him. However his eyes are rather
large for his size and the changing colors make them easy to see.
Description of Pet:
Dek is a curious firelizard who flies all over the place
during the day letting Philea see through his eyes what goes on when she is
awake and cares to. He is a light sky blue that makes him almost invisible
when flying through clear skies but stands out when perched in trees, rocks
or the ground and when he flies into the kitchens and harasses the drudges.
