Feyren "Jinx" Silverbreeze
Silvanesti Elf Initiate of High Sorcery Moon Thief Rogue
Name: Feyren Silverbreeze, but her less reputable friends call her Jinx.
Character Concept: A versatile rogue with a blend of ranged and melee attacks, various infiltration skills, and magic to enhance her attacks and improve skill reliability.
Class: Silvanesti ElfHigh Elf Initiate of High Sorcery Moon ThiefArcane Trickster. Moon Thief is a name that is better known in Taladas, but its roots are in Ansalon with the Silvanesti. The "moon" references the three gods of magic.
Description: Feyren stands five and a half feet tall with long, dark brown hair that she wears down to the small of her back. She often binds it in a ponytail when expecting a fight to keep it out of her face. She has fair skin, just like most Silvanesti elves, unscarred despite her numerous battles and soft green eyes. Her slight but sturdy build shows little muscle despite her quick reflexes. Unless it is a formal occasion, Feyren feels most at home in a weathered suit of studded leather armor, with a dark, comfortable cloak hung around her neck. Her pointed ears are each adorned with multiple piercings, and she has a soft spot for earrings. Feyren is 114 years old.
A slim rapier hangs from a sheath at her waist, and a long dagger is snugly tucked into her leather boot. Slung across her back is an elven longbow carved from the deep ironwoods in the heart of the Silvanesti Forest. Tucked beneath her armor is a trio of holy symbols dedicated to each of the three moons.
Feyren is quiet, preferring to watch and learn from her surroundings. She is very calculated in her conversations, looking to understand before speaking. Although she is open about sharing her opinions or knowledge, the moon thief is not a leader and prefers to be someone other than the one to make a decision. Initially, she appears to be rather stand-offish but warms as she learns those around her better. Her love of knowledge makes her adept at learning secrets and uncovering mysteries.
Despite being displaced from her homeland, she is very proud of her elvish heritage and will not tolerate others belittling her people. Feyren has studied many elven traditions and carries them with her, looking to impart that knowledge to any who would listen to her tales. Although she counts herself among the Mages of High Sorcery, her first loyalty will always be to the Speaker of the Stars and Silvanesti.
Your Character’s Plothook. Jinx was chased out of Silvanesti in 349 AC when the Dark Queen's Dragon Armies marched through her homeland, destroying everything she loved. During the following chaos, she fled north, dogged by draconian soldiers and their minions, until she finally settled in Kalaman. It was a short respite from the horrors that claimed her family until the war found her as Vogler burned. With her connections, learning of an offensive at Wheelwatch Outpost was no problem. No longer content to sit and hide, it was time to fight back before more villages were put to the torch.
Past is Prologue.
Feyren was born in Silvanost, the capital of the elven nation of Silvanesti. Her parents were bookbinders and helped explore and capture important literary works of their people. Her sister, Shenarah, was born a decade later. It was a peaceful life isolated from the dangers that would be coming. Even at a young age, Feyren was restless at the stability and comfort of her life. She frequently found herself in trouble challenging authority wherever she could. Despite not wanting anything, she taught herself to steal from street vendors primarily as an adrenaline rush to see if she could. In addition, she was quick-witted, and her studies became easy for her. Finishing her work quickly meant she had more idle time, which led to more trouble. She earned the nickname Jinx by having a reputation for bad luck that followed her.
Most elven children are tested for magical aptitude, a common trait among their lineage; Feyren found it came naturally to her. This unusual combination of mischief and magic caught the attention of royal guards, who had a hand in meeting out punishments for severe crimes. At first, she thought she was in trouble, but it turned out she was being recruited! It was a small sect of scouts within the guard called the Moon Thieves. Trained first as skilled rogues to adapt to varying environments and then exploring their magical talent, siphoning the smallest fraction of magical energy from the triple moons in the sky.
Although she was never seen in the royal courts, someone in those circles was clearly pulling the strings behind the scenes. Feyren showed a strong connection to the moons of magic, and her natural intelligence made her a great fit to infiltrate the Mages of High Sorcery. She trained by the order as an initiate by day and provided information to her shadowy contacts of her elven homeland at night. Despite it being an "assignment," she enjoyed her time as a wizard and found it rewarding. It also helped to curb his childish wild streak, although not her love for adventure.
Then...it happened. A dragon army invaded her homeland. She was at the academy when the fighting began and didn't even have a chance to see if her family survived before she was ushered quickly away from Silvanost. Alone and afraid, Feyren traveled most. Remembering her estranged Uncle Analyth, the moon thief traveled north to Kalaman to hide and recover from the horrors she saw when the dragon army invaded; he begrudgingly took her in. From there, she tried to keep tabs on what was happening in the world, but most dismissed what she said as children's tales. It wasn't until she saw the flames of Vogler burning that she realized the war had caught up with her at last.
Truths, Rumors, and Lies.
- [Truth]Jinx has ties to the royal court of Silvanesti.

Include at least two of the following in your application:
Loyalties: Jinx is a Mage of High Sorcery and has been formally trained in magic by a Black-Robed wizard named Dagamier. Despite her magical talents, Feyren has never fully committed to the arcane order and has yet to take the Test. In truth, she initially only joined to act as a spy, but she was quite skilled under the tutelage of her sharp-tongued master. Her first loyalty is to the Speaker of the Stars and the court of Silvanesti, joining the ranks of the moon thieves.
Deity: Being a moon thief, Feyren reveres each of the three gods of magic to different degrees. If she had chosen one, she would have aligned more with Lunitari but could not deny a strong connection to Nuitari. Although she tends to focus her spellcasting on illusions, a darker side of her creeps out at times when it's necessary to have a deadly purpose instead of being the eyes and ears of the royal court.
Connections.
- Silverbreeze immediate family - She was separated from her sister Shenarah and her parents (Shelara and Aimar Silverbreeze) when the dragon army invaded Silvanesti in 349 AC and does not know if they are alive or dead. Her sister is ten years younger than her, and she is earning a living as a scribe. Her parents were book binders and owned a small bookstore before it was burned to ashes.
- Analyth Silverbreeze - Jinx lives with her uncle Analyth in Kalaman. He had moved here years ago, away from his brother (her father), to distance himself from his elven heritage. Unlike Feyren, he is embarrassed of his culture and does his best to blend in with the humans, including wearing hats to hide his pointed ears.
- Alhana Starbreeze - The Princess of Silvanesti (who later becomes one of the Heroes of the Lance) was among those who would give her orders on behalf of the royal court. Feyren knew her as a foppish, spoiled girl with the Speaker of the Star's ear...who was also her father. Although the two were never close and lost track of each other during the invasion, they knew each other by name.
