A lean young human with restless eyes, dark hair that never quite stays combed, and ink smudges on his fingers from constant note-taking. He dresses like a traveling performer who borrowed a scholar's coat, with a few embroidered patches, a practical satchel, and a worn lute strap crossing his back beside his spellbook.

Curious, earnest, and a little overwhelmed by the size of the world, Rhapsody approaches people the way he approaches spellbooks, with patient attention and a determination to understand. He wants to help, but he also wants to know why things are the way they are, and he is happiest when he can turn confusion into clarity.

Rhapsody Reed was born on the road between applause and thunder. His father was a bard who could turn a muddy village square into a concert hall with nothing but a grin and a stringed instrument, while his mother was a druid who read weather in the bend of grass and spoke to the old places as if they were kin. He grew up with music on one side and wild magic on the other, surrounded by people who seemed to know exactly who they were. Rhapsody, however, never did. He loved the certainty of formulas, the elegance of sigils, the way a spell could be understood, measured, and mastered. So when the time came to choose his path, he chose wizardry, not because it was expected, but because it was his own.
