Appearance
Agender half-elf with an earth-genasi cast, cracked ammonite-pattern skin across the shoulders, collarbones, and forearms, moonglow ammonite eyes that seem to catch the light from within, and silver elf hair with a single paler silver streak falling through the fringe. The eyes are monolid and calm, the nose is broader and more stone-sculpted than most elves, and the whole face has a serene, tidal stillness. They wear layered black robes with black accents, tailored like a funeral scholar's regalia, and carry themselves with the quiet weight of someone who belongs equally to court halls and ancient shorelines.
Mannerisms
They touch the cracked ammonite plates at the throat when thinking, speak softly but with deliberate pauses, and tilt their head as if listening for waves in distant stone. When irritated, they smooth a sleeve seam instead of raising their voice.
Personality
Quietly exacting, observant, and unexpectedly tender toward anyone treated like an object instead of a person. They favor measured speech, elegant solutions, and a dry wit that appears only after trust has been earned. They dislike performative grandeur, even though they were raised inside it, and they prize competence so highly that they often mistake calm for virtue.
Ideals
Truth should be carved cleanly, like stone under a chisel. Status is useful only if it can be turned into responsibility, and magic is most worthy when it protects memory, identity, and the powerless.
Bonds
They keep their house signet sealed in wax inside the lining of their robe, not out of sentiment alone, but because one day they mean to reopen the family vault and decide which traditions deserve to survive.
Flaws
They cannot resist correcting other people's logic, especially when they are frightened, grieving, or wrong. In a room full of tension, they become colder rather than kinder, because they trust precision more than comfort. They also secretly fear being seen as a decorative noble pretending to be a scholar, so they overcompensate by turning every conversation into a test of wit or pedigree.
Quirks
Background
Selmira Vey was born with salt in the blood and stone in the skin, a child of a minor house that prized ancestry almost as much as influence. Their elven line brought poise and long memory, while an older earth-touched strain in the family left ammonite fractures under the skin and a strange habit of dreaming in tides. In the manor's library, Selmira learned that every family ledger was really a spellbook in disguise, a list of who owed whom, what history could be edited, and which names were powerful enough to become reality. They became a wizard not to escape noble duty, but to understand the architecture beneath it. At seventeen, Selmira uncovered a sealed vault of ancestral sea-stone tablets and copied their formulas by lamplight in black robes borrowed from the mourning closet, because they preferred the silence of funerary cloth to the bright vanity of court. Their first evocations were not fireworks, but precise fractures in reality, a summoned burst of heat to crack a jealous rival's mirrored prison, a thunderclap that shattered a stained-glass oath chamber, and a patient study of protective magic that could keep a mind intact when family politics turned cruel. They now travel with one foot in nobility and one in the quarry, searching for lost magical lineages and the rumored moonlit ammonite that, according to their dreams, can reveal the true shape of a soul.
“They became a wizard not to escape noble duty, but to understand the architecture beneath it.”
