A Daughter of Dalmasca born during a tumultuous period, Petya was ever raised to be a patriot of her homeland despite Imperial occupation.

༒

༒

Retreating to the pockets in which Dalmascan Resistance gathered, many of her family members fought and fell in the subsequent uprisings that followed the conquering of the kingdom.

Judged too weak and too brittle. She would not join her kin but instead was instructed to bide her time.

༒

༒

The number of Bhaldurra dwindled frighteningly low, and with it, new instructions: To flee and carry the torch forward as their names and memories fell to wider obscurity.

To Be A Mage's Stalwart Ally

༒

^{May the Spinner Weave your Tapestry Favorably | Adventure; Combat}
Petya is not a particularly hardy combatant in close range. She may be able to sling a spell from afar, but she lacks in situations that she can't be on higher or farther ground. She is ever looking for fellow thrillseekers to go on expeditions and leves with, but her impatience may lead her to venture to dangerous locations without such.

In Pursuit of Knowledge and Strength

༒

^{Magi understand one another Best | Magicks; Research; Combat}
Wishing to rediscover and learn a lost Arcanic art or to create one not yet discovered; Petya has much ambition. Such lofty goals can be dangerous and require a hefty amount of knowledge, time, counsel, and experimentation and so, she often seeks out erudite magi and the eldritch.Practice is required as well, and as such, a sparring partner she can trust is always much sought after.

In Luster, find Enlightenment

༒

^{What memories dance within these Facets? | Research; Mercantile}
From an interest in Ivalician myths on Auracite to the curious formation of crystals by synthetic or natural means and their import to aether-manipulating: It's a given that the hedge-wizard takes a keen interest in crystals. Beyond the formation of crystals, Petya also seeks to further understand the essence and capturing of memories, and desires, stored within them.In looking to rebuild her family's coffers and reputation, as well as fund her personal research, Petya ever seeks further mercantile connections. The main product she pushes is Bhaldurra Red: A Dalmascan wine long and traditionally crafted by the family of magi and most notable for its sweeter notes and aether replenishing qualities.Her spending habits, however, are often quite frivolous and drain her reserves; from crystalline shards of varying purities and impulsive sending on ornate wizardly baubles to frequent, long-distance teleportation. - Two steps forward and another back.

Born from the Blood of the Fallen

༒

^{We Wayward Souls, Still we Forge Ahead | Exploration; Patriotism; War
Potential Pre-established Connection}
Hailing from a province and only, personally, knowing of her homeland's occupied state gives way to gnawing at her confidence in herself and those left to forge the path ahead. Forging bonds out of shared, respective hiraeth and celebration with those of Resistance and other former provincial citizens, particularly those of Bozja, Nagxia, and Ala Mhigo, comes naturally to the hedge-wizard.The Rabanastran also wishes to share the smothered traditions, folklore, and history of her motherland just as much as she enjoys hearing of others' homelands to see that they are carried onward.Serving with both Bozjan and Dalmascan Resistance forces as a researcher and war mage during the recent, final conflicts against the IVth Legion, there are few words the hedge-wizard can use to speak of her gratitude to any allies or comrades-in-arms for their assistance.

Of Countrymen and Tangled Threads

༒

^{Dalmascans truly are as Varied as their Homeland | Patriotism; Politics}
Despite fleeing some eight or so summers ago, Petya's situation prior to and during her departure allowed her to see much of the larger cities and settlements of Dalmasca.To share a tale with fellow, wayward Dalmascans is sure to bring much joy to Petya but one should never forget that a shared home does not necessarily equate to a sharing of beliefs. The in-fighting among Dalmascan Resistance cells will not simply vanish with a shared enemy defeated, and it looms in the hedge-wizard's mind often.Few compatriots, both those she has met and those not yet, recognize the name of her kin unless they familiarize themselves with circles of magi: The Bhaldurra, an esoteric family known primarily for their wine and odd, arcane practices. As secretive as they are, they commonly adopt gifted individuals and take in wards. For those more familiar, the number of Bhaldurra dwindled so low that it was believed to be another long-standing family wiped out during the subsequent uprisings that followed the Kingdom's fall to the Empire.

Bhaldurra Red

༒

"A wine by mages, for mages."Hints of citrus, spice, floral notes, and a complex blend of red fruits.Once the flavors are left to settle, there is a subtle note of herbs that is easily missed. It is notably a wine of lighter alcoholic content. That being said, one may still drink themselves into a stupor with it, as the sweet taste is awfully deceptive. For consumers with low or depleted aetherial reserves, they might find them to become replenished after drinking the wine.There it becomes evident: the wine is an ether as well.Pricing: Far below that of a Valens and competitive with local La Noscean wines.

elemental spell-stones

༒

Stored aspected spells for quick casts using a variety of gems, stones, crystals and other reagents. Available in: Levin, Ice, Fire, Earth, Water, or Wind, but with the right level of experimentation, different spell-stone spells should be able to combine to create a new spell. Potency relies on the amount of aether channeled by the wielder, equating to a higher grade of spell but makes the stones more volatile._{DISCLAIMER: These spell-stones become fragile and volatile when channeled with an intense pressure and flow of aether, meaning it may combust. Please use safely and as directions intend. Any deviation from directions is at the user’s own discretion and risk and the seller is not to be held liable for any damages. Thank you.}

dalmascan enchanted ward-stones

༒

For combat, the handheld ward-stones are available and contain limited charges of a barrier equivalent to a Shellga [Shell III] spell. Ward-stones to create miniature palings are larger and require constant incantation to have the barrier hold under constant assault.

haste enchantment

༒

Similar to materia in both appearance and steady increase of swiftness, but the medium has the slightest lean towards wind. When activating the spell, it will offer swiftness to those near as well but often shatters once the spell is released.Alternatively, this spell pattern can instead be scribed and carved upon the sole of shoes and has more stability but will be done by commission only.

lantern crystals

༒

Heatless, cool or warm lighting from crystals, perfect to place within a lantern casing for easy carrying. Inquire with the seller to imbue the crystal with a wish, or for instructions.
