Magistrix Aledori Solargift was a proud woman. Having married high within society, to a well-respected Magister, she had plans in place to carry out her goals of political control. Magic was the font and breath of High Elf society, and she wanted to be known for bearing the strongest magic casters within the high society families. When it was discovered she was to bear a child, she felt a swell of pride as she was able to maintain her duties and pregnancy. Though upon the birth of the child, she felt resentment. She had hoped for a male heir to help gain prestige. Instead, she was gifted a daughter by fate. That daughter was Brianithill. Aledori held no regards for the child, allowing hired hands to help tend to the child's needs until the day she was old enough to begin training her magic.
Bri held a large font of power within her, though the young girl often had the itch of wanderlust. The child, dressed in splendor, would often sneak out from under the watchful gaze of her guardians. She would explore among the woods of Eversong, carefully studying and sketching the herbs and flowers that littered the land around. Dirt clung to the edge of her robes and hands stained various colors from her attempt to carefully dig and move plants around. After many adventures, her mother felt the rage and disappointment at the lack of study focus. A decision made.
"You will either improve upon your skills.. Or I will marry you off like a simple doll you wish to be." Aledori hissed at the young girl.
She was obedient and focused on her studies, but took to them far too quickly then intended. Her skills were beginning to shadow her own mothers and her mind sharpened like a blade. She would use her mother's words against her, and spite her at every turn. Her mother got her wish, but it was from the corrupt genie ready to play and twist her words like a knife.
