NAME: Sunny Newvale
APPEARANCE: Sunny's skin is a dark tan in color, her face and shoulders covered in a heavy spattering of freckles. She has bright golden eyes and the hair to match, long and wavy. Tall and thin, Sunny has the appearance of somebody who spends their time asleep on the beach rather than hitting the books. Sunny likes to keep a smile and an upbeat attitude to match her name. She typically wears a long black skirt and a dark emerald crop top, with a sheer black shawl over top. She also has heavy boots and a pair of fingerless gloves.
TRAINEE CLASS: Scholar
FIRST CLASS: Ritualist
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?: Yustava, one of the dedicated 'holy cities' within the Republic.
BIOGRAPHY: Progress, the god of advancement, of development, of growth. All things Sunny valued, all things she supported the Revotrian cause for.
Born in the city of Yustava, Sunny was raised to understand magic. Which tended to be for the best, her constitution was not suited for heavier combat, and the study of such things provided her an ample outlet for her energy. Thus, many of her early days were spent in the sunlight, nestled under trees or in a hammock, keeping up with her studies.
Her life was changed, for better or for worse, upon her introduction to the Progressive faith. The god Progress was weaved into her studies, and Sunny found herself especially attuned. Her parents and teachers were surprised at how well she adapted her work to his word, and how intently she worked to weave his teachings and his concepts into her intellectual pursuits. It was almost startling, really, how readily she worked to pick Progress up. Sunny went on to continue her pursuit of knowledge and experience, moving on to more in depth endeavors, finding herself doing low level state work for Yutsava itself.
Her tireless studies in both bookkeeping and magic served her well, catching the attention of those in Yustava connected with the 'core' of the Revotrian Republic. They claimed to value her dedication to Progress, and wanted her to work for one of their branches in magical studies. A simple research project based on Dark Magic, nothing she would be unable to handle. Ecstatic to contribute to the spread of Progress, Sunny was more than willing to accept, being moved out of the city to bigger and better places. Or so it was intended.
Nobody was quite sure what it was, really. The catalyst was something unknown to everybody but Sunny and her co-workers. But whatever the reasoning, things took a strange turn when Sunny arrived at her place of study. Her presence became grating, her words ignored. Verbal conflicts became the norm when Sunny was around. Sunny's tenacity was replaced with bullheaded stubbornness, and her work ethic shifted into an almost counter productive effort. She became difficult to work with, to the point that she was often left to her own tasks, separate from the others.
One day, Sunny volunteered to join a scouting group headed into some lands bordering a former Ilyun territory, claiming to want to bolster her studies with some 'in the field' experience. Her co-workers, seeing a chance to give themselves a break from her presence, agreed with and backed up her request. Her request was approved, and Sunny was given a minor briefing on what she was to expect from the mission. Of course, the mission was not why Sunny was there, and that was showcased when she slipped away in the middle of the night, nothing but the clothes on her back, some rations, and a couple of tomes in her possession.
