Story time, children, gather round...
Varlis Bannen was born to a fairly wealthy, middle class family. Nothing special, really. Everything was ordinary. Her father was a moderately wealthy merchant, so there was never any difficulty for her family when it came to such things as education, food, etcetera. Never any troubles with the law, either.... or sickness, or anything else. One might think the family was blessed!
And they'd be right, in a way.
Everyone in the family was given a little charm, and every charm protected it's holder from harm. Plain and simple! So how'd this happen? Wellll... turns out, Varlis' mother was a mage. Shocking, in a world of no magic! But, as it turned out, magic and the like was just a well-kept secret... go figure.
Not too surprising, I know, I know. Story kinda sucks so far, eh?
Regardless... there IS a point to this. That being... Varlis IS different.
See... her world went to hell one day. Almost but not quite literally. Her mother kept them safe for a while, but there was only so much she could actually do, where they were. It wound up going rather badly for most of her family.... but her mother managed to save Varlis and her little brother, hurling them through a portal across worlds. Unfortunately, which world her brother wound up on is something Varlis didn't have the slightest clue about. Still.... things only get more interesting from here.
When she turned ten, the year after being taken in by a kindly, older couple, strange things started to happen. Varlis was born a brunette, with lovely, chocolate brown hair, but not long after her birthday, she developed a rather odd black streak through it.... and not too long after that, she got a very odd visit. Something came into her room, and whispered a name into her ear in the night.... WHAT, she didn't know...
But that was the start. Knowledge, instinctive knowledge awakened by the name she was given, spurred her to action. Using a bit of sidewalk chalk, she traced a perfect circle on her bedroom floor, etching runes outside it, sealing it... not knowing why, but knowing it had to be done. Then she said the name she was given... and there was a flash of light.
And Varlis gained a familiar, and learned what she was. Her familiar, a demonic faery about 6 inches tall, filled her in on quite a few things... what she was, where she was, what happened to her. She was born a summoner, thanks to her mother, a rare combination of normal human and pureblooded mage. Her familiar was now bound to serve her, and protect her from harm, while providing her with information, and she would be able to do many other things, as well.
Needless to say, it was a bit much to take in. It really ruined her social life, too! She became the odd girl in school, who sat in a corner and didn't really participate. She lost what few friends she had, as she was too busy learning to keep up a social life. And her parents became concerned.... see, they couldn't see her Familiar. They thought she might have gone insane!
Thankfully, she pulled through. And she has since moved on!
Now twenty years old, Varlis is a well-educated, soft-spoken young woman. She never finished school, but he never really needed to, so that's alright. She moved out when she was sixteen, and has been wandering ever since, taking care of herself, and searching for information on her brother, and the rest of her family.
Standing 5'4, with a slender, moderately athletic build(she's not very strongly built, mind you... she just has a good figure since she walks everywhere), she's not very imposing. Her hair, as mentioned, is chocolate brown in color, with a black streak on her left side, right up against her face. It's an odd trait, to be sure, but rather striking, as are her eyes, which are a deep, lovely green. Her skin is slightly tanned from a lot of time spent outdoors, though she has obvious tan lines under her clothing. Typically, she wears a light, somewhat tight t-shirt, and comfortable jeans, slightly snug, showing off her legs nicely. Her shoes are typically a pair of battered sneakers, well-worn from many miles walked in them. In addition, she wears a charm bracelet on her right wrist, and a simple silver band on her left, while she carries a small rod in a specialized holster worn on her plain leather belt. Tools of the trade, you see.
Now, she wanders her world, and others, seeking answers, meeting people... learning new things. She can summon many more things than her familiar now, and she can do more than just summon. Banishing, exorcising, and some evocation are all within her power, though she is rather limited. As well, she can cast sleep spells with relative ease.
