Name: Alice Taylor
Age: 22
Speciality: Rune magic - adaptable.
Personality: Quite odd in many ways, some thing that Alice has a quite loose grasp on social interaction, but others think she's just quirky. Known to make odd, out of place comment, interpret things very literally, and assume that people know things and terms that she does. Alice is not arrogant, but she has a habit of talking down to people who are less intelligent she is -- which is a lot of people -- without really meaning to.
"Oh, well, everyone really knows that runic magic is the way forwards - once it's fully absorbed into society, rather than just being employed by the smarter individuals, we'll all wonder what the fuss was about."
Alice's introduction to rune magic came very early on - daughter of a professor at Cambridge who specialises in it, he lauded its benefits very vocally to her. She had a privileged childhood, though she made few friends due to her oddity and her rapture with study and bettering herself, and was taken for the 'induction' that Sanctuary provides at the young age of eight. When she was seventeen, she applied to Cambridge to study Physics and Rune magic, and was easily accepted due to her spotless grades and her fascination with both subjects. As she learned more and more about runes, she decided that the most practical option would be to tattoo every rune she would ever need onto her body.
It was a painful process - spread over several months - but now near every inch of Alice's body is covered with the symbols, giving her almost as big a repertoire of spells as any regular spellcaster, without the need for incantations or silly hand gestures. She joined Sanctuary after graduating, and her intelligence and practical attitude swiftly earned her a place as a top agent.
