RampionAge: 20
Personality: Rampion is a kind, gentle, but curious soul. After a life of isolation, she's desperate to learn about the world, and the people who inhabit it. However, she is also timid and easily frightened by people. She prefers to observe the situation and have things happen on her own terms, she is more comfortable that way. This may be partially why she so much prefers books to being taught things by other people, as with a book she can go her own pace and learn on her own terms. Though she doesn't know much about how the world outside works, she is hyper-intelligent, quick to learn, and extremely smart, especially when it comes to matters of magic. She is kind and loving, once she gets over her instinctual fear of other people.
Abilities/Equipment: Rampion is a self-taught wizard, with an emphasis towards healing spells and wind magic. She carries an enchanted sword, which she uses to focus her wind powers, though she has absolutely no clue how to actually fight with the thing. Were she to try, she'd be more likely to kill herself than her opponent. She also carries a leather bag over one shoulder, crossing over her chest, in which she carries a multitude of healing herbs, interesting things she finds, and an book she can get her hands on. If she becomes particularly upset by something, she will turn into a small brown bird, not unlike a sparrow. She has very little control over this, and in this form her mind becomes much simpler, more animal-like, and she only remembers bits and pieces of what she did in the form she is not currently in.
History: Rampion doesn't remember a time before The Manor. Her very first memory, at three years old, involved her Mistress, Lady Goathe, laughing at Rampion when she was trapped in her sparrow form. Rampion spent her whole life in The Manor, acting as Lady Goathe's servant when she was in human form, and hiding in the dense forest surrounding it. She would likely have flown away when she was much younger, if it hadn't been for the forcefield that marked the edge of the property, and Rampion's world. Lady Goathe was an accomplished wizard, even if she was cruel, and she kept a great many books about magic, as well as various magical trophies from her travels. If Rampion could find time in between chores, she would delve into these books, and slowly, she learned magic herself. She kept it a secret around Lady Goathe, but Rampion started using magic to help her with her chores and healing her own aches and pains.
Rampion found her own sparrow form in a spellbook when she turned 20. She had always assumed that her sparrow form was just a function of who she is, but the book informed her that it was a common curse, which would usually turn the victim into some kind of creature permanently. Rampion came to the conclusion that Lady Goathe had tested this curse on her, but it had malfunctioned, and left Rampion the way that she is now. A few days later, Lady Goathe confronted Rampion about the magic she'd been learning, and threatened to kill Rampion. In the end, Rampion broke the wards that had kept her in all her life, and fled. On her way out of The Manor, an enchanted sword, created to enhance wind, attached itself to her, so she took it with her. She is still unsure why Lady Goathe went to such lengths to keep Rampion imprisoned, or why she was cursed, but Rampion has decided that she intends to find out.
