Galantha Nival

What is reasonable public knowledge

She's a halfling female ice mage. This much is true. Her name, which is elven for Snowdrop, may be true. She claims to have come from way up north, more specifically Ivinia except that she seems a bit less knowledgeable on the Inuit lifestyle, which, if she grew up there, she should know. That and given her skill set means this may not be true. She claims to have seen the Northern Lights on Alusia and gone swimming under ice, which may be true as she has vivid memories of doing this, but maybe this wasn't on Alusia.

She speaks and writes elven very well, which seems to suggest she was raised by elves and elven is her native language. She also knows Pasifikan and Common but stumbles over Halfling. She is a skilled swimmer and freediver, and uses her ice magic to make ice treats such as snow cones, flavoured fruit ice blocks, ice cream, gelatos and sorbets, She is also familiar with the uses of chocolate and will often coat her frozen confections in it. Unlike other halflings, she is not that fond of cream buns, preferring fruits, especially berries, either fresh or frozen. Porridge, cheeses, various teas, and preserved meats are also favourites, although recently, she has gone off the thought of 'sausages'. She refuses to say why but blushes a lot.

Besides freediving, her other hobbies are stargazing and music. She actually has 'perfect pitch' and hearing her sing in elven is a treat, even though she is a bit shy of singing in public.

She will admit, when pressed, that, yes, she spent some time in Pasifika, training under Veor. For some reason, her background records are sealed by Guild Security but she is not pacted nor under the influence of any deity like entity. Could she had come through one of the portals on Palaeolithica and on to Pasifika? Or could she have been raised by the short elves in the southern regions of Zeyland or even further south. Either is a possibility but neither her or Guild Security are saying.

Usually she goes by the name 'Snowdrop' as that is the common translation of her elven name.

Major Items

• Brownie Favour - This small, carved piece of wood contains brownie script naming the holder as a friend to brownies. Other brownies will recognise this as written by a brownie and may find favour with the holder (GM discretion)
• Ring of Water Creation - This silver magical ring must be worn for an hour to attune to it and use its magic. If removed the attunement is lost and must be work for another hour to reattune. An attuned wearer may use the ring, at the cost of 2 ft, to trigger a R9 Water Creation (G-12) with a BC of 70%. If a roll of 00% is ever made a single Geyser appears in the wearers hex (see Geyser (S4) at R10 effect for the effect of the single Geyser), and the ring is destroyed.
• Masterwork Dagger - This silvered dagger has been created on a magical forge, but is not way magical itself. The pommel of the weapon has the runes of its maker Bardun Stormbranch. It has been crafted to add 10% to strike chance and +2 damage. Carrying this will reduce spell base chances by 10%
