The Winds and the Mage

So between Small, Gossip, our unexpectedly low Intrigue and high Diplomacy, and general wizardiness I'm picturing someone who is not necessarily bad at sneaking, but who's first impulse is to get involves in the conversation, and who brings a relentless friendliness that comes from a childhood where any major disaster was forseen and mitigated if not outright avoided by mostly benevolent authority figures
[X] Casandora
I'm proposing Casandora as a name, especially as a alternative to Cassandra on the following grounds
1) fun fantasy spelling
2) references the Azyr battle magic spell Comet of Casandora

Something like that. She's gossipy in the direct sense rather than the 'overhearing things' sense, though she's decent at eavesdropping specifically (since we get an extra bonus to that). She's also surprisingly dangerous for a tiny person. Like...she's not a great warrior, but she can keep up with much bigger and stronger people, so she's pretty scrappy.

She is a magic weasel. I like it.

a bit disappointed we can't choose Cassandra, after the greek seer. but I guess alluding to a tragic prophet whose warning were ignored isn't the best thing for our diviner

It's more that it would be a Tilean/Estalian/Bretonnian name, as opposed to an Imperial name. It would be weird for an Imperial institution to name their ward like that.

Actually very good stats. Nice.

I agree that this makes more sense for a child raised by wizards.

You're absolutely right. Celestial mage gives you +2 piety. fixing now.

Sweet. Going over the character sheet, two of our Traits are listed with incorrect effects:

Small (+1 Intrigue, +2 Martial)
Superstitious (easier rolls for peasant class diplomacy)

Small should be +2 Intrigue, -1 Martial, while Superstitious should also include +1 Piety. The final totals are now correct, the notation in the traits is just off.
