Ranara Duauth

PLAYLIST

In Elvish, ‘Ranara’ means ‘lost or wandering’ and ‘Duauth’ means ‘dark apparition’, thus her name means ‘lost (or forsaken) dark apparition’, -or- ‘wandering nightshade’ as in a night-blooming flower vine, depending on connotation taken.

This Elven lady wizardess has two intrinsic forms. One merely odd, and one which seems horrific.

She habituallly appears in a humanoid Elven female form with a peculiar pale bluish translucent complexion and hair like bound water. She has an obvious affinity for water, and some may think her to be an Aquatic Elf. For those who know the Elven Ranger Lady Ramana Domefarar (ramana-domefarar), Ranara looks exactly like her except for coloration, and Ranara will indeed claim to be Ramana’s half-sister. The two 'sisters' share the company of a remarkably sentient black panther, named Dae.

Those sensitive to negative energies will definitely feel something unusual about Ranara. Natural folk, animals, and knights may instinctively feel uncomfortable or something creepy about her, due to her negative energies. [I RP that dogs and wolves generally do not like her, and Guards who get close enough to feel that she is actually Shade-like (not just wearing magical shields) will potentially attack her.]

Those who are tolerant of the shadow-touched, or insensitive to negative energies, will generally think her merely strange, but not evil or threatening. Those who get to know her will find her emotionally impassive yet naturally truthful. She maintains that Truth, or the principle of Veritas, is the basis of an orderly mind. Only since she arrived in Thain has it become necessary for her to learn to not be so straightforward.

She also has a shadowy transparent ethereal form, looking just like a Shade or Ghost with an Elven shape. [Any of your characters who are fearful or intolerant of shadowy creatures such as fearsome Shades and cursed Ghosts, feel free to RP your fear and intolerance when she is in this /ghost + /shadow form, to drive her away.]

She is a member of the Greenvale School of Magick. Magess Ranara Duauth, a wizardess in general studies with emphasis in conjuration, specializing in control of water elementals and shades, negative energies and cleansing of undead propagation areas, rift stones and rift stone taint counteraction, the shadow plane and general planar mechanics, including travel between planes and universes, and crystals, including animating crystal golems.

Since when she is not deliberately assuming a solid-looking Elven female form, her 'relaxed' natural appearance is as a shadowy vaporous presence, thus she will often be seen floating shade-like around the Library and the experiment chambers. She has requested that all in the School be informed of her appearance, so as to not cause fear or attack against her.

Sometimes accompanied by an intelligent panther named Dae and/or a certain unique water elemental named Oremaa.

[SPOILER:] Ranara is actually the product of the magical intermixing of a unique water elemental and negative Rift shadow energy, creating an elemental-bodied pseudo-elemental being as a separate persona which alternates manifestation with Ramana. Not many know that Ramana and Ranara share the same existence as conjoined beings, concealment of which fact the two have cooperatively instituted.
