N P C: Vesta Marcella
Details
Race: Rathari (Beastalt)
Age: 78 Years
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 130 Lbs
Occupation: Traveling Teacher
Relation to PC: Mentor
NPC Type: Personal NPC
Influence: 3
Description:
Five feet and eight inches of rickety crone, Vesta is surprisingly limber for her age. Wearing an elaborate purple, shamanistic veiled robe with golden accents, she appears regal and seems to convey an aura of wisdom about her. The painted yellow markings upon her face give further credence to this quality. Beneath the shawl, she is a short-furred feline standing upon two legs, with thin spindly limbs and a narrow, waspish tail with claws she's not afraid to use on those who would dare not strike her back.
From a young age, Vesta was a wry, spry, traveling fry. Her exploits are countless, her stories detailed and without end. She has seen battles, fostered and lost loves, and explored her Purpose to the ends of the world and back. In her youth, Vesta had aligned herself with various organizations seeking to better the world with magickal occultism, only to find her efforts misguided--the corruption and hubris present within the hearts of mages tended to run afoul of the common folk. Her Purpose was to set free those oppressed beneath the boots of their greaters, and she has been pursuing this ever since. The only thing to change was how she pursued this; in her old age, she prefers to guide those who align with her philosophies, and Alphonse happened to be one such prospect.
Vesta had shared many stories with Alphonse many years prior, helping her to develop with empathy rather than being closed off to the world. Now, Alphonse values her council, and seeks out her opinion on many things she might be completely lost about resolving. She keeps many secrets, and while her knowledge is vast, she is far too old to be out fighting battles like her younger years.
Vesta spends much of her time as a traveling private tutor to young children, or helping to mediate in problematic situations where Alphonse's personality gets her in trouble. Preferring to stay on the road, she sometimes follows Alphonse to places that interest her, sometimes not. Regardless of Alphonse telling her where she is going or not, she and Vesta tend to meet on the road at random intervals, to the point that Alphonse feels the old lady is stalking her.
