Her student robes are perpetually rumpled, full of notes, pressed flowers, and spare bandages. Wide gray eyes that never seem to stop _listening_ — to people, to air, to things others can’t quite hear. #### **Personality & Traits** - **Personality Summary:** Soft-spoken but fiercely stubborn when it comes to helping others. The kind of student who stays up all night copying her professor’s notes and then ends up tending to everyone else’s paper cuts. Her kindness isn’t naïve — it’s deliberate. She’s already seen loss and refuses to accept that the world’s wounds can’t be mended. - **Strengths & Skills:** Brilliant grasp of healing hexes and leyline theory; a natural empath. Deep understanding of restorative rituals, though she struggles with control when emotions flare. - **Weaknesses & Flaws:** Crumbles under authority; terrified of failure. Overextends herself constantly — emotionally and magically. - **Mannerisms & Speech:** Speaks in low, careful tones like she’s afraid to startle a dream. Often doodles healing sigils absentmindedly in the air. #### **Background & Story Role** - **Backstory Summary:** Born to minor archivists in Restov, Nyssara was always the quiet one who preferred to read medical texts instead of play. She joined New Azlanti at sixteen on scholarship, quickly gaining attention for her ability to sense life energy — and sometimes _hear_ the leyline “voices” that run beneath Rivermarch. - **Current Motivations:** To prove that leyline energy can be used to _heal_ as easily as it can destroy. She hopes to earn a field position in Rivermarch’s first Leyline Wellness Initiative. - **Connections & Relationships:** - Friends (and sometimes rival) with **Thalen Mossroot**, whose experiments she often patches up. - Has a quiet admiration for **Calvir Greymantle**, who treats science like a moral equation. - Her mentor is a minor adjunct in **Gideon’s department** who pushes her toward council internships. - **Factions or Allegiances:** Student Healer’s Circle, New Azlanti Leyline Studies Program. - **Notable Items:** Her mother’s quill pen, repurposed as a focus; an unfinished thesis titled _“Vital Currents: The Song Beneath the Soil.”_ #### **Themes** - _Empathy, endurance, and the quiet cost of caring._
