Kasala's father chose to be non-traditional, choosing to marry a sorcoress he had formed a centuries-long bond with. Kasala was largely spared the fate of tieflings, but her hair and eyes betray her talent readily. Unlike her autumn-haired parents, Kasala's locks are distinctly violet, her eyes a pale lilac. She stands at a middling height for women in her family, but she stands out from her cousins at court for not just her hair, but for her figure as well. Kasala favors dresses and robes with slink to them, all the better for accenting her curves and the swell of her bosom. While she might not have the most forceful of presences, she knew how to catch eyes and lure attention to her--often to the jealousy of her cousins and other women at court. Her style is of a subtle grace, favoring single, solid color attire that let her body speak for itself. Kasala allows herself a few fine adornments, namely a fine golden hair clasp and earrings. While traveling she favors a violet cloak she can easily wrap around herself.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> One of the nicer adjectives Kasala's cousins would use to describe her would be 'impish'. While a capable flirt, Kasala only teases people she knows and knows well. At court she carried with her an image of a dark seductress, but she only played with this to annoy her extended family and to strictly have fun. While she wouldn't have the word to name it herself, Kasala is a demisexual, finding only sexual interest in others only when she has built a substantial bond with them first. Her mission at thwarting cultists is her current love and like anything else she has turned focus to in her life, Kasala pursues it relentlessly. A self-described pragmatist, Kasala hardly has time for the impractical or the convoluted, choosing instead solutions to problems that require either the least effort, least moving parts, or both. <br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong> The Lufarens are an old high elven family that claims a lineage stretching as far back as the forgotten age. They proudly assert to be direct descendants to one of the original warders that sealed away Gaularuthor of the End. As such, Kasala was born into the profession of wardstone guardian. Kasala was raised in The Court City, where the Lufarens keep a ornate, though ultimately showy estate. While recent generations of the family had leaned heavily into its noble ranking and indulged in opulence, Kasala's father set a course correction for the family that is still resented by the lesser branches. With the steady rise of the Cult of the Dragon, Kyrtaar Lufaren leaned into sacred duty and shepherded his daughter into the same. <br/><br/>Kasala had no want for mentors or instructors as her magical talent blossomed in her late 60s. She spent the next half of her lived life refining her spellwork under the guide of her father and mother and several of their most loyal retainers. Her schooling had instilled in her that magic was meant to be graceful, not just in its weaving, but in its use. Evocations were taught to her as necessary vulgarities, but Kasala's heart always swelled when she sent dueling opponents flying with a well timed wave of thunder. Her tutors would guide her toward abjuration as her chief school of study--all Lufaren wardstone guardians focused intently on protection magics and Kasala's study was no different, but she readily sought the theories and practical applications of other schools of magic in her free time.<br/><br/>The Lufarens are part of a larger society of high elven mages who have tasked themselves with the protection of one of the wardstones know as the Society of the Barrier. Until recently, Kasala was content that the measures her order had in place to safeguard the stone was sufficent. The location of the stone was a tightly kept secret and its magical and physical fortifications know only to the highest ranking members of the order. And then news came to The Court City that what had been twelve wardstones had been reduced to eleven. <br/><br/>Kasala had been one of the first of several in the society to argue that sitting pretty and passively observing the cult's movement was no longer enough. The oldguard of the order was ever mindful of the pervasive presence of the cult and like many other rulers and organizations did not want to draw their ire too openly. Kasala called the leaders of her order cravens, her own father included. An active defense was required; they had to meet the cult in the field and deny them whatever advantages or resources they sought. Kasala and others sharing a like mind were branded as reckless and bloodthirsty, but she stuck to her notion of sitting idle and waiting for trouble to knock on their doorstep was hardly a solution at all anymore.<br/><br/>And so the so called 'Destructionists' faction of the Society of the Barrier informally drafted their charter of protecting not just the wardstone under the Society's protection, but all wardstones from the grasp of the cult. Kasala laments the name that has become the banner of the splinter faction, as it was cumbersome and ultimately misleading. Nonetheless, she has devoted her heart and mind toward rooting out the Cult's intentions in whatever region she finds herself in.<br/><br/>The story will likely start with her following a lead to Dagheim, where she hears a Cult cell is after not something, but someone. <br/></span></span></span></span>
