Iolanthe Teriae - Profile

Task 2 for Profile

My lovely Illusionist, Lady Sorceress Iolanthe Teriae. Her name is pronounced Eye-Oh-Lan-They Teh-ree-ay

Iolanthe is a feminine given name, derived from the Greek "ιολη" (iole) for "violet" and "ανθος" (anthos) for "flower".
It is also the title of a comic opera by Gilbert and Sullivan - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iolanthe

And yeah . . . she doesn't wear undies. Long hair censoring for the win!
The three words that describe her personality are - Loyal, Vain, Confident

Here are the stats for her -

When Iolanthe was 25, Gaetan, cousin to King Raghnall, took over the throne after Raghnall and Eriantielle were reportedly killed by assassins from a neighboring country. Lord Wizard-Healer Tiernan and Iolanthe were accused of conspiring with the assassins and had to flee the kingdom to avoid being executed. That was the official story, here is the real story as told by Tiernan -  Tiernan's Version (SPOILERS!)My name is Tiernan Crouthe.  I am a Wizard-Healer. I was the King’s Own Wizard for King Raghnall of Kentrell-by-the-Bend. I may be a criminal, but I am not a murderer or even an assassin.
My name and the name of Lady Sorceress Iolanthe Teriae have been maligned by the High King, Gaetan. We are both in hiding and intend to stay that way until our deaths or the overthrow of Gaetan, whichever comes first.
I write this missive to clear our names and to reveal the true criminals responsible for the deaths of our beloved King and Queen. May it come into the hands of those who can use the knowledge I impart to raise a force of rebellion against the self-styled High King.
I first wish to make clear that there is no reasoning for my being branded the murderer of my two greatest friends. Queen Eriantielle was both a friend and classmate of mine from the High Forest Magic School (a place that I have heard recently has been burnt to the ground and whose teachers and pupils have been hun

That dagger you've seen her holding is her wand. It's something that most of the mages in my world have. It is part of their final test as a mage to make a wand they can use to assist them with their magic and as a place to store their power when needed, made of metal because it is a fantastic conductor of magic. There are three reasons for the stiletto like blade of the wand: 1) The sharp point helps in aiming the spells, 2) Certain spells require the caster's own blood, 3) It can be used as an emergency defense in the event that the mage is out of power. Wands are usually very ornate as well as being functional, every one unique as their creator/bearer. Wands are so tied to their creator that they can only be used by the one who made it. The gems help with magical storage and are large and polished smooth. Facets tend to make magic go all over the place and are not desired on wand gems (or any magical item with gems for that matter). I'll provide a close up of the wand for the wardrobe task.

If you've made it to the end of this, I have another treat for you. Go back to the "Guess Who" picture , I've added a little bit of writing to the artist's comment on there to let you know exactly what is going on
