[That is all she can ever be— which is to say she doesn't consider herself to be all that interesting on her own, but his intent expression says he feels otherwise.]
Some years ago, our star suffered a calamity— one of many it has seen, but the only one in my lifetime. It was only through the deeds of heroes willing to put their lives on the line that it survived, but it changed the way I looked at the world. I lost my mother during all of that, but she had always done her very best to help others, even encouraging me to become a conjurer when she thought I had talent for it so that I could do the same in my own way.
[Her smile falters, just a little.]
With her gone, I first thought to take over her apothecary and continue helping the locals as she always had, but Gridania has no shortage of healers. I thought I could do something more if I left home. Needless to say, I never expected it would take me down the path it did. I never thought myself to be anyone of consequence. I didn't want to become a hero— only to do my part. Heal those who were under-served, or who didn't have the luxury of being able to seek out aid for themselves.
