Connection with paired character: Devika hired Roland as a bodyguard, after he rescued her from attack in her father's lands. Even though their original contract is over, she is glad to work with Roland 
on a new journey. She would like to consider them friends, maybe partners, but is unsure of how he feels about the matter.

Fantastico!
History: Devika's father, Reginald, was a human scholar traveling the world. He met Devika's mother, An'ika during part of his journey to Grah-Nglak. She was a warrior student. They fell in love through learning and teaching. She taught him to properly wield a weapon, he taught her to speak and write other languages. They married quietly, in secret, and An'ika was soon pregnant. Reginald convinced An to move back to Aega with him, where he was sure they would live in prosperity once his work was published. 

Unfortunately things didn't quite work that way. Reginald did publish, but An and the baby Dev'ika were ostracized in the human cities. An moved back to Grah-Nglak with baby Dev when she was about 3. Her father followed soon after. They lived on the fringes of the city, where they were mostly unbothered.

Devika took after her father, loving to read, write, and learn. While she has the potential for fighting, she doesn't have the will. Her mother taught her to wield a staff, but she only does so in self defense. Her magic potential was much stronger than her desire to wield a sword, and she was heavily trained in that since the age of 5. When Devika became an adult, she decided to take up her father's path and travel the world, learning and recording what she can. She started with her human roots.

During her travels in Aega, she ran into a group of human men who didn't like her looks. They charged her, and Devika was forced to unleash the full brunt of her magic on them. She willed fear into herself and send it outward. All but one of her attackers crumbled to the ground, screaming as terror took hold of their bodies. The last may have had a stronger mind than his friends, because he came at her. Before she could pull her staff and prepare to defend herself, a white-haired stranger came and knocked him 
unconscious.

Her rescuer turned out to be a human man named Roland. They quickly struck a partnership- he would agree to protect him, and she was provide payment on return to Grah-Nglak. That journey had just ended, when Devika's father came upon a letter from one of his old research friends. The opportunity to explore the lost continent of Ialdia was a priceless one, but he knew he couldn't make the trip at his age, with a wife and home and two more children to raise. He passed off the torch to 
his daughter, and Devika jumped at the opportunity. Now, with Roland at her side, she is prepared to learn what no one else can... What lies beyond the shores of Ialdia. [/hider]
