@Dark Light: Hmm, I'm not exactly sure why Arinne would go out of her way to help him? She's not exactly the most charitable person. It would make more sense if he was somehow under one of the contracts she activated.

• Name: Sophiana Chiffon Val-Verde
• Age: 18
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "In everything, from our bodies to our magic, we possess only the finest." Height does not count, five feet is quite sufficient.
• Personality: Pride. Pride is a very, very important facet of Sophiana's personality--she is an exemplary mage from a long line of exemplary mages, a family whose wealth and influence is comparatively free of circle politicking, so far as things go. Her sense of self importance thus is quite... excessive. Not so much that she rubs it in, but there's almost always an undercurrent of considering herself to be better than those she's talking with. She's surprisingly easy to get along with if you don't try to take down her ego, being generous and fairly helpful. Plus, she has a blatant and unconcealed interest in cute girls.
• Abilities: The Val-Verde are a very old, very proud family who consider themselves to be amongst the greatest level of mages. Sophiana is an example held up of this, with mana quality and amount to spare, and the family's hereditary affinity for Air... though nobody would ever hear them refer to it as such except to correct someone else. It is an affinity for the Heavens, much classier sounding than those who muck around with little breezes and cleaning spells.
  Naturally, with this attitude, Sophiana tends to eschew the minor things or subtleties of the element, though she will indignantly conduct spells related to energy or movement if needed. The predominant bulk of her ability is on the art of Displacement, of moving a thing from one place to another. The simple trick she holds almost anyone with the right affinity should do is nothing more than a charlatan's cheat: from one hand to another. Her specialisation is much more advanced than that, allowing for the movement of unattended items within sight, or to transport part of her body elsewhere, or even--though with great reluctance given the possible dangers--her entire body from one location to another. This is the family's modern specialisation, and by specially preparing rooms, or marking and indicating items, she is able to access these stockpiles and retrieve or send items to them without much consideration for the physical distance... provided that she can remember what the item in question is when trying to obtain it.
  Her family's older speciality is still passed down and treated with great caution, as the danger it poses is directly proportional to the amount of mana fed into it: the violent, destructive invocation of wind and lightning. It is magic intended to cow, awe, and eliminate any threats; the only person truly safe when it's put to use is the caster. This use of elemental fury in its most directly powerful yet unconstrained form is, perhaps, why the Val-Verde are so insistent about their affinity.
• Skills: Almost nothing. If it doesn't involve magic or keeping track of expenditure, there is almost nothing that Sophiana has any skill with.
• Assets: A very large amount.
  As the heir to a very wealthy family, and an adult at that, Sophiana has access to an extremely large pool of discretionary funds for whatever catches her fancy... if it isn't something that the family already possesses, anyway. In terms of more magical things than maids, transport, or access to exclusive restaurants, the Val-Verde have vaults full of magical items for all sorts of situations--some quite minor, being entirely to immediately clean something, up to compensating for their lack of middle ground when approaching magic. The main limitation for what Sophiana can pull out is if she knows where it is; a lot of the more convenient items she's memorised the storage for, but more obscures magic, or offensive magic beyond "here's a fireball"? Well... she'd need to get the catalogues.
• Brief Backstory: The Val-Verde family is one of the oldest still around, and their history indicates that Sophiana's mana--and that of her parents--is quite typical. But it wasn't until they pushed to excel at displacement that they became so extremely wealthy. Even in the modern day, the ability to charge for sending something perfectly securely and instantaneously across the world to a destination... even without all their investments, it's still a good way to make money. Or to grab valuables after a battle or siege has concluded and you're done levelling the place with a storm, but that's not something they talk about except by vague references to the rewards of victory.
  Sophiana's life is quite typical for one of their heirs: shown enough affection and completely spoiled, but forced to behave with the expected level of decorum and to excel at her studies. Naturally, with comparatively few mages of her social standing and generation, she's tried to be a reliable big sister to Arinne... but mostly this hasn't worked and she just tries to tease her back.
  Arinne doesn't actually have a contract to force her help, and one wasn't really necessary. As soon as she got wind of what the younger girl was going to do, she volunteered to help out. What else was she going to do with her time? Arinne and her adorable bodyguard are a valuable use of her time... and she could do with making some contacts amongst those forced to help.
