Name: Vestia Veilin
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality: Vestia is an extremely hot-headed individual who takes everything with a titanic salt. Any insult, no matter how small, is taken personally and she never forgets it. She is also prideful and haughty, which makes her apprentices loathe her to the bone. Vestia is also insecure about her height. Insult her height, you're asking for a death wish. However, Vestia knows where to give praise where it is deserved, and knows how to insult even if it isn't deserved. She is very passionate about alchemy though, and takes her profession really seriously. She treats alchemy as an art and science, art because it requires delicate will, effort, and sacrifice... science, because it changes and weaves fate. Anyone who would try to insult alchemy would get an
intimate talk with her... a talk that will involve a boot in that person's face.
History: Vestia was born of two alchemist parents who are in a coma as of the moment. She was a child prodigy who took alchemy as if it was just a game. Potions danced at her fingertips, and creating fertilizers (for their farm) was nothing more than counting with her eyes closed. However, in a terrible alchemy accident, her parents were sent into a coma, and have never awakened since. On the other hand, Vestia had another side effect: she stopped aging and growing. She was stuck in a 4'1 height, and her physique still that of a 13 year old even though she entered her 20's. These traits made Vestia extremely insecure, and forced her to hide her delicate nature under a facade of a mean and ruthless mentor of alchemy. Like her parents, Vestia continues to teach some knuckleheads (who would leave soon afterwards) the delicate practice of alchemy. Vestia disliked healing magic, and spells because she views them as a lazy way of curing people. You want to cure a disease? Brew the potion yourself. You want to cure an asshole? Brew a poison. For her, magic is for fools while alchemy is for the strong. This kind of upbringing gave Vestia a tough attitude which she rubs off on her students. She makes it clear though that no one should insult her height, or they will get the living daylights sundered out of them.
Profession: Alchemy Professor
Other: Vestia's alchemy quarters is located near a river. That way, should there be any incidents of fire, the river is just near. Other than alchemy, Vestia is COMPLETELY untalented. She sucks in cleaning, cooking, sewing, knitting, music, and pretty much, everything in between. However, when it comes to alchemy, she is an extreme prodigy. That said, Vestia's house is just a small shack a few meters from the town market... it is untidy and unkempt. She has an uncontrollable urge to give to the poor though, and this had led her to be scammed multiple times. In addition, whatever money she has she gives it to the inn where her parents are currently incapacitated in. As such, she is left almost penniless every month. Still, she tries her best to look strong in front of those knuckleheads who dared to venture into the realm of alchemy.
