Veas is a fairly average, though fit-looking woman. Despite this, the girl’s skin is notably pale, and heavily ringed under her eyes. She typically looks very annoyed; it’s hard to find a moment where the girl doesn’t have a scowl on her face.
She wears a set of dark violet traveller's robes. Despite looking of high quality, they look well worn, and starting to show some age. Veas always has a silvery grey shawl wrapped around her head and neck, which seems better cared for than her robes. She also a satchel with her containing numerous texts, along with a large bound Journal of her own.

Veas’s life has elicited a healthy dose of skepticism in the girl. Veas has a very high-strung, no nonsense personality, fitting of someone who toils away to live their life. While the girl may seem abrasive at first, she fiercely values common people's’ lives and well-being, and will act against her better judgement to protect them.

Likewise, she has sufficient knowledge in the field to be able to put research into any supernatural curiosity that piques her interest.

Veas was born in the small farming village of Reut. As she grew, the girl earned the reputation of being a smart child, and began exhibiting a number of signs of magical talent. Nobody in the village recognized these signs, writing them off as good omens for the girl’s health. Around the time Veas turned twelve, Olvric Alter, an exiled scholar of the University of Potestatis arrived and settled in the town, attracted by the solitude it would bring. It was not long before Veas’s potential was recognized, and the mage took her into his charge.
Olvric found a welcome apprentice in the young girl, teaching her what arcane magics he could to someone so young. Regardless, the man’s willingness to help the village however he could swiftly turned him to a pillar of the community. However, after a number of years, the scholar grew became discontent with his ability to harness arcane energy, and began searching for shortcuts to accumulate more.
In his search Veas became more of a test subject than an apprentice. His research started out rather harmless, but as time passed, Olvric became more and more desperate in his search, turning to more extreme methods. It was only a matter of time until one of these experiments failed, and when it did, the results were catastrophic. Veas was robbed of her affinity for the arcane as well as her ability to sleep, but with time, found she was able to harness power from blood. Disgusted with what he viewed to be an aberration, Olvric cast her out from his care and accused her of being a monster to the whole of the village. Despite her protests, the people turned on her, chasing Veas out and exiling her.
The young girl lived a life of desperation in the following years, trying to come to terms with what her life had become. Much of her time was dedicated to researching what exactly had happened to her, but the young girl had no luck. With time, travel, and fatigue came complacency. After years of struggle, Veas came to settle in Dun, having strayed far from home and honed her craft.
