Mara Guisepi

Name: Mara Guisepi
Title: Academy Magnate

Appearance:
Mara carried herself with a noble's dignity and poise. Her movements were soft, cat-like; Magister Guisepi had a natural alacrity. The youngest of the Academy's three Magnates, Mara seemed like she couldn't be older than forty years of age. Her smile was sincere, infectious, and especially bright.

Bio:
"I taught Magnate Agnetti everything he knows about Enchantment" was Mara's favorite boast, delivered with a playful smile if Skiah happens to be in the room. She was one of the first Halmorians to manifest signs of Emergent Phenomena. Mara desired to understand her power as much as any Wizard, and though she was not among their number, her insight did have a profound role in shaping the world's newest academic tradition.

Mara was especially fond of exploring. She was talented in the Schools of Enchantment and Illusion; due to the nature of her power, she was able to explore without bringing harm to otherwise hostile and dangerous creatures. The Magnate urged the Academy to find nonviolent applications of their power. Like Primus Gray, she was known to be as a parent to the Academy's underage wards.

Unfortunately, Mara was not able to escape as Atalan crumbled around her, as she gave up her own life to make sure some of the younger students of the Academy had a chance to escape the city.
