Character's Name:
Patina

Nicknames:
Teenie

Age:
250

Gender:
Female

Species:
Sphinx

Abilities:
Purification - Patina is particularly good with her purification magic. She can draw toxins out of just about anything, and this includes curses. Her curse removal skills are a family trait, and Patina herself has a special interest in curses because of her love of magical items.

Keen Magical Senses - Patina's magical affinity has seeped into all of her senses, from physical to mental. While she has keener senses of sight, hearing, and smell thanks to her race, she also possesses enhanced magical senses. This allows her to detect lies and sense the motives of others around her. More importantly for Patina, her ability lets her sense and track strong magical auras.

Knowledge - While not inherently a skill, Patina has a wide array of general knowledge. She's passionate about learning and getting her paws on every single book she can. Sometimes this can get a bit overbearing for those around her, because she's enamored with sharing the trivia she knows.

Metallurgy and Gemology - Patina has some minor control over metals and gems. She usually only uses this ability to determine what makes up a material. This is particularly helpful in her line of work, and allows her to identify forgeries.

Enchantments - She's got a knack for magic. Patina is very good with wards and other arcane magics. With enough practice, and time to study, she can learn a great number of spells.

Acrobatics - Patina's wings are a little too small for her to sustain flight, but she's an excellent glider, and quite good in the air.

Personality:
Adventurous - Patina was born with an incredible wanderlust. She lives to explore and learn all of the secrets of the world. She yearns for new places, new people, and new experiences. Patina will try anything once, especially food. A bit of a glutton, she'll eat until she's full and then some. She rarely stays in one place for long, even her own home, and the more dangerous and mysterious places of the world call her name quite loudly.

Quirky - To those who don't know her, Patina can be rather... odd. She has a fondness for riddles and questions, and when bored she'll ask the nearest person a riddle. And then another. And another. Her thoughts are often moving very, very quickly, and she often talks out her thoughts, jumping from one train to a similar one and so on. She displays many feline behaviors, like rubbing her face on corners or wiggling her butt when excited. She sniffs every book she reads, no matter if she's read it before or not. New books, old books, she says all have a unique scent. This particular habit extends to other read things as well, including scrolls, menus, and even maps. Another strange habit of Patina's involves her feathers; she saves the ones she molts and chews on them while thinking.

Intelligent - Patina is very, very smart. She seeks to pursue knowledge and artifacts. These are the things she loves to collect, especially items steeped in history and magic. The more she can add to her personal library, the happier she is. Her intelligence has also made her clever and resourceful. If she can't physically beat an opponent, she'll outwit them. Unfortunately, she can lose herself in her studies, and she occasionally values books more than people. She's still looking for someone who can beat her in a game of chess.

Excitable - Despite her calm, cool exterior, Patina is easily excitable. When she finds a treasure, her eyes light up, and she can't help but wiggle and grin. She's especially chatty when excited, and her words flow together. All sense of personal space is lost, and Patina has been known to jump on the nearest person.

Greedy - Patina has a bit of a greedy side. She has a love of all things shiny, rare, and magical, and she's not too keen to share many of them. She hoards away her personal favorites in her private library. She, at the very least, makes copies of the rare and ancient texts that she finds for the grand library. How generous of her.

Amiable - At the end of the day, Patina is incredibly friendly and social. She's made many friends over her travels, and frequently stops to visit them. She's quick to make new friends, even if some are put off by her riddles and odd behaviors. She has a natural cheer that's almost contagious, and her optimism is something she considers one of her best qualities. Patina will always seek out a way to cheer up a gloomy friend!

History:
Patina was born to a librarian and a historian. From a young age she was surrounded by books and other artifacts. It was only natural that she inherit her parents' love of history. When she became old enough, Patina set out on her own to purchase an empty house for her to fill with treasures gathered along her journey. She set out on a quest to fill her library, and has been on the road ever since.
