A font of never ending curiosity, she is always quite interested in learning and doing. Though well-read she appears to be fairly sheltered in many ways, having never stepped foot far beyond the reaches of her home in Fellsgard, confidence however makes up for the things she could not learn simply from reading a book.

Somewhere in the end of her first century

Fellsgard

Fellsgard
History

Nigel was a good man possessing a tremendous capacity for good faith and the misfortune of bad luck, and when a woman practically stumbled into his arms and pleaded security, he had no choice but to extend his own to her, inviting her into his home if only for a night, and that was how Nigel became the proud father of a bouncing baby girl some three months later.

The woman that came to him was a stranger, lovely but ultimately dangerous in a way that made laying a hand on her inconceivable to the gentle giant of a man that had taken her in. It was weeks after the initial expiration date on his hospitality had been set to expire that he had caught wind of his accidental house-mate's condition. Combative and wild, she spoke openly of things that had been taught to Nigel as threats to his very way of life, and yet he found the stories she wove of distant lands during her energetic rants and fantastic sights captivating in a way that her personality certainly was not.

Nigel was not angry when shortly after the birth of her child the semi-feral human woman vanished, nor was he disappointed for long. Though parenthood was hard, he took to it happily and did his absolute best, making quite a few mistakes along the way. The girl he raised always seemed to be a bit of a runt, tiny in his palm, even more so than other infants he had held in his lifetime. Though never putting on much weight she ate him practically out of house and home, fueling her energetic exploits and ravenous consumption of knowledge, as well as an embarrassing tendency to lean into her mother's shortcomings, drawn by the taboo of magic. As much as he tried to steer her right, redirecting her with natural sciences and histories, arts and culture, Nigel's efforts of barring the girl from magic proved fruitless, seeding rebellion early in her youth. Knowing he could not teach her better but still wanting desperately to protect her from the threat her own natural curiosity and penchant for picking it up like bending reality was easy, Nigel became an overbearing parent, cherishing Slaine's youth and drawing it out for an uncomfortably long time as Slaine never appeared to be all that interested in leaving the nest, further developing a dynamic of codependency that would persist so long as he lived..

In his late seventies, Nigel began to question his daughter's parentage - though her mother had been human, there was no denying a sort of otherness about the girl, now in her forties though she scarcely looked a day over twenty, tending his bedside as his health had begun to decline. The revelation was shocking, not because he was stupid but rather he had simply never considered the possibility of such things.

As his health waned so did his control over Slaine's choices and decisions, leading her to begin more frequent and intense study of magic and things otherwise considered forbidden while also showing a great admiration for Cecilia and the study of artifacts, relics, gods, and, well, anything that might have one day assisted her in her studies, scarcely leaving the house.

Nigel lived another twenty years and when he died it was a tragedy, though not one that anyone in the community much noticed. The absence of Nigel and his daughter in the community had been noted twenty years prior then rarely questioned, never bothered, their home well out of the way and scarcely a point of interest.

Wrapping up her projects, Slaine collected herself a few short months (years? Decades? She sort of lost track) after her father's death and again entered the world, chock full of vim, vigor and knowledge. Oh boy.
