Task 2 for Profile

My lovely Illusionist, Lady Sorceress Iolanthe Teriae. Her name is pronounced Eye-Oh-Lan-They Teh-ree-ay

Iolanthe is a feminine given name, derived from the Greek "ιολη" (iole) for "violet" and "ανθος" (anthos) for "flower".
It is also the title of a comic opera by Gilbert and Sullivan - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iolanthe

And yeah . . . she doesn't wear undies. Long hair censoring for the win!
The three words that describe her personality are - Loyal, Vain, Confident

Here are the stats for her -

Name: Lady Sorceress Iolanthe Teriae
Age: Early 60's (she can keep herself looking as young as she wants with her illusions)
Ht: 5' 9" (1.75m)
Wt: I'm not asking . . .
Hair: Red
Eyes: Dark blue
Body type: tall, curvy
Occupation: Sorceress/illusionist
Likes: dressing formally, castle life, being waited upon, being young and beautiful, society, being the center of attention, flirting
Hates: being alone, people knowing how old she is (you're all in trouble now), people who don't give her the attention she thinks she deserves

Iolanthe was born to a noble family of high status, but her magic abilities were discovered very early on and she was sent to High Forest Magic School to learn how to use her powers. When she was 15 she was sent to Kentrell-by-the-Bend to be further tutored by Queen Sorceress Eriantielle, since Eriantielle was the most powerful Sorceress the school had produced. The Head Wizard of the school thought that Iolanthe would benefit from having a female mentor (the school had no Sorceress' other than Iolanthe at the time she was being taught).

She was first a good student and then a great friend of Queen Sorceress Eriantielle, both of them enjoying having another Sorceress to talk to (she and the queen became dreadful gossips, much to the embarrassment of the king). Iolanthe also held a great regard for King Raghnall, admiring him from afar and hoping that she would be so lucky as to snag a royal husband the way Eriantielle had.

Her unusual hair color is attributed to her illusion abilities, since there is no one else who has hair as brilliantly red as Iolanthe's. She enjoys the fact that it makes her distinct. Her magic is blue, matching her eyes.

When Iolanthe was 25, Gaetan, cousin to King Raghnall, took over the throne after Raghnall and Eriantielle were reportedly killed by assassins from a neighboring country. Lord Wizard-Healer Tiernan and Iolanthe were accused of conspiring with the assassins and had to flee the kingdom to avoid being executed. That was the official story, here is the real story as told by Tiernan - Tiernan's Version (SPOILERS!)My name is Tiernan Crouthe. I am a Wizard-Healer. I was the King’s Own Wizard for King Raghnall of Kentrell-by-the-Bend. I may be a criminal, but I am not a murderer or even an assassin.
My name and the name of Lady Sorceress Iolanthe Teriae have been maligned by the High King, Gaetan. We are both in hiding and intend to stay that way until our deaths or the overthrow of Gaetan, whichever comes first.
I write this missive to clear our names and to reveal the true criminals responsible for the deaths of our beloved King and Queen. May it come into the hands of those who can use the knowledge I impart to raise a force of rebellion against the self-styled High King.
I first wish to make clear that there is no reasoning for my being branded the murderer of my two greatest friends. Queen Eriantielle was both a friend and classmate of mine from the High Forest Magic School (a place that I have heard recently has been burnt to the ground and whose teachers and pupils have been hun

That dagger you've seen her holding is her wand. It's something that most of the mages in my world have. It is part of their final test as a mage to make a wand they can use to assist them with their magic and as a place to store their power when needed, made of metal because it is a fantastic conductor of magic. There are three reasons for the stiletto like blade of the wand: 1) The sharp point helps in aiming the spells, 2) Certain spells require the caster's own blood, 3) It can be used as an emergency defense in the event that the mage is out of power. Wands are usually very ornate as well as being functional, every one unique as their creator/bearer. Wands are so tied to their creator that they can only be used by the one who made it. The gems help with magical storage and are large and polished smooth. Facets tend to make magic go all over the place and are not desired on wand gems (or any magical item with gems for that matter). I'll provide a close up of the wand for the wardrobe task.

If you've made it to the end of this, I have another treat for you. Go back to the "Guess Who" picture , I've added a little bit of writing to the artist's comment on there to let you know exactly what is going on
