1-off B: Shipwrecked on the Secret Isle

a midsummer's day in the Year 950

Character: Julietta

Personal Characteristics

Description

Human female.  Age 15.  Blonde hair, blue eyes.

Abilities

• Very good at sneaking unseen through the undergrowth and watching what is going on (taught by Hoger)
• Also very good at Air Spells.  Mistral has entrusted you with his True Name, which is AZROUS, and you can use it to Summon him to perform simple Spells for you.
• Good at simple Druidic Spells too, which the friendly Spirits of the Woods have taught you.

Background

When you were a baby you were abducted by the mermen, who took you to the Secret Isle.  Your father, Decus, followed you and rescued you with the help of Mistral the Air Elemental.  Decus has a Magic Ring which enables him to control Mistral.  Decus and you have been stranded on the Secret Isle ever since, and you grew up there.

Your father is a strange man (Though you have no real way of knowing whether this is not typical of men!  Mistral does say others are different.).  He is given to fits of brooding and staring into the sea-mist.  He keeps a funny old sword wrapped in dirty rags hidden in his cabin.  Once you looked at it secretly and you felt so weird when you touched it that you have left it alone since.

Mistral is friendly, but too busy to spare much time for you.  You spend most of your time on your own, or with Hoger, your father's servant and your childhood playmate.  You are Hoger's only friend - everybody else, including Mistral, is nasty to him because he is ugly, even though he can't help how he looks.  Hoger knows a lot about what goes on.  He says your father must once have been a very important man.

The mermen and their friends the sea people still try and capture you sometimes.  Your father says they are animals, and would do unspeakable things to you.  Mistral and Hoger protect you.

Objective

Escape from the Secret Isle to your own kind and establish yourself as the important lady you are sure you must be.
