Niall

Niall is a young woman. She looks to be in her late teens. Not the most attractive girl to begin with, her appearance is not enhanced by the scars that track down the left side of her face. Her hair is an odd color - brown, for the most part, but it fades to ivory at its tips.

She is almost always clothed the same way - sturdy trousers over a pair of boots, a linen shirt with a leather vest. Her hands and neck, when not hidden by gloves and scarf, are marked with blue tattoos, a complex design of interconnected runes that fuel the young sorceress' magic.

Rather sullen and taciturn by nature, the girl lives with the mage Kyra. Originally from related but warring tribes, the relationship between the two was founded in fear and threats from the older to the younger, but has since grown into something more.

Her closest relationship is clearly with Elliot Brown. The two have been friends since shortly after Niall's arrival in Myrken Wood, the boy being one of the few willing to tolerate Niall's strange ways. The change from Elliot Brown to Elliot Gahald, created by the mindwitch Rhaena Olwak, was traumatizing for Niall. She tried many ways to undo what the mindwitch had wrought, even going so far as to entrust her life and body to Whelp's It. The demon kept Niall safe even while her body was killed by Cherny in a ruse to try and jolt Elliot back to his true self. This attempt failed as all others had.

Since then, Niall has recovered slowly - physically, at least. Demoralized, she has chosen to travel with the northerner Jarek Gora.
