Wild Mage Larissa of Dreams (#8283)

Owner: 0x8c77…7AAF

Wild Mage Larissa of Dreams

She is known to some as Larissa of Dreams, for it is from dreams that she gets her magic.

To others, she is Larissa of Nightmares, for when she walks the Dreamlands, nightmares follow.

Larissa was but a child when her powers took her. Blessed—or perhaps cursed—she is drawn to the Dreamlands each night to wander the in-between, that shifting shadowland that runs between life, death, and everything. While there, she hides, exploring as she can, slipping into and out-of-the dreams of dreamers, learning secrets, desires, fears, and on some rare and lucky nights: she steals magic.

Larissa spends her waking days as a wandering medium, a soothsayer and fortune-teller, reading dreams for coin. She keeps to herself and hides the majority of power. As she does in dreams, she lives the life of a wanderer, moving from town to town, only staying long enough to earn and learn and plan—before moving on.

She is young still, and despite her power, she is inexperienced, still learning how to control her wild magic. However, within the Dreamlands, she has a multitude of teachers and access to a unique and extensive font of magical knowledge: the dreams of wizards and others with arcane power. Larissa picks through their dreams and nightmares, learning what magic she can from them, using it to grow her ability and to better protect her from the dangers of the Dreamlands and the waking world.

It is a life full of dangers, and Larissa has many enemies. She is protected only by a magical Rune of Brimstone—snatched from the nightmare of an imp—the watchful eyes of her familiar, Styx, and her growing mastery over the wild magics she steals from the Dreamlands.

Despite her burgeoning power, she is often afraid, running and hiding from the nightmares that seek and stalk her, always on her heels, always lurking around every corner. For what purpose? Why do they seek her? Why was she burdened with this wild magic? She does not know. Her power wasn’t chosen by her, it was bestowed upon her, and she does what she can to master it. Had she the option, she would give it up for even one night of restful sleep. For now, though, she wanders, watches, and learns, seeking to unravel the mystery of her wild magic curse.
