Quiet, mysterious, obedient, Thessaly spends most of her every day life shrouded in mystery. Tethered to the Church of Althena politically and, as some rumors would suggest, metaphysically, she is rarely ever seen without the knight who acts as her keeper, meant to keep her in line or slay her at a moment's notice should she step out of it. While these measures seem harsh, treated little more than the way a servant generally is, the young woman has accepted them with the grace and dignity suggestive of an aristocratic background, and of a personality that recognizes the necessity of such severe methods. For all of her gentle and softspoken nature, there is undoubtedly something not right with her, with how she can make someone uneasy just by being in the same room as him or her, exacerbated by the fact that she always keeps her face hidden by veils and headscarves, unwilling to have the rest see what lurks underneath.

Background

She is an investigator for the Church, sent to Filgaia to assist Garan Dantear and the Church of Althena's efforts there, considered an expert in all things magical and arcane despite her young age. Otherwise, not much is known about her save for several disturbing rumors.

Powers and Abilities

While the full breadth of Thessaly's abilities are unknown, she uses a few often enough that they have become a matter of public record. These are:

• Dark Magic - Despite her gentle nature and softspokeness, she wields this forbidden art as naturally as breathing.

• Divination - Once called the "Oracle in Tower Trevelyan," she can occasionally see the future, though this requires a considerable amount of effort and the use of her cards.

• Healing - She can heal as capably as she can destroy.

• Alchemy - Thessaly is a skilled alchemist and can brew a variety of potions and poultices, so long she has the necessary ingredients.

• Naturalist - She has an enduring fascination with unusual flora and fauna and often tries to study them.

• Artist - She is a capable artist, and in between investigations is often seen drawing plants and animals along with her notes as to what they are and her observations about them.

• Academics - She is knowledgeable in literature, politics, economics and history, suggestive of a noble background.

	Garan Dantear	Warden	Theirs is a complicated history. This Imperial Knight of Rolance was part of the joint Empire-Church operation that massacred her family, culminating in a siege in her father's duchy's lands; in that same event, he prevented her from suffering any additional humiliations, and put himself in political risk and the debt of an influential praetor in the Church of Althena in order to prevent her execution and win custody of her to prevent any additional abuse. And then, he stripped her of her name and gave her a new one, while in possession of a magical killswitch that can neutralize her. Garan Dantear is both her savior and her jailor - she owes him a great deal and the kindness and consideration he had given her in the last two years have come a long way in enabling her to develop a close friendship and even affection towards him. But he also holds the keys to her freedom, and Thessaly constantly chafes under the yoke placed on her.
