Angela Duf'Kurn

The daughter of a wealthy miner and treasure hunter, Angela Duf'Kurn stands out in her family for not sharing their enthusiasm for adventure and travel. While they have made the family name famous for their ventures to uncharted lands and treacherous seas, Angela has remained her whole life in Holo Athua, cooped up inside the family's manor within the mountain city of ***. Angela has spent this solitude time with her craft--alchemy--and become renowned in her own circles of philosophers, engineers, and apothecaries.

Indeed, this lifestyle had suited Angela more than contently for decades, and she felt she was on her way toward her own major contribution to the scientific community. But this all changed however when war broke out between Nemia and Gnosos. Her father had taken her brother and uncle on a voyage to Nemia just prior--the last, great uncharted frontier, with potential for wealth, danger, and adventure beyond anything the family had previously accomplished. Angela had though the whole voyage to be folly, but had nevertheless wished them safe return. But as soon as war broke out communication--either physical or magical--ceased. A month went by and Angela's two cousins took up a rescue mission, but they hadn't been heard from in over two weeks. Now Angela is feeling more than just the pressure of her family name to undertake the adventuring lifestyle--now she feels the weight of her whole family resting on her to rescue them.

Perhaps, through her talent as an alchemist and unique perspective, she can succeed where they failed, but perhaps her inexperience will leave her woefully unprepared for the journey she feels she must undertake.
