Physical Features: Arcane markings in the form of tattoos all across her skin - most visible whilst nude, however that is exceedingly rare to see, due to her nature. Mostly seen around her collarbone and barely meeting the base of her neck. Additionally, her eyes seem to flash and crackle like lightning each time she blinks - a feature she may not entirely be aware of, from how she never reacts to it.

From her upbringing and how she carries herself, it seems she's a natural leader. Patricia's an obvious way with words, and whether they're genuine or not is certainly hard to tell, at times.
Equipment and Items
A staff of hovering crystal rests upon her shoulder at almost all times. Her actual clothing tends to show off a certain amount of skin, but not so much that she ends up looking too indecent.


Prime History

Patricia Brina was born into the Brina family of Royalty in the city of Tork on the Doomed Prime of Inolin. So said as Doomed due to the ever-approaching, seeping elemental energy that has, over the past few centuries, destroyed almost all bastions of civilization on the prime. Now, only one isle remains, and it shares it's name - Inolin - with the prime itself, as no other inhabitable area exists that civilization may thrive in.

The isle itself consists of four - though in truth, three - inhabitable population centers. The largest of which is the capital city of Tork, where life continues as normal for a prime without common magical knowledge - traders trade, thieves steal and commoners live their lives in blissful ignorance of the slow destruction that approaches them in the next few generations - For why would they care of an issue they are unable to avert, and that they will not live to see? The King's rule is fair and just, and the Brina line are blessed by 'Ancient Blood' with the ability to 'conjure mysticism' - in reality, they have sorcerous abilities stemming from draconic beings deep in their heritage - the specifics of which has been lost to time, even to the Brina line themselves.

The current ruler of Tork, and thus the Isle in total is King Marcellus Brina IV. Once a joint rule with his wife, Queen Patricia Brina V (The mother of the aforementioned Princess Patricia Brina, who, if she were to take the throne, would be the 6th Patricia Brina to do so.), though she has since passed of natural causes. The king himself is old and becoming frail, and his direct heir is Prince Duncan - A handsome, kind man, beloved equally by the people, and Patricia's older brother by six summers. He is less learned in the magical arts, but has dedicated his life to learning statecraft - He is the ideal heir, and will in all likelihood take the throne.

Trish does not mind this, and has never had any qualms with the fact. She considers herself too free-spirited and personally minded to be fit to rule directly, but wishes instead to advise from behind the scenes - She cares greatly for the common person, and finds that their individual wants and needs may go unnoticed if she does not listen to their qualms. Regarded widely as the 'Commonfolk's Sorceress', the Princess is admired by almost all of the citizens of Tork.

Indeed, life in the capital is nigh-idyllic, yet the few wizards that exist on the prime work tirelessly, day and night, to find a solution to avert an Armageddon that has come and gone. Their world ended long ago, yet they still cling to the hope that it can be saved. Patricia assists in this research, and it is for this reason she embarked on a search to Sigil, in the hopes she could either find someone to assist her with the task, or learn enough that she might guide the project, personally.

The second most populous center on the prime is Wok - Which makes it sound heavily packed, but it is, in fact, a tiny town. Indeed, it would be barely worth mentioning on any other world, but the fringe town at the lower end of the isle is the second bastion of civilization. Populated exclusively by humans, these hardy folk live a difficult life with no aid from the crown. It is rumored that they are the only outsiders that keep contact with the elves of Ituminae (A ruined city that has partially sunk into the ocean - Massive, destroyed cathedrals to some ancient deity dominate the landscape, and trespassers are slain swiftly by the exclusively elven inhabitants, who, over the past century, have come to dominate their urban landscape better than they ever did their natural one.), and they have somehow held off the Undead Mind of Furnel.

Speaking of, Furnel is an entirely desolate landscape. Again over the last century, the being known only as the mad 'Deadly Duke', who is rumored to have once been the prime minister of Furnel's actual city, though the information is mostly lost to time. Most likely an undead creature himself, he somehow unlocked the secrets of reanimation. Luckily for the rest of the isle, it seems that he's rather incompetent. Any attacks he's made have been foiled, practically all of the citizens of Furnel escaped before they were turned into Undead slaves, and what little he does have are shambling and falling apart from his waning magical ability and the age of the corpses. The city itself is devoid of any life at all, and the same can be said for around ten miles outside of the walls. Any remnants of trees are gone, dirt has been removed with paved cobblestone and any plants have been scoured from the earth. The air there is choking with the flames of forges that have been piled, row upon row, to arm the undead with pristine weapons and armor. What few scouts have been sent there have reported that the Duke seems to have taken an interest in Golemcraft - As shambling, hulking suits of armor have been sighted patrolling the lands.

Religion

Trish herself worships Arkass - And much the same can be said about every other citizen of both Wok and Tork. Stylized as an immense golden dragon with the head of a man, Arkass is the dominant deity of the prime, governing over Magic, Life and Civilization as a whole. His priests are widespread and well-liked, and he is practically the only deity still worshipped on the tiny isle.

The other god of the Inolite Pantheon is Illafren, a diety of Death and Nature, who's worship is forgotten for the most part, and only the elves still venerate them. Her symbol is a tree bearing fruits that appear as skulls. Some say the cathedrals that make up Ituminae are Her ancient places of worship, but no humans have survived entry long enough to document this.

The final god was cast out from the other two, even in their heyday, for being too vile and foul to be worshipped by the masses. The true name of this power is lost to time, but it is referred to in texts as 'Life-Over-Death'. This being's worship is restricted only to the 'Deadly Duke', who seems to wish to take the place of this now-dead power.
