10 things to know about Tourmaline
1) She is not immediately trusting. Vague details at first for the first few meetings
2) Due to a religious/spiritual belief, you will not get her birthname, and should someone say it that she does NOT know, they are immediately blacklisted. If she truly, intimately trusts someone, they might get to know that name.
3) She's a trained master-mage, which means she's in the upper levels for talent and knowledge. It's a higher degree in the mages group, the closest cultural equivilant is a doctorate, but with a modern world it doesn't count for much in the job market.
4) She is not that strong of a mage, she knows it, and while it might come up, it's a sore subject for her. "Other mages have pools of power they can draw from immediately. I've got a creek about two feet wide and eight inches deep on a good day."
5) Tourmaline will 87% of the time be dressed in hippie desert rat style. Sturdy boots, hand embroidered denim everything, and sometimes a hair-scarf.
6) She adores tea and has a collection of various teapots, her favorites being the chinese clay pots. This stems mostly from the fact that coffee nearly always gives her heartburn and an upset stomach.
7) Since her primary education during the grand heydey of hippie education doesn't account for much, Tour makes most of her money dealing in rare manuscripts and bartering for goods while on the road. She has just as much junk as anyone else, but it's spread out over 49 states.
8) When Tour smokes, it's generally because of something stressful happening with either her students or her own situation. If she orders fancy specialty tea, she's in a fairly good mood. If things are REALLY bad, as in 'new graves' bad, she will look for much harder things, starting with alcohol and working her way up(or down)
9) The closest term for her sexual identity is Neutrois, and tends to be midly physically/aesthetically attracted to femme-types, and forms mostly romantic bonds in those attractions. There is not currently anyone in her life, the teaching comes first. She's just not that interested in what you folks DO under the covers, y'all can do what you like, provided it doesn't harm or kill anybody.
10) If you refer to her school as a Hogwarts, she will have her revenge on you in a way you will not see coming.
