how could they even start to see beyond your presentation when they've got no IMAGINATION?

A mysterious stranger appears in the valley with no history to speak of. She appears unharmed, leading those who found her to believe her amnesia is magical rather than due to an injury, which only sparks more questions.

 All questions go unanswered.

 She quickly grows tired of not having answers. Accumulating knowledge becomes an obsessive habit, driving her to do anything to sate her curiosity, no matter the cost. If she can't know herself, she has to know everything else to make up for it.

 She finds alchemy, and she's good at it. She knows things about it she doesn't remember learning, as if she's been practicing it for years. A possible link to her forgotten past, she deduces. This must be her calling.

Relationships

Port

A friend at first sight and close companion, she's always dragging him into some sort of trouble. Tonic feels that if anyone understands her, it's Port.

Auri

Somewhere between a mother figure and a cool older sister. Auri's guidance has been integral to avoiding a lot of really bad decisions.

Nemy

Any time spent with Nemy is fun and exciting, and his company is a great boost of spirit. Tonic thinks he's weird, but that's what she likes best about him.

Illium

The best source for magic there is and a loyal customer. She's always up to something interesting, and Tonic feels she can learn a lot from her. Something about her just makes Tonic feel like she's missing something, though.

Hylla

The first person Tonic goes to when she needs a minute to calm down. Tonic finds Hylla's down-to-earth attitude very grounding, and her presence is a comfort like nothing else.

Felusi

Admittedly not the closest of friends. Tonic is pretty sure Felusi hates her, but she's trying her damnedest to change that. Everything about them is just so cool, she has to be their friend!

Endara

A former occupational rival turned friend after a mutually beneficial alliance. Alchemy is a lot easier with twice the hands, after all.

Cillian

Their conversations on science can last for hours if nobody stops them. Their time together is either spent talking each other's ears off or silently reading through every book in the room, and rarely anything in between.
