Nunes, Angela

Born Angela Zephyrheart of The Drift her aptitude for the magical arts became apparent at an early age. At the age of four she caused quite the uproar when after seeing a young wizard shoot light displays in the air, she proceeded to perform the same magic with all the temperament and caution of a four year old, blasting bolts into the crowd as much as into the air. Her family was of humble farmer stock and looked to the local wyverak riders for support with their extremely young and new mage. The local lord sought tutors for young Angela to teach her control and new spells until she was of an age to be sent to Wizard's Watch, while the wyverak riders placed her as an unofficial mascot for the squadron and spent time with her to practice her new spells and, most importantly, her aim.

By the time she was 9 years old and on her way to Wizard's Watch for training she had already mastered the evocation training of graduate mages. She found her time at school boring and without relent. She had not been molded to read from books and thinking about magic, Angela learned by seeing and doing, while school sought to teach by reading, absorbing, and thinking. Her greatest moments of joy were the times during the day for practical application and practice. She had officially graduated by her 5th year at the school after just turning 14, but held a difficult place in wizarding society where she was much too young to be employed but much to knowledgeable to be left to her whim. In probably the worst application of bureaucratic inspiration, she was put to work at the academy helping struggling student with remedial study.

Angela excelled at helping students who were about to slip through the cracks, she had insight with each one and sought ways of teaching that diverged from the old and tired ways of the school and that connected with students as people on an individual level. She used students strengths to gird their weaknesses and give them time to learn. With no amount of embellishment, she was situated well for teaching. However, while she was great at helping students learn the practice of constantly repeating old knowledge did wear on her spirit. She ached to advance her own craft and study even more advanced magics, so it is no surprise that she frequented Hidenth quite often... every chance she could in fact.

By the time she was 22 her position at the academy was solidified and she was much too valuable as a teacher to be sent elsewhere. Angela was promoted to Head of Faculty and celebrating in Hidenth when she met Darrion Nunes, fell in love, and married him.

Today Angela lives in Kellefor Keep wity her husband, the First Minister, while she chairs the lead of the Wizard's Guild and holds a seat on the Delegate Council.
