Physical Description:
Image from Might and Magic: Heroes VII
Vesyll is one of the students who don't care enough for their clothing, or just don't have the means to fight against the uniform. Because of her size, she wears the robes designed for the young underclassmen. The underside is covered with protective runes - a necessity in Wyrdwood, as she has no intention of falling prey to a misaimed spell. The only expression of individuality that she - and the regulations - allows, is a golden-red fez. Every now and then, she wakes up to find that Ria Thalance has added some extra tassels or ruffles to it, but she pretends not to notice every time. It drives him nuts.

Personality: Vesyll has a very no-nonsense, straightforward approach that makes her a pleasure to deal with professionally, and an odd one out among the... colourful personalities of other Wyrdwood students. Her greatest strength is undoubtedly firm knowledge of her own strengths, weaknesses and limits - she rarely misjudges her capacity and only takes on challenges she can meet.

Magic/Abilities:
- Vesyll has the ability to alter, create and destroy colour, and the world is transformed with accordance to her changes.
- She has also been taking a few artifice courses and has been apprenticed to a mageforge professor
- Under her tongue she has planted the seed of the two-lip flower. As long as it stays there, she is able to communicate her meaning clearly, no mater the language.
- A skilled cobbler... for the fae. She has no idea how to make shoes for mortals whose legs defy all understanding

Relationships:
- Thomas Margatroid, a mortal who won her pot of gold. Deceased
- Rianharr Thalance, a Wyrdwood friend
- Doomfang, her goose familiar

History: She used to live a pretty routine life, one any fae scholar could use as a model leprechaun. She gathered the coins buried in the earth to store them in a large pot at the end of the rainbow; it was quite a simple task to someone with the power to draw colour from the soil and turn it transparent. She also made shoes for the nearby faerie; she kept a whole garden of lady's slipper orchid to work from.

Her life was turned around when a Verdan man by the name of Thomas Margatroid found her pot at the end of a rainbow. The rules were clear on the subject, but she was unwilling to give up the fruit of all her hard work. She tricked Thomas into challenging her to a competition - and, being a young Verdan boy, he challenged her to Monster Mash. The leprechaun had no idea what she was getting into, but accepted nevertheless. She was promptly defeated and had to give up the pot.
This event changed her life - and not just because she had to work from scratch. She traced her defeat to her ignorance of her limits - had she accepted that she probably could not blitz through something new and complicated; and held her ground, Thomas would have to come up with something different and maybe she would still have her pot. Because of this, she spent a lot of time in introspection to know herself better.

Even though she lost her pot of gold, there was still a tenuous connection in place - and it was that connection that allowed to sense Thomas' death. He fell to his death in a gem mine shaft, becoming a cautionary tale against greed for young Verdans. As he has not yet spent the entirety of the gold he's won from the leprechaun, his family ended up donating it to Wyrdwood in his name.

That was a loophole she could capitalise on. While Thomas won her pot fair and square, neither his family nor Wyrdwood earned it and they had no right to use it as they pleased. She assumed the name of Vesyll and used the gold she's gathered in the meantime as her fee to enter in the college to recover what remained of her wealth.
