Pertelope

Pertelope was one of the Chosen of the god Deneir and undoubtedly one of the most powerful headmistresses at the Edificant Library.

Description
Pertelope always appeared as a neatly groomed, graying woman. Her hazel eyes had an inquisitive luster more common to a much younger person. After the Chaos Curse took hold on the Edificant Library, Pertelope became even more closed up in her clothing, wearing high-cut gloves and a long-sleeved, ankle-length gown, bound tight about the collar, covering her transformed shark skin.

Personality
The priestess was wistful, irreverent, and mostly more concerned with common sense than steadfast rules.

Pertelope was a chosen of Deneir and reveled in her ability to hear Deneir's song.

She had an affinity for sharks and had loved watching them swimming in the water when going out fishing with her father.

Abilities
Pertelope's god bestowed on her powers granting prophetic dreams that always came true in time.

Activities
She was a headmistress at the Edificant Library and lived in a room above the great hall.

History
In the time of the Chaos Curse, Pertelope lost herself in her affinity for sharks, resulting in maintaining a featureless torso covered by a shark skin with sharp-edged pentacles. Being half-human and half-shark made breathing air as poisonous to her as water. She eventually passed away peacefully at Cadderly's side because of this.

Relationships
Pertelope was a mentor and substitute mother to the priest Cadderly Bonaduce. Pertelope meant even more to Cadderly after he discovered himself to be a chosen of Deneir.
