Neera

""Casting wild magic is like playing a flute by ear...when I miss a note, the flute shoots fire at everyone. Also the flue sometimes turns me into a hamster.""

Neera was a half-elf wild mage that traveled across west Faerûn during the mid–14 century DR.

Description
Neera previously had lavender-colored hair, but it was changed pink as a result of a wild surge.

Personality
Most of the time Neera was quite upbeat and whimsical, though like her magical powers, her mood was not always predictable. On a deeper level she was troubled by events in her past.

Neera had the habit of making nicknames for people that were often not well received.

Abilities
As a wild mage, Neera was a powerful and at times dangerous spellcaster whose magic often had unforeseeable results. Her instructors believed it was a flaw in her character that caused her wild surges.

Possessions
Neera had few possessions, but did own a unique quarterstaff that she won from a classmate Pollae.

History
Needs was born and grew up in the community Highbough within the High Forest. She trained in magic with the other elves of her village and learned about her unpredictable powers at a young age. On one occasion she started a large when attempting to create a sphere of fire. She ran away from her home and went to live in the surrounding area in the forest.

She stayed in the woods for some time but regularly became involved with the wrong sorts of people. Eventually the treant Turlang intervened and exiled her from the High Forest for good. She wandered the surrounding lands for some time but was ill-suited for a life on the road.

At some point she stole 200 gold pieces from a halfling man named Meklin while he slept. To get away from him she threw a pot over his head and beat it with a spoon.

Some time around the, a team of Red Wizards guided by the invoker Ekandor began to chase after Neera. She fled from them for months, eventually reaching the town of Beregost.

After evading the Red Wizards, Neera sought out a fellow wild mage by the name of Adoy. She believed he could help her with the erratic effects caused by her magic. She found him at his hidden enclave east of the Firewine Bridge, but was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Ekandor and his allies.

At some point she may have exploded herself and set a fire within the fort.
