Morvyth
Morvyth is an Old Faith Mage from the British Isles during the Dark Ages.
Background
Young, but wise beyond her years, Morvyth is a respected and influential figure among those who follow the Old Faith of the Isles. A powerful and elemental witch, Morvyth worships the maker of all things under the name Don, the Welsh mother-goddess.
Morvyth is something of a mendicant for her faith, who travels between scattered communities and congregations of pagans. She has claimed a small cray in Gwynedd, in Wales, from where she draws her power. Here she communes with the Great Mother, and here those seeking knowledge or supernatural assistance can visit her. However, she remains close to her root in Kernow, just across the Bristol Channel, and can frequently be found in Cornwall or Wessex.
Morvyth watches over her people, but plays a delicate balance between helping them and hindering them. She is well aware that when Christians come to ensure that Christ is being given His due, her presence is more harmful than helpful. She therefore does her best to remain hidden from anyone she doesn't recognize as pagan, and sometimes lures Christian interlopers into danger.
Image
Morvyth is a pretty, earthy and lively young woman. She is not beautiful, and despite her best efforts, seems to be older than she is. She wears the loose rags of the peasant woman.
Influence
Morvyth is well-respected among those who know her, but she keeps an extremely low profile.
