Ava Pantomime

Ava Pantomime is the matriarch of the Pantomime family.

Mother of Ingrid and Savus, and wife/widow of Galan, Ava once held the position of Councilwoman and adviser to the Council of Dumal before it's destruction at the hands of Savus.

Born in Dumal into a wealthy family, Ava was raised with a golden spoon in her mouth. Living as an only child, she was given tutors in things to be expected, such as manners, public speaking, math, and history. She was also provided with archery, espionage, politics, to help her climb the ranks of the elvhen hierarchy and bring honour and glory to her family. That way of life became ingrained in her, which transferred to her marriage to Galan, and ultimately broke their family apart.

Ava was a practicing nachreome, the opposite of her husband, who was a glaen. He entire family were regular practitioners, but it was kept heavily under wraps as nachreome is was considered unholy. She carried on her with it when she married Galan, but did so in secret, to prevent any scandals, or her wealthy husband from turning her out.

While she kept it a secret from her husband and children, Savus found out when he walked in on her praying one day. Finding he was more intrigued than appalled, Ava began including him in her things, teaching him texts, rituals, and spells. Eventually, as he got older, Savus began practicing on his own, though that bond between him and his mother never broke, even when he rebelled and ruined Dumal.

Ava wound up in Hope City, where her political talents and magic knowledge got her the seat of power over the city of thieves. She abandoned her name to stave off anyone who might have made it over from Dumal as well, preferring to go by The Sage instead. Using this position, and the adoration of the people around her, she kept feelers out in Eibolen for anyone who sounded suspicious or familiar. Ava did not dare venture out on her own, and stayed in Hope City for years until Samsara Ahvaani took Wine and the rest of their companions there to meet her, unknowing of who she really was.
