Appearance:
Standing close to six feet in height, Nessa's face and slender build would have you belive she is of elven decent, but her flame red hair and silver flecked eyes deny this impression. Carrying herself with poise and grace, she brings with her an air of calm and peacefulness that inclines others to listen to her words.
Personality:
While seeming studious and considered when on temple business, Nessa is it truth rather more playful and impulsive when in the company of those she trusts. A thirst for knowledge drives her, along with a strong desire to see something new every day, something well provided for by her current occupation.
Background:
Nessa comes from a long line of mages and priests, who have devoted themselves to Boccob's service over the generations. Like many of her family, she show signs of her celestial ancestry. Close to five hundred years ago, Kalliope, a Firre Eladrin, fell in love with Adruin Caoilfhionn, a wizard of pure heart. The lovers had three children, Taliesin, Caitlin and Brighid. Caitlin became a bard of great renown, and Brighid rose to become high priestess to Corellon Larethian. Taliesin, Nessa's ancestor, followed the path of his father and became a wizard, devoting his life to the pursuit of knowledge.
Born into Boccob's church, Nessa was tutored in magic as soon as she could read. While showing a fair talent for the arcane arts, her faith lead her to the priesthood. Her education covered magic, linguistics (primarily planar tongues), and once her teachers noted the girl's skill in debates, etiquette and diplomacy.
This combination of skills did not go unnoticed by her superiors, as they made her an ideal candidate to be a mediator in state and trade negotiation between Andeluvay and the Inner Planes. She gladly took this post, both because of the prestige, and it sating her own curiosity about those from other worlds. She proved very able diplomat, and her strong grasp of both arcane and divine magic has been used in repelling less welcome visitors who have tried to force their way into the city via it's many portals.
When not involved with matters planar, Nessa's debating were utilized by the Church of Boccob in the Council of the High King. She was a trusted aide to Boccob's High Priest when he is in attendance at the Council meeting, and has gained much insight into the working of the state as a result. Yet despite this trust, Nessa now works against her own church, openly supporting the proposed ban on necromantic reanimation championed by Orshallan. This act of disobedience has caused many in Boccob's clergy to question both her loyalty, and her fitness to continue to act with any religious authority.
Nessa has seen little of her own world outside of Andeluvay, with most of her time spent on the Planes or at the negotiation table. The furthest she's been from the city is Farlight, both times a part of an expedition from Boccob's temple.
