Haurra MadariToken.PNG Madari Lorea Melokotoi-Baratzea is a human sorceress. She is 4'3", 85 lbs, and 29 years old. Her birthday is 4-2 Heavenfall ???? FI. She is abnormally short in stature for a human and her mother attributes this to her being a fragile baby and child. She has light brownish blonde hair, dark green eyes and medium mocha skin (inherited from her mother who has a slightly darker skin tone).


Since her birth she has been called MadariToken.PNG Madari (mah-DAR-ee) as it is tradition in her mother's family for the first name of females to be largely ceremonial.


Madari is played by HelenAngel.


Campaign: Fenefeld

SPOILER: Madari's Character Sheet


History

MadariToken.PNG Madari was born to Tikoak ("Tiki") Melokotoi and Enbor Baratzea. She is the youngest of nine children. Her mother is the oldest daughter of a prosperous fruit and spice merchant while her father is one of seven siblings who inherited his family's fruit orchards.


The Merchant and The Farmer

The Melokotoi family is known for peddling their wares to towns all up and down the Rimen river. While initially only selling imported fruit at the beginning, as the family grew their wares grew as well. During the Fourth Interregnum, the family found that despite the population of Fenefeld growing the demand for fruit was not what it was. Dorrea Melokotoi, the family matriarch and shrewd businesswoman, uncovered that the wealthy Baratzea family had moved into the area to avoid war taxes in western duchies and purchased a large area of land. There they cultivated pear orchards and opened store in Fenefeld with not only fresh pears but wines, jams, compotes, and pastries also from their pear cultivars. Dorrea attempted to approach the patriarch of the Baratzea family but due to his paranoia of being discovered for draft dodging, he refused all meetings.


After the turmoil following the Fourth Interregnum had passed, Tiki attempted to succeed where Dorrea had not. Young and beautiful, she quickly charmed one of the heirs, Enbor Baratzea. While the official story told is that the two fell in love and thus began the perfect union of farmer and merchant, Tiki's sister believes that the courtship and romance was strictly business strategy to gain access to the Baratzea pear empire. After Tiki and Enbor were married, Tiki shut down the Baratzeas' shop in Fenefeld and instead had their pears and pear products distributed through the Melokotoi Trading Company.


Unlike his brothers, Enbor actually preferred to tend to his orchards himself and enjoyed the quiet and simplicity of their house at the orchards. Tiki, however, became a staple of the small but glitzy Fenefeld socialite scene and they purchased a manor in Fenefeld proper where she spent most of her time "attending to business." After the birth of their sixth child, Enbor insisted the children be raised at the house on the orchards in order to experience a more "wholesome" childhood in pastoral settings. Tiki would bounce back and forth between the houses but preferred to leave the child rearing to her husband and the nannies. After the birth of their eighth child, Tiki began spending more and more time in Arabelle in order to strike up a deal with the prominent Zapadri trading family there. After a lengthy stay, she returned to the orchards and complained of feeling ill. Unbeknownst to everyone until the day Madari was born, Tiki was pregnant. Rumors swirled about due to Tiki's "surprise" pregnancy, her lengthy dalliances with the Zapadri halfling merchant in Arabelle, and Madari's substantially smaller size compared to her siblings. If Enbor had any doubts about Madari's paternity, however, he did not show it and adored the little girl as he did all his children.

Childhood

To be continued- something boring about being raised at a pear orchard & having a nearly non-existent mother. Oh and having a talent for magic.


Teenage Years

Awkward and shy- father convinces her to go to University of Fresia to develop her gift. Goes on to complete a Magisters in Arcane Arts. Gets over being awkward and shy- kind of a party girl like her mom.

Adulthood

Returns to help father with the orchards after picking accident. Other siblings have it handled so she feels she isn't really needed. After being at uni, prefers the faster-paced life of the big city. Thinks she should settle down so becomes engaged but discovers fiancee is cheating, breaks things off after father has a heart-to-heart with her about the truth behind he and her mother's marriage.
