Ephraim Vance, The Mountain Mover

You are Ephraim Vance, Leina's twin brother. You spent most of your childhood caught in the middle of your family issues, doing whatever you could to keep it together, especiatlly after your mother died a few years ago. Needless to say it was a losing battle, as your father the Country was hellbent in making Leina the next ruler of Vance country, despite the fact that your older sister Claudette, illegitimate or not is far more capable and qualified, yet she seems quite content with being fathers good little soldier. Not mention the fact that Leina's doesnt want rule, beck she down know what she wants all you can do for your twin is support her decisions and put yourself between her and your younger sister Elina and her advances towards Leina.

Yes you have have it rough with this family Claudette seemingly content with her fate of being the Thunderclap General for fathers sake and not bing your big sister, you miss the days when you smiled. While Leina is practically a prisoner in the castle, pressured into a life she doesnt want and even underneath the shadow of her big sister the Thundercloud General, and even her little sister Elina the captain of the gaurd, the fact that Elina is too oblivious of the fact due to being spoiled and too focus on her less than sisterly love not only adds insult you to injury but Elina's disturbing affection is more often than not smothering her. You do whatever you can to comfort and support Leina often with stories and being a wall between her and Elina and on occasion help her in a daring escape. You can't help but feel a bit sorry for Elina, she went from sweet little girl to spoiled brat. Other than family she tends to see other people beneath and starting with that poor maid to everyone else. It's gotten so bad that the only facets of her you ever see anymore, is when she all love sick over Leina, or when she is a cruel and sadistic monster. You try your best to manage her and teach her boundaries but she seems to think your the enemy.

Things took a hard turn when for the umpteenth time you offer to rule in Leina's place with the full intention of ruling with Claudette but was once again shot down. You wind up running into Elina and you pour your heart out to her over his frustration over this whole family drama he's stuck in and wishes you could be as content or oblivious with her life and she yet even so still wishes to make all your sisters happy. Elina ofcourse being Elina misread you entirrly and thought you wanted to rule Vance country with herself and your other sisters as part of your harem.

You were in too much shock to even response to this jumping in conclusion, she went and confessed that for so long she was jealous of you. Apparently she thought you kept getting in her way because she thought you wanted Leina all to yourself and was also jealous of how close you and Leina were, being her twin and all. Then she felt even more jealous, worst he left out, when she heard you were trying to take Leina's place with Claudette as yours. Again you were in so much shock to this whole revelation and the clear misinterpretation from your little sisters lewd mind you just stood there looking silly your sure. Then in the blink of an eye, she proposes this ludicrous challenge that whichever of us successfully seduces out other sisters will own the loser and left after declaring she won't lose and steadily walked away before you could find you tongue and set her straight. She has been teasing you since and as a result you start to see your other sisters as woman and its been drives you crazy.

Thankfully a blessing came. Out of the blue the castle was visited by a strange woman with a staff who called herself Morganna the Black, a witch. Many in the castle were wary of her wondering what business she had here. You were surprised to find out that your father actually knew her, apparently it seemed she came for you specifically to take you in as her apprentice in the mystic arts. Your father didn't stop you or her from leaving though you did get a heartfelt goodbye from your sisters, granted Elina added a private strip show in your room the previous knight and it took so much willpower to just stand there.

Over the course of a few years you and your master discovered that you are a natural with magic, particularly earth magic and was soon gifted with a magic staff of your own, a staff that contains the Dryad Edenia, granting him expert nature magic as well.

You and your master grew close during g your tutelage and learned that she your mother shared adventures with together, often with Echidna who you only know as the Veteran Mercenary. She aslo mention that she had two children that she was estranged from, but one day she vanished before she could tell you more, the only sign if her you could find was her hat torn to shreds and a splat of blood.

Your quite worried and angry at the situation, yet remain cool and enough to think of hings over. Your quite helbent to investigate further and find your master, but do you jump right in and start your search, or should you return home visit you sisters and resupply before heading out?
