One of the older students of magic at the school, Liina has been diligently studying healing magics and medicines for many years. As her studies progressed, she found herself in a great position to aid others. She became an assistant to several teachers, even teaching a class herself at one point. Her hands-on approach has made her one of the more effective tutors.
Liina is a gyrinx, which can psychically bond with another, sharing thoughts and information freely with their other. In Liina's case, she bonded with a human mage in training named Marla. Marla met Liina in the woods while studying flora in the field. Young Liina was herself seeking a spiritual quest as a rite of passage for her tribe. The two became friends and Marla would seek out Liina during her excursions to act as a guide. Over time, the psychic bond began to form and Liina now knew where Marla was and when she was coming. Upon reaching adulthood, Liina followed Marla to the school, where keeping the gyrinx from following her bestie to her classes proved difficult. Unsure how to progress or if the link had done any damage to Liina's development, Marla sought the aid of one of the teachers.
The teacher, specializing in magical creatures, explained to Marla what a gyrinx was and how the psychic bond was actually part of the developing process for gyrinxes. Through the connection, the two can share what they've learned, including languages, sciences, and magics. Essentially now an intellectual tag team, Liina helped Marla in her studies, though there was actually relatively little Liina already knew that even applied to Marla's studies. The knowledge and experiences of all exams and tests were felt by the feline as well. It took many years and assessments before Liina was able to be admitted as a student after finally figuring out how to test her in a way that wouldn't fit the definition of cheating. Marla's schooling career was learned by Liina as well, which worked just fine with Liina as she wanted to study healing, a field Marla had not really touched during her time. Liina and Marla have each studied various methods of divination, though they vastly disagree on how reliable divination is.
Liina is currently studying elves and their magic, language, and history. The purple gems embedded in Liina's chest and forehead are elven tools to focus magic and psychic energy. She's even been able to learn how to shapeshift into an elven form herself, to better understand their magic. To date, it is the only form of shapeshifting she's been able to do.
Liina's magic is mainly tied to her own body's function, relying heavily on her own health, diet, and sleep patterns. Liina suffers the regular cycle of estrus, which in turn massively increases her own magic output. During her estrus cycle, Liina is nearly constantly using magic to release the energy and ease the tortures of her body's needs. Her divination becomes far more accurate during this time and she is frequently doing readings for others. Quiet jokes about Liina's rune castings and tarot readings are exchanged between other students.
Loose flowing clothing is common among practitioners of magic as it facilitates the motion of magic through and around them. Liina tends to wear yellows and purples, typically lighter fabrics. When alone in her quarters, she often goes nude, only dressing when leaving or expecting guests.
She has had very few sexual partners over her life, treating the act of sex as something intimate and personal. Those with whom she has made love found she is a gentle lover, going slow and drawing the act out, easing toward climax in warm and comforting embrace. Liina takes the opportunity of the intimate connection to use healing magic during sex to reach deep inside her partner and apply the healing to the heart and soul. She will spend hours after sex cuddling and holding her partner, gently stroking the back of their head while they cry, letting go of so much pain and tension, loosened by Liina's application of magic.
A hydra seen at the school several times one day approached Liina, requesting her assistance. The hydra was named Henza, and he needed advice. Henza's lover, the new head librarian, was quite a bit smaller than the hydra. Henza needed advice on how he could continue being intimate with his lover without harming him. Liina offered her assistance with personal lessons, helping the two work out the mechanics of their sizes. It so happened, Liina herself began to feel an attraction to the two.
And so, they became three, exploring each other and learning much. Liina loves her boys and takes great joy in watching them express their love as well.
