A trickster fae decided to leave a baby with a wizard who loved to experiment, hoping the child would become one of his experimental subjects. Instead the wizard named Amon decided to adopt the baby as his own child.
As Ember grew older, she fell in love with magic just as much as Amon did and dedicated her time to learning it. During one of the wizard’s experiments which involved Ember, she gained the ability to glimpse the future.
As a young child Ember pestered Amon to help her bond with a familiar. She soon had several spirit companions.
After Ember had learned the basics of magic from the wizard, he sent her out to collect the materials he needed. He also instructed her to take a dog along on her travels, both for companionship and to help locate magical herbs with its keen sense of smell.
The wizard occasionally communicates with Ember through the Sending spell, and she sends materials back to him through a one-way magical pouch.
