Wren Stanton

Wren was born in the winter of 1118 to Margaret Stanton. For much of her life, Wren traveled with her mother's stage magic show and did her best to make friends at whatever town they were staying in. They never really stayed in any place for more than a few weeks.

somewhere along there she figured out she liked girls, and also that she was a girl. She already had some bird themes happening, what with being small and always migrating, so she leaned in to it and named herself Wren. Somewhere along that she also learned that she wanted to do magic. Like, real magic. Sure she saw the value of what her mom did, using magic to entertain, but Wren wanted her magic to Do Things.

Around the age of 13, Wren began studying magic under the guidance of Valinor (who her caravan just happened across while travelling, funny story). They would study together for a time, part ways as Wren kept travelling, and eventually Wren would find her way back to Valinor for more study whenever she was in the area. Sometime within this Wren leaned fully into the bird branding and made her feather cloak.

That was all well and good for nearly 7 years until Aching walked through a rift into Valinor's house, killed him, and took all of Wren's memories about studying with him. Cool Great.

Wren continued studying magic, she just studied on her own from then on.

uh then when she was 22 she fucking fell out of the sky during a sword storm and boom welcome to the burning lady arc? I realized that's something that we never fucking explained wow that's funny.

anyway Wren loves her friends and loves food and loves the concept of having a home town and absolutely had a crush on Oates but kept that quiet cuz she felt that wouldn't really work out great

after the events of the burning lady campaign and regaining all those memories she found Valinor's old house and turned it into a general store/town center and just founded a hometown from folks just wandering through and deciding to stay.
