Shauneea Eyllsan

A grey half-dragon who serves as the librarian at Ryuheim, and who unearthed a spell to lengthen Ariyanae Voronin's lifespan without aging her like a mage.

Physical Description
Average height with long, dusty-grey hair usually kept in a braid, and grey-green eyes. While her build is generally bookish, she does have reasonably-built arms and shoulders from lifting stacks of books all day long.

Early Life
Born to a human woman who was subsequently abandoned by her dragon lover, Shauneea was raised near Senninheim. Her mother tried to instill a disdain for dragons in her after her father's abandonment, and extended exposure to the mages did instill a healthy dislike for human mages, leaving Shauneea to escape into her one refuge: books. She quickly developed a love of literature and scholarship, and while she never excelled in any particular area herself, she got quite acquainted with books on a general level, enough knowledge that when the Dragonking was recruiting for his fledgling city of Ryuheim, she was an easy pick as their librarian. She continued to dabble in scholarship as well, putting together occasional treatises and indices of information as she researched topics, and once or twice publishing a scholarly paper in Senninheim.

Relationship with Cydoran
At some point Cydoran Sokol was persuaded to leave Senninheim for Ryuheim, perhaps for research in Ryuheim's library, or at his cousin Davaon's or adoptive brother Tey's suggestion. With a penchant for literature and scholarship of his own, Cyd and Nea met among the stacks. Shauneea wasn't looking for a relationship at the time, but she did develop a friendship with Cydoran as she helped him with his research, and this friendship blossomed into affection and, finally, to both of their surprise, love. They ultimately married and had children together.

Nea was particularly upset by her husband's later illness, and greatly relieved to learn that it was a form of dragonsickness and the treatment a relatively simple one.

Life Extension Spell
When the dragons needed to find some way to lengthen Ariyanae's life, Shauneea was hesitant, remembering her mother's situation. Cydoran and the others were successful in persuading her to help, though, and she was the one who managed to uncover in a dusty tome a specific spell that would serve their purposes, though the cost was steep enough that it was no surprise the human mages didn't use it.

Skills and Abilities
Mad Librarian Skillz: Don't mess with her and her library. Her research skills are extremely developed, even if her scholarly abilities aren't as much.

Personality
Bookish and reserved, extremely introverted, and friends more with her books than with other people.

Cydoran Sokol
Shauneea's mate, a very scholarly and bookish person like herself.
