Reimian Empire

Despite being born in the Kingdom of Alait, Livia spent her entire youth in Akkerwald due to her father's work, living in a settlement for noble persons, somewhat removed from the unnecessary urban bustle of the common folk. As the daughter of Malena, a noble elven sorceress who preferred the lifestyle of a socialite, and Loran, a combat mage, Livia showed great promise from birth.
The girl was a long-awaited child, so for a time, her father hoped she would continue his career and become a great elf. Her appearance was atypical, as her hair was not blonde, but fiery red. Livia demonstrated tiny sparks of aptitude for all magical elements (she could light a candle with a tremendous effort of thought, slightly improve conditions for plants, summon a light breeze indoors, and turn water droplets into ice peas), so she was sent to learn the basics of Imperial magic. Among other things, Loran was convinced that the girl was capable of mastering many disciplines simultaneously; therefore, despite the protests of his beloved wife, he personally taught her the skills of the Imperial Military Academy in her free time.
Time passed, and Livia still failed to develop her magical abilities, while the private practice under her father proved beneficial. The girl learned to navigate unfamiliar terrain quite well, and thanks to her intensive training, she began to dream of entering the service of the Imperial troops. However, this was not enough; physically, the elf exhibited her mother's fragile build and an increased clumsiness, which was not very characteristic of her kin.
When her father was once again forced to depart for military operations, the girl had to temporarily leave her studies again. In such moments, she began to communicate closely with Eric, the son of her father's friend, who was a few years older and, unlike her, had an excellent command of fire and was gradually mastering the healing magic of water. Livia's social circle was extremely limited, so despite the constant jokes about her physical and magical strength, he was her closest friend and companion.
Her father's return from military operations fundamentally changed Livia's life. First and foremost, having witnessed the deaths of many comrades, he made a firm decision to shield his daughter from such horror, and thus ceased his lessons with her. At the same time, Loran and Malena decided to expand their family by another elf. This time it did not take long, and soon the noble spouses became parents again. And this time they were luckier; a son was born with promising aptitudes, who truly promised to become not only an heir but a great wizard.
These events distanced Loran from Livia significantly, while Malena decided to take a direct hand in raising her daughter; thus, instead of studying military or magical arts, the girl was expected to prepare to become a noble lady. Meanwhile, the younger son, Eldir, received immense love and a great deal of attention from birth. All this hit the elf hard; she had to struggle greatly to overcome the growing hatred she felt toward her younger brother.
Time passed, and the rascal Eldir grew stronger in all directions every day; he had a good command of fire magic, managed the air element quite well, and was physically more developed than his peers, though he was not very disciplined and struggled with more precise sciences. Meanwhile, Livia was a true role model; she pretended in every way that she was interested in being a lady, but in secret, she continued to read various literature on magical and military arts. Furthermore, the elf periodically had to endure minor pranks from her younger brother, who considered tormenting his older sister the main goal in life. Everyone in the house knew about Eldir's mean tricks against Livia, but they were never stopped, as the parents were convinced that boys are prone to mischief, while noble ladies should demonstrate a high level of tolerance and restraint. But this did not stop Livia from developing a hatred for the little, as she considered him, degenerate.
The only joy for the girl was the time she spent in the forest with her best friend, Eric. The youth enjoyed pulling his friend away from boring household chores to practice the skills he had mastered together with her. In addition, they often observed animals in the forest; Livia even kept a diary in which she recorded all her most interesting observations.
However, life played a cruel joke here as well; after successfully completing his studies at the Imperial School of Magic, Eric was invited for several years of practice in the Kingdom of Alait. And although he wished to take his friend with him, her family gave a strict refusal, arguing that the elf was not yet ready for an independent life outside the home, and he had no intention of refusing such a promising opportunity.
This event reinforced Livia's tendency to make incorrect, hasty conclusions: rationally, she understood that Eric had made the right decision, but at the same time, she was left alone, so it was easier for her to perceive his action as betrayal than to admit to herself that she simply did not know how to get along with others. The only thing the young elf left his friend was his personal staff of fire, which had once been custom-made for him. The girl did not wish to accept this gift, but she did not want to argue with her parents, so she forced herself to take the staff, which subsequently gathered dust in a closet for a long time. Now Livia had nothing left but her favorite books and the animals in the forest, who became her best friends and companions.
Finally, luck turned in her favor; secretly studying another textbook from the Imperial School of Magic and recalling past lessons, the girl mastered illusion. She felt a surge of power and even wanted to boast about her newly acquired talent to her family. However, in a subtle, tactful conversation about whether she should return to magic, Livia encountered an extremely negative reaction, so she decided to keep her practice a secret. Now she had more motivation to escape the house into the forest more often under the guise of observing animals for further magical practice.
And although for the first time in a long while Livia began to feel happy and in a sense free, she knew practically nothing about real life. She knew of love only from books, and her feelings for Eric were exclusively friendly. She knew of war only from books and her father's stories, so she saw it as something important and heroic, rather than a vast number of corpses of innocent people, pain, and agonizing, heavy deaths. Regarding life in society, she knew only what her parents allowed; hunger, disease, betrayal, and deception were foreign to her. Even as a young woman, Livia only acted the part for appearance's sake. Her father always generously gifted her jewelry, clothing, and money that she could spend on cosmetics and minor feminine whims. She preferred to save this money and spend it bit by bit on books that interested her, justifying this by saying she was learning to manage finances correctly.
Perhaps Livia would have continued her lifestyle, in which she felt exactly as free as she needed to be. But one day, her younger brother Eldar decided to secretly follow his sister on her next forest walk with the aim of playing another prank on her.
On that ill-fated day, Livia decided to try and develop her ability for water magic; she hoped to summon rain following the instructions in the textbook, which she had been unable to do. A few days prior, the girl had tried to summon a small fire storm, in which she had also failed.
But Eldar could not understand what his sister was doing, nor did he want to. Instead, he decided to play a small, as it seemed to him, prank. He summoned a light flame and directed it toward his sister. The young elf was certain that only his victim's clothing would suffer from his magic, but he was mistaken. Instead of the dress, the girl's long and beautiful ears caught fire, while her hair remained untouched.
Livia grabbed them with a painful scream, causing the tongues of flame to engulf her palms. The girl reflexively threw her arms apart, which triggered a powerful fire storm that now engulfed the entire forest.
For the first time in her short life, Eldar realized he had done something terrible. He reflexively ran to his sister to extinguish her hands and ears, and to get out of the forest with her. The elf did not understand what was happening, so when her brother approached her, instead of taking his hand, she pushed him away, after which the youth's entire body ignited in fire. But Livia no longer realized this, as she lost consciousness from the smoke created by her fire vortex. By a miracle, the brother and sister survived; onlookers who rushed to the forest fire found them in a forest full of smoke and soot, which the magical fire had left behind.
Livia escaped with burns on her ears and the backs of her hands, which, according to the healers, no magic could fix. Therefore, the girl is now forced to wear elaborate hairstyles and gloves for the rest of her life to hide her defects. Her younger brother was far less lucky, as almost his entire body suffered burns. And although the prognosis for his recovery was much more positive and he faced a smaller number of future flaws, at that moment he was much worse off.
This event did not pass without a trace for the whole family. Now the elf had to honestly admit that she was trying to practice the magical arts and how she had succeeded in creating illusions (however, she chose to omit the part about attempting the fire storm). The parents were furious, but at the same time, Loran could not help but admit that his daughter had demonstrated powerful abilities. Therefore, it was decided to place Livia under house arrest, though accompanied by her father, she was able to visit the Imperial School of Magic several more times, where she finally managed to demonstrate her ability to control new skills. It became obvious to everyone that Livia's undeveloped potential was bursting forth and that she could learn much more.
But this fact did not please the young elf. It was hard for her to realize the price at which she had learned to control fire, so she spent whole days crying by her brother's bed, who spent most of his time pretending to be asleep, as he considered himself the only one to blame (and in general, perhaps, he learned a lifelong lesson about consequences).
With each passing day, seeing her brother and the stern looks of her parents, Livia grew more and more melancholy. Two thoughts flashed through her head in confusion: either commit suicide, or leave home and try to start a new life. She could also leave everything as it was, but that option certainly promised her no peace of mind.
Finally, the day came when Livia could choose one of the options swirling in her head. The first sign was an unexpected gift in the form of a box, elegantly wrapped and packed in expensive wrapping materials, from an anonymous person. Inside was a complete set of clothes and a small note describing that this gift was created using the same technology as the uniform of a student at the Alait Academy of Magic (to slightly enhance the wearer's abilities), but custom-sewn with a design based on the customer's personal preferences. Livia mistakenly thought that this gift was from her parents, so she did not dare resist the requirements and tried it on. Moreover, the outfit fit her figure perfectly, although such a look seemed slightly vulgar to her. The set even included gloves made of a much more pleasant material; it even began to seem to her as if her hands were completely healthy.
However, even greater surprises awaited the girl. Her parents presented her with the fact that it was time for her to grow up and become a full woman, and that in two or three days a fiancé would arrive, with whom they would soon have a wedding and move to the Kingdom of Alait, where she could develop her abilities in a peaceful environment. And her outfit was a wedding gift from the fiancé. They didn't even tell the girl who they planned to link her life with. Her father limited the information to saying that he was a good friend and that he was ready to entrust his life to him, and her mother could not forgive her for the injuries of her beloved little son, so she rarely spoke with her at all.
The news drove the elf out of her mind. She found it especially disgusting to realize that her parents had not hesitated to tell some unknown man all her shapes and sizes. She imagined herself walking down the aisle with some old man who, at best, was fit to be her father (even though elves look wonderful even in old age).
But she was not ready to give everyone the pleasure of her own death. No, it was better to set off on a journey, like those Livia loved to read about in books. True, she didn't think about the fact that in life everything is not quite so wonderful and that overcoming difficulties would not be so easy, but she didn't care. Therefore, the girl prepared her things, took the fire staff she had previously considered useless, grabbed some supplies from the kitchen, gathered all her saved money, put a textbook on fire magic she hadn't yet studied and her favorite diary into her favorite travel bag. Before leaving, Livia decided to rest a bit to gather strength before her escape. And late in the evening, when everyone was busy with their own affairs, the girl put on her new outfit (it would be foolish to refuse something that could make her a bit stronger, and she especially did not want to part with the comfortable gloves).
The elf left the house, still not realizing that she had once again made an extremely hasty conclusion. If not for Loran's quirk of character and Malena's foolish whims, the girl would have found out that her fiancé was to be Eric, who, unlike Livia, had always considered her more than just a friend. The man had long waited for an opportunity to take his beloved away from her strict, overprotective family, but circumstances had kept him from her. Finally, Loran himself reached out with a surprising proposal to take his daughter as a wife and accept her for training at the academy of magic. He had no plans to force Livia into anything; he simply wanted to grant her that very freedom, with a safe and comfortable lifestyle, for which she was created.
Only a raven, which often hung around their house (it had long developed a reflex that they fed well here), flew out to see the fugitive off. Livia called him Chubby because of his insatiable appetite. But this time, no one intended to feed the bird anything.
