==Background==
==Background==
Wolfheart was born to a family of traveling circus performers in Tir Tairngire. She had a natural way with animals and worked them into her family's performances. When she awakened, her focus shifted to honing her magical skills, and she was sent off to a school for gifted youths. She struggled against the strictures of the Path of the Wheel, however, and ultimately dropped out. After wandering Tir Tairngire, CalFree, and the western PCC for a few years, she eventually went to Seattle, where she has now decided to put down roots.
Danica Nielsen is a doctor of thaumaturgy who specializes in arcano-archaeology, enchanting, and ritual sorcery. She is a walking encyclopedia of magical knowledge. Originally from the Seattle metroplex, Dr. Nielsen attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison for her B.S. in Artificing, after which she went on to attain her M.M. (Master of Magic) in Arcanoarchaeology and her Th.D. (Doctor of Thaumaturgy) in Theoretical Magic. Her early career saw her doing field research for Mitsuhama Computer Technologies San Francisco, though she did not take to the rough environment of the wilderness, and she was mauled by a barghest when looking into an area with an unusual background count. She recovered, but when Mitsuhama wanted to send her back into the field, she couldn't stand the thought. This combined with rumors of shadowy metaplanar research programs and her knowledge of magical threats ultimately convinced her she needed to extract herself from that situation. She now makes a living as a shadowrunner, and Raven pushes her to uncover as many magical secrets as she can working outside the law.
 
Originally a Wild Druid, Wolfheart was something of a black sheep among the Druid community. She knew nothing about ritual spellcasting, nor did she remain in one place with a circle of practitioners. She has recently learned about rituals and the power inherent in the land, becoming a more orthodox Druid. She has a sacred circle in Tarislar, and another in Snohomish. [[Solace]] accepted her as its steward of the Druid faith.

*'''Astral Beacon & Animal Empathy:''' Wolfheart radiates an aura of calm that makes animals more willing to interact with her; the tradeoff is this aura is more easily visible on the astral plane, so hiding her magical nature is not so easy.
*'''Creature of Comfort (Middle):''' Spending time roughing it in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest did not agree with Doctor Marvel, and she hates living below her means.
*'''Bilingual:''' Having grown up in a multicultural family that straddled the disputed borderland between Tir Tairngire and CalFree, Wolfheart speaks both English and Sperethiel as a native.
*'''Favored (Specific, Biased (Academics)):''' Doctor Marvel is an academic herself and is often willing to give other scholars the benefit of the doubt.
*'''Chain Breaker:''' Wolfheart is known to the spirit world as an ally, and spirits are inclined to be forgiving and patient with her.
*'''Mentor Spirit (Raven, Alt):''' Doctor Marvel is guided by Raven in her endless pursuit of knowledge.
*'''Mentor Spirit: Wolf:''' Wolf spurs Wolfheart on to victory in combat, urging her never to back down from what needs doing. If only she knew how to shoot a gun.
*'''One Born Every Minute''': Grown up studying magic in academia, Doctor Marvel has led a sheltered life and doesn't often realize when she's being played.
*'''Spirit Whisperer:''' For some reason, spirits find Wolfheart interesting and more readily come when she calls for them. She doesn't know why they feel this way about her.
*'''Phobia (Uncommon, Moderate (Barghests)):''' After she was attacked by a barghest while looking into an odd background count in a research area, Doctor Marvel developed a phobia of them.
*'''Uncommon Moderate Phobia: Barghests:''' Wolfheart had a bad experience with trying to train a Barghest for her family's traveling circus when she was younger. Whenever corp security uses them, she struggles not to run away.
*'''Weak Immune System:''' Wolfheart has an immune system deficiency that hampers her ability to commune with nature for very long. She has developed magically-aided tracking skills, but any sort of long-term wilderness survival lies outside her grasp until she figures out a way around it or gets a treatment for her condition.
