| - "Yeah, but what's in it for me?" Was the Sparkshine's family motto - always stick your nose into other people's business, even when they didn't want you to. And the Sparkshines always, always expected something in return, should their help been given, even when the help was unwanted. Altessa was greedy, yet far less greedy than her siblings. She was a fair bit smarter, and a fair bit taller, but more prone to get into trouble, mainly because she wasn't looking for it as often as her siblings; she received the brunt of their punishments and blame.

| - "Yeah, but what's in it for me?" Was the Sparkshine's family motto - always stick your nose into other people's business, even when they didn't want you to. And the Sparkshines always, always expected something in return, should their help been given, even when the help was unwanted. Altessa was greedy, yet far less greedy than her siblings. She was a fair bit smarter, and a fair bit taller, but more prone to get into trouble, mainly because she wasn't looking for it as often as her siblings; she received the brunt of their punishments and blame. Growing up, Altessa tried very hard to sneak around and go unnoticed, slipping into the old parts of Kezan, unlike her family who liked to barge loudly into things with a warcry (which almost resembled the sound from a squealing pig) and a flashy show of magic. She had no interest in learning magic like her family did - Altessa was more interested in relics, oddities, and ships in the old parts of Kezan, as well as learning about their history. There was a very short instance where she wanted to learn to become a priest, but venturing into that subject was a disaster. Becoming a priest would mean that her family would capitalize her for their own profit, and Altessa didn't want to repeat the experience of that particular conversation. Being a free spirit, Altessa decided enough was enough, and climbed upon the dinner table right after dinner was finished, declaring that she wanted nothing at all to do with magic, but her true goals were to become an Archaeologist. Half of her family fainted with disappointment and despair, while the other half looked on with indignation and surprise. There was then a loud clamor of yelling at Altessa, squawking disappointment in her pursuits of anything but magic. Altessa would hear none of it, simply stating that not everything could be done with magic, and she would prove to them that she could get by perfectly fine without it, thank you very much. That very day she packed and left home at the age of 16, ignoring the distraught cries of her family begging her to stay. The only memento she took with her was the family's heirloom dagger, elven in make and sporting an aquamarine on the hilt.
