In this AU, Savil "Sayvil" Ashkevron (she changed the spelling of her name to make it easier to pronounce) is back to being a human again. She's a Mage, of course--an Obrimos, in fact, which are what you might call the paladins of Mages. That is to say that they tend to believe they've been Awakened in service of some higher power and tend to dedicate their lives to Doing Good and Making the World a Better Place.

Unlike her neighbor Torin, she very much seems to be the age she is, which happens to be somewhere in her seventies, perhaps close to eighty. Her hair has been grey since her thirties and she's got a very prominent nose, which according to her is hereditary. She tends to dress plainly, in trousers and tunic tops, and she wears a lot of white, with a smattering of blues and greys.

Also unlike Torin, she's actually been through a few apprentices. Most of them managed to make it out of their apprenticeships fairly intact or if they perished did so in a fairly valiant and useful manner, but the last but one, a young man by the name of Ty, ended up as one of the Mad Ones after his twin brother died at the hands of a rival gangmember. It broke her heart to take Ty down, despite all the awful shit he was doing, and she wouldn't have taken her final apprentice if said apprentice hadn't been her nephew.

(Said nephew, who'd been Awakened during Ty's rampage, had been staying with her after his father threw him out of his house for being gay. He managed to make it out of his apprenticeship surprisingly well for such a traumatic start and is currently a Citizen Agent of good standing in the Free Council.)

All that mess happened twenty years ago, of course, and these days she's perfectly happy to devote what time she would have used to train an apprentice to the study of leylines, as part of the Telluric Legacy. When she was younger she served as a Letter Carrier for the Free Council, but she's long retired from all that.
