Neanne de Sule is a black sheep among House Verditius, for preferring a more research-oriented career as a maga rather than as an artificer, which her House is known for. She believes she was meant to be a Bonisagus maga but had the unfortunate luck to be claimed by a mediocre magus in House Verditius with an ego disproportionate to his skill. Neanne is highly intelligent and is a talented glass-worker with a gift of creating beautiful works of art that make her a favourite among Jerbiton magi and those who appreciate art with that touch of creativity that transcends mere skill.

Unusual among magi, she keeps her family close. This mostly consists of her younger brother, his wife, and their daughter. Neanne suspects her niece is Gifted and is keeping a close eye on her progress. This has driven her to improve her skills to be able to claim her as an apprentice, though she has been debating on whether or not to let her apprentice under another magus that might best suit her temperament and skills.

She nurses a grudge against her former master, one that simmers quietly in the background waiting for her to come up with a way to humiliate him in a public setting.

Unlike other Verditius magi, she is relatively uninterested in the Inner Mysteries of her House. Other Verditius magi sneer at her pretense. After all, what could a crafter who doesn't even have a venditor or a forge-companion have to offer the Order?
