Background:
Ameline was born to two custos at a covenant in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The covenant was the home to a hermetic/holy order linked with House Ex Miscellania and the Priory of St. Nerious. She was raised from youth on the outskirts of the church and it drew her. By the time she was five, she spending most of her time assisting in prayers and helping the nuns of the convent order that was a quarter of the population.
As time went, she felt her love for god grow and the touch of his presence comforting her in her prayers. This burgeoned into faith that became a core of her nature. Then during the summoner just after her 10th birthday, one of the senior mages was checking the young of the convent to find a new apprentice before heading further afield. It turned out that she had a gift for the magic as well as prayer and so she was apprenticed to the order.
As she went through her training, her faith continued to grow as she thanked God for blessing her with the gift with every spell she casts. It worked well that she had a gift to do magic without verbal gestures that recitation of the rosary accompanied most of her spells. The angel that would periodically come to chastise for some error or tell her some task made things hard as were the strange visions that assailed her.
She continued her studies and her love of people translated to affinity for corpus. She passed her gauntlet and began her life as a mage. Her year consisted of 3 seasons a year in library or lab and the winter roamng from village and house to house to tend the sick and ill to insure that people could survive the cold that killed so many.
This pattern was followed for many years until nearly a decade had passed. It was then that she came on a child too sick for medicine and so she prayed. She fasted and prayed for several days and it was a blow as not only was her prayer not answered but rather she got pulled from the world that she could see and brought to be shown heaven and the virtues. She experienced hope without end despite harm but when she came to herself, the boy was dead and God withdrew some of his favor and closeness from her. She began to believe it was her fault. She could not blame god for what had to be her failing. She sought further confession and retreat for the rest of the winter, training in holy magic and slowly seeking to work even closer in ties to God. From then on, her magic was transformed and she pledged her self to God first and the order second.
She knows there will be trouble with the order most likely. She has studied the life of Nerius and knows that there is a good chance that his fate will be hers but if it happens, she will face it with courage and knows that God is with her no matter what happens. She knows the trap that was used to catch Nerius and so personally tries to avoid tribunal meetings.
Ameline left the covenant in 1224, following her own holy quest.
