Quote: “The answers to all of the questions of the past are hidden somewhere, we just need to find them. Myths and visions can guide us, but nothing substitutes for hard facts.”
Background: Unlike many academic disciplines, for most of the 20th century, anthropology was a field unusually open to female students and professors. Even in the mid-1960s, a few especially dedicated young women trained to become cultural anthropologists and archeologists. Fossura was one of these pioneering women. She studied archeology at Columbia University and went off to archeological digs on Crete, Santorini and various small islands off the coast of Greece.
She earned her PhD in the early 1970s and settled down to what she assumed would be a long and productive academic career. After some events in Greece she Awakened and was recruited into the Mysterium, where she applied her passion for discovery to the study of magic and uncovering the truth about the legend of Atlantis.
Although now in her mid-60s, she continues to work as a professor. However, she does considerably less publishing and mundane research than she did before her Awakening. Instead, she pursues secret research into Atlantis and the magical artifacts that survived the Fall. She is utterly devoted to the task of separating fact from myth and fiction and determining as much as she can about the physical and magical realities of Atlantis and the world before the Fall.
She moved to Chicago as part of this, being part of the reclaimation of the city.
Description: Fossura is a slender, rugged-looking woman who appears to be in early middle age. Although she is in her mid-60s, careful use of Life magics allows her to appear to be in her mid-40s. To help disguise her youthful appearance, she dyes her short dark hair grey. Her weathered skin and deep tan indicate that she has spent much of her life outdoors. Her nimbus causes objects more than a decade older to sparkle slightly — the older the object, the more it glitters and glistens.
