Vanessa Starsong had a reputation as a hero, and she'd certainly earned it. Her magical talents had sent hordes of goblins running, made bandits quake in their boots, and even made hardened soldiers hesitate. While elves were considered the de-facto masters of the arcane arts, Vanessa was known to boast that she could beat any "tree hugger" that challenged her.
Needless to say, the title of hero had gone to Vanessa's head, and her ego had grown considerably. Many elves were upset at her boasting, and challengers weren't uncommon. Vanessa had beaten every one so far, but a few had been more difficult to beat than Vanessa would readily admit.
It wasn't just elves Vanessa had to worry about. As a hero, she was still called upon to serve the kingdom when needed, and her reputation and honor demanded she answer the call. No ragtag brutes with no plan were going to be a problem, but it was the smart ones that could be dangerous.
An adventurer's life wasn't all grudges and enemies, however. There were plenty of other perils that could befall any mage, and just so happened to fall upon the elegant woman.
