A life of magic was not an easy one for Essie, who was a mage. She was required to take constant precautions against those who were afraid of and misunderstood her abilities, and she was frequently required to part with her children so that she could embark on missions to defend the kingdom from hostile forces. She was also forced to take constant precautions against those who misunderstood her abilities. Despite this, she made it a priority to pay regular visits to her family since she felt that they offered her the greatest amount of love and support for any group she had encountered in her life.
