Jam Character Sheet

Extended background:

Born in Kirkwall, Jam ended up in the Gallows at the age of 7. When she started displaying magical abilities her parents got scared and immidiately gave her up to the Templars, which lead Jam to have some trust issues and she's been slightly paranoid ever since. Within the Circle Jam didn't have many friends, she was a loner and mostly kept to herself. She wasn't overly ambitious about her studies in magic either and only improved in the spirit school. Due to her lack of friends, Jam took to speaking to herself a lot. Which didn't exaclty help her social standing in the Circle and lead to some whispers of her being mentally unstable. But as she grew up a young Templar named Ser Graham started to notice her and she was quick to use the strange friendship to her advantage, using her charm to make him fetch books for her, carry her stuff and be her guineapig for magical experiments (most of which he made it out of without serious injury). As time passed Ser Graham started having feelings for her, feelings that weren't answered. But the whispers of Jam being unstable had over the years grown into rumors and from rumors to assumed facts and Jam's stay in the Gallows turned more and more unpleasant. This lead her to cling to Ser Graham and lead him on out of fear that he'd betray her if he found out his feelings weren't answered. One day Jam decided she had enough of the bullying and the confining walls of the Gallows. Again using Ser Graham for her own gain she convinced him to get her phylactery, telling him she wanted to run away with him. But well out of the Gallows and away from the city, Graham started getting... passionate and Jam tried to push him away as she had no real interest in him. The two had an argument which quickly turned violent and in the end Jam was forced to kill him. She took her phylactery and some coins from his pack and ran. With Ser Graham's coin she managed to get on a ship to Ferelden but from there things turned bad. She quickly realized she had no experience with the world outside of the Circle and her paranoia of being found by the Templars along with her trust issues made it hard for her to find work. She eventually resigned to a life of walking the roads or sitting outside of inns and taverns, hoping for a kind soul to spare her some coins. The only advantage of that being that people rarely notices a beggar. Not even Templars...
