Stephanie

Orphen's former partner. Stephanie was once a sorcerer named Stephan, but after sustaining mortal injuries in battle, he was forced to expend all his remaining power to heal himself. During this process, Stephan underwent other changes and is now Stephanie. She currently works as an archaeologist, deciphering the runes of the 'deities' (known as the Nornir or "The Heavenly Ones") who fought against sorcerers years ago. She is first introduced in the series when the group travels to Alenhatan, and her familiarity with Orphen initially makes Cleao jealous. She still resides in Alenhatan and has a boyfriend named Tim (whom she eventually marries), but she is often seen assisting Orphen and the others when they require someone who knows how to read and use the Nornir language/symbols.
