The stories that Lari tells are often remarkable and some-say-unbelievable. But she is a terrible liar, and anyone that knows her understands that she's always truthful about their contents if not necessarily as accurate as other historical or observational accounts. (That is to say: she definitely has one version of her adventuring party's stories that differ from the others! Just ask Bequet - who was among them for quite a while!) But when she gets down to business, teaching or locating things, she's super focused and attentive to details that many others will miss. While she does cater to flighted students overall, she doesn't necessarily favor them for grades; if you screw up your Geometry test you're still going to get marked down, feathers or no. Lari does have extensive travels under her feathery tool-belt, having moved from realm to realm almost as easily as some more 'professional-level' genrehoppers. How she wound up moving between a 'fantasy realm' and Paragon City is anyone's guess, but there were similarly stranded folk and they made the best of it while there. Heroics were part and parcel for their group anyway! But the connections that Paragon had definitely allowed her to also move toward the west coast - and another dimension's Earth - to roost at Carramba. She does know the path she took, at some point, went to another realm - those notes lead to flipping through her sketch book and noting the differences between the Rhode Island of Twoarth and Primal Earth, but also quite a few of the similarities. She encourages anyone with powers of flight, teleportation, and dimension hopping to keep a journal. Many times it's actually a requirement of her course, but not every semester has a pile of kids with those abilities. If the group seems to be evenly matched with and without, she'll even put teams together to make sure that their school-time and vacation travels are documented as well as they can. Lari has been to other worlds that connect to Carramba, of course, not the least of which is Dragondeep, where her new beau Zyakkak resides with his amazing dragon! But not to be outdone - though it's hardly a competition - Lari soon discovered a portal to Nidus Aven had been 'left open'. And through that portal, a gorgeous pale gold opalescent dragoness emerged. Though young, Hearth seems... wiser than typical, and easily picks up information, apparently never forgetting it? An ideal companion for a teacher, obviously, Hearth has found her niche and might eventually gain the legal rights to help instruct, herself. |
