Background and Relationships
A flower of English nobility, Portia is young, sweet, manipulative, determined, and pliable, all at once. She is very much a product of her class and culture, but is also influenced by her highly scandalous Irish Catholic family, her Cowboy-fetishizing uncle, her scholarly father, and her intimate friendships at all levels of society. She rarely thinks about it, and the dissonance of her conflicting assumptions have not disturbed her too much, yet.
Portia feels strong respect for Havelock but strongly suspects that Dohr is an adrenaline junkie who substitutes testosterone for brains, or would, if she had the concepts for it. She is learning to not only use her new abilities, but to feel like they are completely natural, or that they were always there, waiting for her. Because Havelock taught her, she associates her gaining them with him, and thus he gains in her affection even further than his level head would already account for. Her feeling that Dorh is impulsive does not mean she does not like him, because she does, but it means she feels he needs to be managed a bit, rather like Uncle Teddy, when his enthusiasm gets the better of him. In a way, she thinks of Havelock as his wife, being the level-headed one in the partnership, which is why she asked him what he thought of one of Dohr's brainstorms.
She also feels responsible for her fellow Gatewalkers (that is, the adolescents who passed through the Shadowgate to this strange new world) as she is gentry and therefore considers herself to be the natural person to be making decisions in a crisis. It is not a conscious thought, but duty and obligation are as much part of being gentry as privilege and power, in her world. And, because two out of three of her companions were employees of her family, one way or another, that feeling is even stronger than it might otherwise be.
Goals
Short-Term Goal: Arrive in Havelock's Civilization
Longterm Goal:
Notes: Wind Shaper allows me to endow weapons with the power of the wind, granting a +2 elemental damage, with a minor action.
Current Level: Two
