30 Days of Josephine, Merinita

Games Discussion Post a Day
18

Josephine has arrived at her second Tribunal, and is now eagerly seeking allies and compatriots from the other Magi.
Her primary goal at Tribunal will be to acquire lab texts and Tractati, unless in your Saga the Covenant she's from has an exceptional library. Of particular interest (Either way) is books tied to the Arthurian mythos.
By the time she's reached this Tribunal, she's actually losing a lot of her flirtatious ways, and is getting more and more frustrated by how all the men (and more than a few women) view her - her beauty combined with her mostly free-spirited ways frequently make pretty much anyone without magic resistance interested in her as a romantic partner. She is starting to get... very frustated at being viewed as an object to be pursued.
Unless the magi have already established relationships with her, she tends to view every approach by a male as an unwanted attraction. This might make Josie, the Other Doll, come after the player magi if they approach her too eagerly.
