Excuse me! Mister? How do you make a fireball? (MxF looking for M)

Name: Liora (For those curious, it means "my light" I believe)
Age: Unknown, but pre-teen.

Background: Liora was given to an orphanage when she was an infant, and has lived there since then. But since those who don't work don't eat, Liora has tried hard to make herself useful. As a result, she learned how to read and write, and do basic math, making her popular as a helping hand among scholars and libraries. Other than that, she can clean and run errands.

What Liora isn't aware of however is that she was born with a talent for magic, and a lot of mana to fuel it. While some would consider it a blessing, it is unfortunately useless if one is not aware of it, or has no mentor to guide her through both the wonders, and possible dangers of magic.

Personality: For someone her age, Liora is surprisingly smart, and aware of it. So much so that she prefers to pretend to be naive and a bit of an airhead to avoid jealousy from her peers, and too much attention from adults. Not that she would regularly outsmart an adult, but having read a few books about one or the other subject already, turned her into a decent chess player, and a capable assistant. And like many children her age, she is naturally curious.
