This is an NPC that I have created. And I am looking for people's opinions on what type of character they would expect.
I have been vague on purpose because I want to give you guys, just the information that a player would have about the character.
The character appears to be a white haired humanoid of indeterminate gender. Some see a young girl, others a young boy of approximately 14 or 15.
She carries what appears to be an elven bow but is never seen with any arrows.
Over the years she has appeared, always looking the same and offered her protection to travellers who are lost and confused.
Especially children or those with children in their party.
If her protection was refused, she has left peacefully to continue her journey, if accepted, she has travelled with the party to their journeys end - providing food and water, shelter and where needed she has defended the party against atrack and has showed a remarkable knowledge of the world for one who looks so young.
When she fights, she doesn't use the bow she carries - instead, she uses magic. Very powerful magic. The kind of magic that is told of in tales of the most powerful and legendary sorcerers (or maybe dragons)
When asked for her name, she will say "I am the white of the Draic Kin" and when pressed for details about herself, she will say "I was once known by your kind as the Magister of Light"
If pressed further she will not say anything else and if continuously pressed she will visibly appear agitated, though she will not abandon or attack her charges.
So, that is pretty much everything a character in game would know about this NPC.
What kind of character would you expect and who would you expect this NPC to be?

Well the name obviously makes me think of the Longest Journey Saga..........
I would be expecting someone that does not want to do harm or kill. That will defend against any evil that he/she sees.
Also I would invision, an old man/women, in the similar vain to Gandalf, someone that just wants to help.
