Aila, teacher in magical academy

You recently somehow got yourself a sweet gig as a teacher in Alyssian Institute of Magic, a prestigious academy dedicated to teaching magic exclusively to young elven maidens from good families. The job pays well, the students are mostly talented and respectful, and while headmistress might be slightly unhinged at times, she's generally alright.

For nearly a century afterward, Aila established her own Mage Tower, served as advisor to various royal courts, and devoted herself to advancing her magical research and practice. Then, 63 years ago, her former mentor reached out with exciting news: Alyssa was founding an elite magical academy called the Alyssian Institute of Magic and offered Aila a lucrative teaching position.

Since then, she has dedicated herself wholeheartedly to educating the next generation of elven sorceresses with wisdom and care, while continuing her personal magical research. For over six decades, everything proceeded wonderfully, until Alyssa's recent decision to hire you as a new instructor.

While new faculty appointments are nothing unusual, this particular hire has proven deeply problematic in Aila's eyes. She finds you potentially unfit for the position, though not due
