Personality: She is a melancholic, but persistent worker. She resents family life and as such spurns the advances of admirers. She is skeptical of what others tell her and is slow to trust.

History: She was born at the edge of vast desert. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the desert to a summer home near a ruined castle. She would wander through that ruined castle and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the desert due to the painful memories there. Mastema took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up falchion and armor she uses now. She routinely visits covens of witches but complains that many are fraudulent and lack true knowledge of magic.
