Inia, Feline Mage

Lore[]

Inia recited the incantation as she waved a foxtail about, but her spell ended in yet another failure.  She was exasperated with everyone denying her potential to become a sorceress.  Positive that she possessed the same aptitude as her mother, she persevered in her training, all the while ignoring the repeated protests of her reluctant mentor.  “You’re feline, not human, and she was your owner, not your parent.”

Name origin[]

Inia is a variant form of Swedish and Danish feminine name Inie, a pet form of Scandinavian feminine & masculine Inge and strictly feminine Inga. The name is in origin a hypocorism of names beginning in the element ing-, whether a reference to either the god Ing (an obscure old Germanic fertility god; in Scandinavian mythology he was the progenitor of the Yngling lineage, a legendary dynasty of Swedish kings) or to the tribe of the Ingvaeones (who were presumably in turn named for the god); both derived from the Germanic root *Ingwaz, possibly meaning "ancestor".
