Ars Magica character portrait

"Hi there. I finally got another session of my game together, and everyone was very complimentary about the portrait of Alberic, even asking for your Web site address. Thanks again for the great work on Alberic."
--the client

The character's name is Alberic, and he is a wizard's apprentice, one of only two survivors of a covenant that was wiped out. He's thirteen years old, not very big, and a little scrawny. He has brown hair, cut in the Norman fashion, though it's a little scruffy right now. The tunic he's wearing fits poorly (it was cut down from a tunic that belonged to an adult, and it wasn't a well-made tunic to begin with) and for the time being he's running around barefoot. Overall, right now he looks more like a ragamuffin than a wizard's apprentice.

Alberic is a bit shy, but he's inquisitive and smart. The expression on his face should be a bit forlorn - everyone he knew died a few months ago, and he hasn't quite recovered yet. He doesn't look miserable, but he doesn't look happy.
