The Woman with Three Shadows.
If you must have a Legend, why not make it multiple-choice?
Tales are told of the mortal sorceress who gave up her humanity to slay a great evil and free the chained realms. Her name is lost, and she rules now from the shadows as the Silverthorn Countess. Meanwhile, in a land nearby, a lonely barmaid is growing up and building her life as Mayor of a strange little town. The Legend of Sedgewick is slowly growing, and mighty heroes from far lands come to delve into its dungeons. One of those is a sun-tressed enchantress. A fae hero who wields all aspects of magic.

The Lonely Barmaid: Your tavern is part of your realm and controlled by you. No one but you may use poison within it. If you choose to, you can increase the potency of alcohol consumed for an evening by 50%.
The Silver Sorceress: Your Moon Blade spell is twice as effective, doing 400 + (5 x DEX) damage, and may cause critical hits like a ranged attack. If you expend the mana each round, the silvery scimitar will continue to attack your enemy.
The Silverthorn Countess: In your own land, you control the Silverthorne that grows everywhere, and it is a foolish person who disregards their poisonous thorns. When traveling, your daggers drip with the poison that pervades your realm. Add 100+5x (Poisoner Skill) to all attacks with Silverthorn weapons.

Bright as the Sun
(CHA and RAD) Magic and Light are your heritage. High CHA and RAD reward you with +1000 Mana. Milestone
Three Shadows
(CHA and INT) The Fae walk among mortals unseen, showing the face that suits them for a time. High CHA and INT have given you the ability of Three Shadows, a powerful Glamour. Are you a dark-haired Lonely Barmaid? Or a sun-haired daughter of the Fae? Or something more terrible? Your identities are very distinct, and not a simple illusion. Only those you choose to trust will know the truth. Gain three additional Perks, only usable with one of your shadows.
Milestone
Subtle Casting
(DEX and CHA)
Fairy magics do not need the clumsy gestures and shouted words of mortals. High DEX and CHA reward you with Subtle Casting. It takes a keen eye to see that you are casting a spell. Devising a counter to your spells or reacting to them is difficult, even for a skilled mage. Milestone
Grace of the Elder Race
(AGI and CHR) The natural grace of your heritage is augmented by your high AGI and CHR, bestowing upon you the Grace of the Elder Race. +30% to any avoidance skill, or a skill involving balance. Your posture and poise show in every move you make. Milestone
Insight
(RAD and INT) Quick minds and sharp eyes discern the truth. High RAD and INT give you the perk: Insight. You spot the lies others tell, and the more they talk, the more they reveal about themselves. Half-Truths and carefully worded truths might still fool you. Simple glamours and illusions are seen for what they are. Milestone
Healing Aura
(RAD and DEX)
Those around you are blessed by the Healing Aura that you can project. Anyone within ten feet of you will have small wounds slowly healed and larger wounds made smaller. Whenever an ally within 100' of you is injured, you may use Triage to heal 200 health and stop active bleeding. Cost: 50 mana. Milestone
Light Step
(AGI and RAD) Like all the Fae of Alfheimr, you can dance across the morning dew and race upon the snowflakes, leaving no tracks. RAD and AGI give you the perk: Light Step. Rough ground, ice, slippery stone shingles, or a hallway covered in caltrops will not impede your step or slow you down. You are sure-footed in the most extreme conditions. You leave no tracks when you travel. Milestone
Metamagic
(DEX and INT) Fast Casting has been upgraded to Metamagic. Whenever you cast a spell, you may double its area of effect, range, damage, healing, or a number of targets. This comes at the cost of three times the normal mana cost. Milestone
Alert
(AGI and INT) It is nearly impossible to take a child of the Light Fae by surprise. When conflict begins, your high AGI and INT make you Alert, and allow you to react quicker than your foes. Your weapons will appear in your hands, and spells will be ready to cast. You may attack before your opponent if you were not surprised or asleep. If you surprise opponents, you may attack or cast a spell before they realize they are in a fight, and then immediately do so again. Milestone
Skilled Acrobat
(AGI and DEX) High AGI and DEX grant you the perk: Natural Acrobat. Your heritage gives you a supple body and perfect balance. You are skilled at tumbling, walking a tightrope, or swinging from a trapeze. If you have an evasive defense skill, it gains a 30% bonus.
