Other characters

Naive acolyte of the Path of Light who decides to step out of the temple to do good and noble works elsewhere.

After disagreeing with the concept that the Way of Light was best spread through quiet contemplation, she convinces some of her friends to ditch the monastery and head east to help with the crisis after the Day of Mourning. Having worked on a ship to get to Khorvaire, she is decently used to sailing and knows a bit on how to sail.

Appearance

Mentality

Education

Her childhood consisted of a combination of familial tutorage of the basics and the rest from the clerics. She learned mostly the details of the Way of the Light, the history of her people and of Sarlona, various languages and some fragments about other subjects.

Employment

Freelancing Cleric is probably the best description of her current employment. Her previous employment was Cleric and Sailing Hand.

Failures & Embarrassments

She has a string of goofs that are pretty minor and only she probably remembers like accidentally kicking over an incense censer during a service or having a haircut go terribly, terribly wrong.

Mental Trauma

She lost her father when she was young due to an incurable illness. Whilst it inspired her to concentrate on healing magic, she is a little on edge around diseases and illnesses, often taking an overly precautious approach to cleanliness and avoiding causes of illness such as poorly cooked food.

Intellectual Characteristics

She is very curious and loves to learn almost anything. A buffet intellectual, if you will, picking up scraps of random information and understanding over various disparate topics but usually at a fairly superficial level.

Morality & Philosophy

She is a huge believer in the innate goodness that centers in everyone, that given enough time to grow that even the most evil mind can have the good revealed. She is wholly naive and could be manipulated into pouring effort and attention into improving or assisting someone who professes to want to change despite not wanting to.

person.sexuality

She does not get attracted to specific genders but gets attracted to kindness, to selflessness, to creatives and inspirational figures. She has never had a relationship but likes the idea of it.

Known Languages

Is a bit of a polyglot and fascinated by linguistics.

Currently Knows:


  • Celestial

  • Common

  • Daelkyr

  • Dwarven

  • Elven

  • Giant

  • Orc

  • Quori

Personality

Motivation

She is motivated by three main issues:
 


  • Mental and Spiritual Preparation against the Dreaming Dark

  • Spreading the Light and doing this through charitable works

  • Avoiding and curing diseases

Savvies & Ineptitudes

She is good at sailing, reading and meditation. She is not so good at following orders if she believes those are out of line of her beliefs, cooking (tends to overcook everything) and understanding humour

Likes & Dislikes

She likes finding out new information, the smell of the spring flowers that bloom after the cold winters, berries of all types, the early hours before others are awake and old books.


She does not like rain, mushroom stew, being disturbed from her meditation, digging or lack of sleep.

Virtues & Personality perks

She is incredibly compassionate and willing to go the extra mile to do good. She is hard working, relatively cheerful and generous. She has a real "what's mine is yours" attitude to people around her.

Vices & Personality flaws

Her main flaw is her naivety. She hasn't experienced much of the world outside the monastery and the memories from her quori connections. Theoretically, she is working against all evils of the world but if she doesn't fully understand what that looks like, then it can be hard for her to see the red flags for a dangerous situation.


As a kalashtar, she is in an internal battle between the thoughtful and measured quori side and the emotionally loud, unpredicatable human side. It is something she has not mastered so she can switch between being emotional to being distant which can hamper social relationships between non-kalashtar who understand the same internal dissonance.

Personality Quirks

She can seem to take some time to respond to things as she thinks things through and will often forget that other people cannot hear her telepathically.

Hygiene

Outstanding.

Social

Birthplace

Adar - The Dyalya Monastery

Current Residence

Shadow Marshes

Wealth & Financial state

Clerics in far off monasteries is not a well paid position.

Family Ties

Father - Marlatash
Mother - Rastshana
Linked Quori - Shana

Religious Views

She was brought up in the Way of Light and is devout to this, if a little eager to spread the light in a world that might not want it.

Social Aptitude

Despite having a sunny and friendly disposition, she doesn't necessarily pick up on social cues that well and can sometimes seem distant.

Mannerisms

She can be quiet, preferring to observe before joining in. She can get lost in thought easily. She often mimics washing her hands when lost in thought.

Hobbies & Pets

Hobbies include cross-stitching, bad poetry and yoga.

Speech

She tries to keep her voice measured as she has been taught but struggles with this.

Night In Sharn

by Kalshana

The murmur of people clutters
as lanterns splutter in the wind.
Music leaks at the edge of hearing
as people dance and drink away.
 
The night appears still -
busy underneath, when senses
search for the movement
the muffled noises.
 
Illusions advertising stores -
long since closed for the day -
bright as the moon
which we cannot see below.
 
The towers climb ever higher,
the stairs feeling steeper
to aching muscles and bones.
So far from home, so far from sleep.
 
A scuffle stumbles out of a bar close
by - reasons unknown -
quickly dissolved by
alcohol and bouncers.
 
Up the stairs, clambouring up,
gasping for breath,
awaiting to be silouetted
by the kind moons.
