Miss Anari Steamhart (a.k.a. Soul Stone Keeper)
Physical Description
A slim and delicate looking person, who didn´t mind much her physical condition. Always seen with elegant robes and with beautiful hair and make-up arrangements. Her physical abilities had dimished since she was young thanks to the lack of practice but she made up with her aim and strategic and destabilizing moves.
Lithe build with slightly broader thighs and legs, thin shoulders. Milk white skin and white and ginger long hair; soft skin and a classy way of moving and walking. Her bonding mark alongside her hair included a small line of darker dots around her neck which almost resembled pearls.
Finally she had long and delicate fingers and polished nails, slightly pointy ears.
With balanced facial features her beauty remained unquestionable and this was usually complemented by a polite smile. Slightly arched eyebrows and pointy ears, when she smiled her eyes closed lightly. Almost always used shades of make-up that would complement her skin tone and were considered of good taste.
Her bonding mark made her look as if she was born with her own jewelry, thing that usually made other Tamers swoon slightly when complimented with her hairstyle.
She had a liking for twirling a strand of her hair everytime it disrrupted her hairdo. She would also pinch the bridge of her nose whenerver she was stressed or angry, habit she passed down to her daughter.
A natural speaker and charmer she was able to get her way with people, she was also gifted to not only establish but maintain those relationships on good terms. However this sometimes meant that she has to use white lies to get things her way. Anari had a way of speaking that made people want to follow her to end of the world but resent her for her accomplishments most of the time.
She was also skilled at making people comfortable with her and getting information without having to expose herself or her more intimate traits if she wasn´t close to you or simply didn´t want to.
However as soon as things got conforntational or complicated she would avoid it, she could also be slightly manipulative in certain situations, specially if she didn´t know how to deal with them.
Silver jewelry was always included on her choice of clothing for day, even if she was just staying home. However this never included her compromise necklace by any means. Aquamarines and sapphires were always some of her favorite picks for gemstones, with emerald for slighlty less formal situations.
Never too fond of bags the only thing she was used to carry around were some portable soul crystals.
Mental characteristics
Cisgender woman, who went by she/her pronouns.
A cheerful and witty kid Anari profited the high-level education she received; managing to get good marks without having to take too much time to it. She always had a way with numbers and music, still she wasn´t that gifted/interested about plants.
When she was enlisted on boarding school she travelled to Mirage City in order to learn more about the Fallen Witches, cultures and different points of views. There she became friends with Mahina Galax and Claire Laburnum, two roommates with who she attended class with.
When she finished her school years she went back to Rift City and studied with a reknowned mentor who was chosen by her parents and was eager to teach the young promise.
As soon as she finished her apprenticeship Anari took a couple of years to learn how to handle the family bussiness and manage the spells for the Soul Stone correctly. During three years she helped the current Soul Stone Keeper and mentored an apprentice, but as soon as she got married she inherited the tittle and became head of family as well.
After that she was the Soul Stone Keeper for approximately eleven years until her mysterious dissappearance.
- Anari was the most promising student of her year at Mirage City Boarding School.
- Mastered Soul Stone Keeper spells better than her older sister.
- By helping cast the Elder Spell she was able to create a leaf on The Rift
- Her spells were strong enough to break through Rift Hollow
- Was able to carry Sielu´s hairpin without being a Speaker.
- She redirected the power of said jewel into a portable cristal.
- The previous Stone Keeper wanted to sort out their financial problems.
- She regrets some of her actions towards her daughter.
Anari lived a pretty happy childhood, being her parents and family favorite, she was able to get away with almost anything, either thanks to her wit or position. Still this didn´t turn her into a spoilt kid but perhaps slightly manipulative. As soon as she started school she became even more open minded and learnt more about how to treat people.
Unfortunately everything went downhill since she got married to Zackary, the arrange marriage was her late father´s last wish and it was the first thing she had to put up without other solution. Her personality soon collided with her husband´s and while the new head couple tried to maintain appearances they had a lot of inner turmoil.
This had repercutions in various levels, and only got worse when rumors of infidelity started to bloom. One of this consequences being the raising of her daughter and the manipulation she received from both parents.
Cunning and open minded Anari was a bit of a peculiar person. She was able to charm her way to what she wanted but as soon as she arrived there she usually didn´t care to continue with it or even appreciate it. Ambitious and always up for a challenge she was never one to be scared, even if this meant she had to take risky stances from time to time.
With a tendency to step on grey areas or reinterpret things for her convenience she was quick to find solutions, a formidable adversary on strategy battles and quick to forgive but never to forget. Even with her usual conficence and kind but formal presence the Soul Stone Keeper had a keen eye on who to trust and would take a while before she overcame her initial reservations towards someone.
Firm to her principles but never to a stance Anari was always open to new ideas and wouldn´t doubt to accept them as part of hers if reasonable. Even if this made her a bit unstable she always tried to maintain a balance between what she believed and what was thought in the rush of the moment.
She considered duty important, but more so the results than the means take to get to it. As she also thought that many bad things had been done with noble motives. This lead her not to judge people so much for their acting of more for their motivations or ambitions, thing that resulted controversial in her position but also helped her to gain many allies and friends. She also put high value on independece and freedom.
She didn´t seem to have a particular barrier or problem with something in exception for those close-minded or the feeling of her freedom being cut.
Personality Characteristics
The Soul Stone Keeper was always an ambitious person, and while at first it was enough to be better than the average she started aiming for something more as time passed, and was rarely satisfied for more than a few weeks. This lead her to always take new challenges head on and try to help others.
She saw solidarity just as natural and wanted to make a mark on the world, this mean seemed just as good and it was similar to her ideology so she gave it her best. She just needed other to see things as she did and comprehend the world, that way they could shape it and help it become a better place, so everyone could be satisfied.

A free spirit and even freer thinker Anari was used to keep a more organized and charming facade. She was always one for polemic topics and didn´t seem to have any restraints towards discussing those thematics. With a strong regard for her values and an idealist like no other she seemed to harbor some sense of pragmatism.
Used to double personalities she was used to create a version of herself that was liked and listened to by society and then who she considered herself to be. This always helped her cope with stress and made it easier for her to manage politic and status affairs while also being true to herself. Determined, ambitions and strong willed she naver backed down because of fear.
Good listener and with people skills she was a born leader when she needed to, not to mean she wouldn´t use this for her personal motives too.
Sometimes manipulative she knew what her strong points were and was smart enough to pick her battles in regards to her chances of winning more than the cause they represented at some points. A mayor debate about her was always her grade of selfishness since she did value her personal happiness, but even of to outsiders she seemes as an altruistic Tamer, some think that she was only charitative in order to feel the retribution or to satisfy some sort of twisted ambition.
Never truly satisfied she always aimed for something else and nothing was ever enough, except perhaps, for some people around her. She could also be slightly detached and put others in the way of danger if she thought they could deal with it, not having many regards for their feelings if she thought it was for the greater good.
She would pinch the bridge of her nose when stressed.
Always clothed in elegant attire, with make-up and flawless jewelry and hairdo Anari was always very aware of her hygiene and no one can even think of a time when she seemed to be slightly dirty or disarranged, not even her family members.
Social
The Streamharts have access to any social group as one of the most relevant families in Myridiam, they were in contact with other power positioned families and knew the Speakers. They had a lot of contacts on trading routes and merchants in general, they also had good connections in Anam City and now due to Zackary's job they are known in almost all of Roham City.
As far as affiliations go they always worked for the Speaker of Sielu and the Council of Whispers, even if sometimes they had their personal agenda.
Anari has a chaotic relationship with Zackary, with them colliding in almost every decision there was to take; which would usually end on Anari establising her dominance thanks to her bloodline. Already having insecurities, Zackary was specially reactive to these insults and would try to make desicions on her back, which led to even more discussions and even sabotage from one to another.
This worsened as they had to keep appearances with other families and even their own in order not to appear weak. And even if it was never reciprocal the situation was even rawer since Zackary at some point did harbor romantic feeling towards the Stone Keeper. Which made it unbearable when Anari was accused of having an affair.
The relationship between her and her husband had a direct effect on their daughter who suffered the long fights and confrontations alongside the guilttripping and retaliation, specially from her father. And while Anari tried her best to help her she was given to manipulate her. Still her daughter didn´t seem to think her mother would ever harm her.
They liked spending time with each other and Lydia would usually think of her as her only support as she grew up isolated, Anari knew how much a kid depended on her and sometimes she felt overwhelmed. Still she tried with everything in her to raise her as a great person.
She believed in The Fallen Witches, but more as a historically important kind of figures than actually present deities. However she never voiced these beliefs as they might get her family in serious problems.
Impecable ettiquete and even better charisma, who made her see classy and far to reach at the same time that someone you needed to know. She was quite extroverted and always enjoyed a conversation, even if it went from small talk to actual meaningful speeches. She was easily able to adapt her language to who she was speaking to in order to make the person more comfortable around her.
Finally she made almost everyone around her feel safe thanks to her confidence, and what some would call, proud attitude and posture.
Soft spoken and with a glint in her eyes Anari was able to deduce what people found more remarcable about her and exploit it. From batting her eyes if she was to show better her make up to "absentmindedly" moving her hand near her Bonding Mark.
If she gets excited she will bite her lower lip constantly.
Pets:
Blight is a responsible artic fox who had to make up for her owner´s fast pace. She loved her dearly and would always try to avoid or save her any dire situations, however she could also be petty and was known for her cold attitude towards most people. She could usually be seen babying Lydia and taking care of her... sometimes more often than her mother herself. Blight would sometimes try to act as Anari´s concience and scold her.
Hobbies:
Anari loved riddles and would sometimes write them herslef, she also had a great time cooking and singing, however some of her favorite things to do was to spend time with people with mentalities similar to her and spending time with friends. Even if she couldn´t stand to be at home she could be a bit of a workaholic when she set her eyes on a new goal.
A soft voice with strong opinions, it had a good balace but would lean slightly more towards high pitch. However she had a large range from where to pick, as she usually demonstated while singing.
History
Anari was Lydia´s mother and only support figure inside of her house. She idolized her since she was a kid and was completely dependent on her, even if this ended in manipulation several ocassions. Lydia always thought her mother loved her inconditionally and was amazed that she granted her some grade of freedom, as she always seemed so reasonable, composed, confident and smart.
She was all Lydia ever wanted to be, everything she loved. That´s why she was shattered when she never saw her again, she was ledt behind to her father´s care. With the only reminder being a soul crystal left at her bed and a consequence that would haunt her for the rest of her life.
She still dreams of finding her.

Relationship Reasoning
Lydia was totally dependent on Anari thanks to being issolated most of her childhood and considered her a role model in every sense. Then she decided that she didn´t want anything to do with her and tried to become the complete opposite of her, she hates the fact that she still thinks about her quite often.
As for Anari she loved Lydia dearly but was sometimes overwhelmed by the responsibilities it brought to her. And would sometimes feel as if she was failing misserably, specially thanks to her relationship with Zackary and the ocassional manipulation. She also has a hard time with the expectatives the kid had placed onto her.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
While they are things they could have shared later on life, Anari dissappeared when Lydia was really young so they mainly played together, sang, cooked sometimes and read. They also liked to play and brush Blight, some of Lydia´s fondest memories with her mother is when she was brushing her hair and humming before she went to sleep.
