Name:
Shadowmist Layosa

Age:
13/14

Physical description:
5'8, eyes that have the disconcerting tendency to change color, thin, long black hair and skin coloration that suggests Tayledras or Shin'a'in ancestry

Personality/Attitude:
Wary of strangers, particularly men between the ages of 30-40. Wry sense of humor shown only to those few she trusts, fiercely loyal, intelligent, and stubborn as any goat.

Brief History:
She does not know who her parents were, where they came from, or where they went. She was found on the doorstep on an inn at a very young age. They took her in and used her for cheap (bordering on slave) labor, not even bothering to name the child. This she tolerated with silently until she became pubescent and they began using her for something else entirely. Then she left the inn, carrying only the clothes on her back and a small knife. Her gift on mindspeech awakened gradually and very uncomfortably. Soon she could not shelter in the temples and poorhouses without picking up bits of information she could not make sense of and served only to frighten her. To preserve her sanity, she fled to the streets, living and sleeping places where even the most desperate did not usually frequent. She learned quickly the art of thievery and silence, giving herself a name to match her talents. Her last name, she simply picked something she thought rolled off the tongue. She occasionally forgets her own last name, mixing up Loyosa and Layosa often.

Goals in life:
She wishes only to give the gift of justice to others who find themselves helpless victims such as she had been. She will do anything to be a herald and make that possible.

Gifts:
Mindspeech (Very stong), foresight (very weak)

Position:
Heraldic
