Name: Kiya

Age: 15 (m12/d06)

Position: Herald Trainee - 1st year

Gifts: Strong Mindspeech, low average Thoughtsensing

Appearance: Strong, aquiline features. A sharp nose, and jutting out, proud chin. A short, lean well-muscled body, almost skinny, accustomed to hard work. Dirty blonde hair, with an uneven, jagged cut. Hard, grey eyes which are much like an eagles in that when your caught in there sights, you can‘t look away. She looks older than she actually is, most people place her at about 16-17 ish, despite her lack of height. At this age, she couldn’t be described as beautiful, and she does seem uncomfortable in her own skin, but she promises to be pretty when grown up.

Personality: A quiet, shy child. She is shy almost to the point of timid-ness, and dislikes being inside due to huge problems with claustrophobia. During her first few weeks at the Collegium she slept outside in a tree. She has a huge fascination with learning, set back by the fact that she is unable to read. She is hugely practical, and makes many things herself by hand, from most things that most people would consider rubbish or useless. She is a reasonably accomplished artist, whose drawings, on any scrap of paper she could find, are quite often dark and depressed, which belies the sunny disposition she shows to her closest friends. When she is in a good mood, everyone around her is in a good mood, not because of empathy, she just influences people. She can speak Hardoren, Valdemaran, and a scattering of some Tayledras and northern clan dialects. She is very quick to blame herself, and frequently underestimates herself. However, when someone insults her friend, she can prove to have a very volatile temper. She has also proven to have a very dry sense of humour, although she does take part in the odd prank with her year mates.

Short Life Story: Her father was a tradesman, and an alcoholic. Her mother died while giving birth to her, and her father never forgave her, nor she herself, because of this, he would beat her when drunk. She always excepted this as her just punishment. She had one older brother, who also suffered from they’re father’s ‘ministrations’ and he eventually ran away when she was 7 and he 16, she never heard from him again. A few days after her 10th birthday, they moved to Valdemar, where she was chosen by Raina.

Companion: Raina, mare, 12 years old.

Description: A warrior-like build. Strong, proud, and extremely active. She has enough of a sense of humour to match the timidity of her Chosen, they have an incredibly strong bond, and spend most nights sleeping outside together, with Mari wrapped around Kiya. She has a very maternal and protective nature, but a wicked sense of humour, she frequently urges Kiya in her pranks, and loves stealing the roses from the palace gardens.

Family: Mother: Deceased. Father - Trader who has disowned Kiya.
Brother - Rikko, disappeared
