I know all which has conspired-- an ally I present at last.

 

 

Name: Terebinth
Guardian: Habithi Balechild
From: The Twisted Fate, Biotheurge 01
Sponsiring At: The Twisted Fate, Biotheurge 02
Species: Demonic Unicorn / Dragon Hybrid
Age: Hatchling
Sex: Female
Height: 2'2" at the shoulder (28'4" full grown)

Parents: The Demon of Knowledge, father; Feruth, mother
Residence: Star City Dragonry
Rune Branding: Glass charm (hatchling, unused); Glass charm (adult)
Personality: Even if it was her destiny to bow her heads to Habithi, Terebinth certainly seems to enjoy herself as his servant-- or, as she knows she will eventually be, his companion, for who could be a better equal for a demi-god but an omniscient? Though she can be quiet and demure, and has no trouble at all being polite, Terebinth is still arrogant in her power and presence, even smug. She has seen herself so, and thus has no guilt about feeling better than others: after all, she knows every flaw of every individual who has ever lived. She is generally logical, patient, and fairly disciplined-- otherwise she would never have Habithi's respect. She is a lover of organization, and though not any more intelligent than the average mind, her endless knowledge makes her appear so. 

Though she is not physically violent, and in fact loathes to actually fight and will never raise a claw to even defend herself, Terebinth's mentality is worthy of the heritage of an Arx Atra Mons Beast. Again, because she knows this about herself, she accepts it with grace and revels in it without guilt. She delights in subtle malice and spite and enjoys taking an hour or so each day to sit in silence, contemplating the infinite cruelties that are only a small part of her omniscience, cataloguing them and relishing each tidbit of sensation involved. She knows she will make the time for these meditations because... she knows it. They are a part of her known future as much as her connection to Habithi is. She knows herself to be a fitting ally for the Balespawn, and has no qualms about letting others know this, as well, even if it requires a silly rhyme to do so.

Abilities: Knowledge Gift: Terebinth possesses the knowledge of everything: past, present, future; people, places, objects, actions, thoughts, or emotions. Life is a pandemonium of knowledge to her, though she does enjoy the act of organizing small pieces of it at a time, in her own mind. It can distract her at times, following various trains of thought, so she tends to wander a bit, mentally. She can speak of what she knows to those who do not have the same knowledge, but only in riddle and rhyme, like the oracles of myth and lore. 

Psionics: Terebinth can speak telepathically and teleport. 

Shape-shifting: Terebinth can shape-shift info a bipedal form that appears entirely human-- albeit a bit emaciated with long, straight, black hair that looks like it ought to be too heavy for her-- except for her bright red eyes. 

Untouchable Mind: Psionic abilities cannot affect Terebinth, nor can her mind be read in any way by any level of psychic power. A bond with her is almost entirely one way, for the bondee would not be able to sense her thoughts, emotions, or even presence, though they could sense the bond itself. 

Verbal Speech: Terebinth can speak aloud, from either head, though she tends to use both in unison.
