| Description: | It isn't age alone that has given Ymyasorva her washed-out appearance. Even before her long hair went white, it was a thin, pale gold that went down to her ankles when loose-- which was, and still is, rarely, as she prefers winding it into complex styles which, somehow, don't end up taking all day to put in. Even before her skin took on its pattern of fine wrinkles and papery texture, it was still a very pale gray, and her eyes have always been a light blue like ice. Age certainly hasn't changed her posture or poise: she's still as stiffly straight and tall as she's always been. She has a stately air to her, heightened by the elegant clothing she chooses, always including long, form-fitting gloves and usually including sparse but well-placed jewelry, particularly on her tall, upswept ears. |
| Personality: | Ymyasorva has a definite aura of the
prickly and imposing ancient about her: she can intimidate better than
the most drill sergeants, and because she is ancient,
she's more likely to get meek compliance than resentment or anger-- and
gods help the one who patronizes her or thinks she is decrepit or senile
because of her age! The weight of her years has given her wisdom and pride, and she will let no one keep her from
doing something she feels needs doing: her will has been strengthened,
not weakened, by time, and her convictions have always been strong.
Ever since she has left the semi-isolation of her post as a Seer and joined a Search team, Ymyasorva has found that she prefers leadership to subordination, and she seems to fit well into leadership, as well. It helps that her fellow Searchers and guardians are both much younger than she is and both new to their position, and find it hard to take a stand against her powerful presence, but neither of them are particularly leader-like, either, so she fills the role well. It may make things difficult when a situation turns dangerous, and Ymyasorva stubbornly has no intention of backing down even for her own safety, but since such a situation hasn't happened yet, there is no telling what her guardians might have to end up doing to protect her. |
| History: | Seers in Ymyasorva's clan become
sequestered, isolated individuals once they have given birth to their
only child and put him or her into the care of the father. After that,
their only contact with others is for the cyclical blooding ceremonies--
and even then it is only contact with other Seers-- and when they see
something important enough and personal enough that it needs to be told
to someone in particular, by the Seer herself, which is rare.
Ymyasorva's life was no different from any other Seer, and now, after
almost eighty years of a Seer's isolation, she is tired of it. After her
amount of service, however, it isn't uncommon for a Seer to return to
the rest of the world, put their gifts behind them, and spend their last
few decades with their family or finding a hobby or touring the
continent.
What is uncommon, however, is for a Seer to suddenly decide to take up another occupation entirely. Ymyasorva managed to take up Searching largely through sheer force of will and determination; not many know why she made that particular choice, but she really does have a love of travel which her cloistered years kept at bay. Now that she is free, she intends to make the best of it-- and help others, in the meantime, for though Seers are technically supposed to be helpful and provide crucial information, rarely has she ever seen the effects of that information. Through Searching, at least, she might see how her own actions have benefited another. |
| Abilities: | Predictably, Ymyasorva's abilities are divinatory. She is a Seer, both through time and through space, and an accurate judge of what is important versus not important, what needs altering, and what needs to be encouraged in what she sees. She is also a good judge of character, from a lifetime of watching and learning, and a powerful empath with a few telepathic abilities. She has been trained in diplomacy, but has next to no experience with the training. Though she is in good physical shape for an elderly woman, even of her own species, she is definitely not a fighter of any kind, and does not even have the proper magic to defend herself; the most she could do would be, perhaps, charm an attacker, or maybe put one to sleep. |
