Ferem Dejin Aja

Aja, a young woman who appears to be some time in her early twenties, is a relatively unremarkable looking person - out of place in Gem, with her northerner's looks, but unremarkable. This suits her fine, as it helps her avoid questions about the countless demon attacks that seem to follow her. Aja has been touched by Lost Tayala, and demons seeking that third circle soul frequently assault her - although she does not know why she is so plagued.

As for her name, she does not know that she is of Cherak's house Ferem; and Dejin Aja is the name that she has chosen for the moment. She holds no real attachment to it, but it works and is relatively inconspicuous. If she thinks it will be efficient to do so, she will abandon it. She has been changing identities frequently her entire life and doesn't consider her name a lie; it is her current name, but it does not define her. A charm that determines true names may return the syllable "Ai" which she often uses in her names, or may return the fact that she is her brother's sister- something she feels defines her identity far more than her name.

For Aja's backstory, check outTheHoverpope/MeandmyYozi. As soon as I put it up. Contents

Plans

Aja plans on developing Linguistics charms to permit her to drain opponents of their willpower before a fight, or to avoid a fight altogether. She plans to develop further stealth charms, to make her surprise attacks all the more devastating and to allow herself escape. Finally, she wants to improve her social abilities, so that none are willing to stand against her.

All of this is with the larger goal in mind of quietly acquiring allies to place between herself and her pursuers, and eventually acquire her safety.
