First Name: Saranja
Surname: (of) Pelasgia
Nickname: Seer, Hooves
Gender: Female
Species: Satyr (Descendant of Ophion/Pelasgus)
Personality: Saranja is a descendant of the original Pelasgians, the people born from Ophion when Eurynome ripped out his teeth and cast - from his teeth sprang Pelasgus, the first man. He carried the power of creation, and taught man crafts and art. Thousands of years down the line, with blood being passed through the ages, the blood of the Pelasgians finds itself in a young satyr girl. Similar to Ophioneus before her, she was born with the power to see into the future, as well as the innate ability to 'glamour' and hide her more
identifying features.
Unfortunately, with such a useful (yet often elusive ability), as she aged, she found her eyes became worse and worse at seeing in the present, until eventually she woke one day to find herself blind, her eyes working fine when viewing what she wished to see in the future, but never showing her what she wanted, and never allowing her to see the now. Because of this, she finds herself often fixing herself on the future, and caring less about what might happen in front of her, her Achilles heel, as it were. She can come off dire, and serious when her visions slight her, though more often than that she is kind, if apathetic. She enjoys the company of people, though can often decide on if she likes them or not by
viewing them in the future, to different amounts of success and failure...
Hobbies: Pelasgus originally gave man the tools to farm, the tools for agriculture. As such, Saranja enjoys gardening. She likes the feel of dirt on hooves and the knowing, if not the actual view of flowers blooming. She takes great pride in it, and 'cheats' by viewing things that are very often difficult to change, such as the weather or the seasons, knowing what to plant when.
She also enjoys poetry and the arts, particularly Oscar Wilde, Emily Dickinson and anyone in the romantic era, like Coleridge. She also has a soft spot for music, Classical in particular, she loves Chopin and Rachmaninoff, and can get curmudgeon quickly when her listening time is interrupted.
Abilities: + Clairvoyance: While Saranja can see into the future, what she in fact is viewing, is one
possible future. Like a pool of water that shifts into several different streams, she only follows one path at a time. It differs, and the acts of people (and herself, when she chooses), change the future she sees. This makes her sight very unpredictable and at times, unreliable.
+ Strength: Satyrs are strong and durable creatures, and she is no exception. She is able to carry large weights with ease, walk long distances without issue and, should she wish to, strike with force. She is unlikely to do the latter, as a pacifist.
- Blindness: A blind-seer, she lacks vision and while she can often make up for it and cheat with her clairvoyance, it isn't the same as real sight, and leaves her slow to act and move until she's sure.
Extra: While the Pelasgians were also known for being brave and expert warriors as written by Homer in the Iliad, Saranja has yet to truly try her hand at combat, a difficult task when you can't see your opponent in front of you, though she might just yet surprise people.
