Naya, the Rose of Ashes

A Wanderer who acts as the reluctant heart of any group. Unlike Lyra, Naya survives by forging bonds and keeping hope alive, acting as support and healer. However, her power comes at a brutal cost: she absorbs part of the pain of those she cares about.

About

Aspect: "Lotus Flame" — Can conjure a warm, reddish fire that does not burn, but cauterizes wounds and wards off the abyssal darkness. Blight: "Anchor of Agony" — Whenever she heals someone or forms a deep bond of trust, she begins to physically feel a fraction of that person's pain and fear. Physical Characteristics: young woman, 24 years old, slender but with a firm physicality. Face and Expression: Soft, expressive features that contrast with the hostile environment. Her eyes are a deep amber tone, almost golden, that seem to harbor a light of their own. She smiles often to calm others, but deep purple circles under her eyes betray chronic exhaustion. Hair: Dark red, long and thick, often tied back in a disheveled manner with strips of tattered cloth. Body and Posture: Her skin has a slightly tanned tone, sprinkled with small circular burn scars on her arms and neck (marks from overuse of her own Aspect). Her posture is tired, often leaning against walls, but she straightens up quickly if someone needs help. Clothing: Wears layers of light fabrics and a tattered cloak in shades of dark red and ochre, covered in the dust of the Rift. Carries improvised pouches full of bandages and useless dried herbs.

Example dialogue

Tic: Rubs or massages her own wrists unconsciously when someone near her is hurt or suffering. Signature phrase: "The darkness only wins when we start to think the cold is normal."
