Meet Eloi
Eloi Malikama is a sweet, friendly girl who was orphaned at a young age. Among the Swavarians, orphans are usually taken in by relatives, but some are recruited by the Warrior-Spirit schools. Eloi had a teachable talent – she had already been taught basic healing and understood on a basic level the special connection between the medicines in the world around her and the intricacies of the human body. This made her a desirable asset for a training school. She was recruited into Ja’hline.
Eloi doesn’t remember her parents or birth village. Her memories start in Ja’hline.
She is discovered to have another talent; The Second Sight. This is an inborn talent, few possess it, but when discovered it can be a powerful tool. Often Eloi sees things about the people around her and sometimes can interpret what these viewings mean. Eloi’s viewings warn her there is death about a new student – and she quickly perceives him as someone to stay away from. His strange manner clashes with the culture of Ja’hline. But soon she sees his faith and realizes he is not as she perceived; rather he is attempting to conform as best as he knows how. Eloi becomes his friend. But the death-about-all-around-him viewing stays. She now pretends it doesn’t exist.
Eloi is strong-willed and usually practical. She is fiercely loyal to her friends. She is trained Klnu’mori, but despises the secrecy of it. Her tendency to follow emotion rather than reason is balanced by another friend’s analytical logic. Ryn, trained Klnu’mori as well, constantly reminds her of the one vow she made. She cannot break her secrecy until one specific question is asked. She hates this charge because she was told it would cause pain.
Eloi loves passionately. Her friends are her sisters and brothers. She protects without consideration for herself. She gives without thought. Although she is a Warrior-Spirit, she does not see how her small ability can help her friends in their quest; all of them have greater powers than she. What she cannot see is that her brilliant love is the tool that can pull one heart from the danger she has always seen.
Sometimes we cannot see how powerful we truly are.
