Appearance: Sushana a tall and extremely slender woman, looking like a dandelion stem capped with a golden flower. Her golden blond hair is stubbornly curly, refusing to be tamed neatly in braids, and her blue eyes are large in a cheerful face. She tends to dress seemingly for comfort, with a touch of elegance in finer fabrics and moderate jewelry. The only weapon she bears openly is an eating knife.
Personality: Sushana has a disposition as sunny as her hair, bright, open, and very friendly. She is quick to assess people, quick to forgive an unintentional slight, and quick with a smile or kind word. In her role against the quori, she sees the Dreaming Dark as a blot upon the soul of the world, a wound of darkness that she seems to take as a personal slight above and beyond those of many of her kind.
Background: All kalashtar have fragments of visions of their quori spirits, but a few have visions of such exceptional intensity that it can cause great changes within a soul. Sushana’s ancestor was of the hashalaq quori, those that feed on brighter emotions than most others of the kalashtar. Her visions were those of the curious courtship rituals and dances, community memory-sharing, and other things less-seen. It drove her to be one of the most social of the kalashtar, in an attempt to capture the pure and powerful emotions of her visions.
In her training to be a shadow watcher, Sushana learned the darker side of those emotions, learning to misdirect, lie, cheat, and finally pierce the heart with a blade born of sorrow. This was… eye-opening to say the least. Yet the necessity of it was clear as soon as she came to the City of Towers with other young kalashtar.
Life here was just as odd as anything she had seen in her visions, with things both bright and beautiful, and darkly evil existing side-by-side. Sushana, along with others, did what they could to be friendly with their neighbors near their conclave. Not only did they make it much harder for the Dreaming Dark to suborn anyone close to them, but they tried to counteract the poisonous propaganda of hate against them.
The reason they had come to Sharn was not only to speak with words, but to destroy the Dark where they could. One such mission ended up with Sushana and four others living in a small elven conclave for almost a month. A minor yet beloved priest of some import had recently arrived from Valenar, yet did not recognize several old friends in the city. In a roundabout fashion, Sushana and her friends were recruited to aid the elves, for the scent of the Dreaming Dark was thick about the priest. Disguised as elves, they watched him closely, spoke with his friends, and did all manner of careful mental probing. The quori within him was an exceptionally sneaky one, and it took them the better part of a month to catch him in a vulnerable position and release both him and his victim.
Sushana learned a great deal from the elves during this time, learning things about patience she hadn’t even dreamed. This mission of quiet stalking and endless rounds of observance grounded the young kalashtar, giving her the mental stillness she had lacked for much of her life. It was not too long after this that the quori-hunters, the atavists, came to open her mind to entirely new possibilities…[/sblock]
