Raniya, Five of Diamonds

[Dark]

ID: SD272
Name: Raniya ("Niya")
Suit: Diamonds
Rank: Five
Gender: Female
Animal: Vermin (Mouse)
Region: Torquehelm

Note1: Her binding is a blindfold made of woven gold cloth. Her parents were both freed Torquehelms and her two siblings were born free as well. She was the only one in the litter to require a binding. Her parents bound her with gold and were merciful in her binding to try to make her feel more a part of the family. They have not succeeded.

Note2: Glass Rose Effect: She now has a thin, elegant looking pair of glass spiral ram's horns sprouting from her head. They cannot be broken by normal means and have thin, nearly invisible thorns on the sides like a rose... If these thorns prick any SD other than herself, they will fall into a comatose sleep for up to thirty minutes instantly.

Basic Magical Ability:
She can act charismatic and persuasive at times, whether or not she actually has the natural charm and grace to pull it off.

Moderate Magical Ability:
When activated, she can decipher up to two languages of the player's choosing. These languages are in addition to the common tongue and the Diamond house language.

Moderate Ability:
She is able to sense objects around her by feeling "auras", be they good, bad, temperamental, or excited.
Currently, she can only "see" and "feel" actively aware beings, nothing inanimate or no longer alive.
If she can sense an aura, however, then she can see a ghostly afterimage on her eyelids of what it may have been caused by.
She is wrong 20% of the time.

Personal Blurb: Raniya is resentful of her family, bitter about life in general, and is more than a little bit self-serving; she left Torquehelm and doesn’t plan to return. Once a month she has strange dreams, and she’s afraid that her tenacious hold on reality is slipping.

Items:

Gnarled Sculpture--->Twisted Bracer/Armbands:
These bracers feel like supple leather but look very akin to the sculpture they once were. A tortured looking face can be made out in the right light on each bracer, hidden among the bark-like covering on the bracers. Once placed on, these bracers, though they still feel soft an comfortable to their host, will fuse to the skin and can never be removed, to others they will feel like rough bark with sharp broken branch points all over. The bracers have a fingerless attachment to cover part of her hand, over the knuckles grow thin spike-like protrusions that secrete a small amount of poison. If she were to punch another hard enough to pierce the skin with it, they would begin to hallucinate that the trees they see for the next few days were following them slowly and menacingly. This effect would wear off after 24 hours, but sends most cards into a tizzy of paranoia.

Wearing these has an, unfortunately, adverse effect on the wearer. Once a month, the SD will dream of a tall, thin creature, resembling a Bipedal Cat from the Highlands, he looks emaciated and scholarly with broken glasses hanging from his face. His name is Feair, and he was imprisoned in the sculpture long ago...though he can no longer remember who did it to him. He is a gentle soul and is happy to chat on even ground with his new master in her dreams. Being fused with his new master gives him the ability to remember himself again and while grateful...he wants to live again...more than anything else. He could become violent if repressed...or if his new master seems uninterested in helping him...
