Personality

Velaa, even for an Ethaefal and a Konti, is extremely reserved. She can almost always be found quietly observing the world around her in any form, watching the pasts of the people she touches flicker before her eyes.
As Velaa has lived for 91 years, she has grown extremely distant to all life, rarely feeling anything for anyone other than intense sadness. She yearns for friendship, for companionship, but does not dare seek it. She has outlived all her friends outside of the Konti and Akalak race and does not desire to see anymore die.
Occasionally, Velaa will demonstrate deeper emotions. If she feels affection for a person she has spoken to, or has found it easier to be around a person, she will begin to open up. She is still incredibly reclusive but less likely to ignore a person of interest.
Due to her standoffish nature, Velaa does suffer a deep streak of loneliness. It is her reason for becoming one of the Forsaken a decade after her rebirth, having been unable to save a friend from fading into the timeless slumber of death.
Even as distant as she is, Velaa will set up her harp outside of a building and begin to play the aching melodies written by herself, entrancing anyone with enough compassion to feel her great sadness.

Past

Velaa fell once into the ocean off the coast of Black Rock and came to shore, collapsing on the beach there. She awoke as a Konti woman in the dawn's early light when she was aware that she'd had an Ethaefal form. Eventually, after a Season in Black Rock, Velaa chose her name from the heavens, selecting the faintest star she could see.
Velaa then began her journey as a Konti Ethaefal, traveling for a year alone until joining a small traveling company of Humans and joining them. For years they moved together, and eventually she came to love one, whom Velaa now only refers to as Deriik.
How Deriik came to die, Velaa rarely illuminates. The secret lies in the waters around Denval, she's always said, and is the reason she remains in that elusive city.
Over the years after Deriik's passing, Velaa began to disconnect and grow cold to the passage of time. She began to drive the pain of watching others die from her heart, convincing herself that it was only nature collecting its boon. Even so, compassion stirs deeply within her at a particularly painful passing of someone she regards as a friend.
Even with the distancing of time and the cool way she holds herself, Velaa has begun to open up. In the past decade she spoke to many people and actually showed interest in their lives, something she'd denied for half a century plus some.
Velaa never learned how to wield a weapon, although she learned, from Deriik, Reimancy and Auristics as well as the coveted ability to Hypnotize. She is dangerous in certain regards.
