Personal history

Fira No'Var's parents, Orina Var (she/her) and Zarah No (they/them) are as in love with eachother as they are with discovery and knowledge. Orina is the shorter of the two and has a tendency to appear more serious and have more gravitas while Zarah is generally more effusive and quick to smile and joke… or to prod her wife into smiling and laughing with her.

They both share a few central principles that they passed on to their daughter:
doors are meant to be opened,
all knowledge is worth having,
discoveries should be shared for the benefit of all,
understanding and using the Numenera is the key to ensuring the bright future of the ninth world,
understanding requires one to embrace risk and the unknown.
 



It is extremely rare to see one without the other close by. They left the relative stability of the Steadfast together to seek out the mysteries held in the beyond. It’s unclear exactly how long they’ve travelled together and while they will spend hours over small details of numenera or something they find interesting they seem to be relatively unconcerned about tracking the passage of time. But it’s clear it’s been a very long time, when speaking with one another it can be hard for others to follow as they have developed a shared personal shorthand. During their travels they founded the research clave of Quina where they remained for just over 20 years and where they gave birth too and raised their daughter Fira.



They both believe strongly that while pursuit of knowledge and understanding is of paramount importance, it is nothing if it is not passed on and so they are always willing to teach those willing to learn. They are able and patient teachers with a great deal of experience between the two, who believe firmly the best way to teach is through experience. Their students must be willing to take on the risks inherent in discovery of the Numenera. Upon meeting them, it’s easy to see where Fira gets her approach to life. In terms of personality and bearing she takes more after Zarah, tending to the effusive and bubbly, though she takes more after Orina in physical appearance and her body language when actually serious or thinking deeply is all Orina. The three of them were a very close knit unit and all peas in a pod.

Education

Trained as an Aeon Priest proper within the Steadfast, she left her respected position and the known to seek new horizons in the Beyond with her partner Zarah No and never looked back.



Unlike Zarah, Orina is a numenera generalist. She particularly enjoys working with the unknown and the more she doesn’t understand about something the more likely she is to become single-minded in investigating it. She also enjoys tinkering with things and creating or repairing pieces.
