Satie Fikra

Satie Fikra is Hillean born to wealthy parents on the island of Seshat el Medin. Both of her parents are professors at the University of Toth and come from very high-status upbringings. Because of this Satie has always had pressure on her to be the ideal child, and was sent to school on the mainland and remained there until she passed all of her traditional studies and could return back to her home on the island as a university student. When Satie was in classes she would daydream and zone out of the world around her and into the metaphysical world. She believed that Deshret was speaking to her in these times and asking her to unite the feuding people on the island. She began to ignore her classwork to pursue this larger picture and study the people of the island, and one night as she was sneaking around she bumped into one of her Astorian classmates from a working-class household named Weayaya. They began discussing the feuding and the solution Satie believed she had; a marketplace in the center of the island. Satie’s idea gained a lot of traction very quickly, so quickly that students in the university began to make fun of her and her fantastical ideas. Because of the disruptive nature of this, Satie, Weayaya, and her sister got kicked out of the university for “perpetuating dangerous ideas”.
Once Satie was kicked out of the university she felt as though she could not return home until she proved herself to her community and her parents. This is when the plans for the Seshat Marketplace came to fruition. What better way to bring the island together than a lively, fun, and helpful marketplace where people could share their talents but also provide easier access to items only found on the mainland? Satie and her friends worked together to bring the idea to the Adairian people of the island and began building small booths and trails so people could find the market more easily. Satie is the true founder of the Seshat Marketplace and now that it is a thriving community she helps out where she can without stepping in the way of expansion and success.
