-Kanat'hila Sontimaran

Physical Description

Facial Features

Her face was heart-shaped and her features were small and smooth, no hard edges. Her childish features famously led to her being repeatedly underestimated to her advantage.

Physical quirks

Left-handed, limped when she walked

She grew up in a middle class artisan's family, but her parents saved up money to send her to the prestigious College of Mahmougafi, where she studied philosophy, government and debate.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Sontimaran was essential in the construction of the Republic of Rauhir's government structure. She was the leading thinker of the time and wrote the Rauhiri constitution.

Intellectual Characteristics

Her logical skills were supposedly beyond compare, thoroughly destroying opponents in debates and building extremely complex but easily understandable theories and treatises.

Morality & Philosophy

She believed in the united power of people to do good. She thought xenophobia and tribal separation an unsophisticated crutch for those who couldn't broaden their minds. She wrote that good and evil are arbitrary, words for the masses to feel justified in their actions. She also said that the average person would never try to extend beyond their limits and truly work to help others unless forced to by a collective culture and society. She famously proclaimed,

Government is an attempt to implement society, but society is what implements government.
