Nadka
Zrytsa Nadka (a.k.a. Mama Nadka)
Nadka is the priestess, or Zrytsa, of the Tribe of Belko of the Junn Harr. She is an aged blind Human woman that has the ability to see in the spiritual and supernatural world even though she is unable to see in the material world.
Nadka is unsure of just how old she is, but thinks she was born in the "summer of dragons" which was at least 82 years ago by the reckoning of the oldest members of the tribe. To the best of her knowledge, she has always been blind to the material plane but is plainly able to recognize who is with her even without hearing them speak. She has demonstrated a real and verifiable ability to see individual futures and the outcome of some specific events with amazing accuracy.
Nadka's household within the Belkoplemya consists of a 24-year-old woman named Yena Adlinev and a Great Raven named Gromiko, both of whom refer to Nadka simply as "Mama" whenever they address her. Mama is the Junnharic endearment for "mother".
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Long silver-white hair kept in a thick braid, milky white irises in her eyes, and a pronounced stoop to her posture when she walks. Her hands are twisted and knotted with arthritis, but she is still able to draw runic symbols that she has craftsmen carve into small stones and pebbles as prayers and thanksgivings to the gods.
Physical quirks
Nadka has been completely blind for her entire life.
Special abilities
Nadka can "see" in a way that has never been adequately described. She knows when people are near her, and knows who those people are without ever hearing them speak. She is spatially aware of her immediate surroundings to a degree that belies her physical blindness, and she can navigate through her arak without fear of falling into the fire.
Nadka also has the ability to see into some future events. She does not know what prompts the knowledge, but at times of stress or danger, she becomes aware of just how events are going to play out and when. Her predictions have never proven to be wrong in over 70 years.
Social
Reign
She has been the tribal zrytsa since before she flowered into womanhood, or more than 70 years
Family Ties
Nadka has no family living, but has the constant attention and assistance of a young woman named Yena Adlinev who lives in the same arak as Nadka and cooks, cleans and tends to the older woman.
Hobbies & Pets
Nadka has a Great Raven as a constant companion. She calls the raven Gromiko, which means "thunderer" in Junnharic, for his raucous calls and squawks. Gromiko is especially memorable due to his ability to talk. The raven can clearly and effectively speak Junnharic, and some Caldarian, whenever the urge strikes him. He is especially prone to demand rye bread and boiled liver, which Yena tries to keep on hand as often as possible.
