Saya
"...We need to get out of this country as soon as possible. I hate it here."
Saya Diaz, also known as Vyerin Vernador, is a wandering princess of
Verdina, the Kingdom of North Cassel. She was to be the next monarch of the North, until she ran away from home the night her parents were killed. Ever since that day, she has resisted going back to her home country until circumstances forced her to travel through there. She is travelling with friends,
Chryssa,
Raini, and
Myles, but she has been in a dark place over the last six months especially, and her guilt over what she did is driving her deeper into depression. Saya is the undisputed Ruler of North Cassel. She has at least three different ways to prove her power and birthright, but she wants nothing to do with it.
Personality
Saya has always been somewhat of a carefree and careless person. Her uncaring attitude and actions towards many things brought no end of amusement to her father, but also no end of headaches for her mother, who wanted Saya to behave and act like a proper heir to the throne of the North.
After her parents died, Saya's personality changed, depending on who she is at the time. When she is in her Thomas form, she is every bit the carefree person she was when she was younger. When she is in her Vyerin form, she acts very noble and protective of her friends, and there are hints of Vyerin being a competent future ruler of Cassel. But, six months ago, when Saya got to Cassel, she's been stoic and gloomy, and very little has been able to lighten her mood.
Saya sometimes has panic attacks after a nightmare involving her parents or sometimes just randomly. These have occured rarely for years after their deaths, but have increased in frequency over the last few months.
Physical description
Saya is of pretty average height for a Casselian girl and looks rather ordinary. Her faded blue eyes won't be piercing any souls like her older siblings, but there is still an ethereal quality about them. One look at Saya's pale face will tell anyone that she has an unseen contempt for herself, but it does not detract from her natural beauty.
Saya always wears about the same clothing no matter which form she takes. This clothing is somewhat dull and for traveling, which includes a flowy cotton shirt, a leather vest with chainmail sewn on the inside, pants, boots, and a water-proof blue cloak. She also normally wears leather gloves. Very rarely is Saya seen wearing more feminine clothing despite Chryssa's many attempts.
Not only is this article beautiful, but it's about an amazingly in-depth character! I love the self-updating map (like a video game, kinda) and all the pictures depicting the relationships with other characters. I also have a soft spot for shapeshifters. I definitely want to find out more about Saya and her companions.
Thankyou for reading and leaving this comment! Writing more about my major characters is a focus for this year so you will definitely be seeing more of Saya.
