Editing Dawn of the Third Age/Minor NPCs (section)

===Unfortunate Si===
Concept: Child burdened with overwhelming secrets and responsibilities, Secrets Caste <br>
''A little girl of perhaps nine years in severe robes of light-devouring black that make her seem even paler than she'd otherwise be. Shackle scars ring her wrists and the faint golden shimmer of orichalcum threads around her eyes shows where powerful magics have returned to her the eyes burned out by Magog's twisted experiments. She carries no visible weapons of any sort, but several pieces of small, intricate Moonsilver jewelry may not be quite as innocuous as they seem. There's a key she carries on a necklace at all times, which seems to be a burden beyond its material weight to a sharp-eyed observer.''<br>
Ess 4, Compassion 3, Conviction 3, Temperance 3, Valor 2 -- Willpower 8<br>
<u>Motivation:</u> To gain the acceptance and respect of her supposed peers despite her young age.<br>
<u>Intimacies:</u> Yu-Shan and Creation (belonging, protectiveness), The gods who raised her (love), The Forbidding Manse of Ivy/the office of Record Keeper (resigned acceptance of duty), her Sidereal mentor (admiration, fear), Alchemicals and other Autochthonian technology (irrational fear), Nomoe Hideaki (gratitude, hero worship) <br>

<u>Social:</u> Perceptive and adept enough at manipulation of assumptions and secrets, but little natural charisma or Charms; brought up by gods in Yu-Shan her demeanor and manners would appear slightly odd to Creation-born<br>
<u>Combat:</u> Knows VBoS fundamentals but prefers stealth, running away, or sorcery (including demons)<br>
<u>Artifacts:</u> A key that opens many doors in the Forbidding Manse of Ivy, Moonsilver jewelry without obvious function<br>
<u>Misc notes:</u> Unfortunate Si was named so for the many and varied misfortunes heaped upon her during her young life, most prominent among them the abduction by the Lion's Abyssals and the abominable experiments of the rogue Alchemical patropolis Magog. She bears the name as she does her destiny, with outward stoicism and even a little pride, but she'd rather be free of both. Of course there is no way out, and even if there was it wouldn't be one she'd be capable of taking, Si understands resignedly. So she struggles to keep up with the demands made of her, working toward the day when she can be equal to them. Considering the powers and responsibilities she bears despite her young age she resents being treated as a child or otherwise as anything less than an equal, but knowing how it would be perceived she hides it.<br>
In Deliberative votes Si most often follows the lead of her Sidereal mentor, but has been known to - very rarely - voice polite dissent as well. In political terms she'd probably be counted as a Hierarchist. She is known to be a personal acquaintance and ally of Nomoe Hideaki following her rescue from Magog.
