Jaala :: Exile[edit]
"Between what is and what is not, the gods whisper."[edit]
Jaala Katayev[edit]
Born to Russian immigrants in early 1920s New York, Jaala developed a knack for 'disappearing' as a child - a knack that followed her into her adult years. But the places she disappeared to were not of this world and did not move with the time of this world.
Now, nearly 100 years later, her family long passed into memory while she remains a very young woman as folk reckon such things, Jaala feels more like a tourist in the world that gave her birth. Making her way as a 'retriever' of artifacts, she lives on the edge of the magical community, honing her skills and growing her legacy.
Reputation is everything to Jaala, an island of permanence in an ever changing sea.
