Not being the overly ambitious type, Kiko mostly makes her way in the verse hustling pool. Those who know her, call her 'Stick,' not so much for her skill at billiards as her willingness to introduce a head to the end of her cue for coming at her wrong. It's her life. She enjoys it.

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.

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.
