Physical Description

She stands at about 5 foot 1, and weighs 91 pounds. Her eyes are a light, light color, usually having a milky touch to them. Her eyes change colors, various colors, form blues, greens and grays to browns and hazels. That has always been a mystery to her and others around her.

Personality and History
Yoka is a very calm and peaceful girl. She’s very loyal and knows how to keep secrets. She seems to sometimes be flawless, but there are two major flaws. Flaw number one: she can be a little to quiet. She keeps comments to herself unless she knows they need to be said. And flaw number two and the biggest: She is blind. Yes, she knows a blind prophetess is very unusual, she’s probably one of a kind, but she manages. Her hearing and smell is very intense, and somehow, she knows when someone’s around her. When out in public and walking around, she usually keeps to herself and goes somewhere peaceful and rather open. She may be a rather graceful and be good at not running into things for a blind person, but she isn’t perfect.
Her favorite time of day is dawn or dusk, when the sun isn’t up and burning her skin, along with the kingdom bustling about, and it isn’t dark and mysterious. Another reason she doesn’t like night is because it’s when he visions start. Her visions affect her mentally and physically. She sees visions through people’s points of views, whether good or bad. She mostly has visions of despair and death, tragedy and horror. While seeing through the person’s view, she feels and thinks as the person. For example: if she were a person about to be executed and hung, she’d feel the choking and gasping for air. After the vision, she’s a bit disoriented usually, and with bad ones she’s almost helpless for a little bit. She hates her visions.
She had her first visions when she was four years old, before she went blind. She was laying in her bed in the small little 2 bedroom house she lived in with her parents, going to sleep. She began feeling dizzy, and she saw the room fade into a field. The field was on fire in a lightning storm, and she felt the rain smack against her face, the trembles sent through her during the thunder, and wind gushing around her. She was a male, about thirty or so, running through a field toward a bunch of houses. His cattle with huddled together under a clump of trees. Lighting flashed ahead of him, and he began running the other way at the sight of a small fire. The fire instantly erupted into a huge fire, swallowing the field. It surged toward him, and he began burning, screaming, running on fire.
While she was having the vision, she was screaming for her life, feeling the fire on her skin, which was actually turning pink and peeling, and tears poured from her once beautiful crystal clear eyes. Her parents watched, horrified, trying to wake her. In about ten minutes, the room returned and she lay there, hyperventilating and crying, and her vision was gone. About three days after, in the middle of the night during a huge storm, news came that Mr. Haruto had perished in a brush fire. Realizing that she had a gift, they sent her to Avaren to try and train it, and to get help after the terrifying experience that left burns on her.
Kai never liked that idea. She was blind, vulnerable, and sent to live in a city away from her parents, alone. She soon got over it once she began living in a small cottage with a distant relative- her great aunt or something of that sort. She was an elder of a church, who believed that the gift of prophecy was to be praised and used for good instead of shunned. The visions began to leave Kai less helpless after it, but the intensity of it never changed. She lived there and still lives there with her. Now, she is trying to enroll in the Magic Academy, hoping someone-anyone- can stop or help control the nightmares coming true.
Misc
Favorite sound:
Trees rustling gently and the breeze around her.
Favorite feeling: A soft sunlight on her while sitting in the soft grass of a filed by a lake near the city walls.
Other: She is a great dancer despite her blindness, and has few friends. She sometimes can see the faint outline of objects, and she hopes that maybe she is becoming un-blind. She misses her family terribly, and she hasn’t received a letter since she was 7. Sometimes she wonders why they have forgotten about her and why she isn’t good enough, or even why God cursed her by taking away her vision and giving her visions of horrifying futures. She has a little accent, sounding like a mix of British and German, but it is hidden in her words.
