ORIGIN: mika grew up on the streets of the rakine confederacy, surviving through a combination of unsavory but generous friends, reflex, and wit until she was captured by a zealot recruiter of a black academy. experimented on and tested for her potential as a curse-eater, she achieved apprentice-level dispelling abilities in order to withstand the procedures, but managed to escape before any more progress could be forced on her.
PROFESSION: she fled into vissio, but found herself flinching at the over-saturation of noise, crowd, and color. stealing all she could carry, she skirted the border between the red desert and the golden waste, crossing briefly into lom before making her way into the crumbling ruins of ancalia. he powers blossomed in the solitude of the ancient, abandoned cities, and each passing day saw her able to climb higher and slip ever more quietly from place to place in search of hidden treasure.
RELATIONSHIP: she loathes and fears the raktian wizard who captured her, and it would take much convincing, if not outright force, to compel her to ever return to her homeland.
