From: They were born in rural Asseoros, but after they were deemed cursed and abandoned, they were thrown into the Makala and washed up at the northernmost part of the river. They grew up in an estuary village, Nwongo, where blacksmithing is a highly praised skill.
Background: Kasaqa's mother's pregnancy was not a healthy one. She unfortunately died during childbirth, which deemed Kasaqa as a cursed child. They were then thrown into the Makala river to drown so as to not insult Iphi further.
Kasaqa was taken in by an elderly blacksmith, Aleatika, who was aware of their curse but told no one. Kasaqa followed in their adoptive father’s footsteps and grew up to be a talented blacksmith and very accomplished, eventually finding love with their childhood friend from Nwongo, Yumoni. The night after their wedding, Yumoni found the mark of Kasaqa’s curse and fled in terror, leaving Kasaqa with no one to love. The next morning, a crowd came to Aleatika and Kasaqa's homes, burned the whole thing to the ground, killed Aleatika, tortured Kasaqa for a week before they escaped by pretending they drowned in the Makala river. They moved to Zhila where Nwongo couldn't find them. Now, two years later, they had built a prosperous life in solitude and quiet commissions.
Personality: Strong hearted, mature, quiet and vigilant. Oftentimes hard to open up and talk with, but they're very patient and considerate.
