Julia
As she collapses into the snow, tears streak from the corners of Julia's face, and she begins to shudder uncontrollably. Her mouth moves, but the words are faint.
An ordered mind hedges out madness.
Julia sits up as she begins the mantra Master Andreas taught her. Her blond bun, somewhat disheveled from an unexpected tumble in the snow, reveals soft caring green eyes and a young face. She wipes the tears and melted snowflakes from her face with the sleeve of her work jacket. With a deep breath, she wrestles her shivering under control. Deft hands quickly unfurl and retwist her hair into a tidy bun.
A sanctified spirit guards against the dark.
Her clothes are made from a sturdy lightweight fabric that wears well in a crisp morning breeze or a warm laboratory. Her arms are clad in beautiful scaled arm pieces, each a unique mosaic of of steel leaves. A small shield shaped like an angel's wing extends up Julia's left arm.
A holy life avoids temptation.
The human woman rises, and dusts the snow off of her backside. She looks intently at each of you, and then your surroundings, like a one woman spiral search. She is tall for a human woman, but not abnormally so, and thin but not frail.
And, sacred magic will bring light to all.
Her quiet mantra completed, she addresses the rest of you in a strong clear voice, like a professor lecturing class on the first day. I am Julia, a Sacred Epistemologist. Like you, this is not the journey I was preparing for, but I trust that by all that is good, it is one I am prepared for.
