Cassia


	Cassia Mistress Starlight Keturah Archila (Chief Healer) Queen Jadea's Personal Therapist Cassia comes from a small village that has small village values, traditions, and customs. Other than the invasion of a wounded army when she was nine, life was terribly uneventful. Being that it was the only life she knew, she felt her only contribution to village life was to marry and bear children. With her brownish-blonde hair, gray eyes, and medium build, she had her choice among the village men. Her sister married and became with child. At around that time, Cassia was betrothed to Galen, a friend of her brother-in-law Doron. Again, normal village life. Then her sister died in childbirth, bearing a girl-child. Another fact of life. Then said girl-child was exposed. Cassia decided then that it was probably a good time to rebel. The night after finding Naiya (the girl-child) exposed, she snuck away, taking whatever she could carry of value. After days of bargains and taking rides with strangers, she ended up at a village on the border of the Themiscyran forest ,where she met up with Autolycus, the self-professed (deservedly) King of Thieves. Having had a brush with death (and a healthy respect for the Amazons) he pointed Cassia in the direction of Themiscyra itself. Since her arrival, she has begun her training in both battle and healing (more in the latter by experience). And all with taking care of her niece. Cassia is 5'5", with gray eyes and brownish-blonde (russet) hair. She's strong, but doesn't bulge with muscles. She's is admired for her inner strength more than for her outer. Does anyone have any willow bark? Cassia's totem is the cougar. She uses the Bo staff, a long thin staff of wood. She can speak Greek and a little Roman. Tae'Nah athelfi arche: 18 May 2001
