Sutta Lonte of Capria

A historic and famous author commonly acknowledged as the inventor of "wisher" fiction, a genre of self-indulgent, passionate, and whimsical story often featuring legends, romance, and/or intelligent/speaking crystalites.
Born roughly 250 years ago, Sutta Lonte was born and raised in Capria near the town of Monciglioli, which itself is part of the primary trade network that stretches east to west across the archipelago. Sutta was reportedly a friendly and inquisitive youth, interested in crystalites and culture and stories from a very young age. Sutta's interest in performing arts was encouraged by everyone entertained by such enthusism, and they joined the local theatre troup as soon as they could.
Despite not living too far in the past, and despite having a well-documented life, certain facts about Sutta's life are unknown to modern audiences. For example, Sutta's biological sex is uncertain--they have been described as a masculine woman, an effeminate man, an intersex person, a transgender person, an agender or non-binary person... Whatever the state of their physical sex, their public gender presentation was often considered to be "yes, and" - a bit of everything, all mixed together. Sutta referred to themself with he/him pronouns, she/her pronouns, they/them pronouns, and it/its pronouns at various times in their life, often interchangably in the same document or interview.
Sutta's theatrical youth swiftly turned to an adulthood of playwrighting, which spun into tale-spinning and novel-writing. They dabbled in almost every type of spoken and written word art, including solo theatrical oration-performance of their own works. By all accounts, their charisma and passion was captivating no matter the subject... but since the subject was so often warmly indulgent, whimsical, wish fulfillment fantasies, it was easy to engage and enrapture audiences in a shared daydream.
Sutta's legacy is continued with spoken and written works well-known across the archipelago and performed/published in multiple languages.
