Sinya

Hunter Sinya Erezyeb (a.k.a. Temperance/Curiosity)

To most of the world, Sinya is known as Prudence or Curiosity - a Hunter of Norinar, an assassin bound to the will of Holy Zeshema. Sinya is known for her froglike mask.
Sinya is a friendly and curious young woman, particularly for a Zeshem. While she is afraid of pollution and disease from foreign things and struggles with some things, she is generally more open and less anxious than most of her co-religionists when it comes to the unknown. In a way, knowing about things makes them safe to her; she is well-read, because knowledge gives her mastery over the dangerous unknowns she has been raised to fear. 
Sinya is an infiltrator, an assassin, and an expert poisoner. To a Zeshem, food is the most basic form of hedge magic; it is both healing purification, and the most basic form of curse. So, Sinya dabbles in food and poison as a way to tap into that basic, under-considered magic as a destructive force. She was taught the ways of intrigue and subtle assassination, perfect for an assassin in a tense urban setting. 
Sinya is a friend of Potha Sarana.

Personal history

Sinya's story hasnt fully been uncovered. She was raised in Kozmio -  the elite core of Holy Zeshema, in the palace of the Prophet-Empress as a child of a noble family sent as an elite servant at a young age. She was a curious and sly child, a trickster that climbed on the rooftops and walls and always ended up where she wasn't supposed to be. Eventually, she ended up in a forbidden room: the house-arrest chamber of the Old Empress Pineka II. She was caught returning and visiting the old abdicated Empress. While she was not imprisoned or killed for treason (given that she was only 12 and politically inconvenient to kill), it was agreed that the family would send her to the Hunters of Norinar once she was 13. If she wanted to sneak, let her sneak against the Empire's enemies. 
Like Parsem, Sinya underwent horrific abuse and training as a young initiate. She was alienated from herself, drowned and revived and made to see herself as a ghost in her own body. She was beaten and pushed and a violent impulse was fostered in her young heart. She made friends with Parsem during these years, but was separated when they finally became apprentices. She was assigned to Certainty and renamed Prudence, and her new master was a cold, bureaucratic man determined to teach Sinya to become an infiltrator - but first, she needed self-control, patience, and emotional restraint. 
Eventually, she was assigned to join Parsem in studying the Apocalypse with Potha Sarana.
