"When the ash fell I was relieved.... that I was not mad for all these years, that what I had seen was coming to pass"
Vanay grew up in Ash plains west of Amman, a troubled child of a failed seer who would sell her fake prophecies for food and water. When her mother finally vanished for good on one of her missions to make the grand con her relatives took her in, but were made anxious by her strange fits and visions. Thinking it the influence of her mother, they sent her to a convent to be raised in the faith of the Privii. They tried to forge her as was their vision, but her fits only grew more intense - in the end they abandoned her to the same streets she was born in.
After the ash fell she wandered, her mind clear for the first time since her birth. From port to port she peddled her visions, and in time a man approached her - a kind man, who said he had heard of her power. She went with him, eagerly at first, but later by force - delivered to the fledgling Nova Carrylean Empire and imprisoned in the ruins of the S'llaari Capital, forced through bizarre experiments and made to record the words that came through her fits and visions.
She escaped thanks to an unknown man, who brought her to a boat that sent her to Hampsterdam. Unfortunately she was captured soon after.

While traveling with her she made several comments about her visions, most of them seemed meaningless, she explained :
"It's like they aren't in focus - fading in and out, I just can't see them clearly."
On Parting, she seemed more confident, heatlhy, and vibrant then when you first found her. She thanked you for helping :
"I know we will see eachother again. Sometimes, when I look at you together - I see a thousand reflections, we're there, the four of us, and a fifth, sometimes, in some of them with you, in others, not, but - when absent, when you three are alone, you look... wasted, worn, eyes... red..."
