Background: Shaiya is a special kind of being, with a very special power. Having been around since the dawn of man, she was blessed, and cursed, with being the oracle. It's a great and ultimate power to be burdened with. One that only she can carry. However, she only stays the oracle so long as she keeps the balance; keeps neutral. If she sways, then she'll lose her powers and become human.
This meant keeping away from people as much as possible or at least, keeping from making any too close a bond with anyone. She kept to this rule with the utmost dedication. Year after year, after year, she kept to being the vessel for ultimate power, and just watched the ages fly by. But when she met a man by the name of Vernon Cressle, things began to change. She did her best to keep to the rule, to keep to being, essentially, heartless when it came to others, but as the two became lovers, the harder it was for her to control her heart. She could feel herself being swayed by love for him. But she knew that, if she became human, he'd no longer have interest in her. After all, the only thing about her he found alluring was her power. She knew this. And she knew he wanted to use her power for his own gain. This didn't really seem to bother her. It was nothing she hadn't experienced before. But love...love was entirely new to her, and it was something she couldn't risk. So, without a word, she left, and she hasn't come before him since.
But Vernon wasn't the only original she knew. She also knew Ryuko. Though the two never shared intimacy, they did have something that could almost be described as a friendship; or rather, a mutual understanding. There was a time where she would go to visit the castle. However, she hasn't since Vernon began to live there.
Shaiya is a very calm soul, who is very very rarely rattled. Always collected and cool, she needs to be, lest her emotions get the best of her. Shaiya's only company, is a round, intricate floating mirror, roughly a little larger than a dinner plate, that follows her and even protects her from harm by reflecting attacks and even shooting beams. Shaiya can use this mirror to extract specific visions if she needs to. She's capable of lending her powers to others if it's for small things only. But she can't get away with too many. You can tell when she's starting to sway and her powers begin to fade, because the mirror will begin to look dull and tarnished, and sag, almost as if it's sad. It's a reflection of her powers, and seems to almost be alive.
