Appearance
Vaeltia stands at about sixty one inches (5’1”) high, she has bright blue eyes that manage to show her emotions quite plainly when she isn’t actively concealing them. She has short dirty-blond hair that she either brushes up into slight spikes or off to the side. She has slightly tanned skin that boasts various light scars on her hands, what looks like a scar from a raptor on her left shoulder, and one long ‘s’ shaped scar across her back.
Biography
Emily Gideon was the product of a drunken one night stand during her parent’s college days. And became a form of foundling when her mother decided to take the veil, leaving the her on her father’s doorstep.
Other than having a single father taking care of her she grew up normal. She would dive into libraries and their fantasy and science fiction sections to use it as an escape from school-yard tormentors. Although more than once she turned back on the bullies with a heavy hand.
When she was sixteen a fairly traumatic meeting in an alleyway drove her to the nearest catholic church, and into the arms of a nun. This nun happened to be her mother. Nearly three years later, after the wonderful time spent with counselors and extra defense classes she found herself in the same alley way, albeit more prepared.
A week later, during a point where her grasp on her own mind and shame was getting close to a point of overwhelming her she found herself in a burning roadside chapel.
Awakening
Emily’s awakening was more than just an infusion and merging of supernal energies and human soul. It was a test of trust, of instincts and of overcoming fears. She ran at first from the flames but then towards them, facing her own fear. When she found safety in the tower, she added her own candle to the wall. A symbol of friendly heat and light -- fire under control.
Nimbus
The air around her crackles with energy generating both light and heat and her voice seems to echo with the voices of many.
Learning Control
When Emily was pulled from the flames of the chapel she was approached by West who offered her some guidance in her first steps. She had her doubts but those were soon removed by the topics that they had begun to discuss. Unfortunately his instructing was cut short as she was headed towards college.
Chicago
Vaeltia's reason for going to chicago was her acceptance into SAIC, although while she was in the city she was found by Mages and brought before the Consillium for acknowledgment. In addition to her classes she also worked with the Sunhawks and was initiated into the Adamantine Arrow.
The Sunhawks
While in Chicago she was fostered in an Arrow and Guardian Sentinel Cabal called the Sunhawks.
The Sunhawks were headed by a female Thyrsus Arrow named Song. Song filled the temporary place as Vaeltia's mentor while she was serving with the Sunhawks, as well as being one of the instructors in her initiation into the Arrows.
Sacramento
Vaeltia returned to Sacramento as soon as she could get out of the situation that the Consillium of Chicago had put her in. Being home once again she began to seek out other members of the Awakened community while selling her art on the side through one of the local galleries.
Apprenticeship
Vaeltia's formal apprenticeship to West was announced in Consillium VI in the midst of a Faerie Glade in Panama.
Protect and Serve
While still being under West's tutealage Vaeltia began her trek and training in the Police Academy.
