However on meeting she seems rather cold, as a dead soul conduit her aura is unaturally chilly and touching her feels oddly simular to touching a corpse. Yet it is not only this that makes people feel uncomfortably frosty about her, it takes Sara a long time to warm up to people and she often hides behind a mask of curtsies and good intentions. She often says what people want her to say, instead of what she actually means. After being bullied relentlessly as a child she has little to no confidence, it has always been easier for her to find the virtues in others then in herself. She has grown up idolizing strong women -like Yue and Van- and even though she is not as clingy as she used to be, the admiration (and slight jelousy) is still there.
What others do not see is how secretive she actually is. If she knows someone close to her will not approve of something she had done she simply will not talk about it. Despite her desire to help others she is unusually self-serving and often acts on what will benefit herself and her motives. She is also very stubborn, if she has made her mind up about something or someone then there is no changing it. Everyone has one chance in her book and after it is blown there is very little chance of someone worming their way back into her heart, even as a Priestess she is holding grudges and resentment that sparked in her days as a student. She often sneaks out of her estate to meet her Noble friends and tends to ignore warnings given to her by her protectors and guardians. More so, if she does not want to accept something she simply wont. When you think about it most of her closest companions are murderers and hired swords but she simply refuses to see them in such a way.
Lastly, if nothing else she is Quirky, though some would rather user the term batshit. She often talks to enterties others can not see, even if she is half way though a conversation with a living person she will start rambling onto shadows and butterflies. Also like any good Shaman she often takes drugs that are said to help her meditate and reach enlightenment. Throw in her habit of talking in riddles and her unique way of thinking and you are left with the ramblings of a mad woman.

ALLIANCE REASON : Sarangerel was not born in Lunaria, instead she spent most of her childhood as a member of a small nomadic group of people who lived up in the mountains. The group was one of mixed religions and as such everyone seemed to have a different opinion on the young girls abilities. She spent most of her time alone, her seemingly insane ramblings and strange ghostly eyes scared the other children aswell as some of the adults. Her parents became very protective of her and tried their best to shield her from what the other members of the tribe were whispering. When the strange symptoms and crazy behaviour continued into her teenage years they finally decided to take her to see a healer in Lunaria, which was the closest settlement to their mountain home. It did not take long for the temples residence to work out Sara was infact a conduit and offered to take her in and teach her how to use her abilities. Her parents agreed and with a heavy heart left her under the care of the priests, this was the last she was ever to see of them. The temple which teacher her was that of the Legion alliance and this reason alone was why Sara supported the Emperor, afterall she was raised to respect what the elders told her. Even though now she supports herself she has made too many contacts to change sides and is generally viewed as a Legionary. In truth the girl wants to stay as far away from the war as possible, it has caused her nothing but trouble from day one.
POLITICAL VIEWS : Someone once told her that it was not alliance that made someone a bad person and bad people could be found on both sides aswell as good. Sara does not know much about politics's but she knows about morals and will help anyone who asks it of her. She tries to judge everyone fairly but it is needless to say that she does feel safer amongst those of her own alliance - afterall, you never know who is ready to stab you in the back.
CONDUIT : A prayer rod known as ---.
PRIESTESS : The rod has been melted down and remade to form a staff known as ---.
TENRYUJIN : At this stage Sara is able to focus her magic without the use of a medium.
ABILITIES : Instead of channeling inner ki, Soul Magic instead draws energy from the spirit world of Lunaria to provide magical effects. This allows them to commune with souls of the recently deceased, to exorcise evil spirits, and in certain cases, look into the souls of other living Lunarians. They can even use this magic to enhance the souls of others, allowing them to recover from fatigue and injury at a faster rate. Users of Soul Magic can also call upon and employ familiar spirits to aid and protect them if needed. Dead soul conduits tend to befriend spirits that would otherwise turn evil or vengeful. They do not trap them or enslave them. These spirits have different levels of difficulties to tame which is why the training is so intense. One may become possessed if dealing with an extremely strong spirit and too little willpower. A spirit may have a connection with an object or a soul conduit may use an item to focus their energy into. Dead soul' conduits may act as mediums for restless spirits and may even choose to extend their powers to help troublesome spirits pass on. 'Dead soul' conduits may access memories of a spirit's past life and/or adopt their strengths and powers momentarily. Priests may attract souls which reform into butterflies and follow, acting as 'familiars' or 'power sources'. Dead Soul conduits and/or priests often give off a 'cold' atmosphere depending on how powerful they are.
MAGIC : To come.

The wounded healer is archetype for a shamanizing journey. This process is important to the young shaman. S/he undergoes a type of sickness that pushes her or him to the brink of death. This happens for two reasons: The shaman crosses over to the under world. This happens so the shaman can venture to its depths to bring back vital information for the sick, and the tribe. The shaman must become sick to understand sickness. When the shaman overcomes her or his own sickness s/he will hold the cure to heal all that suffer. This is the uncanny mark of the wounded healer.
Shamans act as "mediators" in their culture. The shaman communicates with the spirits on behalf of the community, including the spirits of the deceased. The shaman communicates with both living and dead to alleviate unrest, unsettled issues, and to deliver gifts to the spirits. Shamans assist in soul retrieval. In shamanism it is believed that part of the human soul is free to leave the body. Shamans change their state of consciousness allowing their free soul to travel and retrieve ancient wisdom and lost power. Because a portion of the soul is free to leave the body it will do so when dreaming, or it will leave the body to protect itself from potentially damaging situations be they emotional or physical. In situations of trauma the soul piece may not return to the body on its own, and a shaman must intervene and return the soul essence.
The nomads of the vast expanse of the Mongolian steppes shared a vision of the universe and the world of human experience that was characterized by religious concepts, rituals and magical practices that came to be known as shamanism from the word "shaman." The shaman was a kind of a priest or medium who acted as a conduit between the human world and the realm of the gods, demons, and spirits of ancestors. A person didn’t choose the profession of shaman but was selected for the job by a messenger from the spirit world. The arrival of this representative was usually announced by the chosen person’s falling seriously ill or suffering hallucinations. A shaman, called in to cure the sick person, would pronounce the patient possessed by a spirit, indicating that he or she had been chosen to be a shaman. The chosen person was initiated by an older shaman of the same tribe into the lore of magic formulas and the songs and dances, which the shaman used to combat the supernatural sources of evil. During the initiation rite, the newly chosen shaman was given a staff. Its finial was often carved in the shape of a horse’s head, its lower end in the shape of the hoof. When the new shaman had practiced rituals for a few years, the staff was replaced with a drum. Other paraphernalia of the shaman were successively added to his arsenal.
Any sort of misfortune that came a Mongol’s way, from hunger and sickness to natural disasters, was seen as devilish mischief caused by malicious demons. Timely offerings, virtuous conduct, and strict observance of taboos would usually be enough to ensure the benevolent attitude of the ancestral spirits. However, on occasion, peace and harmony were disturbed by evil spirits. This was the moment when a shaman’s assistance was required. The shaman did not face the forces of evil by himself. He was assisted by an army of auxiliary spirits that protected the shaman and helped him to avoid the traps set by adversaries from the spirit world. It was the number and might of these helpful spirits that ultimately determined the magic and healing powers of the shaman. In a trance induced by alcohol and the smoking of herbs, the shaman undertook his voyage to the dark realm of the demons to subdue the spirit that was the source of the problem. The shaman could also bring back to earth the spirit of someone thought to have died.
The shaman was protected against supernatural negative forces by the magical properties of the tools of his trade. His headgear was often decorated with the antlers of deer, which gave the shaman speed and versatility. A headdress decorated with eagle feathers gave the shaman strength, while owl feathers endowed him with the power to see at night. To the shaman’s upper garments, metal objects symbolizing armor such as arrow heads, bells, and mirrors were attached. Feathers, symbolizing wings, were also attached to the sleeves of his dress. The shaman’s staff crowned with a horses head or his drum, the handle of which was also carved in the shape of a horse’s head, symbolized his mode of transportation.
