Selena, was her name.
At the age of 16, she had a dream. The first of many True Ones.
It told her to leave everything behind. Her family, her friends, her home, her name, and even, her sight.
It told her to wander blindfolded, to listen to its voice, to let it guide her and carry her around the world.
And in return for her faith, for her sacrifice, she would receive the one, true great gift.
Of course, she thought it to be nonsense.
Merely a dream that had bubbled up out of her creative mind.
But the night that five days had passed, the Dream came to her again.
Again she heard the voice that told her to leave everything behind, and follow it blindfolded.
And when she wake up that morning, she could not just pass the Dream as merely being a dream.
So she got scared. She took short naps during the daytime and worked hard at night, so she didn't fell asleep and the Dream would stay away.
But when 5 days of short naps and 4 nights of hard working had passed, she fell asleep upon the kitchen table, exhausted, and the Dream came to her again.
Again she felt herself being dragged into the Black Void and again the same message rang out into her mind.
When she woke up she felt oddly revived and calm, though she could only have been sleeping for five hours. She packed a bag with most necessary things and said a silent goodbye to her father, mother, and the three little sisters.
She left.
Walking near the edge of the woods, her eyes fell on a white scarf, that was tangled in the branches of a big, mighty oak. The Voice in her head told her to take scarf, and veil her eyes with it.
The first five days of wandering were full of doubt and fear. Anything could happen.
But on the sixth morning of her blinding, when she had not even faltered once, she realised she was safe. And she started to trust the Voice.
From then on, she wandered around the world, taking the steps the Voice wanted her to take. She wrapped herself in the quiet of nature, and the Voice told her about the ways of the world.
After five years of wandering, and listening to her Voice, she came upon a great White Mountain.
And the Voice said "Climb this Mountain."
But when she was taking her first steps upon the Mountain, she felt lost, for the Voice had left her to do this dangerous task alone.
She stumbled many times, and every time she stumbled, her hands moved up to take away the white scarf and throw it at her feet. She had never felt more helpless.
But her trust in the Voice had become too great, and she kept on climbing, step after step, stumble after stumble, until on the morning of the sixth day, she reached the top of the mountain.
There she waited for five days of light and five nights of darkness. And when the sun rose on the sixth morning, The Falcon came to her and said "I will grant you the True Sight and be your eyes in this world while you search for True Wisdom to come."
And ever since, she has been known by all as "The White Seeress".
The Falcon never left her side.

This is the history of how my RPC came into existence. Please bear in mind that English is not my mother tongue. When you find spelling or grammar mistakes, or would put certain sentences in other words, please let me know, so I can do something about it.
I did my upper best, though ^_^
Any comments or constructive criticism are welcome.
Further development of character will follow, when I find some spare time =P
