_-_-_-__-_-_-_Some of a Seer's Mind
Zestyrr'une is mild, at least in comparison to other females of her status. It's as difficult to make her happy as it is to upset her. Zestyrr'une freezes in unexpected encounters, seemingly taking a moment to catch up. She exists in a limbo, being seen as curiously both weak and blessed.
Zestyrr has a great sense of multiple possibilities and continuous alternatives, making her oddly accepting but also prone to inaction. She enjoys the challenge and practice of seeing visions, even though the weight of what she is doing is heavy. For Zestyrr, the confidence which a female drow would normally feel is gone under the pressure of the knowledge she deals with. She desires little competition. In a preoccupied way, Zestyrr thinks she is outside and above the daily doings of her House and of other drow.
She speaks from her instinct and from an unreliable telepathic sense, and sometimes is maddeningly evasive in her meaning. Zestyrr'une be telepathically correct in answering the unspoken question but her mind could be responding to information the other person has not yet realized either. In trying to self-correct some of this confusion, Zestyrr can become too literal and blunt.
_-_-_-__-_-_-_Some of a Seer's History
Zestyrr'une almost found herself kicked out of her House and Guallidurth altogether several times. The high rank of her House saved her. The cause of her erratic behavior and seemingly terrible judgement was eventually figured out. Her own power was nearly driving her mad until a fellow seer was able to intervene and teach the young drow. She was never satisfied with what she had learned. Zestyrr'une has traveled to many cities in the Underdark to study with different seers. Zestyrr'une wants power, but not for personal reasons nor advancement, but out of desire to explore and push the limits of what it is possible to know. As she continues now to test these limits, some of the unpredictable problems of her youth are recurring. Her worst moments bring a temporary loss of identity.
The desire to learn and explore what is possible gives her a kindred spirit of sorts in her sister, Ethe. Other than this interest, Ethe has a very different personality and is intimidating to Zestyrr'une. Ethe's interest in developing her ability isn't as pure as Zestyrr'une's, Ethe is very aware that her power can mean advancement and control over others.
After her seer ability fully developed, her life became much more.. crowded. The Matron Mother ordered priestesses of her House to concern themselves with protecting 'her' seer. As much as Zestyrr desires to be alone, she also realizes that the vigilance of her priestess guardians has saved her several times.

_-_-_-__-_-_-_Visions in dust
Zestyrr'une breaths across the opening of her bottle of enchanted dust, causing the dust to rise and cloud the air. She stares into the dust, her visions forming only for her to see. Zestyrr'une has tried other methods but favors having the dust to manipulate and focus on. In practice, the dust gives her work an almost physical feel. It allows her to feel a greater separation between her mind and the vision.
Sometimes she can form a brief image that even someone else can see.
_-_-_-__-_-_-_Possessions
[^]Many many bottles, vial and pouches for her enchanted dusts.
[^]A large pale stone, always hanging from her neck: given to her by another seer. It's full purpose is currently unknown to her.

Journal Entry One
I have filled volumes with writing. And this is yet another.
I don't know why it helps me, but it does. Putting ink on a page is.. like meditating for me. My mother thinks it is a little strange. She saw my towering stack of journals once.. But she doesn't ask questions, she knows I simply have my ways.
I have received (and opened!) a letter. Another job offer. I know I am going to take it. It should be useful for me to get out on a different type of job. This one concerns a baby! Normally drow like me to fumble for the future of their house in a more abstract way. Maybe it isn't that different afterall.
If I could do anything I wanted to, I think I would travel again. It's been too long since I've talked to more seers. It's not that there are none in the city. There are plenty but I need new voices. I can't travel for a while most likely. Matron has that look about her. My last trip was too eventful. I wasn't lost for very long though! I certainly came back in one piece but Mother matron does not believe there is such a thing as 'no harm no foul.'
I have a new experiment I will be trying soon.
