Description: Kámepyu Hezéngida Rrevevenzírriu is a retired professor of trichomancy at the Warg Academy of Magic. She is the wife of Hyalalinto and mother of Yirgalisu. She formerly co-owned the family wig shop with Hyalalinto, but passed it off to Yirgalisu.

Kámepyu is in her 70s, but has aged very well. She is a stocky woman with tannish skin, a round face, and dark brown eyes. Her hair is a light chestnut color with virtually no gray. Its length varies, but is usually around twice the length of her body. When open, Kámepyu’s hair trails behind her like a wedding veil. She often wears it in a colossal braid, almost as wide as her body, to prevent tangling. Her hair is extremely soft and voluminous, to the point where she can use it as a blanket to bundle up any lost travelers who cross her path. Kámepyu lifts weights periodically to stay fit and to help manage the weight of her hair. You can’t usually tell under her heavy robes, but she’s quite muscular. 

Trichomancy techniques: Kámepyu’s style of trichomancy focuses on slow, deliberate constriction of her targets. She uses it primarily to hunt small game, directing her hair towards the target animal slowly enough not to startle them, and wrapping them in large heavy coils. She then pulls the hair tighter and tighter around the animal until their breathing and movement are restricted, and then moves in to snap the neck. Virtually no blood is shed. In an emergency, Kámepyu could use this technique on a human, but she has never done so and likely never will. Her constriction-based techniques can also be used therapeutically, as the softness and weight of her hair has a calming effect. When Yirgalisu was young, he suffered from occasional bouts of insomnia, so Kámepyu would wrap him tightly in her hair and sing to him to help him fall asleep.

Trivia:

• She and Hyalalinto help each other brush and style their hair in the mornings.
• She has the longest full name of all my OCs. It gets butchered in most English-language databases because it has so many acute accents in it (I mean, just look at the URL for this page).
