Norwein Latra

Ahrima, alongside Nadir, were the first ones Norwein ever met at the beginning of this journey; they all knew who had sent them to meet together, and figured it would be best to travel close. As such, both of them were able to learn about her faster than the rest, and - apart from a few select people - they're the only ones she's trusted this much before. Their shared culture adds to their bond, as well.

Norwein and Ahrima often do activities together when there's downtime in their travels, and the three of them often hold onto each other in some way; even in dreams, she reaches out to Ahrima, in an attempt to help him wake up, even if she can't herself. He's become family to her - and she's not going to lose anymore family.

He's like an older brother to her; somehow, his presence can calm her down from a temper burst, and she doesn't know how he does it. Could it be because he's the first person who's offered to help her, without taking away the ways she helps herself? The way he assures her it's alright, even if she broke something again? The way he talks like her older sister?

Norwein doesn't know why she trusts in him so much; there's a seed of worry in her chest that it's only going to end in disaster, but she wants so desperately to be wrong about that for once. He's even taught her how to use different types of magic, and doesn't shy away during a spar - he treats her as an equal, and she's scared of it. She's scared of what she's foreseen.

Norwein does not like Mikael. She does not care if he is the king of the Astral Plane, or that he may be the son of the Raven Queen. The last thing she needed was another adult trying to coddle her for her fate, so gods help her, he better keep his thoughts to himself.

Of course, deep down, she knows he's only like this because of his own fate. None of them can help it; he didn't ask to be one of Divine, much as she didn't ask to be one of Fate. They unfortunately have to work together - and... there might just be some similarities between them, she figures. But it doesn't mean she'll like it.

Sylvie is one of the few people that managed to get past Norwein's mask - both literally and figuratively. The Pey kept showing up in her daily life, even when Norwein was traveling the world, to the point where she wondered what kind of trick Sylvie was trying to pull. After all, why would anybody want to keep running into her, if not for some prank? She should save herself the trouble, and stay out of Norwein's way!

.. But she didn't. And over time, Norwein began to wonder if maybe it wasn't for a prank after all - maybe... maybe she liked hanging around. Norwein even humored the idea that she wanted to be friends. Though, Sylvie did always say that she wanted to be... people shouldn't be lonely, anyhow. Maybe.. Maybe she could use a friend - one that doesn't have to save the world. One that she could save the world for.
