Story
PAST
born at the very end of a very cold winter to peasant parents, the newborn jaská was immediately handed off to temple authorities, as is custom for heillige. her birth mother was relieved to have been chosen to give her growing baby to tevareh - she'd already had a son, and knew she didn't have the resources for another child. jaská was raised in the temples and keeps of the heillige, the south in the winter and the north in the summer, primarily by talia, the last child of akero. a precocious and preternaturally intelligent child, as expected, she was known to spend far too much time listening to adults talk and absorbing information. the current heillige of sehiril, delmar, was born shortly after her, and they were raised together, constantly sparring, true children of war gods.
after talia's early death when jaská was 17, she threw herself into her formal training, spending months on end within the walls of caer thevá. she was rarely seen by non-military members during this time, and reemerged years later steadied, solemn, and fully matured. she took in the new heillige of akero, signy, then just 5, and has raised her since in loving repayment of all that talia had done for her.
PRESENT
currently, jaská holds her position as leader of the sancti, though it is largely in name. as her other duties have demanded more of her time, more and more of her clerical duties have been passed to her lieutenant. in times of peace, jaská resides at the remiscuan royal estate, whitecliff castle, as a guest of the royal family. the queen greatly values the heillige future sense, and requires a consult on matters both trivial and paramount. no matter that jaská lacks such power - the queen has never asked, and she's brokered a deal with evangeline, the current heillige of avorhelle, to supply her with the details the queen desires without need for a disruption.

Relationships
cecilia
[ girlfriend ]
quite literally destined for each other, and deeply in love. while their relationship is relatively new, jaská and cece have been close friends for nearly a decade.
signy
[ daughter ]
heillige are most often raised by a rotating cast of väktivari clergy and the elder heillige, but jaská's low-combat lifestyle enables her to raise the young signy on her own.
delmar
[ brother ]
counterparts by blood, jaská and delmar were raised together. their relationship has always been tense, underpinned by the blood of their predecessors and fated codependence.
shep
[ best friend ]
a rare case of heillige of similar age being raised separately, jaská and the shepherd became friends after jaská moved onto castle grounds. their partnership is as much convenience as fondness, but it works well.
