ELEMENT:She had minimal control of fire and ice. Can do cantrips, such as lighting small fires, or freezing water. both take more of her energy than her natural paranormal gift of manipulating matter with her bare hands.

BACKGROUND
HISTORY:Maia was born, hated by both her parents. She was the product of a rape, from Fire father to an Ice mother. Her mother was disciplined enough to not let her be miscarried, but as soon as the pup was born, her mother took her out of the Ice territory, allowing her to live, but dumping her onto a settlement of rogues. Kind enough to take care of her through her beginning years, she was raised by the entire settlement, both loved and feared. Loved for her easiness to be cared for, and feared because of the Fire passion mixed with the Icy discipline that was in her naturally.

As she grew older, she became even more of a loner, learning by herself, practicing for hours and sometimes days to learn how to control her tribal heritage and also her manipulation of matter. As she mastered that she soon added in weaponry, learning throwing weapons and the Shoge, a weapon with a straight blade, a hook coming off of it, connected to a chain. Her natural discipline allowed her to learn quicker than most would on their own, and her passion allowed her to express her anger and hatred in the one form that didn't involve suicide. While training with the dangerous weapon, more than once the young girl returned to her home camp with multiple cuts and bruises. Within her own pain, she let her hatred of the world grow, and yet she would not kill herself.

After she turned 14, she left the settlement to go out on her own. She's wandered, hunting only when she knew she needed it, and having rescued a raven, she named him Xraketor, and he was her company for the most part. For three years she's been on her own, her hatred of herself driving her to many near death situations, and her hatred of both Ice and Fire building up behind it.

Three years of wandering added onto her hatred of the world, and one dark night, she met Sunil, across from her campfire. The passionate man fascinated her with his control over darkness and his own hatred towards everyone, that reminded her so much of herself. When he left the mainland, she followed, serving him faithfully as a spymaster and adviser. As best she could, she snuck back to the mainland, infiltrating the rogues that gathered there still, and meeting now and then with random members from the different tribes and getting news on what was happening between them. On one of these trips, her pet crow Xraketor, got killed while defending her, and on her return to Sunil, the loss of what had been her only "friend" made her fascination with him and the bonds of attachment between her and what could only be called her master, slowly developed towards more complicated feelings that she struggled to understand and not lose control of.

She stands by his side in all his plans.
