Chimi Vogflá

'''“You not feel magic? Strange.. Poor you!” '''

The origins of the woman calling herself Chimi are a mystery. One can only assume she was abandoned at birth. By her vague telling she was raised by great black dogs whose eyes glow green. Such Black Dogs are often considered death omens and something to avoid but Chimi insists they were guardians, guiding lost travellers and protecting people by scaring them away from dangers. Hermetic thinking concludes the creatures must have been faerie given their influence and the changes brought about in the woman, most noticably the tail typically hidden by her dress.

While her language skills are limited along with her experience of people, Chimi possesses an innate sense of the magical. She instinctively knows if she is in a magic aura, can find regio boundaries without much thought and recognise Vis (even if she doesn't understand its hermetic uses). She can even tell if people are under magical effects and pick out enchanted items from identical mundane replicas. Some might find her habit of occasionally getting down on all fours to move about and curiousity about things others take for granted irritating and unusual (even at a covenant) but her abilities more than make up for that. What surprises people most, once they get past her habits, is how friendly she is. Chimi loves hugs.

Details
One of the strangest individuals at the covenant. Chimi delights in all sorts of things and tries her best to make friends, however awkwardly - Not everyone appreciates her idea of a gift. She'll usually be found around the outskirts, bounding about happily, napping in the sun or climbing trees. She doesn't seem to grasp the idea of work and labour but has learnt to do patrols and watch duty to a degree. When on watch she has developed a tendancy to wander beyond the Aegis in the hopes of seeing Rylon, of course nobody knows the Aegis boundary better than her so she always finds her way back.

Notably Features: Chimi enjoys brushing her hair but does so with her hands so while tidy it certainly isn't neat. She always has a brightly curious look, even when walking the same route or eating the same food for the hundredth time, as if endlessly expecting something new to happen. Beneath her dress her furred tail reaches to around mid-thigh but stays low so it is difficult to spot unless Chimi is especially excited.

Fun fact: Has occasionally been seen apparently conversing with rocks.

Greatest Fear: Brave as she is Chimi's fears are more emotional. She knows everyone else is different and has had strangers chase her away in the past. Her greatest fear would be those she views as friends doing the same and driving her out of Sagehollow.

Story
1190 Chimi first met the residents of Sagehollow while wandering Sherwood. Edric immediately grew curious of her ability to naturally sense Vis and other sources of magic and later her ability to simply see and step through Regio boundaries without effort. This led to her being somewhat adopted by Sagehollow especially after she proved able to detect the magic aura and Aegis, something she didn't mind as she was curious about the idea of mages.

The next season she eagerly agreed to help explore the caves beneath the covenant with her sensitivity to magic proving invaluable due to the ancient spells there. Even where portals were 'locked' she could see beyond to give some idea what to expect. She became very curious about Lady Tessora's religious habits before they found the angelicly guarded Tancred who proved an odd contrast.

Since then she has happily enjoyed her stay at the covenant much to the amusement of many others.

In the summer she accompanied Tessora and Tancred to Summer Bridge. At first it was lots of bad magic and funny talky-talk, meaning she took a nap, but in the night there was lots to see and learn. Like how magic broken swords can save people from death, causing bright lights from all over and how if you do bad things you go for a long walk to a 'holy land'. She is still unsure why Tancred who came from fire is good and horned thing from fire is bad.

In the winter she joined the group trying to protect the King of the Forest. She was immediately willing to befriend the great wolf, Rylon, and helped open discourse there and while her earlier ideas were mostly dismissed they later proved effective with her leading the hunting party into the trap. Afterwards she got bored not understanding why the others acted so differently with the last rider (Prince John) and wandered off to rejoin Rylon and thank him. She also met the King of the Forest more formally in doing so.

1192 Chimi's summer was ostensibly spent on watch around the borders of Sagehollow as is her usual assignment. In truth however she tended to sneak away to explore the various routes and passages through Sherwood forest. She doesn't seem to have been spotted by any travellers though tales of a wild woman in the woods wouldn't concern her at all. In the autumn she was taken along in the search for the stone tree since she had been there when the task was assigned and could be useful in finding it. This proved to be true, though she also proved effective at grappling the caster attempting to befoul the stone tree with dark magic. For the first time in her life Chimi flew, though her focus at the time was on holding on and obtaining at least some trophy from her 'victim'.

1193 Chimi's longest journey from Sherwood let her experience the ocean, ships and the first people to actually celebrate her presence (even though she could barely follow what was said). It also led to her second encounter with the Múspelli (Angrboða) who Chimi subdued and helped kill despite being seriously injured. The battle also cost the lives of two of Chimi's companions, which she learnt of later.
