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.

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

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.

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.
