The protagonist of Loom of Fate, Norna Weaver is a 15-year old Hollow One orphan with a foreboding destiny and a powerful avatar.
Overview[]
The daughter of an eminent surgeon, Norna grew up with all the luxuries money could buy. Her parents invested in the first early signs of remarkable intelligence and creativity, encouraging their child prodigy. Norna mastered Spanish and Latin by the age of eight, and showed promise in a number of artistic pursuits, though her morbid imagery concerned her instructors.
Despite her family's wealth, Norna lacked a normal upbringing. Her mother treated her more like a possession than a loved one, allowing Norna free expression while confining her with overprotectiveness. Her father showed true affection, but the two spent much of their quality time in the emergency ward and research labs of the U.C. Medical Center. His death left a huge void in her life.
Norna suffers from two inexplicable phenomena: flashes of precognition, which too often come true and hint at a terrible fate that looms before her; and a charmed life despite the frequent accidents that follow her. She has no conscious control over her magickal talents and does not want to consider their implications.
Appearance[]
A 15-year-old girl with black hair drawn back severely from a high forehead. Her eyes are dark and knowing; those who meet her stare invariably feel defiled, as if she knows their innermost feelings and thoughts. Norna tends to dress in bulky skirts, stockings, and soft shoes - all black.
