Sheba Sootstained is a Corax Stargazer.
Overview[]
This young and curious Stargazer is a Corax - a wereraven. She has spent of her young life near New York City and is somewhat more cynical and flippant than most Stargazers. But she sought us out from some inner prompting, a deep need for answers to her place in the Gaiaverse. Antonine Teardrop received dreams in which she came to him as the Venerable Lama Heart-Fire, a famed Stargazer master who had passed away on Tibet years ago. He believed that Sheba was his reincarnation, although a most unlikely form for such a sage. He took her to a caern in New Mexico and they gave her the tests. She passed them all, and was thus admitted to the tribe and recognized as Lama Heart-Fire reborn.
She is somewhat surprised by all this and thinks it is a trick to make her think that she is important. While she has come to accept it, she has as yet no conscious memories of her so-called previous life, and thus she ignores the whole thing for the most part. What she really wants to learn are the martial arts disciplines and meditational tricks. She especially wishes to experience her inner light, and is enamored of the idea. She sees her path with the Stargazers as a light quest for a shard of the sun within herself.
She goes from caern to caern begging the sages that to let her read the sacred sutras and records, but is more often than not turned away until she has earned more renown and learned more from experience first. This does little to deter her thirst for knowledge.
