Raziya
A young female general who identifies as one of the strongest cosmic mages of all time. Don’t let her age fool you, the constellations above have given her more knowledge than all the books in Arethil can. Or so she says.
Appearance
Imposing and commanding, Raziya sports a rather lithe yet muscular form that suits her formidable height for human females. She is strong and flexible, and her armor will reflect this, instead of being heavy and thick it’s quite light and malleable, perfect for someone who likes to get into the nitty-gritty.
Hair is long and coiled, often seen in a plethora of braids and pulled out of her face.

Skills and Abilities
SKILLS:
AUTHORITY- can command large scale armies easily, many people listen to her and respect her.
COMBATANT- she moved up the ranks quickly not just because of her magic but because of her devotion to learning to fight as if she had no magic.
READ/WRITE- she can read and write in three languages.
STRATEGIST- always prepared for the worst, someone always able to assume what the enemy would do, and always ready to change plans at the drop of the pin.
TRILINGUAL- common tongue, kaliti, and Narra (which some claim is why she must be from Aina O Ka La as a Nazrani.)
ABILITIES:
MAGIC- most notable is her cosmic magic.
EYES- through her magic, she can make it so she sees what’s going on through her soldier’s. This requires a magic spell and a rune tattooed on whoever grants her permission to see through them. Her max is ten people.
MANA RESTORATION- technically, Raziya can restore her magic through starlight. The sun works and so does the night-time stars, however, this is still a slow process. All this means is that Raziya doesn’t have to wait days or weeks to be at full power again.
THE ZODIAC: (her cosmic abilities)
The Prophet (water)- healing oasis to heal all physical wounds/fatigue.
The Emperor (fire)- falling stars fall from the sky. (They’re really just massive, colorful fireballs)
The Merchant (fire)- eight fire hands appear to do Raziya’s bidding.
The Judge (earth)- massive earthquake, can split the earth apart.
The Teacher (water)- wall of water
The Artist (air)- illusion-based dreamscape due to a sweet scent on the air.
The Enforcer (earth)- eight animal golems appear to do Raziya’s bidding.
The Law Maker (earth)- wall of earth
The Counsellor (fire)- wall of fire
The Scribe (water)- if enough moisture from air or water source is available, she can enhance the water to buff others who drink it.
The Poet (air)- gift of flight/levitation
The Dancer (air)- tornadoes/storms
The Thirty-Six Deacons: Raziya can split up her magic to thirty-six clones. They cannot enact spells but they can fight physically, however, they’re incredibly fragile.
WEAKNESSES:
Cosmic powers, specifically using the zodiac, takes a lot of effort and has a large cooldown timer. Some she can cast easier than others with a much lower cost, such as The Poet, but others, like The Artist or The Enforcer, take much more out of her. Often times, it drains her so much that the Enforcer is often only used in dire circumstances or to create fear in their opponent rather than to be a constant force in a battle.
Raziya does not have elemental magic mastery. While she can invoke a wall of water to appear, a mage who specializes in water can very easily turn this against her and her men. Raziya must always exercise caution because she’s not the omnipotent controller of her magic once it has materialized.
Mana fatigue is a dangerous stare for Raziya to be in. The few times she has been in that state and from what others have witnessed, she becomes translucent and no longer solid— yes, someone had gone to support her and felt her fall through their fingers like she was nothing more than air.
There are a few prices and debts that Raziya must pay. Once a month she must offer grand offerings, whether through blood, pain or wealth. One person claimed to have healed Raziya after she offered one eye, her tongue, both her ears and one hand to the Zodiac. Sometimes its through lovely dances or prayers and ceremonies. Sometimes it’s through precious stones or gold, others it’s animal sacrifice. Once it was her most beloved pet, which actually caused Raziya to cry. There are plenty of other rumors of what she has done. Regardless, it seems she must perform these duties or else she’ll lose her abilities, and possibly her life, forever.
Not well-known, but, if Raziya doesn’t perform these offerings, even if it’s for a reason such as she was imprisoned or physically unable to, the powers that bestowed their power to her wouldn’t care.

Personality
Raziya fits the role of the strong and silent type. Incredibly reserved at all times, she values her privacy and places a lot of value on her words. Therefore, she doesn’t make many jokes nor is she prone to sarcasm. An upfront and honest individual, for better or for worst.
Her stiff demeanor does deteriorate around those who she is comfortable with, like all humans who worry about the opinions others have of them. A warm individual with a spark of timidness.
