Background:
Neile Vass was born in Kenabres to crusader parents - her father was a scout; her mother, cavalry. As an only child, she found company, as any child in a moderately-sized city, among other youths her age - and, in secret, her imaginary friends. While her mother expressed mild concern over the latter, her father wrote it off as harmless imagination, encouraging her, asking questions about these friends.
In a way, perhaps Neile would be different today if he hadn't.
As Neile grew, so too did her friends, voices that whispered in her mind, speaking softly in the shadows. There were those who were kind - one regaled her with tales of battle, warning her that tides can turn. Another offered aid in times of sadness.
And there were those who were cruel. Who whispered of madness, of unknowable things. Of the dissolution of self.
These were the voices that made Neile whimper in the night.
As she grew, she changed. She drew in on herself, trying to shut out the voices in her own mind, unable to lock them away. Her speech became singsong, voicing the things she heard from the forces she contained. She would speak of things she'd never experienced. She dissolved into paranoia, trusting nobody, even trying to draw away from her own parents.
So when a crusader in her mother's unit told Neile that she was a liability, nobody believed the girl's tale. After all, it was more rambling. Her father tried to believe her, but when Niele couldn't even get her own thoughts straight long enough to articulate it, it was a losing battle.
Eventually, being at an impressionable age, Niele packed her things and took to the streets.
It was cold, but she found a discarded coat. It was rough, but she adapted. It was lonely.
But she had her voices, her friends.
Neile has been on the streets now for some time, and it's beginning to take its toll, wearing the girl down. She's lost weight, shrinking down to a skinny shell of a girl. Her face appears pinched, her eyes wide and wild. Her mousy brown hair hangs in her eyes, a floppy hat drooping over her face, all elbows and knees under an armoured coat.
And the voices won't go away.
