Through the early years of Sarantyr's human life, much of her time was spent consuming legal material. Nicoli kept legal materials that were accessible to Sarantyr in their home and it became a source of shared time together. She was impressively able to recall laws and court recordings, which helped Nicoli to fortify against losing potential court rulings for the technologies that he created. Nicoli spared no monetary or social expense for Sarantyr's upbringing, but did not seek to influence her future. Her unwavering persistence to join the legal field and aspiration to become specifically a judge were of her own choosing. Since the framework had already been laid for her, Sarantyr quickly transitioned into her role as a judge after becoming an adult. In this profession, she found herself drawn to difficult cases which required a higher level of discernment and analysis. Although she felt content in her work, she struggled with survivor's guilt. She questioned what made her deserving of the life she experienced now as a result of her adoption and how things might have unfolded if that event never took place.
At age sixteen, Sarantyr's home life changed quite drastically when Nicoli courted and then married Aurora Potenza, who was sired and beloved by Emilia Potenza (powerful and influential individual in Terra's society). Sarantyr quickly learned that Aurora's pleasantness was merely a false display in Nicoli's company, which dissolved in private. Sarantyr found herself on the receiving end of Aurora's hostility and cruelty for years, but endured in silence. She feared that Aurora's threats of social and professional ruin would not only affect her, but extend to Nicoli as well.
The deepest secret that Sarantyr holds is who attacked her at the age twenty one and caused the scar which remains on her neck. During a heated moment in an altercation, Aurora slashed Sarantyr's throat with her claws and left on the ground. Moments before Sarantyr's death, Nicoli arrived home earlier than expected. Panicked and without any other source of help, he chose to turn Sarantyr, asking for forgiveness before doing so. Although Sarantyr had often mentioned to him her desire to be turned, he still felt like she deserved a far better moment than this for it to occur. After learning of Sarantyr's survival, Aurora quickly and publicly proclaimed that the vicious assailant who got away was likely someone who was personally angry over a ruling made against them or someone close to them. Sarantyr's fear of Aurora grew stronger and did not refute Aurora's telling of the events which occurred that night. After announcing her sabbatical and plans to travel outside the realm of Terra, it was the only time that Aurora had ever shown Sarantyr any measure of kindness without others being present. Sarantyr recognized that Aurora was glad to finally be rid of her. Although Sarantyr played along with Aurora's belief that she would not return, Sarantyr had an entirely different plan in the works.
Sarantyr is on this quest to obtain arcane knowledge that she can bring back to Cyprus. This is her way of proving to herself that she is worthy of the life afforded her. It is her desire to win the affection and adoration of Nicoli whom she loves deeply. With her knowledge of the arcane and his tech expertise, she hopes to assist him in introducing the next leap in technological advancements. Saratyr estimates that this will make it undeniably clear that she is a better partner for Nicoli in this unlife, rather than his current spouse Aurora, who she holds in low regard. By surpassing the renown of Emilia and Aurora Potenza, Sarantyr believes that any attempts by them to ruin both her and Nicoli would present more challenging. Although Sarantyr does not yet know if it is possible, her deepest wish is to either procure or create an artifact or spell which could display the unquestionable truth of Aurora's attack.
I'm from a place known as Cyprus within the realm Terra. I am eager to learn more about magic and how it has shaped the other realms in comparison to mine, which has long developed an array of technologies in its place. I am a naturally curious individual and believe that there is something to be learned from every experience. My first time leaving Terra was 6 months ago when I first visited The Hub. I am a bit impulsive and didn't exactly think about going on this new journey too long without deciding to go for it. I wasn't exactly prepared and only packed a week's worth of clothing, a few items, and had no idea about the cost of living. The things I needed had always been supplied by my father, but I suppose this is a chance to prove my ability to be responsible. For a short while, you could say that I was a bit of a social nomad within The Hub. Although I considered finding permanent residence, it appears fate would have me travel once again. I've already been in some rooms with rather successful individuals and have some promising opportunities to potentially earn coin. I know that making the right connections will undoubtedly fast track compiling arcane spells that I can bring home to Cyprus. Although my profession in Terra was a judge, I have enjoyed devoting time to my new direction in life. I think some would agree that magic study could prove more beneficial to the collective and shaping our society. I'm currently on a sabbatical and if I do not make a discovery worthy of my father's approval within a reasonable time frame, then I am expected to return home and to my work within the legal system. Although it was my initial thought that forming friends or associates could slow me down, I now believe that having these bonds could be valuable in achieving my goal. To my surprise, I missed being in the company of Okhtus Aurelius and Miwa Nise. There was something settling about being a part of a group which utilized our individual talents to such magnitude. In my time away from the group, I mingled with various people who I was led to believe held certain positions of power and had access to untold knowledge of the arcane. However, I have yet to find anything close to the arcane energy that I felt emanating from the black feather and the wonder experienced during my first and only dream. In a remarkable twist of fate, I have agreed to deliver something to Sylf Aelin, who is currently with both Miwa Nise and Okhtus Aurelius. Initially, I was fixated on cataloging as many arcane spells as possible during my sabbatical from my duties as a presiding judge, but now my focus pivots to obtaining the most powerful and useful magic. I am strangely drawn to this path of reunion and can't shake the feeling that this is somehow connected to this mysterious feather in my possession.
