Yaga
Overview | NPC |
YAGA (yah-gah) is a member of Salsola, currently ranked as one of The Family. A eerie figure, Yaga first began haunting Salsola in the early harvest season, October 2021. Her arrival was heralded with the leaving of strange and sometimes downright spooky 'gifts' along the Eastern border, which proved to be a great source of suspicion and intrigue to locals at the time. After finally revealing her strange offerings as the courtship of a potential joiner, Yaga was hesitantly welcomed into the Thistle Kingdom - largely because she had the apparent support and patronage of the powerful Helsi House. Yaga's connections to the Helsi family remain shrouded in mystery, but are likely tied to their common interest in the occult. Yaga seems particulaly affectionate and inspired when in the presence of (or simply talking about) one Víborg Helsi, whom she apparently befriended at the Fort Preble Outpost in Portland. Since her arrival in Salsola, Yaga has been cagey about discussing her past. Her odd mannerisms and eccentricities may make her somewhat of a social pariah, or conversely, they may gain her a cult-like following. For now she is being tutored in the ways of Salsola by her new Sponsor, the very-reluctant and easily-unsettled Morrow Larue, whom she takes a particular delight in creeping out. |

Physical Description |
On first glance, Yaga appears far older than her young years belie. Her bristly grey and tan-pointed fur, long white whiskers and gnobbly well-worked hands, in combination with the heavy bagginess of her many-layered clothing, might suggest a woman of middling age or older. But, when stripped back of all adornments and affectations, Yaga is startlingly younger than first impressions might make her seem. She is a relatively short and compactly built woman. Owing to her mixed dog genetics she has a dense, wiry pelt. She sometimes uses a mixture of charcoal and water to paint areas of her fur. Her hands and fingers are often stained darker than the rest of her body, owing to pigments and processes used in her craft. In her predominantly-used Optime form, Yaga's dark hair has a naturally very tight curl pattern, which keeps it bunched around her head and ears. It is rare to see Yaga without some form of clothing. She most often wears heavy cloaks that conceal the majority of her body's shape and figure, again painting the image of a much older crone-like individual rather than the young woman hidden beneath. Within the comfort of a pack, where she need not hunt for her dinners, Yaga may wear ceremonial or ornamental clothing that enhances her image as a witch, or displays the artfullness of her weaving skill. |
