== Appearance ==
Vihesaro is quite a bit above average, standing at 6’0 ''(183 cm)'' and weighing about 157 lbs ''(71 kg)''. A lot of her appearance varies based on her whims, and she often changes her size as she wishes, but she has an appearance she ''typically'' wears. Her hair is generally an ashen black, and her skin is quite pale. Most of her body is usually hidden, adorned with a black, leather-like cloak with gold and green trim along the edges of the hood and cuffs of the sleeves. Underneath, she wears several layers, as well as jewelry she herself has created with her Carnomancy, designed to look like gold. 

With her face being what is seen the most, even if mostly hidden in the generally dark environment of a Kiraak, she typically adorns tattoos and ‘makeup’ designed to be intimidating to some degree, with black and blood-red paint around her eyes, and black paint on her lips. To her, most importantly, scars line her face extending from the corner of her lips to about the end of her jawbone, marked with stitch-like paint, a memory of who she once was as a slave to the Daeva Empire and proof she has grown past that.

== History ==
Vihesaro Koratsajaluli, simply known as "Via", was born during the reign of the Daeva Empire, a half-Daeva child who was ostracized by the tyrannical empire for her impure lineage. Turned into a slave due to her impure blood, with the reason claimed to be “for the shame she would bring to the nobility of the Daeva Empire”, Via’s life was miserable at best.

From the age of six years old up until she was twenty-one, Via endured the hardship of slavery while doing all she could to face against her oppressors - and despite her rather common disobedience, when she did do what she was told, she worked with ruthless efficiency that put her capabilities above others of her status. She was put in charge of a small group of slaves so their work would be more efficient, and she was strict.

When Ion first came and brought freedom to the slaves of the Daeva Empire, Via was one of the first who stood against them, with her companions - the other slaves she was tasked with training - following beside her. She fought in the great war that followed, the revolution and explosion of power that became the religion of the Nalkä. Via became a close adherent to the teachings of the Grand Karcist, alongside being an acolyte of the mysterious Klavigar Saarn. At first, she was simply another practitioner, fighting against the Daeva alongside her small - and slowly shrinking - group of companions.

As time went by, and the Kalmaktama Empire grew more and more powerful, the work Via did became less direct in opposition of the Daevites and more focused on ensuring that the Nälkä around her adhered to the will of Ion. She was strict, but ultimately fair and forgiving, and despite the order she maintained, Via was kind - and a paragon of what a true Nälkän should be as she sought the dream of Ikunaan. As her capabilities and influence grew, eventually Via became one of the original Karcists of the Kalmaktama Empire, establishing the Order of the Red Dream, an expansive sect dedicated to maintaining Nälkä’s order and safety, as well as ensuring that those who strayed from the light of Ion saw judgement, retribution, and redemption.

As the Kalmaktama Empire had grown more peaceful, and her will had been proven to her companions in faith as true and faithful to Nälkä, Via became more and more engrossed in the more mystical arts and practices that Nälkä had grown to use, and became one of the many disciples studying these arts. Unfortunately for her, she was thrown through the wringer once again as her own studying led to her being thrust into the same world as Akisa and her companions, where she quickly stepped into establishing order amongst the Nälkäns who had been stranded.

While things were peaceful on Nerivia - the world she had been thrown into - it was a universal truth that peace never lasts. Via’s steeled resolve from her experience fighting in the original war led her to becoming the voice of order and reason across war and peace alike.
