Name: Eamon Valda du Martyn
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 40
Mate: Damodred is now dead, so what does it matter?
Description: She has rather darkly tanned, leathery skin from years of sun exposure. Her long hair is dark reddish, deeply streaked with gray. Her eyes are a very light, very yellowish brown that sometimes disturbs people. She wears very billowy, loose fitting clothing, seeing no point in wearing the more fashionable, body-hugging dresses most wealthy people wear. She wears much decadent, gold and begemmed jewelry, all gifts from her husband. She never leaves the house without these pieces of mismatched jewelry. Around her wrist she wears a leather cord, each end having a pale blue glass bead, on one end a black seagull feather, on the other end a string of cowry shells. This is so she can be identified as a Windfinder, one who moves the air and water with magic so a ship can move from port to port with the highest level of efficiency possible. She never seems to be in a good mood, despite the good fortune in money her profession has brought in. Ever since the death of her husband, she has just seen no point in happiness, or life, but she has decided to keep living anyways, if not happily.
History: When she was thirteen years old, she went a special school for those who show exceptional talent in working air and water magic to become a Windfinder. Graduating with highest honors at twenty, she received her first job as Windfinder for the fishing boat Windracer. The captain, Damodred Martyn, fell in love with her over time, and Eamon soon fell in love with him as well. They got married and lived together for nineteen years happily, until one day, when they were trying to outrace a storm back to port while on the open ocean. Eamon thought to take power from the storm to help speed them on their way, but her plan failed horribly. She took too much power from the storm, causing the mast to break when the torrent of stolen storm winds blew against the ship. Helplessly stuck in the path of what had become a hurricane, the crew members watched in horror as the gyrating wall of water crept closer, until they were sucked into the storm. The ship was sunk, possible destroyed, and all onboard died but one, including Damodred. However, Eamon was saved by Arquol and Wavriln, the twin gods, for having been such a faithful worshipper. However, Eamon had to agree to do the bidding of the two gods if the need arose, and was left a mark on each shoulder, bluish wavy lines on her left shoulder, and whitish spiral-like marks on her right. She was marked permanently as a follower of the Twins.
Other: Overcome with grief at her fatal mistake, taking the life of her husband, Eamon has vowed never to work as a Windfinder again, and, if possible, never use her magic unless absolutely necessary.
