Background Personality
  • Born into a family of accomplished doctors and old-tech researchers, the youngest of four children
  • After giving in to the teasing of her ill-intentioned peers in grade school, Radha cut through a construction zone and suffered an accident where her left leg was severely crushed
  • Sent to live at garden estates of great-aunt Delni, a devout follower of Holy Jessia, to recover "safely"
  • After several surgeries and extensive physical therapy, Radha regains most of her mobility. She will always walk with a limp
  • Aunt Delni teaches Radha the various dances of worship and exultation in an attempt to help her regain her confidence
  • Radha pledges to become a woman of the cloth, returns to New Ry-ur and finds purpose working the prayer gardens
  • Her parents disapprove of her non career-centric choice, so she begins studying medicine (though her heart isn't in it) to reestablish common ground
  • Does her best to serve as a Minister, lending an ear to the burdens of those who visit her gardens. She takes particular interest in Coleton Muhunnad Sueanne (@dj2145), who seemed more shell than man, addict than actor. In a burst of inspiration she insists that help around the garden, and little by little she sees fragile new purposeful growth in his life. She worries about him more than she should, and spends more than one sleepless night wondering if he'll show up the next day in her garden or in the obituaries
  • Tensions soar as many misguided individuals foolishly reject the role of the Priestesses and Church. A few times on her walk home she's followed, but nothing bad ever comes of it. She suspects, but can't confirm, Coleton's involvement
  • The alien vessels are sighted, and Radha has an influx of anxious souls visit her gardens, who she does her best to reassure and guide, and provide a location free from the assault of speculations as to the future
  • She begins having vivid dreams of wheat threshed and grapes tread out, following her own mental tumult from viewing the alien vessels. Radha prepares for whatever Holy Jessia has for her next.
Radha is a patient, rooted woman with an olive complexion and loose dark brown hair. She can often be found quietly tending all manner of plants in the Church of Holy Jessia's intricate prayer and meditation gardens. While Radha knows that you cannot know Holy Jessia directly, walking the garden and the paths within mark one of the ways to begin developing an understanding of the Divine. She often acts as guide for those starting out on that journey, lending a quick and patient ear to any wayfarer with burdens to unload. Sometimes she gives advice or medical recommendation, but often companionable silence is all that is needed. She is an idealist, seeing foremost the best in everybody, and their potential capacity for good. Her few true resentments centered around her injury are buried deep, and bubble to the surface when confronted with her parent's lack of understanding, or in the bitter cold of winter when her leg aches more than she can ignore.
Family

  • Second Oldest Brother - Manas Devu-T'Iisby (33), Pediatric cardiologist who loves making others laugh. Lives in the city with his husband (Leon Devu-T'Iisby (33), light sculptor ) and their rescue dog Talli.
  • Third Oldest Brother - Akash T'Iisby (31), Absent-minded, handsome, mathematically brilliant neurologist. Soon to be married to his fiancée (Suni Midden (28) performance artist).

For her healing focus, I latched on to the mental / psychological side of the description of the Heal skill:

Quote:
Heal: Employ medical and psychological treatment for the injured or disturbed. Roll it to cure diseases, stabilize the critically injured, treat psychological disorders, or diagnose illnesses.

I don't imagine she would immediately be competent in addressing battlefield trauma, but she herself did go through an extensive healing / rehabilitation phase when she was younger, which would allow her to connect with those going through traumatic events. I could definitely see giving her Heal 2 instead of Talk 2, in which case she would be an actively practicing therapist / psychiatrist through the Church. There's some flexibility in the role she could ultimately fill. Right now she's more "give good and moral advice" than "prescribing drugs." orc2.gif

To maintain consistency with her background as currently written, I don't plan on increasing her Dexterity skill unless she finds some kind of mechanized external brace, cybernetic prosthetic, or genetic therapy that would restore mobility to her left leg.

For her Work skill, I'll be balancing the skill level 2 descriptor:

Quote:
Level-2 Veteran expert, one respected even by those with considerable experience

with the direction to make characters more in the everyday Jane category. Radha's Work represents her study and practice of Horticulture. The Church's gardens in New Ry-ur are limited in size, as space within the city proper comes at a premium, but are extremely well funded. Serving as an ordained Minister of Holy Jessia and a horticulturist, Radha became masterful at choosing and arranging plants in such a way as to allow the viewer to truly contemplate the Divine. Under her care, the church grounds became a living work of art for all seasons. She would also have some experience in the Church's greenhouse with treating diseased plants, understanding flora taxonomy, and using (but not maintaining) the hydroponic systems.
