Jeasa Seni Galare

Jeasa, dressed for winter

Matriarch of the Seni Galare.

Appearance and Personality

Pert nose, delicate jaw, and sun-tinted green eyes. A head shorter than Jahir. She can be stubborn, like Jahir, but like him she hides it well.

Biography

This part should talk about her young adulthood, her marriage to Kolvin and their partnership, the birth of her first child, and the second (a welcome surprise). Kolvin's death, and raising her children as a single parent--her decision, finally, to come out strongly for Liolesa's aims by inviting Vasiht'h to Juzie's betrothal. Her letters to Jahir, her desire to see the outworld (deferred until she's done being the Seni head). Her interest in Haladir. Her becoming surrogate mother for Aeremina. She's had a busy life for an Eldritch!

Family

First marriage to Kolvin, and widowed. Mother of Jahir and Amber. Daughter of Lashaniel Seni.

Quotes

• "Not many families are so lucky as to have two children so near the same age, my son. You cannot both inherit, but we must never make Amber feel the lesser for it."

• "You are certain you don’t mind if I join you? I know it’s more usual for people who are not Eldritch to say what they actually mean and yet I can’t break myself of the habit of wondering if they are only mouthing courtesies…."

• "I shall leave these for another hour, as it pleases me more to speak to my future daughter about how she had better be here before sunset or I shall be forced to ride to Laisrathera to kidnap her."

• "At my table, in my house, you will always be met with authenticity. You will have real food here, and real words, and real affection."

• "Thank the Goddess, I have never had a gift that required the direction of an empire for consumation"
