couldn't handle the harsh expectations she constantly faced at her former clan.
suppressed the cruel persona she adopted to keep up with the court life and became a selective mute because of it, fearing that she might say something insulting instinctively. communicates mainly through telepathy.

was offered a life at the alcove after being found by tala, who just so happened to be in the marketplace when she saw her curled up in an alleyway.

gilded glass --> her disguise made through self-taught magic; often unseen to the untrained eye when she darts through the shelves and nearly blinding anyone who actually does lay eyes on her unless she controls the 'effects' to have it them be unaffected


misc :
kamatayan meets palatia and dislikes how she caught him off guard. somehow ropes her into letting him chase her to train his senses. his curiosity as to how she honed such a skill leads to her trusting him with her story and her actual voice much to their shared surprise.

he in turn learns a thing or two about empathy by caring about her.
