@ViridisDeas went in a weird direction with this but your existing lore inspired me, so.

Sometimes, she wonders what it would be like, to just... make that prophecy self-fulfilling. (No traitor more likely than they who are treated as though they are one, after all.) [*] But no, she can't do that. She doesn't want to betray her family. She doesn't want to be alone. She's angry to be called a traitor because she doesn't want to be one, not because she does! She just wants to be [i]happy[/i]. [*] Still, it makes for a lonely and quiet life. Sometimes her throat hurts when she talks, because it's been so long since the last time. [*] Besides, she's a lucky one. She's still in the clan. She wasn't banished like her brother. [*] Her brother, who made her beloved stuffed toy. [*] Her brother, who taught her how to fly and use what magic she had when her clan would not. [*] Her brother, who she invented code languages with as a child so they could talk without their words being scrutinized. [*] She misses her brother. [*] She wants him to come home. [*] And sometimes, she wants to follow him to wherever he's gone to make his own clan, no matter how much that would prove that omen right. But that brings us right back to the first dilemma - is she watching her parents make their own traitors? Will she be one of them? [*] She doesn't know. She's tired. She's really tired, all the time. [*] She doesn't tell anyone who made her stuffed toy, lets them think it was someone who hadn't left to form his own clan, and breathes. [*] One day, she'll either manage that impossible task of proving to her clan that she's no traitor, or she'll follow the person who was the one person who really [i]cared[/i] about her to where he's gone, and bring him everything she's learned about the clan in their time apart. This is what it actually means to be a traitor. [*] (Or maybe it's just what it means to be lonely.) [/LIST]

But if it comes to her in a vision, when she's awake and then suddenly thrust into the trance, as though she's seeing it through someone else's eyes, well, it means the event is already underway, most often happening at that very moment, and there's nothing she can do to help those poor souls.
