Leona

Anoel is Leona's fetch. She is a lion spirit and, according to Hsunchen belief, Leona's second soul. Anoel has few ideas and always does as she is told. This makes her a dull conversationalist. Leona relies heavily on her to keep an eye on things while she is asleep or discorporate. Anoel's powers are:

Saido, Leona's allied spirit, is a long dead Basmoli hero from Pamaltela. The world he sees through Leona's eyes often seems strange and confusing. Saido thinks Leona fails to show a proper contempt for suffering and death. He is always urging her to be strong and courageous. Saido sometimes forgets that he is no longer a mighty hero. His powers are:

This spirit is an ancient Elvish shaman who considers himself to be Leona's mentor. Since he is a bound ghost, Orne cannot see without Second Sight (a spell Leona has thoughtfully provided). Orne still thinks of himself as a powerful shaman. He is always burdening Leona with advice and criticism. He remembers Prax as a lush forest and, like Saido, sometimes gets confused.

HOTEK(friendly) is Leona's mother's father. (Basmolis trace ancestry through the female line.) She was his favorite grandchild and he remains friendly and supportive. In life he was a Daka Fal shaman and he still hopes his granddaughter will choose this path. Hotek sometimes makes himself visible, though this always frightens the baboon. His powers are:

AYAHLA(friendly) is Leona's eldest daughter. She was being groomed for shamanhood when she died. She loves her mother and follows her constantly. (If only one ghost is with Leona, it is Ayahla.) Her powers are:

NIONA(friendly) is Leona's youngest child. She was scarcely more than a baby when she died and doesn't really understand the difference between life and death. Leona has not seen her for a long time and is afraid that someone may have bound her. Her stats are:

ENSCATHA(neutral) is Hotek's wife, a shaman of frightening power who terrorized her pride for years. Hotek blames her own death. Enscatha considers herself a better shaman than Leona. She feels that Leona is betraying the pride by failing to reproduce and constantly nags her to get married. Enscatha often threatens to possess Leona in order to show her the proper conduct of a Basmoli woman. She sometimes torments Leona's baboon or sets fire to things to show her displeasure.

Enscatha would never seriously endanger Leona, who is her last living descendant. Sometimes Leona thinks she should go to the Dead Place, just to get rid of Enscatha. Enscatha's powers are:

TULITA and GOBIR(neutral) are Leona's mother and father (a shamaness and an acolyte, respectively). They believe that Leona destroyed the pride by breaking taboo and camping in a swamp. They often urge her to remember the taboos, never eat bison in Sea Season, never change clothing on Godday, etc. Leona no longer cares much about the taboos because she thinks there is no one left to be hurt. Her parents think she is an ungrateful and disobedient daughter. Both fear Enscatha and are sometimes bullied into supporting her against Leona. Like Enscatha, they would not do Leona serious harm. (Though a good spanking would…..). Their powers are:

JUNGO and AFARI(neutral) are Leona's sons. Jungo was almost a warrior when he died. He blames Leona for his inability to mature. Afari idolizes Jungo. Since Jungo disapproves of Leona, Afari does also. Leona blames herself because she never had enough time for the children when they were alive. Their powers are:

VOMAK, SLUD and PHLEK(malign) are three of the many broos Leona has killed in revenge for her pride and family. Since they had nothing to do with that atrocity, they consider themselves to be innocent victims and are hot for vengeance. They occasionally pounce on Leona when she is asleep or engaged in spirit combat. Thus far their malice has done little. They hope, someday, to find a broo shaman who will help them exterminate this terrible broo killer.
