Imele looks like a young woman who has lost much and bears a significant pain in her beaten blue eyes. Bringing a presence into every town she comes into contact with and her supposedly cursed fate brings people at odds, and she carries herself often like a reaper of sorts. Imele stands at an unassuming height of 5’4” with long disheveled green hair and light skin.
Most often Imele is tattered in a hooded long jacket, a neck-high over-shirt made of wool to keep her warm, and a light shirt underneath both things alongside a pair of unassuming pants and mud-tracked boots. She bears a necklace made of silver that represents her clan by showcasing their symbol, and a long belt to sheath her priestess staff is usually equipped even though she rarely uses it considering she holds onto the item more often than not.

Imele is quiet and introspective, feeling the rare situation where she needs to talk. This is, in part, due to her being one of the only survivors of the Moyen Clan Massacre by The Order in 4425; a deeply scarring event that has damaged a once brighter, friendly, and optimistic girl. But Imele doesn’t put the blame entirely on the traumatic event as she explains that it has more to do with how seeing, comprehending, listening, and convening with lost souls has brought her a “new perspective” on life— though she does still feel much sadness for what happened to her family. Though despite not having malevolent intentions the people of Dun are generally unnerved by her quiet and solitary personality in combination of her abilities. People are intimidated by her sullen presence which causes Imele to gain little friends or romantic companions.
However, when Imele does speak— her brief expressions through dialogue are seen as either too direct or at times inappropriate. Whilst she doesn’t seek to insult others she is blunt, honest, and rather straight-forward regarding how she feels about certain situations and about what her powers lead to. Generally, most people don’t want to hold a conversation with someone who has brief matter-of-fact responses and is blunt about how she can convene with the dead; the latter has especially caused friction in townships where the Moyen Clan is obscure leading to accusations of her being a witch, warlock, and on one occasion a necromancer.
To say Imele is apathetic about these accusations and happenings would be incorrect however as buried as they may be the green-haired girl does have feelings, attractions, and emotions that go beyond “sullen, sad, and honest”. A direct reaction to losing everyone she’s ever loved has made her struggle with showing more chipper emotions and the effects of seeing lost or lingering spirits has affected her ability to relate with others and properly express joy and happiness.

Martial Artist: Imele was trained by Guon Moyen, her father and a former warden of Dunskari’s Vann. She was trained specifically in redirection of blows and subtle strikes rather than distinctly inflicting harm. In addition to her dexterous training as a Priestess of the Moyen Shrine this adds a supplementary ability that has proven useful.
Shrine Priestess: Imele’s mother, Maritka Moyen, trained her to follow the traditions of the clan and particularly her unique talent of convening with lost souls. In addition to the rites of passing, and extensive lore knowledge this included a training in their clan’s weapon arts. It is due to this that Imele carries about a priestess’ staff and knows how to use it in combat and non-combat utilizations.
Spiritual Medium: Imele descends from the Moyen Clan, a group of people that studied the world of spirits, the deceased, and the energy that binds them together. Sourced in the magical force that represents souls of the long departed, Imele and her family have existed to serve spirits for the better. As a medium Imele can detect life, feel the essence of residual energy from various spirits, and consult the knowledge of old souls— specifically of the Moyen bloodline.
Spiritual Vessel: As an extension of her abilities as a spiritual medium, Imele can consort with spirits when she is in a meditative state and ask for them to share their knowledge and abilities with her during states of crisis. There are multiple risks with allowing powerful spirits to bond with her with the worst aspect being subject to malicious possession.

Imele was born on the outskirts of Dunskari in a large territory alongside the Xahg River known as Moyrah, the birthplace of the Moyen Clan and several branches of it that came together. The town was centered around a central tomb, graveyard, & cathedral of no specific religious origin. Imele’s parents raised her alongside her two siblings, Jonas and Andru. For the majority of her life, Imele grew up knowing the responsibilities of the Moyen Clan and what it would mean to become a priestess of the dead. Her father, a reserve member of Dunskari’s Vann raised her with awareness of the nation beyond the confines of the village and the importance to travel and experience the world whilst her mother trained her to deal with spirits of all kinds with respect and understanding should she choose to act upon her teenaged wanderlust.
In 4426 with her family is approached by a member of the group named Kanados who asks for their allegiance in the coming conflicts as he attempts to relate to their goal as keepers of the dead and protectors of Dunskari. However, the clan’s members see through his deceit and see his true intentions and refuse his arrangement to which they are executed by the man who orders the entire clan territory burned to make a statement. Some survivors flee, Imele, amongst them. She is the only survivor of her immediate family.
Following the incident that led to the massacre of the Moyen Clan, Imele became a wanderer as she began confronting the increasing presence of The Order, bringing Kanados to justice, and bringing peace to her family.
