Bio:
Born in the Republic of O'Ddelin to Inero Matei, a medium-scale book trader, and Rani Kaden, his wife as the second child. For the first five years Naia had the same life as any other child of her age - she played, had fun and learned how to speak surprisingly fast, the first sign of the direction of the rest of her life. It was during a routine exam that she was diagnosed with the O'Hharyu Syndrome, a rare and usually deadly magical syndrome which usually killed one well before the Change. At first Naia was wondering her parents were crying after hearing the news, but after the doctor explained her she was struck with fear. Yet something else was also present in the young girl, bravery to face this head on and try to defeat the syndrome that no one defeated until now.
So the young girl studied, while using a magical device that constantly pumped magical power out of her to prolonged her life even by little. To use every minute of each day she slept shorty, often taking only three hours of rest each day, which permanently affected her growth, making her even shorter then other I'Llinay of her age. But it was worth is as it allowed her to learn all that she could under the guidance of Zeryo Nisum, who was imminently interested in this intelligent girl of unbreakable spirit, to whom she was introduced thanks to some connections that her father head in the book trade. Thanks to his guidance Naia's genius was unlocked and at the age of eight she was on pair with the top researches that looked into how magic and living beings functioned together. During the next two years Naia, under Zeryo's supervision managed to achieve the unimaginable and come up with a method, albeit a slightly less then practical one, to live with the O'Hharyu Syndrome. The method was to train mentally in order to get the ability to direct the excess magical energy into body hair and there turn it into magical crystals without much damage to the affected person. After even a tiny crystal is formed a magical ritual is conducted to send all excess magical energy there (trough more then one crystal is preferred to have reserve "vents"). Crystals that form on this point are regularly collected and the person can do whatever he/she wants with them.
Thanks to this achievement Naia's name became famous in the academic circles. The next few years she expanded her knowledge while improving or correcting several magic-related matters. One of the most notable examples of her work is the simplification of magical writing used for large-scale rituals and similar magical processes. But it was two years ago that she was asked to take on the greatest tasks of all - work on magical portals, something that no one managed to create and keep stable yet. For the project Naia learned all she could about portals and quickly got to work. Knowing she needed a massive power source as well as a complex magical process written down she designed a massive structure of magical crystals that was both a magical power source and an excellent medium for magical processes. Despite the cost her home country founded the efforts, wanting to have a working portal which would have many possible uses. And not only did Naia's machine work she believed it could more, but the top brass didn't want to give in, until she managed to get one of the country's wealthiest merchants on her side. With this Naia started her experiments which in the end resulted in the establishment of a portal to Earth.
By then Naia was immensely popular amongst the populace as some of her research managed to improve the life of many. The academics used her image to gain founds for themselves and were starting to gain to much power in politics, something that wasn't warmly received by the government primary made out of the representatives of craftsman, merchants and landowners. So in hope of lessening her influence on the public, by being out of sight, she was sent to Omnibus.
Personality:
Naia is mostly calm and serious in front of others, opening only when she is working on her research or when with friends, when she is a cheerful chatterbox that just lets a flood of sentences out of her mouth, including her thoughts, even if those are not related to the topic at hand. Loves taking looooooong baths, doing research, playing K'Ttasi (a chess-like game) and petting A'Rrie (her per, a N'Aati, a rabbit-like predators which behave similar to cats). Dislikes physical exercise (but still does it regularly), very spicy/sweet/salty food/drinks (basically any food/drink with a particularly strong taste), loud noise and those that are to prideful of themselves.
Abilities:
Medium Level Water Magic
Water Magic is the ability to create and control water at will. At medium level it is powerful enough to summon and control enough water to fill half of a Olympic pool.
Medium Level Wind Magic
Wind Magic is the ability to create and control wind at will. At medium level it can crate gusts with speeds up to 175 km/h.
High Level Internal Magic Manipulation
The ability to manipulate one's internal magic flows. Except for being the key in controlling the O'Hharyu Syndrome it also can be used to improve one's own body by diverting and precisely controlling magic flow into specific areas of the body or even the whole body, if one has enough magical energy to do this. The higher the level the more efficient and effective the boost is.
Low Level External Magic Manipulation
The ability to sense and manipulate the flows of magic outside one's body. Low level only allows one sense magic flows and to manipulate magic flows originating from one's own body.
High Level Portal Magic
Allows the creation of manipulation of portals. At high level one can create a single human sized-portal with a range of up to 5 km (or a smaller one with a longer range). Applications are up to the imagination of the caster.
