Sohalia Lumaris
The Collegium was quiet and empty, peaceful in a way that Sohalia had not expected. She walked through the towering stacks of books, clutching her bag against her side as she looked up, turning round, inspecting her surroundings with unabashed curiosity. Today, she wore her light blonde hair in a single plait down her back, coiled and pinned at the base of her skull, a few tendrils escaping to frame her pretty face. Her dress was a deep green and of simple, but comfortable, make; her skirts swirled around her ankles as she turned on her heel again, this time just for the joy of spinning.
It was midday, and she wondered if perhaps the library was so deserted because it was lunchtime; she herself had eaten a late breakfast and was ready to spent quite some time in the Collegium. She'd come with questions, and she wasn't planning to leave until she got some answers. It was far past time for her to learn about all the things her guardian had kept her safe from, before she had left home half a year before.
She'd start with the gods, and she sought out a section on the deities of Caido, poring over the books she found there with a practiced eye. She'd learned of the history and geography of Caido in the Greatwood's Undercroft, and it was there that she had found a love of books and learning. Here, though, it was about more than just satisfying her own curiosity. It was about gathering the information she would need in order to live successfully in this world she called home.
Sohalia made a careful selection of one book, then two, then three, and took her small stack over to one of the small tables scattered throughout the library. There she sat down, opened the first of her books, and began to read.
