Esha

**Esha** is one of Maia Drazhar's edocharei.

## Appearance

He is goblin-dark and four or five years older than Maia (close to Deret Beshelar's age). He is older than Nemer.

## Personality

Esha was very stern about proper dress protocol. He could be very prim when commenting on things, such as early snow.

## Life

Echelo Esaran assigned Esha to Maia, along with Avris and Nemer. Esha helped prepare Maia for sleep and the day, and helped handle wardrobe changes. When Maia wished to visit his mother's tomb, Csevet Aisava called in the edocharei to consult, and Esha saw no impropriety in the visit, and focused more on how Maia should not be unveiled when out in public.

Esha helped handle Maia's jewelry, particularly the Michen Mura. Maia's edocharei insisted that Maia eat some soup before sleeping after his coronation, and given Maia only has three of them, it's likely that Esha was in this group.

Esha helped dress Maia very warmly for his dinner with Vorzhis Gormened.

Esha sometimes argued with Avris about jewelry. He also took care of Maia's nails so that they were growing long enough to lacquer.

After the attempted coup, when Maia could not sleep, he awoke early, and Esha and Avris disapproved of Maia's insistence on staying up, out of concern for Maia's health.

## Skills

Esha was skilled at his job, which involved dressing and undressing the emperor, and putting him to bed. Esha in particular helped with Maia's jewelry and nails.

## Relationships

#### Maia Drazhar

Esha appeared to care for Maia, and was protective of him. Maia appreciated someone caring that he was too cold. Esha often disapproved of Maia's sleep being interrupted/being up too early.

## Quotations

* “It is our job, Serenity"
* “We are entirely unharmed,” Maia said, “and we are not so frail that one night’s interrupted sleep will send us into a decline.” “You should look more carefully into your mirror, Serenity,” Esha said tartly.”
