"*I thought that I wouldn't be able to control it. Earlier, when the flame was too big... I almost burnt you. And if I lost control of it at that point, I probably would have. I don't want to take that risk, that's the last thing I want.*"
―To Marnina during a training session

## Biography

Priya was born in Dracia to Cordula and Caelestis Kolohe. She lived in Dracia for only three years before her parents fled Semayi in fear of The Mandate. Priya spent the rest of her early childhood in Sennomaj, where she met Iniko Abdu. The two became close friends and spent most of their time together. Iniko was what the citizens of Sennomaj called "gifted," as was Priya. However, her parents had insisted that she conceal her magic to protect herself from those who might wish to harm her because of it.

As the years slowly trickled by, Sennomaj was hit with a series of natural disasters that seemed too coincidental to be left up to chance. The population began blaiming those who had magic, those who were "gifted." Riots began breaking out, and Priya's family began to grow fearful that the direwolves and melekians would find them in Sennomaj. So, one day when the riots had grown particularly bad, Cordula, Caelestis and Priya fled the scene during a flood after school had been cancelled.

As they ran, the two parents sent Priya ahead, saying that they would be right behind her. Terrified, Priya ran. When she was in the woods, she spotted direwolves running alongside her. She ran faster, though was ultimately unable to outrun the wolves. One tackled her and knocked her into a tree, shattering the fire resistance potions that she had been carrying. Afraid and certain she was going to die, Priya aimed her palms at the creature and let out a large blast of fire that was so large it gradually set the forest ablaze. The direwolves were killed in the process, but she was able to glimpse what appeared to be the leader of the group. She recalled him later after making it to safety.

She then waited for her parents, though they never came. She waited for around four years before giving up and coming to terms with their demise. It was at her first village that she learned about the identity of the man she had seen with the direwolves: Auxillium Raev. From that day on, she began running around, stopping at every town that she came across and staying there for a while before moving on.

This eventually led her to Taraxacum, where she met Caligo, Adira, Noor, and Oly. Caligo introduced her to James, who then hired her as an attendant in Praesidium's Castle. Priya began adjusting to her life in Taraxacum and befriended Tellum and Niara. She and Oly grew extremely close as they discovered that they both shared a passion for creativity.

One day, during a morning stroll through Taraxacum, she met Marnina beneath Quinn's Oak. The two began talking and they realized that they both were magic folk. They developed a sisterly bond, and Marnina began helping Priya control her Soliel magic. Despite having pyrokinesis, Priya was vulnerable to her own fire and would often burn herself while she tried to use it. This was the main reason she carried fire resistance potions around with her.

Eventually, she grew fond of Caligo, and confessed her feelings for him. Stunned and unsure how to react, Caligo left at first before he returned a few days later and apologized for his reaction. He then told her about his past and how his former love interest (Sunny) had been killed and how he believed he wasn't ready to love another. Priya expressed her condolences and the two patiently worked through the tricky situation before becoming inseparable.

## Abilities

* **Soleil Magic** - Priya was born with Soleil magic, and as a result is able to manipulate large flames and cast weak spells. Unlike others, she is vulnerable to her own fire, meaning that regardless of if she generates the fire it will burn her.
* **Baking** - On multiple occasions Priya has shown that she enjoys to bake and is a skilled baker.
