**Svajūnas Mibraitis** (b. Sidabraitis; 22 December, 4 DAN — 10 October, 99 DAN) was a Foreaftian therapist and poet, the only child of Ramune, Eriga and Keened Sidabrienis, and the parent of Ty Cherry Misida.

## Biography

Svajūnas was born on 22 December, 4 DAN to. Xe was the biological child of Ramune Sidabrė, but it is unknown how she had gotten pregnant or who the other parent was, but xir visual similarity to Ramune had left many less considerate relatives joking that Ramune had cloned herself, much to Svajūnas' dismay. Xe was raised by her and husband Keened Sidabrienis from birth. Eriga Sidabrė joined the family last, becoming a step-mother of Svajūnas when xe was nine years old.

Unlike the overwhelming majority of Foreaftian children, Svajūnas did not attend a kindergarten, instead xe was placed in the care of other relatives. However, since Keened had been disowned by the Chariotts and Svajūnas was the firstborn of the generation in the Sidabres family, xe didn't have any cousins xir age to be raised together with. As a result, xe spent a lot of time with xir elders, particularly with the great uncle Zilvis and his partner, who were both archaeologists. It strongly influenced xir worldview, "old soul" personality and ignited an interest in the past and religion. It may have also contributed to Svajūnas becoming somewhat of a hoarder, as Cukre Sidabrė was one and occasionally cared for xir.

Around age 35 xe cut contact with Ramune Sidabrė entirely.

## Appearance

Svajūnas was eerily similar to Ramune, some relatives even joking that xe was a clone of hers. Xe had the same wavy dark chocolate hair, dark eyes, very pronounced cheekbones and an upturned, almost pig-like nose. Svajūnas had a pointed chin, peachy skin with almost symmetrical pairs of birthmarks under each eye and a short and naturally thin build. Due to having fast metabolism xe struggled gaining weight, staying lightly underweight most of xir life. Xe didn't exercise much either and was noted as being physically weak.

## Personality

### Hopeless romance

Svajūnas was best described as uselessly romantic, catching feelings for others very easily, especially if they were xir friends.

### Conditional ambiversion

Due to being an only child and the firstborn of the generation in the whole family, Svajūnas ended up spending a lot of time with older relatives as a child and, being largely introverted, xe preferred to curl up with a heavy tome instead of recklessly swinging in a playground. Xe found xirself not fitting in much with xir generation and did not understand many mainstream trends. Thanks to niche interests in ancient religion and eras, timid demeanor and a tendency to collect and assign deep meaning to seemingly random trinkets, Svajūnas spent most of xir school years as the designated outcast. Xe did not mind it much, as xe preferred to things in xir own way and pace anyway.

Nevertheless, Svajūnas had a small circle of friends xe was satisfied with, some of which would bring out the ambiverted side of xir. In xir friend group Svajūnas was often among the most energetically social ones, in xir teen years even matching Naizel Durku at times in terms of initiative. Xe did, however, have to take time to recharge after intense socialising, especially after grandiose events, such as concerts the DIY clique often attended.

### Religion

Svajūnas considered xirself spiritual; since the age of 10 xe had been developing a personal belief system based on interpretations of various ancient religions, which's sole purpose was to help find peace and comfort in the deaths of close relatives and the limited time xe had to live. Because it was a personalised system, it wasn’t static and developed alongside Svajūnas’ perception of the world. Xe strongly believed religion was a personal matter that should not be pushed onto anyone, but gladly shared xir outlook in detail if asked, which xe did with Kalcain frequently in xir late teens.

One of the few static features of Svajūnas’ faith was the belief in the existence of an undying soul that was inherent to all beings, animals, plants and inanimate objects (even terrain and the weather,) the latter of which xe started including only in xir early 20s as a way to overcome hoarding. Svajūnas was practising tulpamancy from the age of 15 to better connect with xir soul and, while being somewhat ashamed to admit it, so that xe would never feel completely alone. Another major trait was the belief in reincarnation. Feeling a spiritual connection to the past, xe sincerely believed xe had past lives and sometimes found xirself missing them or wondering what they were. Xe did not, however, have faith in any punishment-reward system and lower classes of being, believing souls picked their next body on their own accord, depending on what they wanted to do.

> “The way I see it, it is just as much of a soul and you and me. It’s just resting. Like us at night. I think a soul needs more time than a few hours of sleep to recharge after living through decades as an animate being.“

Despite believing that living beings are just stages of a soul’s eternal life, Svajūnas showed high respect for xir ancestors and the dead.

Xe didn't have any concrete beliefs in deities, but from an early age was deeply fascinated with the ancient Kuru: deity Ma:je, who was the personification of the Moon and the patron of outcasts and artists. Although xe didn't believe in its existence, Svajūnas has expressed sympathy for Ma:je and related to their character, both in terms of being rather melancholic loners and because both xir and Ma:je were devoid of gender. Svajūnas claimed Ma:je was xir "agander awakening" and may have even named xir tulpa, Mae Sienna, after them.
