## Biography

### Early Life

Most of Onica's life is unknown; however, she mentioned she had been training under Cadia for years.

### Helping Brea

One day, Onica and Cadia are visited by Princess Brea and the Librarian of the Vapra Clan, where Onica approaches them and informs the princess that Cadia has been expecting her. He sends the Librarian away and begins to answer Brea's question of a mysterious symbol. However, Onica knows what the symbol means but is silenced by Cadia when he glares at her and tells her to give him powdered nulroot. Onica protests but Cadia ignores they concerns, which leads his Apprentice to do as she is told and is aware that Cadia is attempting to drug Brea, so she can forget she ever saw the symbol. However, the princess pretends to accidentally drop her payment for the Elder, who promptly asks Onica to help him. Unknown to the two Sifa, Brea makes a switch with the teas. After picking up the money, as Brea and Cadia drink, the princess reveals the switch while Cadia's memory begins to falter, shocking Onica. Infuriated, Cadia attacked Brea and begins to assault her, threatening make her forget and ignoring Brea's protests to be released, which causes Onica to take a nearby jug and knocks Cadia out after Brea yelled for him to let go.

Onica tells Brea that Cadia only sees it as the end but believes that it's also a the sign for new beginning. Knowing she needs a unamoth to lead Brea to the answers she seeks, Onica instructs Brea to retrieve the brightest "jewel" in her mother's chambers but warns Brea she has until tomorrow night, which is when Onica will be gone, leaving with the tides as they change. When Cadia wakes up, he has no recollection of what happened or his identity.

#### Unamouth Chrysalis

The next night, Brea came to Onica's tent. Howver, she feared she was too late until Onica revealed herself. She sent Cadia to collect the runes but he was not sure where he put them or what runes even were. After hearing Cadia address Onica as "Elder Onica," the young Gelfling revealed that she gave herself a long-overdue promotion because of Cadia's recent memory loss. Brea then revealed the jewel she stole from her mother's chambers and thought it was the payment. However, Onica made it clear ot the princess that she does not want payment because it was not a jewel but a chyrsali that would lead her to the answers she sought. Onica chanted to the Unamouth as it hatched and flew ou tthe tent. Onica told the young princess to follow it, as it would take her to the answers she sought. As Brea thanked Onica, the young Sifa woman then wished the princess luck as she flew after the creature.

### Gelfling Resistance

#### Second battle-of Stone-in-the-Wood

After the young Gelfling Stonewood warrior, Rian united two halves of the Dual Glaive, Onica, like all the Gelfling in the world, heard his call for their help to joining his forces in Stone-in-the-Wood. Onica followed Ethri to Stone in the Wood and came to the other Gelflings aid, as did the rest of the Gelfling Clans. Following this, she celebrated with everyone else in their victory.

## Personality

Unlike Cadia, Onica saught to help other people, not under fraud and pretense, but rather, saught to tell them the truth, showing she wanted to help people. She is an honorable young woman, as she refused to get payment from Brea, who mistook the unamoth chrysalis for a jewelry. It is shown she can quite protective, as she was immediately worried for Brea when she first entered Cadia's tent. It is shown Onica does not like it when Cadia assaulted Brea and knocked him out cold when he didn't let her go when Brea ordered him to release her.  When Cadia's mind was wiped by Brea, Onica had no qualms of taking over as Elder.
