Iosefka/History

Iosefka was a resident of Anor, an ancient Angelian civilization, and the creator of the body of scholars that would eventually become the governing body in the place of the useless one prior, Essemaior. She was the oldest daughter of five children, and helped keep her family afloat with Anor's previous harsh class struggle. She was a frail, extremely shy, naïve, sensitive girl who had a terrible stuttering problem and very deep rooted anxieties, but was so very kind regardless of that. She was, and remains, an avid researcher and scholar herself, and is the discoverer of the phenomenon she calls Echoes, wherein a higher plane of existence manifests on the physical, the dead walking amongst them as if living, breathing, alive and warm. While she was the founder of Essemaior, due to her 'inadequacies' she was overshadowed by her childhood friend, and eventual husband at nineteen, Ephraim. At some point, research led to the consumption of Celestial flesh, and despite her insistence that it was an unholy and damning act, Anor continued down said path. King Cato ignored her calls, and being visited by an unknown Celestial who gave Iosefka, now twenty years old, a time limit to stop the atrocities, the city was eventually razed by that same Celestial and she was cursed. As far as she knows, she is the only one that survived the end of Anor.

When Iosefka came to in Kalon, the time unknown, in the deep cold of the North, she was attacked by a large cat like animal that inflicted the same wounds her scars paint the picture of on her shoulders. Lying in the snow, dying, she was saved by Jesper and his group on a job. Getting her the adequate care she needed, Iosefka, skittish and unsure of where she was, who these people were, or what they were saying, was eventually taken in by the man, and over the course of a few years, she began her journey toward becoming the woman she is today.

At some point in Jesper's mansion in Ansan, Iosefka peeked into a future that showed Lorian's demise against Ixesis. Deciding to finally venture out on her own, take the reins in her life, and see if she could actually change a future, she left for Oriflamme, finding Lorian in an alleyway battered and bruised, nudging him with her foot for his attention. "You look like a mess," she told him, extending out her hand for his. "I can help with that." And thus she joined Chariot.

Chapter Six
Iosefka ventures into Lorian's office to confront him about Iglas and Gen and his desire for revenge. Though she thinks she's convinced him in some way that he is not exactly as prepared as he thinks he is. Her desire to right wrongs and consider his actions, confront his grief, his loneliness as a root cause of all his problems, instead of enacting revenge, paramount in the situation. She, however, is ordered to go find the pair and what they are up to. She agrees, believing him to being truthful during the conversation that he will try to speak to his father instead of acting rash.
