Noosha/Hooks

Gypsy

Estranged from her family and touched by shadows, Noosha has no real home to call her own. She has found a way to live on her own, though it also includes her own superstitions, moral codes, and keeping a bit of distance around strangers (i.e., everyone).

Money Money Money

Other folk may dismiss her fixation on coin as simple greed, but during her travels and tribulations, Noosha has noticed one constant: money is power, and a gypsy with nothing but her name needs all the power she can to stay alive. To her, it is not just wealth; it is bread, water, health, and even the air one breathes.

Soul of an Artist

Despite her cold calculation and seeming detachment from regular Folk, Noosha is enthralled by all things artistic. Things like discussing the nature of art, talking shop with her fellow performers, or watching the performance of others are effective ways to melt her iciness.

"This One"?

As a shadow inhabiting a Soulless, Noosha has a different perception of self than most, viewing herself as a piece of Shadow detached from from the whole. In conversation, she refers to herself as "one" or "this one" to emphasize the separation, although she uses "me" and "I" in poetry and song as a matter of convention.
