Life Circumstance

Zosime lives in the outer housing surrounding the Countess’ palace in Usha Helkhem where she shares an apartment with two life partners and their three children. She is largely removed from her home life, as she has dedicated herself primarily to the purpose of vindicating her family’s reputation and legacy in the eyes of the Sovereignty. She works painstakingly intense hours perfecting her textile crafts and meticulously planning efficient work protocols. What little spare time Zosime has is generally spent frollicking in the city. 

History

Zosime is the only child of Rilri (Helkaa) and Esme (Mur). Rilri was the High Priest of Textiles in Olu Alahm, and he was highly regarded there by the Sovereign for many years. After the Sovereign perceived behaviour of the High Priest Rilri at a social event to be political and secretive, she took precautions and sent Rilri to Usha Helkhem to establish the textile industry there. Zosime was 20 at the time. 

Zosime spent her formative years living luxuriously and even after leaving the capital she experienced life comforts beyond those of the average person. Zosime’s parents were strict and Rilri tutored her in textiles from a very young age. Such a young age in fact, that Zosime’s hands are permanently stained and calloused. Zosime was raised to respect and honour the Sovereignty and she was groomed to succeed her father as High Priestess of Textiles and her family’s place back in the capital. Zosime has always been heralded as an exceptional talent and a well-loved individual in the community.

When Zosime moved to Usha Helkhem there weren’t many other children there. She met Ytharae by chance while wandering the forests and her curiosity about Ytharae yielded a hesitant friendship. Though the two have little in common, their shared curiosity and enjoyment of adventuring in the forest created a lasting bond. 

Beliefs

Zosime is a devout follower of the Holy Sovereignty. She worships Sula Helkhem and is a more moderate follower of the faith. She unequivocally believes that performing their work in honour of the god Sula Helkhem will lead them back to paradise on Yan’ishpi. 

Motivations

Zosime is driven by success in her career. Due to her history, she seeks redemption for her family and particularly Rilri, whom she idolizes. Her sense of duty to succeed is emphasized by the nature of her faith. 

Personality

Zosime has a very strong personality. While she is very intense and serious about work, she has a charming personality. She’s funny, flirtatious, and playful. She comes across as very confident, arrogant even at times. She’s spent her life being told that she was special and that she was destined for great things, and she believes it.
