A person of Neshiyah
Kinneret Gefen, child
Child
Kinneret Gefen
Child, about 3 years old. This is the second life this soul has lived in Neshiyah.
Kinneret Gefen is a small, deliberate child who squats at the river’s edge for long stretches, thumbing smooth stones and watching the water carry leaves away. She is quick to laugh and quicker to fury, throwing herself flat on the ground when a toy is taken, then rising as if nothing happened, already reaching for the next thing. She trusts almost anyone who squats to her level, but keeps a sharp eye on the fog-line. The town notes how she will stop mid-step, tilt her head, and say, clear as a bell, *the fog is just fog* — then go back to her play. She wants to touch the water’s bottom, though it is deeper than it looks.
Temperament
Curious to a fault; trusting, within reason; hot-tempered; always in company; given to sitting by the river.
What people say
Kinneret Gefen believes what everyone believes: the fog is the edge of the world, and the fields need working whether it is true or not.
The dream
