A person of Neshiyah
Talia Sharon, child
Child
Talia Sharon
Child, about 17 years old. This is the second life this soul has lived in Neshiyah.
Talia Sharon is a small, deliberate child, often found kneeling at the edge of a turned furrow, examining the soil with the patience of someone twice their age. They have a habit of pressing their thumb to their chin when thinking, a gesture that makes them look older than their ten years. The town sees them as quiet, reliable, a bit distant—not unfriendly, but happiest when the work is solitary and the hands are busy. What they want is to see the fog part, just once, to know if the sentence they have carried since birth is a promise or a trick. They believe the fields need working, and they work them, but they never stop watching the white wall at the horizon.
Temperament
Curious when something is in front of them; quick to believe what they are told; hard to anger; happiest alone; able to sit still when it matters.
What people say
Talia Sharon 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
Since the morning they were born they have carried a sentence in a voice like their own: “the fog is just fog.”
