APPEARANCE <---- coming soon
PERSONALITY Saia very much is a person who lets her disability rule her instead of her ruling it. Born with no eyesight whatsoever, Saia is a timid and meek creature, being passed off on the kindness of one household to another. While she's a kind and gentle soul, she's been taught to be silent and blend into the background when possible, and is loathe to speak up or defend herself.
It's also made her anxious in social situations where she's unfamiliar with the people or setting. Clingy and co-dependent, she is often in her mistress's shadow and is content to stay there. While she's kindhearted and forgiving, she has a hard time expressing it because of her self-stigma of being crippled and useless, and therefore unworthy to speak to others.
ABILITIES Saia was taught numbers and music from a young age, numbers out of necessity and music out of convenience and want of a purpose to serve. She is not well-educated, but she has picked up the mannerisms of some of the more graciously demure nobles due to public events where she was required to play music. Now, these ability serve function in Frostwood as Cyphir's personal assistant, her music alighting the halls while her keen hearing affords her the knowledge of town gossip coming through the brothel so her mistress will always be armed at public functions.
Hobbies Music -
While she has a talent for it, talent isn't always enough if there is no love for the craft. Because she's predisposed to not speaking, Saia feels more comfortable expression herself with music, quickening the tempo when her passions or interest are heightened, and drawing out long sombre notes when she's lonely or apprehensive. Often, when she can and with those used to responding to her in fits of silence, she will have a small lap harp that she'll pluck to denote her responses.

Identifying by smell, and by cautiously counting out ingredients, Saia has developed an interest in simple herbal remedies. Often when one of the girls is sick, or has contracted a nasty....malady....that makes conducting business difficult, Saia will whip up an herbal remedy to help the healing quicken. She is by no means a doctor and cannot help with wounds that require stitching or intensive care, but muscle pains, common illnesses, and brothel-specific ailments she's gone out of her way to learn. In truth, she's quite happy when surrounded by the different scents and spices and happily accepts any stray herbal gifts the girls of the brothel or Cyphir bring to fill her cabinet.
People 'watching' -
Saia can't people watch in the most basic sense of the word, but when she ventures out into town in Cyphir's shadow, she highly enjoys listening and taking in the sounds of people. How they act, their demeanor's, tones of voices, the weight of their footsteps, laughs. She intently listens to them all, happy to learn about others no matter their opinion on an undesireable such as herself.
