Dark Eyes

""Riahdohla Kip, also known as Riah, Dark Eyes or Seer was a starghast and a powerful conduit of the innamactic powers, responsible for the death of hundreds under the possession of the Afterkind. She later affiliated herself with the Amberfern Loyalists during the Battle of Eia in an effort to destroy her former master.

Her Followform was initially sent down to Eia to counter the accidental creation of Thraez, who had already become a puppet of the Afterkind in the few short years since his manifestation, however the transfer process also failed her and rendered her weak enough to be possessed. She developed, or was bestowed the power of Farsight similar to Sengra, and was a valuable asset to Thraez who made her his third-in-command next to Listener.

Abandoned at birth, Riah was left in the care of travellers crossing the Mechi-Fordain border at Cogus, who then took her to Shelbeth House Orphanage and Foster Home in Mantilwyth. Little is known about her parentage, but the travellers mentioned she was brought to them by a Gallnain farmer who claimed she was cursed. She suffered from seizures, anxiety attacks and rampant bouts of aggression due to the catastrophic damage to her system caused by the failed transfer, though her carers believed it to be a play for attention. Physically unable to sleep, Riah was visibly unique in a crowd - her face became drawn and almost bruised around her eyes, which gave her the moniker she hated. As her behaviour grew more unstable, the Home had her sent away for testing before committing to sectioning her in isolation, and she was subjected to numerous experiments and unfinished treatments. She was returned to Shelbeth House some months later, addled and apathetic from the extensive psychological trauma the tests inflicted, and quickly became a greater problem.

At this time, her innamactic awakening was beginning, and combined with psychopathy, she started hurting other children and staff without even touching them. Though she couldn't do serious harm, she could inflict small and incessant pains simply by concentrating on her victim.
