She is a healer. A hermit. A holy fool. She is in her early forties. People avoid her and fear her but secretly rush to her house at night. Every time she swears that she will no longer help people but once again she can’t refuse. She knows that her gift will someday destroy her but continues to give people the only chance for salvation.
