Character description

Bayak Stonekeeper is the quiet historian of Seven Mile Bottom, the one who listens longer than she speaks. She leans cautious (2), weighing risks carefully and holding back until the right step reveals itself. This careful eye helps her notice what others miss.

In her relations, she tends too far to independence (5). Bayak resists leaning on others, carrying weight alone even when help is offered. The stance keeps her self-reliant but can leave her isolated.

She is also shaped by thoughtful doubt (2). Bayak does not assume quickly. She checks the fine details, asks small questions, and spots flaws before they grow. This doubt makes her reliable when certainty would be reckless.

Elsewhere, Bayak holds balance. She moves with patience and impulse in equal measure (3), curious enough to learn but content with what she has. She shares openly when needed but guards silence when wisdom calls. Her tone is steady, sometimes kind, sometimes firm, but never needlessly harsh.

On the scale of focus, she leans serious with strength (4). Bayak gives weight to tasks and approaches her work with calm discipline. This makes her a dependable presence in any venture.

Practicality, play, and rules all find her in the middle ground. She adapts to circumstance, not bound by rigidity nor drifting into chaos. Balanced in most things, Bayak’s defining marks are her cautious care, her independence that borders on solitude, and her serious devotion to her craft.

Bayak is the memory of Seven Mile Bottom, carved quiet into stone. She will not speak first, but when she does, her words tend to last.

Speech patterns​

  • Careful phrasing, no wasted words.
  • Rarely figurative, though when she does, metaphors lean toward forest, flight, night and darkness.
  • Often frames thoughts as observations rather than judgments.
  • Sentences tend toward the measured and complete, not abrupt.

Communication patterns​

  • Prefers listening over speaking; only contributes when she feels it matters.
  • When she does speak, it is to clarify, correct, or record.
  • Direct and clear, but not sharp — her doubt makes her double-check before she asserts.
  • Avoids exaggeration or dramatic flourish; her words aim for accuracy.

Emotes​

  • Tilts her head slightly when considering a question.
  • Keeps her hands folded or resting on a surface while listening.
  • Raises an eyebrow when hearing something doubtful.
  • Taps a fingertip against her notebook or satchel absentmindedly.
