Egeze has wide glasses that perch upon her wedge-shaped ears, and her long, long hair is braided down past her behind. She stands on two digitigrade legs that make her appear even more spindly. She wears the colours of her house: Whites and blues primarily, with little, blueish crystal flowers set in a tiara on her head most days. Egeze can also almost always be found with a book or a tome in her arms. She has a depth of imagination and a knack for Aigard natural magic that has all but been lost to her people, and her parents encourage her to focus her mind on ledges and profits (or losses) from the war with the Balespawn, rather than practicing her talent. Because of this, Egeze often looks more weary and older than her eighteen years would otherwise mark her. When she does smile, though, her whole face lights up. She's not conventionally pretty to her people, but she has an ethereal beauty that hovers over the boundary of superstitiously bad luck, and "exotic" in a fascinating way.

Egeze, from the start, was not interested. She began demonstrating magical talent at a young age, manipulating the weather and freezing the very air when she was angry or sad... and her parents found even more reason to lock her away.

That's not to say that Egeze is a complete shut-in, but most of her socializing has come from her younger sister, Gratie. They were inseperable throughout their childhood, and Gratie was a life-line to the rest of the world that Egeze relied on. It was crippling, then, when Gratie was slated to be married and sent to another House, and had to begin extensive studies that kept the pair apart. Egeze lost her lifeline and fell into her own studies, but she felt like a shell of herself.

By the time Egeze turned sixteen, the war with the Balespawn was going poorly. The Houses were forced to pull back from their capital city, and Egeze got to see the world for what it was. She was overwhelmed at first, but realized she liked it so much better beyond the walls of Kaarden Desius that she refused to be shuffled into the Garandeklaven encampment.

She fled by night, seeking a place for her own where she could be free. Something within her was building in a horrible way: unused magic building up and pairing with a tough puberty had left her feeling like she might explode and take everyone with her. She stumbled over a dragon being burned by horrifically twisted balespawn creatures and, in a fit of heroism, Egeze whirled the surrounding snow and ice into a maelstrom that iced the corrupted creatures and put out the twisting burns that would have eaten the dragon alive.

After that, she was whisked to the Vella Crean encampment where other Aigard and their dragons were actively defending their brethren.

For the past two years, Egeze has been hidden in the camp, asking the riders to keep her identity secret. She burns with a new inner light that does little to bring her ghostly appearance more life... but Egeze is well respected now for her magical strength-- even if it's currently used as a bludgeon without any fine tuning.

Egeze misses her sister deeply and doesn't know if she'll ever have a chance to see her family again. She doesn't hate them, but she values her freedom far more than the bonds that used to keep all Aigard proud and bound to their rank and duties. And... if she looks at it a certain way, fighting off balespawn is a greater duty to them all than balancing books will ever be.

Because of this, Akudroth can focus his efforts where they're needed most: as a first responder to anyone who has been wounded in battle. Though Akudroth is currently the only member with his unique healing abilities, he has managed to develop a clear vocabulary to help train others in a more limited fashion to aid him. He and Egeze have been developing aims to marry the Crystal Court's ability to heal with any other attempts to bring a cease fire between the Bale Queen and the Aigard people. Akudroth often relies on Egeze for his strength, and looks to her for tempering his tendency to drive himself to burnout.
