Ravafea "Antu" Skydancer

Ravafea Antu Skydancer is the prominent alias of a female presumed-operative operating in Ealdwic, London. She was first reported by Templar agents under the alias 'Arianna Zu' in August 2013. Shortly after she appeared to another Templar agent under the alias 'Bekah Young.' Skydancer's report of her origin confirms that she and Zu are the same person. A third alias dubbed "Esperanza" appeared in September 2012, after which time the individual did not surface again until June 2013. Since June 2013, she has appeared openly as Antu Skydancer.

=Prior History= There are no known birth or education records for. Until June 2013, all that was known of her were the reports filed with the Templar society by Izumi "Goldpen" Kotone-Marsh, Katja "Incendia" Holm, and Athanasios "Didaskalos" Vasiliou in August and early September of 2012. Further research indicates a possible third alias referred to as "Esperanza" may have interacted with Conlan "Kotts" Sinclaire and Lori "Loribee" Brown, also of the Templar faction.

Arianna Zu
"'This pink-haired woman—as if that were not odd enough, but this is London after all—called herself Arianna Zu. She apparently claims to have been found on a boat or some such, has traveled across Asia and Europe yet has difficulty telling apart Sweden, Switzerland, and Poland—almost certainly an American then—and most annoyingly wanted my girlfriend!' &mdash; Athanasios Vasiliou"

During the evening and early morning of 10 August 2012, a woman calling herself "Arianna Zu" approached Katja Holm in the Horned God in Ealdwic, London. The woman was described as being dark-skinned, having pink hair, and wearing a green trenchcoat. During the conversation she ascertained Holm's origin and may have attempted to steal her cellphone.

When asked about her origins, Zu claimed to have been found on a boat in the South China Sea with no memory of a name or origin. She claimed to have traveled across Asia and Europe until arriving in London. Despite this, she seemed to have difficulty differentiating Sweden, Switzerland, and Poland&mdash;asking Holm if she was from the French or German part of Sweden, offering the question "Ist ihre Tochter achtzehn?" as a sample of the Swedish she knew, and confusing Warsaw as a place in Sweden.

Holm identified Zu's accent as American, generally favoring the South, but having aspects of "Valley girl" (offered by Vasiliou based on Holm's description) and something generic.

Bekah Young
"'Pink haired woman approached me in the HG. Too much of a quick tongue to be as stupid as she pretends to be. Watch your drinks, pockets and confessions. For future reference, I told her my name was Max. That chick needs to practice her conversational skills.' &mdash; Izumi Kotone-Marsh"

Within days of the Arianna Zu incident, Kotone-Marsh encountered a pink-haired woman calling herself "Bekah Young" in the Horned God. Kotone-Marsh had been alerted to be on the lookout for Zu, and thus did not divulge any information to Young, giving only the alias "Max." Kotone-Marsh made a recording of the woman's voice. Young spoke with a cockney accent and claimed to be from Darkside.

Dolores Womble
In early September 2012, a pink-haired woman matching the same description as Zu/Young observed Kotone-Marsh and Sinclaire at Moca Loco in Ealdwic, London. The woman did not approach the pair, but appeared to make a phone call while watching them. During this call, she was observed to speak Spanish. Following her phone call, she sat outside the cafe, seeming to watch the crowd listening to the Fallen King, when Kotone-Marsh and Sinclaire confronted her.

The woman denied being either Zu or Young, calling herself Dolores Womble and speaking with a strong US Southern accent. After being berated by Kotone-Marsh, Womble departed, saying, "Bless your heart, bitch."

'Esperanza'
"'Somehow, se&ntilde;or, I do not think you have found that a problem?' &mdash; 'Esperanza'"

A fourth alias has come to light since the appearance of Antu Skydancer on Twitter. The woman, who appeared as the proprietor of an establishment in Ealdwic she referred to as the "Nine Stories Lounge," spoke with a Castilian accent and wore rose-tinted spectacles and a scarlet bandana, presumably to mask her hair color from the hostilities of Kotone-Marsh. Her clients never asked her name, so we have assigned the codename "Esperanza" in accordance with her apparent pattern of using names beginning with sequential letters of the alphabet (i.e., Arianna, Bekah, (Unknown alias), Dolores).

Esperanza served four members&mdash;at that time&mdash;of the Nine Swords cabal: Kotone-Marsh, Sinclaire, Holm, and Lori Brown. Clients were told to tell stories in exchange for free drinks, hookahs, and cigars, as well as for a personal coin reward. The purpose of the coin was neither asked nor explained.

During the evening, Holm referred to Kotone-Marsh as "Izumi" on at least one occasion, and Sinclaire spoke openly of being with the Templars.

Antu Skydancer
 Good morning, world. What stories shall we tell today? &mdash; Antu Skydancer (@AntuSkydancer) June 14, 2013

The woman would appear again in June 2013 via social media as @AntuSkydancer on Twitter. She quickly followed a number of known and suspected agents in Ealdwic. Analysts suspect she used Gridstream Productions, RadioFreeGaia, and the Horned God as the bases of her network. Known personal connections are Janna Najmanka, Alexander "Arcadius" Williams, Phillipa Graeling, Chie Williams, Hanako Tana, Laura Drider, Tyrell "Tybonicus" Hughes. She has been seen in public with Najmanka, Graeling, Chie Williams, Tana, and Hughes.

Skydancer's Twitter persona is flirtatious with both males and females. She claims her primary interest is in stories and "truth in storytelling," the idea that even in a false story truth may be gleaned about the storyteller. Skydancer is very proactive at setting up in-person meetings and seeking people's stories. It is unknown how much information she has gleaned about the societies through these meetings or what her purpose is.

When asked of her origins, Skydancer repeated Zu's story concerning the South China Sea, although she did not make any claims about European or Asian geography or ethnography. She claims to have no memory of her life prior to this incident except for names, songs, stories, and dances from "many places and many periods of history." It must be noted that there is no record of this incident taking place.

=Appearance= I don't really care who I was or where I'm from: who and where I am now are too interesting. I do recall many stories from many different places and periods of history. Sometimes I was a warrior; always I was a dancer, singer, and storyteller. And always, there have been the ducks. &mdash; Antu Skydancer

Skydancer is attractive with striking bright green eyes. At first glance she appears to be in her early twenties, but she possesses a maturity that suggests her age may be closer to thirty. Recently this impression has become more obvious, to the extent that her maturity almost seems to be severity. Her hair is always pink/purple, although it can seem black or even silver at times.

She is of slightly below average height, but has an athletic build most noticeable in her legs and abdominal area due to her active dance lifestyle. She is a very experienced dancer and onlookers have noted her agility and grace on the dance floor, whether dancing solo or with a partner. Despite her frequent and skilled dance, her feet are well-manicured.

Skydancer has multiple ear piercings as well as a pierced left nostril and navel. Additionally, she is always wearing various items of jewelry: earrings, nose rings or studs, necklaces, navel rings and belly chains (when wearing clothing that exposes her midriff), bracelets, rings, anklets, and toe rings. Those who can sense or detect divine magic will recognize that these are a source of some of her divine magic, but not even the majority.

She carries a mobile phone and a journal with rubber ducks on the cover, and she has often been seen 'people-watching' outside of Moca Loco and in Ealdwic Park while journaling. Her ringtone is the chorus from Darling Violetta's "Awesome."

=Personality= I vaguely recall being called 'Ravafea' and the ducks call me 'Antu', so I saw no reason to argue. &mdash; Antu Skydancer

Her personality has varied depending on the persona she assumed. As Arianna Zu, she tended to being both chatty and ditzy, frequently making errors on simple geography and ethnography; as Bekah Young, she utilized a cockney accent and idioms while playing a more street-savvy role; as Dolores Womble, she spoke fluent Spanish with an apparent Latin American accent, but spoke her English as a demure Southern Belle, including utilizing such colloquialisms as "hon" and "bless your heart"; and as "Esperanza," she spoke English with a Castilian accent, using occasional Spanish words such as "se&ntilde;or" and "se&ntilde;orita."

Antu Skydancer speaks with a London accent but makes heavy use of American idioms such as 'no worries', 'I'm totally', and 'hon.' The Skydancer persona is extremely flirtatious, friendly, and seemingly caring, while possessing a quirky if dark sense of humor. It should be noted that, with the exception of the attempted pickpocketing of Holm by Zu and the snap at Kotone-Marsh, this flirtatious and friendly persona seems to be consistent among all her aliases.

While the "Esperanza" persona did not use enough Spanish to prove or even posit an origin, Dolores Womble was observed to use significant Latin American Spanish. It is assumed that she has a working knowledge of the language. She may also know some amount of German, although this is more difficult to determine as her only observed usage was when she claimed to be attempting Swedish.

The ducks are a mystery at this time. Skydancer refers to "the ducks" as though she can communicate with them. When asked about this, she simply points at her mobile phone cover as though it is the most natural thing in the world. No agent has yet pressed for further information.

=Abilities= Skydancer has never been observed in combat. While dancing and storytelling at the Horned God on 19 June 2013, she was observed augmenting her voice so that it could be heard clearly on both floors of the building above the music. In an incident detailed by the Twitter account belonging to Hanako Tana, Skydancer may have used augmented singing to assist in rescuing Chie Williams from a trance. Later, she was observed projecting her physical presence at Tyrell Hughes. It is not known if these abilities are anima manipulations.
