Subject: '''Knight, Ayleesha; Initiate

This new one is a gem, Richard. Her Anima awoke, at my best guess, and you know how fond I am of guessing, about 4-5 weeks ago. Her control is severely lacking, especially when she’s nervous; I had to take her down into the bunker to perform a proper physical exam on her. When she loses control she upsets all electrical and electronic equipment around her. If I didn’t know any better I would suggest she was emitting EMP pulses. For now I would recommend she be kept as far away from the Archives as possible. Once she learns some rudimentary control, she should be allowed to access one of the terminals in the bunker, but I would strongly suggest she be kept away from the Archives until she has learned proper control. Physically she’s perfectly normal, except her white hair. She claims her hair started coming out white about four weeks ago, which, I am ashamed to admit, is what makes me say her Anima awoke around that time. She claims to have never been sick except when eating something that disagreed with her; her medical records from London Bridge Hospital confirms this insofar as she has apparently never seen her doctor, excepting vaccinations, since she was 4. Even though she is healthy, I would advise her training, if any, starts slowly; she is not in good physical shape. Regarding her hair, I would have Dr Serali have a look at her; I can find no medicinal or physical cause for it. The initiate is of sound mental health, though she appears slightly socially inept. IQ test scores lands her around 110. She is lacking in knowledge, even of current mundane world affairs. She says that it feels as if she has been sleeping until now, that she has never had any ambitions. Contrary to this, though, she exhibits great curiosity, and she appears to be a fast learner. My preliminary recommendation is to start careful training. Initial responses indicate she would be an asset in Archives or Research, on the condition that she learns proper control.

To: '''Mr Richard Sonnac From: '''Brigadier Lethe Subject: '''Knight, Ayleesha; Initiate

This is some trainee you’ve sent me, Sonnac. She’s in terrible physical shape; eager, but inept. I’ve already had to send her to Dr Johnsson twice to patch her up. Nothing serious, but I do not know if she’ll ever be a field asset. Her Anima control is improving, so there is some good news. I’ll assign her to Jacquelyn and Jonas for now. Jacquelyn might be gentle enough to teach her how not to kill herself and Jonas might be able to rile her up enough to attack properly. For now I will support Dr. Johnsson’s recommendation of Archives.

To: '''Mr Richard Sonnac From: '''Professor Anita Hässel Subject: '''Knight, Ayleesha; Initiate

This one’s promising, Richard. She knows absolutely nothing, but how she learns! She already has a grasp of basic Latin and Anglo-Saxon, enough for me to start her on the history of the order. She seems very eager to learn, and I would request that you tell the Brigadier to go easy on her; this one’s for the Archives, I can feel it!

To: '''Mr Richard Sonnac From: '''Dr Marie Serali Subject: '''Knight, Ayleesha; Initiate

Unknown cause of lack of pigmentation in hair. Appears to be total. Initiate has basic intuitive grasp of Blood, will focus training.

To: '''Brigadier Lethe From: '''Dr Jeremiah Johnsson Subject: '''Knight, Ayleesha; Initiate

When I stated the Initiate was of sound mental health, it was not a challenge for you to break her. I have sedated her now, but it is still too early to determine if any lasting damage has been done. She will stay under my observation for at least 24 hours. J. Arden will recover fully. I will recommend light duty for at least four days, with check-ups every two days for the next two weeks.

<p style="text-indent: 30px">I will take personal control over the Initiate’s training for the time being. Starting tomorrow I will start anew on her Anima control training. Following that I’ll work her trough what I know of blades; it seems her weapon control improved as soon as she held a sword. Dr Johnsson says that Jonas will be back on light duty in three to four days. The trainee is feisty when riled.

To: '''Mr Richard Sonnac From: '''Dr Marie Serali Subject: '''Re: Knight, Ayleesha; Initiate

<p style="text-indent: 30px">I don’t know what Lethe did to her, but when she finally came back to class her control has improved significantly.
