Personality
Joan is a strange warden. Having been born with the echo but knowing nothing about it, she tends to stare off into space a lot. Her eyes avoid any sort of contact with others. Not only that but Joan tends to avoid talking with folks too. Due to this, the veena is not as charismatic. She doesn't approach others unless approached first.Awkward beyond all reason, Joan also has a special interest in animals of the star. When the woman was younger, she'd pickup wild animals and ask to keep them. The respect that she has for life is impeccable.Of course, due to the echo she can envision events of many years past. The catch is that she can only experience one sense during any given flashback. Joan is constantly plagued with visions otherwise.

History
childhood . born to a forgotten mother, Joan doesn't remember much of her childhood. its something she'd rather forget, honestly.the first memories of Joan were her village. a quaint home with a few other veena around. it wasn't much, but being born with the echo wasn't ideal. she insisted that her visions allowed her to see past Viera, Vakra, and Maara. the issue being she could only experience them with one sense. due to this, they thought her to be female. especially since she was born during the early hours of morning.as a child, Joan often wore a Wtyo, or a wood-warder's doll, around her neck. this was due to her habits becoming dangerous to others. from crying out to the Maara to stop feeling cold in the middle of summer, to breaking Vakra to stop their noises from disturbing her ears.not only that, but Joan spoke with with departed spirits as if they were real. of course, these visions were just that, visions. one day she'd be seeing her people die of plague, the next Joan was smelling a rotting carcass that was killed years ago.when she came of age, it only got worse.
adolescence . when she presented as a male, Joan was assigned to be a wood-warder.the environment was harsh. from being sheltered in a well protected camp to facing the ire the woods had to offer, Joan didn't take to it well. still, she persisted despite the difficulties.she took advantage of her curse. when she smelled danger, the veena would check for lingering tracks to see if it was recent. when she gained a vision from the past of a fellow apprentice dying, she'd take notes to prevent meeting the same fate.during a particularly harsh winter, Joan got separated from her mentor during an avalanche. she dug herself out of the drift using her bare hands. her mentor didn't make it through in time. thus, she was alone in the wilderness with little idea of where she was.she buried him in the earth and stuck her Wtyo in the shallow grave. shortly after, Joan traveled to the nearest settlement of Dalmasca. this was where she was given a choice. remain as a wood warder or take on a new name and agenda. she went with the latter with little deliberation.
, adulthood . working in a city setting was as hard as when she first started training. being free of her clan was one thing, but not having the support any longer was another.she made coin in bodyguard services. protecting those who needed protecting. that and giving survival lessons. it wasn't much coin, but it was fine.her skills made it clear she could capture animals without much effort though. so when she was approached about capturing animals for the pet trade, she happily accepted. she was charged with making sure they wouldn't escape and transporting.during one voyage, she found herself delivering to New Sharlayan for the new exodus of scientists from the old island. she opted to stay, even despite the colony starting to fail.
