Fiction:Sali

Of all the Ventals, Sali is considered the strangest. She works and behaves in a way that is noticeably different from other Ventals, and she often makes choices others wouldn't. Despite being one of the Firstborn, Sali has little influence over the Ventals Empire as a whole, but does lead a small following.

Abilities
Sali may be considered strange, but no one has better control over essence then she does. Her shadow abilities are immense, so much so that some think she is THE firstborn, though no one can be sure. She can walk on shadows, use them as portals to another dimension, from which she can travel across the entire universe in an instant. Sali can also use shadows to trap others in that alternate dimension, where they are effectively at her mercy.

Besides the shadow based abilities, she can also shift her form allowing her to create various weapons and vehicles out of herself. Sali is unique in that she can complete split in two. Literally. Sali can create copies of herself, copies that are interlinked, when one "dies" or is released all the gathered info is sent to the other copies. She calls them "Shadow Selves". They allow her to be in many places at once.

Weapons
Sali used essence as a weapon, trapping people in an alternate dimension that is made of shadows. She can also create weapons on her body and take up other forms, as well as have many selves. This means she can, affectively, be a one girl army.

Personality
Sali's personality is a quite, antisocial personality. She generally minds her own business, has no children or family besides the other Firstborn, and doesn't do much beyond teaching her Shadow Guides how to wield and control shadows in the manner she does. Besides that, she doesn't actually do much nor affect the Ventals Empire much in any manner.

However, Sali does care greatly for her people, and has shown in the past that she can be a caring and kind individual, with a hard iron like streak in her. She also has a good head for leadership, and generally gets her way.

Past
Sali is a Firstborn, and shares their past.
