Name: Jayati Samar
Age: Appears in her early twenties, though she is actually around 160
Gender: Female
Role: Other
Powers: Jayati is an extremely powerful healer. She can heal both herself and others, though she heals herself automatically. This healing has stopped her from aging.
Appearance: Jayati is Indian, and is around 5'7". Her black hair goes to the small of her back, and she usually wears it in a low ponytail. She usually has a pencil behind one ear, and likes to keep up with artsy fashion trends.
Personality: Jayati acts somewhat scatterbrained, and keeps her store and home very messy. When the situation's important, she proves to have a fantastic memory; she can remember everything from her medical training and other important knowledge she's picked up over the years to the names of people she knew when she was 5. She acts very lively and impulsive.
She cares for people deeply, even people she's never met, and can't stand to see people in pain. She uses her constantly changing lifestyle to avoid dealing with the implications of her power: if she's always moving, she doesn't have to see the people she loves grow old or die. Likewise, she tends to lie to herself over the years, pretending that everyone is still around and she could call them up if she wanted to.
History: Jayati was born in 1848 in India. Her gift was evident from a young age, and people often went to her if they were sick or injured. She was respected in her home, rather than feared. When she was a young girl, however, the British began ruling India. This is what drew the seeker's attention to her, and she went to Avalon at age 15. She picked up a small amount of English, but had to learn most on the island.
She lived on Avalon for almost a hundred years before eventually making the decision to leave. She saw that there were other talented healers on the island and believed she could help more people if she moved back to the regular world- or at least, that was her justification. In reality, she couldn't face everyone else's mortality, and on such a secluded island, she had to confront this change every day. She felt boxed in on the island, like she was trapped in such a small place with death all around her.
Currently, she acts as a contact for seekers searching for gifteds in the outside world, and has even come across a gifted of her own once or twice. She moved around a lot before deciding on the United States, feeling out of place in the drastically different India but still secure in her decision to stay off Avalon.
She decided to study medicine officially in the 80's, so she could use her power more efficiently. After a few decades, however, she wanted a break from practiced medicine and decided to open up a shop in a random city. She lived off money she had accumulated earlier, and helped poorer residents who couldn't afford hospital care.
