Magic:

1. Lanka has the voice of an angel ( so to speak) can evoke any emotion with her songs that she wants. She can make people laugh, or cry, or feel joy. This is beyond the control of the listener and they are moved solely by her voice. Most agree this is a magic talent. Her voice is hypnotizing and when she sings it is impossible to pay attention to anything else.

2. Resistant to magic. Resistant to healing in particular, but also inscutable to deep sensers like her brother. No one knows how it is that these things don't work on her.

Mundane Skills:

None, she is unable to do most of the simplest things. Dressing herself is a great skill, taking a bath, etc. Can hear a song once and then repeat it with perfect accuracy time and again. Has perfect pitch an an unusually wide range.

History:

Lanka's mother was a minor healer and herbalist. After Midhei took over she devoted most of her life to her herbalism and chemistry. This came with a price though and she bacame addicted to a number of her own creations. To Sidra's surprise she recognized her lifemate a second time, but two years is a long time with out drugs, and the psychological addiction proved too much for her. Lanka was born retarded and Sidra killed herself when she was 5 years old. Lamka was raised by her father and various servants (and or relatives). Rimmon tried repeatedly to have his daughter healed but to no avail. It turned out that magic doesn't work on her at all. This can be a double edged sword as when wounded she has to heal the old fashioned way. Some think she may have some healing talent of her own as she is rarely sick and that perhaps it is this minor healing that negates the attempts to heal her. But it has never been proven. Progressed to about a five or six  year old childs ability. Can eat, dress herself, and bath herself but has to be watched carefully or she wanders off and get into trouble. Her singing talent mainfested when she was 16. It has proved popular at parties and such. She is much requested for social gatherings large and small. About 700 years ago her father was killed. No one knows by whom or why, some suspect Lanka's brother Vashni but nothing has ever come to light to lend credence to such suspicions. But with her father's death her care fell to her brother and he uses her as a bargaining chip, bartering her skills for favors.

Personality:

Lanka has very little evident personality. She never speaks, doesn't make eye contact, never sends, and in general is very unresponsive to outside stimuli. Something of a living music box. Treated as a posession by her rather contemptuous brother. Does gravitate to things she likes though, spends hours in the gardens and on the balconies. Likes to watch birds, infact birds and singing are the only things to hold her attention for very long. Sings under her breath at times, seems to do this unconciously. Doesn't react to anything. Not even violence, one can hit her and still she makes no reaction. Considered an idiot savant. No one knows her soulname or if she has one. Seems to enjoy singing but shows no emotion. If hungery she'll sit at a table usually rocking back and forth until someone feeds her. Tends to shovel her food, but never seems to get any on herself. Uncannily graceful despite her imparements. Has never been known to laugh or cry, or show any emotion. Doesn't seem to know what is going on. Looked after well by servants. When performing someone will help her into fancy cloths, jewelry and do her hair. Almost a living doll. Stares into space for long periods of time. Sometimes perfectly still, other times she'll rock back and forth. Seems to know when commanded to sing and what to sing. If she recieves sendings she makes no sign of it.
