Faina Jahiz

(Knight of Harbinger) THE ANIMALIS SENIOR Faina Jahiz is a senior scholar of the Verdantis Path, widely respected for her mastery of zoology, ecology, and creature behavior. From her earliest days at the Collegium Academia, she demonstrated an unusual sensitivity toward living beings, often calming restless animals before instructors even noticed a disturbance. Rather than approaching creatures as subjects to be classified, Faina treats them as living participants in the world’s balance, a philosophy deeply aligned with Verdantis teachings. During her third-year thesis, she astonished the Collegium by not only submitting a rigorous ecological study but also presenting a rare living creature, carefully cared for and peacefully cooperative. This act cemented her reputation as both a scholar and a tamer, capable of communication and understanding beyond conventional methods. Elite scribes and Verdantis mentors regard her as one of the Academy’s greatest assets, especially in matters involving conservation, habitat balance, and creature welfare. Despite her achievements, Faina remains humble, often assisting junior students and serving as a calming presence during field studies. Her work reinforces the belief that true knowledge of life comes from patience, respect, and coexistence rather than domination.
