Personality: She is very reclusive, she hates it when people find out what her powers are and then try to get her to tell their futures like a common gypsy.. but mostly she hates it when she does try..and she sees nothing..She doesnt want to be the one to tell them that their years alive are number..for when she cannot see anything ...they are no longer among the living.
History: Fleta was born into a relatively poor family. She never had much, but she was content to be with the people she loved. She spent her days helping her mom take care of her little brother and playing with taro cards. She had a morbid fascination with them. She saw the first pack in a market that was run by traveling gypsies. The woman that sold them to her said, "Ahh..one that will truly be able to use the cards." When Fleta asked her what she meant by it, the woman merely shook her head and smiled. She used the cards everyday, trying to read them like someone practiced with them could. One day she walked into the room crying, for she had seen something for the first time... Her..standing in front of a casket. One that belonged to her little brother. She could not repress the tears, the image had been so clear..she had actually been able to reach out and touch the cold clammy skin of her deceased brother. She looked down, and there was her brother playing with her cards on the living room floor. He knew that she always got upset when he messed with them, for he usually bent the cards. He jumped up quickly and started to apologize when Fleta grabbed him up and hugged him feircely. He was confused and asked what had gotten into her, but she just said, "Nothing.." She was so happy to see him.. She thought about it contemplatively later that day. She tried to recall the details but they tried to elude her. She finally realized what had seemed wrong in the vision..her brother..who was now 6..was in his early teens when he died. She tried to tell her parents that Greg..her brother, would soon die. Horrified at the prediction that they didnt believe in, they screamed at her for the thought. They didnt believe her. On throughout her years, the visions grew longer, until she seemed in a daze, and became more frequent. She kept trying to warn her parents, but they responded by kicking her out of their home. Despondent and depressed she moved on to try to find a place that would accept her...and her unearthly power.
