put your dreams away for now
I won't see you for some time
It was to everyone's surprise when one of the youngest orphans of House Seaborne was handpicked by Mother to be the next Gaze. Minnow was only 14; it was the first time she'd ever chosen someone so young and Minnow hadn't even wanted to go, had been in attendance at the choosing only because the older boys dragged him along. When the House asked if she was sure Mother insisted and so the next day Minnow moved to the capital Diadema to begin training. The lessons were intensive; he would need a lot of practice to properly connect with Mother and translate her prophecies into written word and total control took many years to achieve. Consequently Minnow grew up pretty isolated; he was around Mother and a few of the guards and little to no one else. When he finally had control of Bailia's lent abilities Minnow was already a little strange, always half out of focus and difficult to talk to. Even strangers will notice Minnow's weird disinterest in tuning in for a conversation for the whole duration of it. He's painfully shy and strange and Darling freaks him out even though she's been nothing but nice because she's just too nice and loud and overly friendly. She is convinced they should be friends but Minnow is not so enthused about it.
Minnow has a very handy way of disappearing in Diadema when he's uncomfortable which is astounding because he's over six feet tall, has startling long white hair, and prefers rainbow outfits. He usually stands in a way that minimizes his height and with his hands tucked away. His magic also always feels heavy, even when he's not actively casting anything, though he uses enormous and staggering magics very casually. He grew up with the extra firepower so he's very used to it; he performs feats that other people would be astounded by. Due to his training with Mother Minnow has a strange way of speaking, really even toned and monotone and with all words carefully and meticulously chosen. He never stutters even when he's anxious. He infrequently maintains friends because they exhaust him; he likes being quiet and alone and he loves to read whatever he can get his hands on. He's not very invested in the politics of Bailia which frustrate the rest of the government sometimes; he basically just shows up to share Mother's words and then sits quietly until he can leave.
