History
Backround, the Janis tribe
The Janis were a nomadic Fourth Age tribe that was very shamanistic in religion. Simply put, the Janis were barbarian-like in culture, as they wore furs, raided the surrounding lands or tribes, and their mounts, horses, were a center of their culture. It is worthy to note that the Janis were a matriarchal society; women presided over leading the tribe and men would fight for it. Most in the tribe were warriors or archers, as they believed magic was reserved for the "gods" who walked the realm. They were thought to have sent themselves down into the plane to be born again to protect the tribe against evil and help it prosper.
This meant that they were demigods - half god, half human, who for the time they lived, would live the tribe with their godly powers until they died and were born again. In reality, these supposed demigods were actually Seers, born with inherent magical ability. Their powers of foretelling the future and their great magical competence made them powerful individuals who led the tribe without question.
As seerism is an inherited trait, an elite "god" hierarchy developed in the tribe and a long line of seers born from a single chieftain would sometimes exist. The children of such a chiefess would often have to wait until the greater god died for them to assume her position. If there was ever more than one adult seer, the position of tribal chief was dissolved for a time and the governing body was made up of a "gods" council. This council was only ever dissolved when there was only one adult seer.
Birth and adolescence
Carida was born into the Janis tribe, the daughter of a particularly powerful chieftain. Carida was the only child out of four others who had the ability of seerism and was thus raised from an early age to assume her mother's role. A long ways of tradition had been created over time about how to harness the power of a seer and hone it. It was a long and drawn out process, but her ability to divine the will of the spiritual gods would be more than enough to lead the tribe.
It started out with enchanted toys, which the young Carida learned to wield. With age, her ways of training expanded and grew. She moved on to Runestones, slamming them together to see the outcome. Crystal balls and puddles of water turned into scrying pools helped her abilities as a seer.
Carida progressed into her adolescence as a prodigy, whose abilities though unrefined, could be clearly sharpened to even greater than that of her mother's. She was remarked as a kind girl who fought hardly for anything she believed in and fought back just as hard for things she was against.
