Resting Room Location: Though she had initially fallen asleep in her room in Heliopolis where the new arrivals are usually kept, Jade was eventually moved into Old Springstar, in a basement-level room at one of the orphanages that she had been helping prior to her long sleep.
Description: Due to having arrived just shortly before the Repose, not much was known about Jade. Most didn't even know her name as she hadn't given it freely, almost as though she didn't want to be remembered for any good deeds done in the wake of a widespread tragedy. A few only recalled in passing the title "the Prophetess", which stuck over the following years.
What small impact she had made on Kenos lay with the orphans she had helped with Yuri. As such, she had been transported from her room in Heliopolis where she would have more likely been neglected, and into one of the rooms of an orphanage in Springstar. There, she was cared for by the staff, as well as the older children that came and went.
After several decades, however, the strain of her long sleep had started taking a toll on the Prophetess' physical body, and she started exhibiting symptoms of Arcane Fever. Seeing as how no one understood the nature of this condition, they simply viewed it as an omen... and given the eerie skeletal glow that now patterned her skin, the implications became unsettling ones.
By the time she wakes, the Fever will have reached advanced stages; her skin glowing brightly in the shadows of the darkly lit Resting Room where she is kept, surrounded by withered flowers.
Purpose: As the Prophetess was known for her assistance at the orphanage, she became known as something of a guardian for foundling children. Not because she had simply provided them with supplies when Yuri had first brought her there, but because, not long before the Repose, she had briefly returned to the orphanages to establish magical wards in order to protect them from future attacks. These wards had proven useful in the following years, as they had repelled attempts at burglarizing and looting during incidents such as the Uplifting, which had consequentially left the orphanage behind in Old Springstar.
Fortunately, there was minimal cult behavior surrounding the Prophetess' place of rest, and her presence brought comfort to those in the orphanage for some time. Not fully understanding the magical wards, some believed that her presence was necessary for their continued protection.
Even the most skilled in healing could not cure or contain what ailed the sleeping Prophetess. When her Arcane Fever only worsened, her visitors would leave flowers, medicine, and other home remedies they believed would reduce the symptoms... but to no avail.
Caretaker(s): The staff and children of the orphanage where she is kept. As the symptoms of the Arcane Fever worsened over the years and began to trouble most of its inhabitants, those whom the Prophetess had helped and their descendants were a bit more dutiful about returning to the Resting Room below the orphanage to tend to her sleeping form. It was mainly those descendants who returned to tend to her growing hair, and offer her fresh flowers and herbs in hopes of somehow figuring out a way to alleviate her malady.
