I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's messed up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

Sehsat is a rather socially awkward girl. She'd much prefer to spend her time with her odd nose in a book or designing architecture for unique buildings than to socialize with other people. Even when she does find herself in social situations, the internal form of Seshat's thoughts, images, insights, and abstractions is a puzzle that's not readily explainable, and difficult to translate into a form that others will understand. Often times, she comes off as a slightly narcissistic know-it-all, interjecting random bits of information no one else knows, or correcting grammar. She spends a lot of time inside her own mind and expresses little interest in other people's thoughts or feelings.

To top it all off, Seshat places tremendous value on systems and organization. This is perhaps why she's far more comfortable in her own home, or the library, because she knows, understands, and even controls the system and organization. Nothing irritates her more than when someone disrupts her system. Books are organized by genre, then alphabetically, then by size, and if someone were to put one book in the wrong spot, Seshat wouldn't be able to continue or focus on anything until it had been corrected. Likewise, seeing dirty hands fondle the pristine pages of any of her books might just cause her to snap.


Shapeshift: Though she has the ability, Seshat doesn't shapeshift often... or at all. In all the years that she has lived, she has perhaps only shapeshifted twice, and both times she chose the form of a leopard.
Enhanced Reading: Seshat can read things at unrealistic speeds and still retain all the information that she has read.
Omnilingualism: Seshat has the ability to quickly and easily learn or decipher and interpret other languages so that she can read, write, speak, and understand them fluently.
Encyclopedic Knowledge: With all the books she has read, Seshat possesses a vast amount of information and knowledge on all things. She has innate encyclopedic knowledge of science, magic, psionics, literature, history, mathematics, technology, the universe, etc.
Inscription: Seshat can write down magical spells, symbols, or arrays and activate them to create various effects. For example, she can use a stick to write on the ground to deploy or deactivate traps, or etch into armor to make it indestructible by fire, or paint on a wall to create a doorway or portal.
