HEHE HIIII oh my god! olyzas' fiesty nanna, my very favorite piece of olyzas lore

olyzas grew up deep in the mountains of the shard of the third's steppe. a mirror in most cases, but only saying this to point out there was no outside knowledge of what hydaelyn's blessing- the echo- was. when olyzas as a child started having dreams and visions of falling stars and the moon falling, it was perceived by their people as a spiritual blessing, and was thrust into becoming the prophet leader of their tribe.

olyzas' grandparents were deeply respected members of that community, and more deep in it's social rings than olyzas' only other family, their father- who retired as a horseman to spearfishing on the fringes and rivers of their society once olyzas was born. for that and because of that olyzas' grandparents plucked them out of that life and into becoming the dalamiq's centerpiece and confidant. the most important figure in this snatching olyzas' into a different life and out of (what she would probably describe) as potential disaster without her help was, the Nanna

olyzas' nanna is a small, shrewd, traditional ma'm who knows everything and knows how to tell people how to do everything. a frequent sight: nanna, with a small olyzas behind her legs and tail. the turn-around and bend down to tap up a quivery chin. you know this kind of grandma she's a hard love and tough to decipher. in writing, olyzas has spoken of her as, 'she spoke in the language of worry,' with an endeared sort of jeer, but simultaneously is concerned they'll invoke her spirit's wrath over very little things. olyzas was extremely well-loved (and fussed over) by their nanna. another, more infrequent sight: olyzas, older and grown into being a prophet and leader, taking out time to walk in linked arms with their nanna through the taller grass.
