== Attributes and Abilities == |
|||
Shasta has the Smedry Talent of losing things by virtue of her marriage to Attica,{{book ref|a2|12}} although she isn't able to control it very well. Nevertheless, she manages to use her Talent to great effect at least once. |
|||
Shasta also demonstrates considerable skill at sleight of hand on multiple occasions.{{book ref|a1|3}}{{book ref|a3|20}}{{book ref|a5|16}} She is very intelligent and excellent at turning situations to her advantage, thinking on her feet, and commanding authority. |
|||
== History == |
|||
Shasta married Attica Smedry, despite the objections of Attica's father [[Leavenworth Smedry|Leavenworth]], who believed she was only manipulating Attica to get his Talent. Together, Attica and Shasta researched the origins of Smedry Talents and the Sands of Rashid. Shasta gave birth to Alcatraz in Nalhalla and shortly after, she and Attica separated.{{book ref|a1|20}} |
|||
After Alcatraz's birth, Shasta left with him for the [[Hushlands]] and acted as his caseworker, Ms. Fletcher, keeping her true identity secret from him. On his thirteenth birthday, she arrived to steal the [[Sands of Rashid]], which had arrived for him earlier that day.{{book ref|a1|2}}{{book ref|a1|3}} A few months later, she found out through an unknown means that Attica had gone to the Library of Alexandria. Shasta notified Leavenworth and pursued Attica to the Library herself, claiming his [[Translator's Lenses]].{{book ref|a2|20}} |
|||
⚫ | While working undercover as Ms. Fletcher, Alcatraz's caseworker, she displayed a very unpleasant personality, often criticizing Alcatraz and pointing out what a terrible person he is. Her attitude forward Alcatraz changes however during the events of Siege of Mokia, when they have a discussion like two equals. While interacting with other Librarians, she is concrete and businesslike. |
||
Shasta brought the Lenses to [[Nalhalla]], where she plotted to steal a book from the Nalhallan [[Royal Archives (Not a Library!)]] using Transporter's Glass.{{book ref|a3|19}} The Lenses were taken by Alcatraz, but she managed to retain possession of the book, which she later burned.{{book ref|a4|NCC-1701}} She was captured by the Mokians during the [[Siege of Mokia]],{{book ref|a4|6.022140857x10^23}} and stayed there willingly until she left with Alcatraz, Leavenworth, [[Kazan Smedry|Kaz]], and [[Draulin]] for the [[Highbrary]].{{book ref|a4|∞ + 1}} There, she was knocked out by Attica. |

Her first name is likely a reference to [[wikipedia:Mount_Shasta|Mount Shasta]] in California. The name Fletcher is likely a reference to [[wikipedia:Fletcher_Mountain|Fletcher Mountain]] in the Rocky Mountains. |
