== 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 and shortly after, she and Attica separated.
 
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{{book ref|a2|20}} and pursued Attica to the Library herself, claiming his [[Translator's Lenses]].
 
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. The Lenses were taken by Alcatraz, but she managed to retain possession of the book.
 
She was captured by the Mokians during the [[Siege of Mokia]]. She stayed there willingly until she left with Alcatraz, Leavenworth, [[Kazan Smedry|Kaz]], and [[Draulin]] for the [[Highbrary]]. There, she was knocked out by Attica.
