== Appearance and Personality ==
Kaza is
Her condition has also caused her to lose familiarity with aspects of human behavior. When [[Droz]], a sailor on the ship, speaks to her, she has to consciously remind herself of reasons why someone might do such a thing, and ultimately scares him off. She speaks matter-of-factly about her condition and her ability to see into the [[Cognitive Realm]] and is confused about why other people find such discussions disturbing. The sailors of the ''First Dreams'' avoid looking her in the eyes.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}
She has an independent streak and has long felt controlled by the royal family; she makes her trip to [[Akinah]] in defiance of them and resents the way that they essentially imprisoned her to maintain control of the Soulcaster. She makes it clear to [[Vazrmeb|Captain Vazrmeb]] that she is helping him by choice, and that she is a person and not a thing to be used. Before dying, she chooses to transform herself into smoke as a final assertion of her control over her own destiny.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Kaza is intimately familiar with the use of a Soulcaster [[fabrial]] that can produce smoke. The Soulcaster has three large gemstones (presumably [[polestone#Smokestone|smokestones]]){{book ref|sa1|part=ars}} and is worn on her hand. She notes that her Soulcaster is the type that only has one "mode"; she can only Soulcast objects into smoke and she cannot return previously Soulcast objects to their original state. She began using the Soulcaster as a youth and continued using it throughout her life, becoming a [[savant]]. She does not wear the Soulcaster all the time, but she keeps it in a pouch on her person. She feels contentment when she puts it on.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}

===On the ''First Dreams''===
Captain [[Vazrmeb]] of the ''[[First Dreams]]'' somehow learned of Kaza's abilities and realized that she could help him on his quest to navigate to the ancient capital of [[Aimia]], the lost island city of [[Akinah]]. Kaza decided to work for him due to rumors among Soulcasters that Akinah might hold secrets regarding a cure for savanthood; her anger at the royal family also motivated her to leave. She somehow escaped confinement and joined the captain on his journey.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}
