Unit Design Winner: Circe

Job: Oracle

Born in Mysidia, Circe's magic ability manifested in the form of premonitions that would always come true. Despite her best efforts, she was ostracized and considered a walking omen of bad luck, which led her to leave her homeland and travel the world, doing her best to assist people in need using her skill. Eventually, Circe would find a measure of happiness as a fortune teller in a distant land, but after accidentally foretelling the death of an important emperor, she was executed by the country's military. It is very probable she was able to predict her own death, as the report denotes she remained calm and composed until the last moment.
