Mist Wayshon, the Inventor

Mist is a human, with dark red hair, short, about only shoulder length, and often curled or in a braid. She has dark green eyes and is short. Mist is a descendant of a Sessak named Venture Wayshon. Being a descendant of a Sessak she was born with the possibility of being blessed with a Sessak gift. What no one realize is she doesn't only have one, but two of these gifts. One is the ability to read people's emotions, the other is to break other abilities.  
In a scene I wrote last year Lynn (who I'll talk more about later) said this to explain what happened with Mist, and what a breaker is: 
“Descendants of Sessak have the ability of being born with one Sessak ability, like reading minds or emotions. However, only one in a thousand have two abilities, and if they have two they tend to have more than just that. Mist is both an emotion reader and a breaker. A breaker is the rarest of all Sessak gifts. It makes it so that Mist can break through any barrier placed before her, especially Sessak barriers. Like the block which makes it so that no mind or emotion reader can read a Sessak unless they let you or they are a Sessak as well. Breakers can also temporarily make a Sessak ability useless.
“Mist has two abilities, which means she’s practically a Sessak without the immortality or the hair and skin.."
The second story focuses on Mist, though she shows up in the third book as well, I might take that out. Sessak who are rulers of the Western World, where Mist is from, look down on women, often discrediting them and even at times have been known to say they can't think. 
Mist manages to overthrow the Sessak Council, but at a cost... which I can't tell you all because of spoilers. MWHAHAHAHAHAHA.... yeah.
Anyways, as the title suggests, Mist is an inventor, her inventions eventually lead to airplanes, common use of electricity and all the big inventions in out world. Instead of being made by many small inventors, they're all created by this woman, one big sweep.
Though she was involved very deeply in the down fall of the Sessak Council she never wanted to be a revolutionary, but was forced into it when the Council decided because of her wanting to become an inventor that she was too much of a threat to keep alive.
She's rather important, that's why I'm spending a whole post on her, but I really don't have much more to say on her, and probably won't until I start working on book two again, which probably won't be until next January at the earliest.
