Biography

Married to Jaran, both were famous fighters in their youth. They have two children: a daughter Kelsa, whom they are very proud of, and a son Lindon, whom they have mixed feeling about. In the Wei clan it is up to the parents to teach their children how to read. She teaches her children both the common script and the ancient characters. Additionally, she allows her son to work with her as a Soulsmith due to his pure madra, and she teaches him basic scripting.

Relationship to her son: after his first time in the spiritual origin test, he is declared to be Unsouled, when he asks why she states, “Because the heavens wish to shame us.” Until he earns a badge, he will continue bringing shame to his family and clan. When he is tested a second time, she provides him with a drop of her own blood.  Seisha teaches her son the basics of scripting, so when he goes to the test a third time, he scratches ruins into the table to make the bowl shake, this does not work.

She discovers that an Ancestral Orus tree is about to advance. She shows her son the correct script to use, which will light up if he finds the correct tree and sends him into the forest to find it. When he returns the fruit and remnant fruit, she is able to combine them into a powerful spirit fruit. However, she is embarrassed when he asks if either of his parents will advance to Jade. When his arm is broken by the remnant in the ancestral orus tree, she makes him a scripted sling that will remove pain and speed the recovery. She also made Lindon’s bed from purchased cloud madra, even the patriarch does not sleep in a better bed than her children. She spends months making a pack for him; however it is destroyed when Lindon advances to iron. Lindon believes that his mother would be proud that it helped him advance.

During the Seven-Year festival, she is put in charge of the arena. Responsible for the decorations and is expecting a reward for her services from the patriarch. When she catches her son cheating by placing remnants under the stage, she tells him that she is proud of him.

Shortly after Lindon leaves Sacred Valley, the Heavens Glory school decides that he must have returned to the Wei clan. When they approach her to question her, she fights them.
