12 Black Feathers [Action]
[ It's early in the morning when it happens.
A small area of black appears near the fountain, just floating in the air. As the minutes pass, it slowly grows until it's about ten feet in diameter, even partially consuming the fountain. About ten minutes after it first appears, Saten fades into view in the very middle, appearing almost as if she's asleep. She floats there for about three seconds before abruptly dropping to the ground.
At that, she seems to wake up. She lifts her head after a moment and slowly looks around. It takes several more seconds before she slowly pulls herself to her feet.
She spends a while looking about her, but before too long the fountain catches her attention. Or in particular, the water in the fountain. When you've never seen anything before, fluid dynamics are absolutely fascinating. So despite the fact that everything non-living within a five foot radius of her turns pitch black, she spends the next several hours running her hand through and splashing at the water. After all, she can see it just fine.
She can be found in the vicinity of the fountain for pretty much the rest of the day and well into the night. Saten is more than content with just staying where she is and observing everything around her for a while. She may not be dressed like a New Feather, but she does seem to be acting a lot like one. ]

[ Because they don't look particularly different to her! ]
[Action]
[Action]
I just got here.
[ Which is basically the phrase she knows for "I was just born" ]
[Action]
[The Jackalope cloud shrinks and floats down to run a small circle around Saten's head]
You remember your name, yes?
[Action]
Of course. Why wouldn't I?
[ Because not every being is born the way you were, Saten, that's why. ]
[Action]
[That shift was painful. Literally.]
[Action]
[ After all she was born knowing hers so this is an entirely unfamiliar idea. ]

And stops, shutting her mouth and looking puzzled and at a loss for words.]
You know, dear...I don't think I can explain that with you being like this. Magic just...I guess it just is...part of who I am, and you, and everything around us.
Magic is life. Life is magic.
[Action]
It doesn't exactly work. ]
You're right. I don't think I get it at all.
[Action]
Sorry I am a dreadful tutor.
[She sounds truly apologetic.]
[Action]
[ Because why would anyone be upset over not being able to explain it otherwise? ]

[Action]
[And she has no idea how to beat them]
[Action]
[ She may not have any real idea how stupidly powerful she is right now, but there's still something in her that would love the challenge. ]

[The Malnosso have this annoying tendency to be...absent]
