Michelle the Telekinetic: Female, age 22. Also known as Michelle Monaghan in KDNF, a Cypher with the gift of telekinesis and the current leader of the Cyphers. She had the power since birth, and while the people around her were first fascinated by it they all eventually turned away from her, even her own parents. She began wandering on her own, slowly losing trust in people as anyone who approached her never cared for her and only desired to use her. One day she came to know about Verderia and the other Cyphers, and she was finally able to find a home for herself amongst them.
As a talented Cypher she quickly gained their trust and became their leader. A kind person at heart, she only seems cold due to the distrust she gained from the difficulties she and the other Cyphers have had. After meeting the adventurers during the events of Delezie's metastasis in North Myre, she made several more appearances in the story during Mirror Arad, Elrox and Exile Mountains.
The Cyphers (or Cypers in KDNF): A group of gifted people with extraordinary powers such as telekinesis or insect manipulation. Due to rejection and discrimination they've hidden themselves away in Verderia, their powers a tool of their self defense. It is unclear how a Cypher is born as their powers are not acquired like magic. It is in fact often the case that a Cypher child is born from regular parents, eventually to be abandoned for this very reason. Some have moved to the back alleys of Hendon Myre, keeping their identities hidden and maintaining contact with outsiders.
