Jiza Gernoff

Jiza is a highly observant and calculating individual who often hides her true emotions unless she decides otherwise. Lith notes that she shares a similar temperament with Jirni Ernas, as both appear harmless due to their builds but are incredibly dangerous. She values mutual trust and loyalty in relationships but remains suspicious of potential schemers. She is pragmatic and highly professional when dealing with Council matters.

Jiza appears to be in her early 40s due to the effects of Awakening, despite her actual age being much older. She has shoulder-length blonde hair with distinct brown streaks and light blue eyes. She is typically seen wearing an ample mage robe. Her physical build is noted to be deceptively small considering the immense power she hides.

Jiza initially tasked her great-great-niece Cylla and two suitors to fetch Lith, intending for them to gain experience, but the plan backfired when Lith overpowered them, necessitating her intervention. Following this, she acted as Lith's secondary defense counsel to help him join the Council. After the assassination of Count Lark and Marchioness Mirim Distar, she assigned Cylla to assist Jirni Ernas. As threats from a mysterious Balkor copycat escalated, Jiza collaborated with Faluel and others to develop defensive measures. She consistently advocates for Lith's inclusion in the Council based on his combat proficiency and innovative crafting.
