Description
A seasoned gelfling widow who hails from the spritton clan; an astronomer, an herbalist, and an explorer. She wanders the vast land of thra, though frequenting the crystal sands. She is known there to be the 'wandering witch of the sands'.

My headcanon voice for her would be Emily Blunt, and I find the song "Open up your eyes" from the mlp movie fits Or'ja's character pretty well

Once a quiet farm girl amongst the Spritton clan, Or´ja soon came to fall in love with a dousan hunter while passing through the crystal desert with her family. Her desire to be with him however, came at a cost, as she became disgraced in the eyes of her community. Consequently, she moved to the crystal desert to start a new life with him. Their bliss would not last, as after a hunting accident involving Skekmal (no one believing this account of course) she was left alone to raise their only son.
Having no where else to go, she quickly retreated back to the Spritton settlement. Despite a cold reception to her and her "half-breed" son, her grief was eased with the great love she nurtured for him. However, despite her disapproval (and budding disillusion with the Skeksis) her son desired nothing more than to become a soldier for the Skeksis lords. Feeling that something was to go terribly wrong, she argued with him to reconsider. Unshaken, he made up his mind to be on his way; with both being left angry and hurt.
The poor mother was soon to find her feeling had been correct, as grave news soon passed to her that her son had been killed. Along with many others against an underestimated assault from the Arithiam, though she blamed the Lords for their carelessness. Finding little comfort amonst her people, in her grief, she once again departed to the crystal deserts, to wander the land in her solitude.
Many trine later, though known to be harmless, many in the desert came to know her to be the wandering witch of the crystal sands. As it had become known of her dousan-like obsession with death. However, she took it a step further, continually seeking new ways to reach her husband and son in the afterlife. To find a way to communicate across the great divide between life and death. To speak what was not said between them.
All the while, she harbors a bitter resentment to the Skeksis for the death of her family, and to the prejudiced, ignorant gelfling who continued to worship the Lords, and turned their backs on her.
