| - Full name Class Nationality First appearanceWinds of Fate Dawnfire k'Sheyna was a young Tayledras scout of the Clan k'Sheyna. Her Gifts included Animal Mindspeech, and she mindspoke the nonhuman races with an enviable ease. Therefore, she specialized in coordinating the nonhuman residents of k'Sheyna territory. Despite this, this was unable to see through the eyes of her bondbird, Kyrr, without going into a full trance. As she was described: "...in her the aquiline Tayledras features had been refined to the point that she resembled the elfin tervardi, the lovely flightless bird-people she often worked with." (Winds of Fate) Dawnfire was insatiably curious. When her scout leader and lover Darkwind warned her away from the site of Treyvan and Hydona's mating flight, she fully bonded with Kyrr and went to investigate. She was present when Mornelithe Falconsbane attacked the gryphons, and was attacked with them. She woke trapped in Kyrr's body, with her own body and Kyrr's personality both dead. Trapped in the hawk's body, her future was bleak. Eventually, her mind would fade away, bit by bit, until only the hawk remained. Before this could happen, the Star-Eyed stepped in, transforming Dawnfire into an avatar. It was after her transformation that Dawnfire first met the Shin'a'in shaman Tre'valen shena Tale'sedrin. They both knew immediately that they were soulmates. They often visited with one another on the Moonpaths in the Spirit Plane. After Tre'valen's own transformation, they furthered the work of their goddess together.
