She travels often in her pursuits, but only on relatively short trips. She always returns home to visit friends and family. She, like many of her peers, loves the land in and around the monastery.
Vinyasa's name (both of them) comes from a form of yoga that is often called "flow yoga". Sun is a common last name with those monks that follow a flow yoga strategy.
She is more elven than human in her mannerisms. Her entire life has been at the monastery. Her mother was pregnant after being raped by a human merchant visiting the city, and she chose to devote her life to the Order’s philosophy. Vinyasa was brought up completely as a child in the family of the monastery. Her mother did marry a couple of years after Vinyasa was born. Her step-father is another simple monk just as her mother is. They live their lives contently following their Life Path.
Vinyasa is not bitter about her conception. She loves her step-father and knows that her real father’s transgression does not extend to her existence. Her entire life has been spent living in the tranquility of the monastery and she is devoted to maintaining this life for herself and her community.
Early in life she found that she excelled in the art of yoga exercise. This allows her to control her balance and movements with uncanny skill. She also found her devotion and vowed to protect the way of the Order as well as she could. These two interests intertwined well as she trained in the martial arts.
She is in her late twenties and she has recently taken on duties as a warrior and aide for the upper echelon of the monastery. Previously she had been in a similar, though more militaristic position, with a different “supervisor”. She is not concerned much with the politics behind her duties. She knows that some in her community choose Life Paths that are more mundane and necessitate thoughts about the order as an entity. She tries to understand enough about the politics to understand why her actions follow her chosen way. She’s no brainchild, after all.
Her role as a warrior is not a conflict for her at all. The order’s philosophy allows for, and in fact encourages, those who wish to pursue martial arts. She is not emotional about the deaths of those she has killed. If she were to ever find out she has caused harm to those who only innocently cause suffering she would have a period of soul-searching. But when she finds it necessary to fight, maim, and kill, it is when she is as sure as she can be that the fight helps alleviate suffering.
She is not unemotional, but she is an observer and tends to say things after some measured thought about everyone else’s position. She is confident and competent when she is left to fend for herself, but she prefers that someone else make the decisions in a group.
Vinyasa has been sent to aid the Heroes of Dormantown because their cause is deemed useful and worthy by the Order. She arrived in Dormantown to quite a mess, but she is determined to help sort it out and then continue to assist the Heroes.
