Ceta

Ceta, the progenitor of the Hawk bloodline crashed on the planet Dathomir many centuries ago while a child. She had almost no knowledge of her previous life, only a small ink under her collarbone of a predator bird, due to which, the Witches who found her gave her the name.

''Darkness tempts and preys on our fears, on our soul... it calls.''

A member of the Singing Mountain Clan, Ceta grew up by the laws brought to them by Allya, showing a strong affinity for spells not long after she'd adapted to Paecean. Though in the beginning, she spoke a language foreign to them, in time she chose to forget it and became Dathomiri by choice. And just as Allya had once arrived from the stars and brought them freedom, in the time Ceta's arrival was believed to have a purpose as well.

Sometime during her lifetime, the Clan Seer foresaw "the fall of the ceta". In the vision, many ceta, fell from the sky, plundering towards the ground. Knowledge of the prophecy reminded Ceta of her life before she came to live with the Witches, her own birth mother declaring "there is darkness in us all, daughter". Those words were knowledge of a hidden past, one she chose to keep to herself. Ceta willingly lived with the Witches, respected their rules and ways. She refused to acknowledge the history of her birth family, far beyond Dathomir. "What if the ceta chooses not to fall?" She even went so far as to ask the Ma'tra of the Clan when she heard of the prophecy.

''There is darkness in all of us, daughter. It tempts, it seduces, it consumes. They say we fall but what if we choose it? Just beyond, there is something far greater than what all fear - power. To have the strength to truly become one with the darkness, to achieve such power? Isn't that a wonderful concept, my child?'' - Ceta's full memory of her birth mother.

Ceta never told her adopted family about what she remembered, choosing to live as one of them, choosing to be good. If any Witch was to hear such a concept, they would think her a liar, believing it wasn't possible but Ceta lived out her life with them, good and unfallen. She chose a mate among them, Khane, and bore four children. Nagini, Winter, Hotah and Mato. Her offspring all wore the name Hawk, they were also inked with the same ink their mother had a tradition which was kept for several generations before dying out with the enigmatic origins of the Hawk family, unknown to any of the living family members, other than Katrine.
