Xolani N’go Abraham.

Meet Xolani Abraham, one of the four main characters of the Taliah comic series. Xolani is a Blade and Spiritual Magick wielder from the Blades of Oa, an assassin and bounty hunting group operating in Procoline Kingdom. See more of her bio below:

Xolani Abraham was a young girl whose parents had orphaned and given to the Blades of Oa. She trained with the blade and shield under the watchful tutelage of Hollander Martine, Jezebel Cancer, and Fatima Harare, the three leaders of the Blades of Oa. While with the Blades, Xolani came to excel at her trade. In her early life, she fell in love with Marisa Aldimere, an exceptionally gifted swordsperson who was favored to one day take over for one of the three leaders of the Blades. Their romance was tumultuous and ended abruptly and terribly. A year later, Xolani met Micah Ido and the two became life long friends, partners, and lovers.

When Xolani was twenty, a newborn appeared on her doorstep one night. A note in the basket named the child “Sophie” and begged the Blade to take care of her. Despite initial reservations, Xolani decided to raise the child. Instead of telling Sophie she was her mother, she said that they were sisters and their parents had given up on them. Sophie wanted very badly to be a Blade but Xolani forbade it. She pushed her to finish her schooling and find a different career.

When Xolani received the assignment to hunt down Leira Orta, she didn't question it. However, when she learned that the target was a Cataloger who spent their time observing and writing reports about wildlife and plants, something seemed off. Still, the pair tracked her down, intent on either arresting or, if it came to it, killing their target. That's when everything began to unravel.
