Herald Jisa was a level-headed and determined woman, a MindHealer with a strong empathic Gift. She married Heir-Presumptive Treven and became both the King's Own Herald and the Queen Consort.

Herald Jisa was raised the daughter of King Randale and King's Own Herald Shavri, but Vanyel is her biological father. King Randale was unfortunately sterile, but the truth of this was hidden so that Randale would remain available for an alliance marriage. Shavri, who was Lifebonded to Randale, desperately wished for a child, and so Vanyel became a donor as a favor to the couple. Because of this, and Jisa's subsequent marriage to Treven, the rest of the royal line, right down to Herald-Mage Princess Elspeth and further, are all descendants of Vanyel.

It was clear to many that Jisa would follow in her mother's footsteps in being Chosen the King's Own. Unfortunately, Jisa's Choosing was put off until her mother's death, as her mother's Grove-Born Companion, Taver, was to also become her own, and thus had to wait to Choose her.

She was eventually Chosen by Taver, following the deaths of her parents.

Jisa was a Mindhealer with a strong Gift of Empathy and the Mindspeech Gift. She also carried Mage-Gift potential "in a double dose"[1] (according to Vanyel), and would pass it on to her descendants.
