From Mizahar Lore
Gossamer is one of the six founding members of Mizahar. Along with Tarot, Liminal, Cayenne, Colombina, and Gillar they form the Founders Circle which created Mizahar in 2009 and continues to develop it to this day. Considering herself more of a designer and developer rather than an Admin, Goss (feel free to call her that) loves lurking behind storylines and weaving intense plots to her hearts content.
