The reason I was thinking the brother might not be the best choice is because your character has been sold in slavery, they're going to be no longer associated with the family. Or at least they're going to have been seen as having disappeared, assuming their actual identity isn't know. It might be weeks, even months, before she could get back in touch with her family again, and having Exalted, she's not likely to be going back to her former life either.<br/><br/>Does that make more sense now?
