Saphtir Physical Description Name: Saphtir Race: Akvatari Age: 25 Birthday: 80th Day of Spring, 487 AV Appearance Saphtir's lower half is covered in dark fur, nearly black. Her upper half is slender and pale, and she has blonde hair framing an oval-shaped face. Her wings are a bright array of pinks, oranges, and violets, in a pattern like speckled raindrops. Character Concept Saphtir is an artist and musician, believing that she cannot properly express herself with either sound or sight alone. She favors chalk drawings, because chalk allows her to draw on walls and stone, and because it can easily be washed away and replaced with something new. Ever fickle, she rarely keeps a single drawing around for long, often bemoaning the inadequacy of her work. Before a musical performance she will spend hours decorating the area around her in preparation for a song, creating a backdrop that will befit her coming performance. Then when the music fades away, she will wash away the drawing as well, feeling it just isn't right for the visual beauty to remain when the sounds have faded to distant memories. Character History Saphtir lived in Abura until her twentieth birthday, after which time she left and began wandering the world. She has had little reason for her journeying, save for the fact that she never feels that any one place is 'home,' and thus eventually feels the need to move on. She never truly lays down roots, nor makes lasting friendships, feeling that when a moment has passed, whatever brief joy it may have brought you is now nothing more than a memory. It is better, she believes, to move on and leave the past behind, never realizing the eternal loneliness these choices bring her. Since leaving home she has lived a simple life, having few needs that she cannot provide for herself. When she needs money, she performs for it, or sometimes accepts minor donations when she is playing simply for herself. She has never developed a taste for expensive or elaborate things, seeing them as wasted trappings of a meaningless life, and thus her needs have been few. She has taken lovers from time to time, but never wed. As with other things in life, she prefers not to hold on to the past, preferring to take those fleeting moments of pleasure when she can, and accepting that nothing is destined to last. Her wandering has most recently brought her to the city of Wind Reach. While traveling the Kalea region, she heard many stories about the great wonders of the secluded city, such as the Flutter Cove and the Underground Forest. Eager to see these things for herself, she bought passage with a merchant's caravan headed to the mountain city. She arrived early in the Summer of 512, and as of yet has barely begun to explore the wonders of the Inarta.
