Sombra, from the tents of Malech

[Sombra]

Sombra, from the tents of Malech Appearance Race: Benshira Gender: Female Age: 17 Birthday: Season of Summer, Day 14, 495 AV Birthplace: Yahebah Appearance: Sombra blends in well with her peers. Although her skin is lighter due to mixed heritage, it still retains a dark, desert glow. She was named "Sombra" after her dark eyes, unique for the Benshira people. It means "shadow of the mountain" in Shiber. Sombra has very attractive features, but avoids wearing colorful garments or jewelry. Character Concept Like her mother who abandoned the Drykas people to travel and discover her own destiny, Sombra wishes to leave the safety of Yahebah to explore the world and build her own life. While she is very intelligent and skilled at self-teaching, Sombra has trouble connecting with others outside of her immediate family, and often stutters when meeting new people. Conversely, she is very kind to strangers, and would never intentionally steal from or harm another being. Her father feels that she lacks cunning, and that Sombra will be overrun by the dangers of Mizahar. Character History Ever since Sombra began school as a child, she was considered odd by her teachers and peers. She was exceedingly good at school, but had trouble making friends, even at a young age. When other children would be playing games together, Sombra would be alone, tinkering with dangerous objects or exploring places she shouldn't be. Once, she was found on the roof of the schoolhouse she attended. It was never discovered how the little girl managed to get up that high... As Sombra aged, the differences between her and her peers grew. Others were obsessed with learning how to sing or dance or how to tend a farm, but Sombra spent her time solving complex algebraic equations or memorizing maps. By the age of 15, she had personally explored almost every corner of Yahebah and some of its bordering areas, including the land owned by her parents. Over the years, she heard wonderful stories of the horsemen of Endrykas from her mother, Hamrija. Hamrija was born to the Sapphire clan in Cyphrus. She bloomed to become a powerful webber, and an even more powerful personal mage, gifted in the arts of reimancy, auristics and shielding. While Hamrija made many friends among the Drykas people, a nomadic life was never for her. She left the web of her clan to discover herself, and her adventure led her to settle down in Yahebah, with a job on the vineyard with a son of Malech. Hamrija saw the conflict inside of her daughter. Although she had a comfortable life and a loving family, her destiny was not to marry and live a still-life. On Sombra's 16th birthday, her mother initiated her into the magic of reimancy by funneling her own res into the teenager's body. Because of the close relation between the two, the process was less painful normally expected, as the res was less foreign to Sombra's body. Sombra's father, Bado, was initially against the initiation. Sombra is nearing her second year as a reimancer, and has put a lot of effort into honing her skill. Sometimes, she helps her mother with several tasks, like providing extra water to crops or supplementing soil with certain nutrients. She still reads and learns, and currently plans on leaving home and embarking on an adventure of her own. Who knows? Maybe she'll make some friends on the way!
