The first thing you will notice about Reine will be her eyes. She had her Benshiran blood to thank for that. Her eyes were bright and sharp - its irises the color of clear aquamarine. Yet, something was not right in her gaze. Something was broken, like shattered glass. But still, it did not lessen the beauty of her eyes. Framed by thick lashes and high cheekbones, the girl's beauty was quite obvious. Dark hair rained down her back, complimenting her pale skin. Unlike most Benshirans, she did not possess the tanned skin of the because she experienced the harsh sun of the desert for only four years and most of her life in Syliras.
Her slight figure and tall body carried a certain grace of the dancer she was. Though her body did not possess much of the womanly curves, the girl did not really mind. If one looked closer upon her, they would notice scars on her wrists and ankles - the ghost of the chains that used to held her.The scars did not end there. Faint whip scars decorated her back, forever reminding her of her painful days.

Born into the land of Yahebah, Reine was the youngest child of a very poor Benshiran couple. What little of her childhood that she could remember was filled with hardships. Both of her parents did not have any steady job. Yusenth, her father, had to look around for any available work that would bring food to his wife and children – from being a laborer to a thief. Watching her husband struggle, Isska decided she should help and so she did, acting as a maid or servant. It was nowhere nearly enough.When Reine was born, they were thrown into a worse situation. Another mouth to feed was a significant weight for the couple. Days went with the family of five not eating a thing. The three children would some time look for scraps in the trash. It was awful. They were all thin and sickly with no way to change that fact. Enath, the oldest child, started to work too, but he made not that much difference because he was too young.
One day, a slave caravan came passing through the desert land. The slave master saw the poor family and how much they needed the money to survive. He spotted the seeds of a beauty in Reine and offered to buy her for a big amount of money. The offer was surprising to her parents and the slave master decided to give them a few days to think about it. The money that was offered was tremendous in amount and it was nearly impossible to decline. Still, the family was hesitant. The slave master could tell and so, he sent one of his men to poison the little girl. The illness came swiftly. Yusenth and Isska were both at lost for what they should do. The slaver convinced them that Reine was going to die anyway, but seeing that they needed the money so much, he was still willing to pay. With that the deal was sealed. Little Reine was still too young to really understand any of it and she was too feverish to do anything but cry. She screamed and screamed, not wanting to be ripped away from her family. Her last sight of her family was four figures in dirty clothes, huddled together as they watched her go. As soon as they were out of sight, the slave master gave her the antidote and in a few days, she was as healthy as ever. Reine was only six then.
Everything from her journey was a blur. No matter what, she could not remember the details. Sand. Grass. Towers. Only that she was chained the whole time and it felt like forever. It probably was. She was brought from the deserts of Eyktol, through the grasslands of Cyphrus and into the city of Ravok. There, in the city of Rhysol, she was sold to wealthy merchant named Garhat. When he first brought her to his home, Garhat had treated her nicely, saying that she will be treated nicely. Though, even as young as she was, she could feel that the other slaves were swallowed in fear. It took a few days for her to find out the truth. Young Reine had been carrying a tray of food into Garhat’s dining room
A handful of the older woman fussed and gave her some salve to ease the pain. The whole time they were telling her about how it was not unusual to get whipped. Reine could not simply accept the idea. A couple of days later, she tried to escape and obviously failed. To punish her, Garhat chained her wrists and ankles every night. Slowly, Reine learned not to annoy her master for he had creativity in choosing the ways to kill her.
When Garhat saw magic potential in Reine, he had asked one his friends – Enala – to teach her the art of hypnotism. Enala was a patient woman and she was quite kind – but that may be because Reine had always did what she was told, not that she had any choice. The training happened every night, after the other slaves had gone to bed, depriving her of sleep. Enala thought her of how people think, how they react, how to manipulate what they want. As her skills improved, Garhat made her perform in most of his parties. Garhat figured it would be a perfect se-up – no one would think of a little girl as Hypnotist. Before the parties, he would give her names of his rivals and he would ask her to get their secrets – anything she could get her hands on. If she failed, he would whip her bloody and locked her inside a room for the whole night.
On the age of twelve, a wealthy couple had actually noticed her as she was using her Hypnotism. They asked her about it, but she kept quiet, just like Garhat told her to do. About a week later, Garhat handed her over to the odd couple. Later, she found out that their names were Adrad and Nidesa Verina. It was an odd experience for her to be moved to another house. Everyone she had known for six years simply gone and now she was about to be thrown into a new group of slaves. Nidesa told her that she was to be her son’s personal slave, which meant she need only serve him. When they were introduced, Delvor Verina had grinned, extending his hand towards her. She had hesitantly shook his hand and quickly retreated away, flinching reflexively. She was scared, scared out of her mind. Reine could not forget Garhat and what he did to her.
Much to her surprise, the Verina household was very different from Garhat’s home. Reine saw that the slaves were treated quite kindly. Their living quarters were decent and clean. When they made mistakes, they were simply chastised and been stripped of the little freedoms they were given – no dinner, extra work during their free day. Reine could barely believe it. After Garhat, her new home felt like heaven. Delvor treated her decently and he's not easily angered. Sometimes, he snuck a leftover of his dinner for her or made sure she didn't get any of the heavy jobs. They became friends, truly.
When she had turned fifteen, the slave and her master became a sort of lovers. It was not any way shocking for any member of the household. The girl and the boy had grown very close over the years. They knew each other very well and obviously attracted to each other. But love? Neither of them could be sure.
Not long after that, Delvor was sent to Syliras for some family business and Reine went him. Years passed, Delvor had not yet decided to return to Ravok and she could not figure out why. He never told her why they came here in the first place. During their stay behind the walls of Stormhold Castle, Delvor had granted her absolute freedom. He said that he would not be home much and that was proven after their first few months.
Slowly, Reine had gotten herself used to the freedom. There was no one holding her back, telling her what to do. She could just do whatever she wanted.
However, her magic in Hypnotism shaped her into another mold. Her attitude changed. As her talent in developed, Reine gained confidence and an air of charisma around her. No more was the small, shaky girl who flinched at the sight of anyone. Through the years of teaching from Enala, Reine knew how to be manipulative and ruthless, if she wanted to. She became competent in socializing and interacting with people. Comfortable, even. If she was interested by a certain individual, she would hesitate to use her magic to find out more about him or her.
If one really got know her, they will find that she's a friendly and warm girl who was just lonely. Someone who didn't know to put down the walls she had built around herself all those years before.

Heirloom: A guard dog given to her by Delvor after her first year of serving him. It was the first present anyone had ever given her, and so it meant a lot to her. She still remembered the exact words he had said to her as he handed her a small, dark-furred puppy. "I've been watching you and you seemed like you're scared of everything. This little canine here, should guard you. It'll let no one hurt you." This dog, who she had named Allero, constantly follows her everywhere if she did not ask him to stay inside the mansion.

House: Reine does not own a house, because as a slave, she lives where her master's lives - a small house located in the Maiden District - allowing her some lavishness she could not have otherwise. Unlike Delvor's old home, this house was quite modest with no servants or other slaves.
Reine's room consisted of a simple, wooden, queen-sized bed, a writing desk, a small dresser, an old couch, a large mirror, a thick rug, a small fireplace and a window-seat. It was quite spacey, allowing her to practice her dancing and acrobatics.
