AppearanceRace: Mixed Blood (Zith (father) x Vantha (mother))
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Birthday: 10th, Winter, 498
Birthplace: XY
Appearance: Body Type & Details: Slim and delicate, Malvora is leanly muscled and very slender. She is around 5' tall and weighs somewhere around 90 pounds although this weight does tend to fluctuate. Two stubs sprout from between her shoulder blades.
Facial Structure & Details: Her face, like that of most half Ziths, is quite angular. Her teeth appear to be a bit sharper than those of her human ancestors, though she does not appear quite as much a predator as her Zith father. Her eyes are dark, almost coal black with the pupil barely visible and are very wide, giving her an almost innocent feel, even as her thick, dark red mane of hair (which falls to her waist) betrays her Zith ancestry.
Coloration: Her skin tone is dark in coloration, in fact almost everything about her is dark. Her eyes are a very dark brown, nearly black and her hair is a deep, dark red that appears black in most lights, but is lit up by the sun.
Typical Clothing: Malvora doesn't particularly like clothing, but she conceeds that she must wear it around more civilized folks and thus wears (at most) a simple shirt and pair of pants.
Scars, Tattoos & Piercings: Malvora has a deep scar that cuts from just under her left breast down to her right hip. The scar tissue is very white against her dark skin and the places where the stitches were placed are very visible. She also has four piercings in each ear, her belly button pierced, and a nose piercing.
Character ConceptMalvora was raised by a mother who taught her that everyone and every thing is equal. This mother was devoid of racial stereotypes and was a giving and generous soul, willing to accept anyone and anything. Malvora, as a result, suffers from a severe split personality disorder.
On one hand, she embodies what her mother taught: forgiveness, acceptance, love, kindness, generosity. She understands that beings may be different, but they all have their strengths and their weaknesses. She values all of the roles the different species play.
However, deep in her psyche there lurks a second side to her personality. This side is dormant, most of the time, however it crops up whenever Malvora acts on her instincts. She still retains some of her Zith desires, an urge to rend and ravage those who irritate her, deep seated and intense sexual urges that rarely leave her alone, vicious mood swngs. She also retains the Zith fixation on things. She is deeply obsessed with learning, in particular magic. She has a fixation with Alchemy as well as with most types of world magic. This fixation was key to her enrollment in the Zeltiva university.
Character HistoryBorn in XY, Malvora was the daughter of B'sentos, a Zith man, and Milvesi Snowsong, a Vantha slave brought to Xy by one of B'sentos's brothers. B'sentos developed a curiosity and later an attraction to Milvesi and sired a child on her.
Malvora was born in Xy as a result, and remained there, being raised by her father as a Zith and by her mother as a Vantha, the beginnings of a split personality began to show. Malvora was taught both Zithinese and Vani during this time period, but remains only partially fluent in both of the langauges as a result of a familial uprising when she was five.
This uprising was triggered by B'sentos's younger brother, Bilgison, developing a fixation on Milvesi and eventually raping her, nearly killing her. B'sentos was enraged because Milvesi was, above all, his property and though it is not uncommon for Zith women to have numerous mates, B'sentos was protective of the Vantha woman. He killed his brother and then fled Xy with Milvesi and Malvora to Zeltiva, as the University there held some draw both for himself and for Milvesi. He also hoped to have his daughter gain an education.
In Zeltiva, B'sentos was captured and killed by an anti-Zith mob, leaving Milvesi on her own. With very little money, Milvesi got a job as a prostitute and taught her daughter at home instead of attending the University as she wished. Malvora soon learned Common and became a fairly proficient student under her mother's tutelage. Soon, Milvesi saved up enough to send her daughter to the University, though she perished of disease not long after.
