Maya What are you looking at? Basic Information Name: Maya Abigail Race: Human, of Inartan maternity Birthday: Day 23 of Spring of 491 AV Age: 19 Height: 5'3" Weight: 120 lbs Hair: Dull Red Eyes: Sapphire Physical Description At 5’3” and 119 lbs, Maya does not seem very imposing. She has red hair and blue eyes that contrast sharply with the paleness of her skin. She never wears make-up, and prefers simplicity. Character Concept Being brought up in Wind Reach, Maya is cautious and temperamental. She has trouble becoming acquaintances, let alone friends, with others, and sticks to herself most of the time. Her short travels with her father have broadened the horizons of her mind, however, and she feels ready to accept new things, though not without trouble. Her Ethics can be described as Chaotic Neutral. Though not overtly "evil," neither does she go out of her way to do good. She enjoys small birds, such as Blue-jays and Robins, and she loves her life's work: Glassblowing. She dislikes birds of prey, and Eagle Riders from her home city. Character History Born in Wind Reach, Maya is the daughter of Johnathan Abigail and an Inartan mother, who died shortly after giving birth. At 5 years of age, her father left Wind Reach under counsel of close friends. He fled the city and had not been heard of until now. He came in the guise of a trader, and found Maya trying to sell a small glass sculpture. They recognized each other when their eyes locked, and Maya was overjoyed. She grew tired of working “for the good of the Inarta” (no doubt these feelings were influenced by her father’s mercantile tendencies) and longed to leave Wind Reach and explore. Her father spent most of his Miza in order to overfill his cart, and hid her in the midst of the goods, thereby smuggling her out of the city and beginning – what she felt was – the beginning of her new life. Having duties to uphold, he left Maya at the gates of Syliras, with nothing but 600 gold Mizas, select toiletries, a waterskin, food for a week, an eating knife, flint and steel, the clothes on her back, and two things she brought from Wind Reach: a painted blue-jay feather depicting Mt. Skyinarta with a backdrop of white clouds (which contrasted brightly with the blue of the feather), and a Talon Sword. Both the feather and the sword had belonged to her mother, and was her last tie to her Inarta heritage (other than her clothes and her appearance).
