Race: Human - half Inarta
Birthday & Age: 21th Day of Winter 493, so she's 17 years old.
Gender: Female


Physical Description

At 5'7" and 130 lbs, Hayii is actually quite heavily built but hasn't been able to eat sufficiently for ages, making her skin look like a thin layer of wax applied directly on her bones. Her eyes are a swampy green, looking quite flat and empty when she's hiding her emotions (i.e. most of the time). Her hair is curly and hazel with a very faint reddish tint.

She wears a plain dress, leather shoes of wildly different sizes, and a leather backpack of nice quality.

A crude picture of half a black sun is branded on the back of her left hand, marking her as a slave to anybody with just a rudimentary knowledge of Ravok's social structure. Time has faded it to a greyish brown, thereby making it possible for people to confuse it with a simple speck of dirt if the light isn't too bright.


Character Concept

Hayii's mother was enslaved because of her acting on an idiotic impulse, and because she often told her daughter this, Hayii is very good at controlling her emotions and takes pride in it - it's what gave her enough food, warmth and status to survive as a slave.

Hayii had started to believe that she really is much less worth than a free person and that her mother was lying when she said something different in Hayii's early childhood - she's born a slave and would always be a slave. Hayii then escaped, not even planning to or anything, and how that'll affect her, the world has yet to know.

As a consequence of being brought up in a rigid caste system, Hayii is a strong believer in fate; Lhex has reasons to make a lowly beggar poor and a mighty king powerful, and people can do very little to change their standing if he doesn't want them to. Therefore, she'd be very needing before even considering the thought of stealing; rich people deserve their money. Following the same logic, she isn't very likely to stop a crime from happening even if she's could: The victim brought it upon themselves. She doesn't worship Lhex, though; she simply sees him as an uncompromising force of nature.

Hayii is highly suspicious towards strangers, having experienced very few reasons not to.

The only thing that can make Hayii smile an honest smile will at the same time make her feel that sad, nostalgic feeling of yearning for something you know you can't have: anything related to Inartan culture.


Pre-Creation

Hayii's mother was an Inarta who liked to take risks and prove herself. On her fifteenth birthday, she was given a place in the Chiet caste. Shortly thereafter, she saw the young man she'd fallen in love with hunting walruses with his friends. Wanting to impress him, she decided to swim out to a little cliff in the midst of huge, violent waves. Of course, she went under immediately. The walrus hunters never noticed her.

She washed ashore a bit down the coastline on a cave-like place invisible from land. As she lay there, knocked unconscious by the rough underwater cliffs and soon going to die from hypothermia, the large ship of a rich merchant of the type who'd do everything for money suddenly appeared around the corner of the mountain, taking her on board. In the days, she was used as the lowliest worker on the ship; in the nights, the merchant's bedwarmer.

After a year of this lifestyle, the ship anchored near Ravok. The merchant wasn't as pleased with her any more - she'd been very tired and had some bad headaches lately - so she was sold on the slave market. Shortly thereafter, the woman discovered that she was pregnant, and eight months later gave birth to a little girl who looked a lot like her mother. She named her Hayii, the Nari word for "hope". As Hayii grew older, she lived her days as a slave, but her mother's stories and songs about the bird people in the fiery mountain gave her a speck of light in a dark life.

Then, as a six-year-old, she was sold to a new master. Her mother stayed with the old one.

As the years passed under her new master, the girl grew realistic. She wasn't sure any more if the beautiful Nari stories of her mother had been just that. Stories. She had to concentrate on this world, to do what her master told her. She was just a slave, after all. Those dreams weren't going to come true, so why dream them? She slowly forgot both the stories and the Nari language she'd been told them in.

By Summer 510, she was sold to a riding merchant.


Post-creation

On the 26th Day of Summer 511, Hayii and master arrived in Alvadas. As the girl stood outside the city gates with the horses, she was drawn by the sound of her mother singing. It evoked so many pleasant, almost forgotten memories of her mother that she couldn't help but go towards the voice. When she realized what she'd done, the city gates weren't behind her any more.
