Aveira

[Aveira]

Aveira Race: Zith Gender: Female Age: 9 (18 in zith years) Appearance: Aveira has dark black hair that reaches her lower back. She originally has gray fur all over, but dyes it white so that it’s less menacing. She cuts any fur that grows longer than an inch, such as that on her elbows. She has dark blue eyes and is just under 5’ tall. Hometown: Syliras Concept: Aveira hates who she is. Although she was born a zith, Aveira was raised by humans who found her abandoned outside their house. Having no idea how a zith baby could have gotten all the way to Syliras or even who had left her there, the couple decided to raise her as their own. Unfortunately, as the years went by, the caregivers grew to loathe their new child. They saw her as an abomination, a demon. They tried to make her more human through harsher and harsher discipline. She suffered severe beatings and abuse, both physical and emotional. She was made to believe that she was a demon. Aveira lived her life trying in vein to blend in. She refused to give into her violent instincts, bottling them up deep inside. One day, when she finally couldn’t take it anymore, she snuck out of the city limits, hoping to hunt down an animal to satisfy her bloodlust. Her mind went blank as she gave into the urge to kill. When she came to, the body of a young boy lay beneath her, his stomach ripped open. Her hands and face were smeared with blood from her kill. She ran back home. When the body was found, her parents knew immediately who had done it. They locked her in a nearby cellar for three years, unable to bear the shame, but unable to kill what had once been their child. Aveira eventually escaped after almost a week with neither water or food. She found the house abandoned. At nine years old, she was almost an adult and all on her own in a town that would never accept her. Personality: She’s desperate for affection and acceptance. Quiet and innately curious, she’ll do anything to make herself appreciated. She struggles to control her basic zith nature, but secretly enjoys hunting and flying through the night sky.
