Honest Body allows Norra to detect if mimics or gestures are natural or faked. This comes as simple feeling when someone is faking a smile or similar and she considers it completely natural, as six sense, constantly active. She also can't detect anything else, so why is person faking something is left to assumptions.

Physical Description


Norra appears as one of the Konti, beautiful, charming, soft, innocet.
Norra stands 5'9", which is fairly tall for a Konti, but makes her feel uncomfortable among non-Mura residents. Her height has been a problem to her, since, despite all the respect her race gains by some people, she cannot create vision of authority among humans. She is fairly thin and stands around 120lbs.
Norra's hair is very pale, almost white. It seems to have some tone of blue mixed to it, but people usually identify it as optical illusion, which it probably is (Norra isn't aware of this). She has bangs on her forehead, going from the top of her head to her eyebrows. Her hair is really long and straight. To touch, it appears really soft, but not to fragile.
Her eyes are dark blue and they do not change color due to her Vantha ancestors. As a child, she used to believe that their tone slightly changes, but that's only illusion she created to herself to mentally approach to her father.
Norra's skin is soft and pale, without any makeup. Her nose and mouth are little. She has Lacun mark on the left side of her neck, barely noticeable to unexperienced eye bellow her hair. She sometimes tends to hide it using Illusionism.
Her voice isn't rather feminine, but it's naturally soft (sounding a bit like whisper), yet loud. It would give her potential for singing if she was ever interested in such a thing. One could listen to her for hours and never get annoyed, but sometimes it tends to get people sleepy.
The young Konti, when she acts naturally, leaves expression of confident and smart person, which she surely is. However, Norra tends to act a lot, so you might see other version of her when you meet her. She normally speaks loudly and doesn't use much gesture to prove her point.
Same goes for facial expressions. Norra isn't utterly cold person, but she tends to show only more significant emotions on her face. She might give you a supporting smile sometimes, but she tends to smile only when she's truly happy. She will rarely show her sadness or anger in public, except if she has her reasons. However, if she grows close to a person, she'll openly show her emotions.

Character Concept


There's no such a thing as Norra's usual behavior. Konti is actress, she can be confident and shy, innocent or dangerous, smart or unintelligent, everything depends on how she wants to appear to the person. If you see her alone, on streets for example, she'll probably appear confident, walking straight, head risen. She also rarely uses much gestures or mimics for any role, she'll usually use words to make her point.
Norra is humorous, but most often sarcastic. She isn't the type to laugh at her own jokes and only greets jokes of others with a smile, unless they were impressive enough to surprise her.
Her main disposition is being intrigued. She loves to figure different personalities or anything hidden from non-careful eye. You'll easily find her trying to lure out information about people, interesting affairs trough their lives or just informations that would hold great price in their nemesis' hands.
Her main look at life is optimistic, she considers she'll continue having fun and discovering stuff in this world, however she is pessimistic about points of finding some sense, purpose. She doesn't believe in peaceful happiness, she believes in fun.
She is controlled, reserved person. You won't get her to show you her weaknesses, but she will react by acting colder than usually if you mention her father, children and pregnancy or her ex husband.
She is straight to asexual, finding that hardly any person can impress her, not to mention tickle her senses. Because of this she tends to become demisexual one day when she finally meets such a person.
Norra mainly worships Ionu, mainly trough simple thinking about him/her. She finds the divine creature the most intriguing of all illusions and starves to know more about it. No matter how many times or how long her brain races trough all rumors and myths she heard, she always finds that God/dess didn't show any specific characteristic that could be used. She doesn't try to use anything against the being, this is just habit she built over years, due to her Konti gift: seeking for one's greatest weakness.
Norra herself isn't very sure who she is anymore, her personality is buried under dozens of masks she created for herself and one would have to dig deep down to find curious child she used to be. What one could call 'true Norra' is the personality she displays to persons close enough to her: same mask, with sparks of her emotions hidden deepest: sorrow, nostalgia.

Character History


Chapter 1: Island of peace :
Image Norra was born on Mura, on 4th of Spring 475AV. She lived alone with her elder sister (half-sister, but for a Konti only mother is what matters) and mother. Her father was Vantha, and that was the only thing she knew about him. She grew in perfection, surrounded by her mother, Rak'kei's healer, her sister, who sang, played piano and danced, and her aunt and two cousins who often visited.
She did not gain any Gnosis at birth. Her mother considered it cruel game of Gods, but Norra knew it was a sign, she wasn't meant to be neither healer nor seer, she wasn't meant to even be a Konti, she was meant to follow her father's footsteps.
Norra was charismatic child and everybody liked her. Her elder sister used to envy attention paid to her when she was born, so she arrogantly showed her how superior she was in many abilities and how much more gentle and femine.
Despite the fact Norra had family, while most Kontis lived only with their mothers, she was lacking father. She considered her own race too innocent, fragile, naive. As she grown her gift gave her ability to manipulate almost every single Konti she was in contact with. They didn't suspect anything in child. However, adventurous spirit thirsted for other races and their mysteries.
That would explain why Nora was so happy when she got her father's book from her mother. There were no stories or tears, just simple "Your father wanted you to have this". Her mother would never have given her the book, the book about Hypnotism, and ruin her peaceful, happy life, but she respected her lover's wish, she possibly still loved him.
After she received the book she started studying Hypnotism. That was only thing she clung to with her bare life, only possibility for her to lure out some adventure. She practiced and practiced, getting better in both magic and psychology itself at such a young age.
At the end of book she found signature: Adrian Roberts; written in messy handwriting, as if he was in hurry. This was her lead for searches years after.
Her mother taught her simple medicine, hope to pick some of her attention at traditional skill of Konti and their family, but only thing she ever pick up was treating simple open wounds. Medicine did not intrigue her and she didn't intend to devote her life to it.
After she finished 30th, she concluded it's time to go. She considered herself physically too weak to leave Mura, but she was sure she could escape from any trouble by her charisma only. After all, she did not intend to search for any trouble.

Chapter 2: Where adventure begins (and ends) :
Image

Thirty year old Norra departed from Mura on 25th day of Spring 505AV to sail to see the world. Her excuse was mainly wanting a child, but what she truly desired was knowledge and adventure. She firstly directed towards Lhavit, great city of the stars. It was one of the closest cities and one that she hoped to accept Konti well. Stepping to outside world, first thing she noticed was how short she is compared to most of residents. Being tall among Konti gave boost to her authority and self esteem, while she couldn't feel too confident surrounded by people who didn't even speak her language and whom she knew nothing about, even nor most of them were aware of Konti. She continued her studies in Hypnotism there, slowly raising to more advanced level, which affected humans pretty well.
After some time of living in Lhavit she found out about dangers of the city. Symenestra would probably aim for defenseless creature, as she was. Her only power were her words, and she couldn't imagine using them to convince huge humanoid spider to leave her alone. Thus, she started searching for someone to protect her on her travel to next city. While searching, she met Akalak. To this day, she isn't sure why have he been in Lhavit, so far from his home city and to this day she curses Lhex for brining him in her life. Norra and young Akalak fallen in love. She had fallen in love with his calmness and tradition, while he have fallen in love with her wiseness and beauty. It was immediately decided that her next goal was Riverfall, beautiful city of male warriors. However, due to Riverfall's laws she couldn't go as completely uneducated person who couldn't pull of any job. Thus, she decided to study medicine a little more, so she could apply for job of doctor's assistant. Her lover waited for her patiently.
As soon as they arrived to Riverfall, they got married. Their Chevas marks represented Akalak accepted her cheerfully, as they would accept any female, but members of her husband's family obviously didn't like the fact that she was Konti. About a year and half passed since they met, when Norra got pregnant. They were really happy and they both hoped baby was Akalak. Norra would stay and raise her son in Riverfall, probably her whole life. They talked about it and agreed that Konti baby should be saved from cruel outside world and brought to Mura, for her mother or sister to take care of. However, neither happened. Baby was rarest case, hybrid, female creature with pale hair and paleblue skin, probably carrying genes of both races. They named the girl Adriana, after Norra's father. Their parents loved her unselfishly, purely. Adriana grew and there was more and more hope in her mother's eyes for her daughter to survive. She caught colds and poxes and she fought trough them. But she didn't finish first year yet when it happened. She had flue, high fever and she was sweating constantly. Both Norra and doctor she assisted did their best, but girl died.
Death of their child threw both parents into despair. It was the only thing they could think about. Looking at the beauty of Riverfall the only thing Norra saw were those wide blue eyes, mumbling something cheerfully. It was all her fault. She should have never loved Akalak. She should have had a child with human, Konti child and brought her to Mura and raised her happily. After a while she and her husband realized that their relationship was bond to fail, that their marriage was now marked by loss and they can't stand being close anymore. Divorce wasn't though, they broke in peace, sealing their love for each other deep down, masking their loss by forgetting. Norra's Lacun mark always represented loss of a child to her, instead of loss of love.

Chapter 3: Illusions :
Norra decided to travel again, this time in search for her father. After almost two years of search, she got in his trace. She met acquaintance of his friend, nice Inarta woman. Her search ended up in Syliras. Once within a city, it took her surprisingly long to find the man. He choose his friends carefully and hid his traces well. She succeed to find his friend, wise Ethaefal, and contact her father.
They met.
It was as if her every dream came true. Her father hugged her tight, telling her that he knew she would come, that he was proud of her. None of them shed tears, but that one moment made her as close to him as if she spent whole childhood with the man. Her father was already old by then, probably 80 years old.
She moved into his little cottage and they lived happily for a while. He taught her more about Hypnotism, showing her how easily he gained status and money in huge city of Sylira only by using people for his purposes. He was Vantha and he always cursed his origins. His eyes always shown how he felt, so he had to control not only his acting, but his emotions, as well. He told her he was obsessed with Hypnotism, he almost overgiven few times. Because of his eyes he tried even to serve Gnora, as her cult didn't allow showing any significant emotion, but he couldn't bear with it. He taught her basics of Auristics, as well, convincing her it would be very useful skill in her set, assisting Hypnotism. Oh, and how he talked about her mother! He had no love after beautiful Konti, he still wrote poetry for her, hoping she will be back one day. He hated himself for it, but he couldn't forget her. Norra lived simply and she was happy.
Image

Chapter 4: Death :
Image Not so long after Norra's third image of happiness was crushed. Her father was old and he died, leaving her utterly alone in this world. The only thing he left her was advice: visit the city of Ionu. She decided to listen to those words, she moved to Alvadas, trying to get over her loss. She seemed to be losing everything she loved, her child, husband, and now father. But her spirit was unbreakable and she knew she'll find her purpose one day. City of illusions will most likely be the best place to start new life at. She sold her father's house in Syliras and moved to Alvadas, starting a new life there. She made a promise to herself to return no Mura one day, at least to visit her mother and sister. Also, she decided this was world's last chance. If it wanted her among other citizens, it wouldn't make her suffer anymore. It would allow her to have fun playing with weak-minded people and enjoy her life in Alvadas and get a beautiful daughter one day. If not, she swore she'll go back to Mura, to end in peace of the island she considered boring, but at least safe.

Chapter 5: Illusionism :
