concept

"What's yours is mine, what's mine is mine too."

Zeva is a colourful creature who has always managed to adapt to her settings while never truly fitting in and yet she is completely unphased by it all. Loud, aggressive, mischievous and ever on the move, she seems to embody the sea and sky that have made up the bulk of her life.

Hailing from Nyka, she's a plucky and fearless thing, eager to jump headlong into situations before ever considering the implications of doing so. Consequences seem to have little meaning to her outside of becoming story fodder, misadventures to be heavily embellished in future retellings, and she's somehow managed to get through life with most of her feathers intact. Perhaps this is due to her spending the majority of her life at sea with the footloose Svefra but she has taken to freewheeling through her life, rules going in one ear and out the other.

She is an intensly curious individual and is growing up to be an avid collector of all things - experiences, hobbies and items - and is ready to treat Lhavit like her personal oyster. At her core, however, she is selfish, self-focused and inherently wild, motivated only by her own wants and needs.

Postby Zeva on August 30th, 2018, 4:45 am

appearance

Height 5'7" (1.7m) Weight 135lbs (61kg)


Zeva is a vibrant being used to being heard and seen - and she's a difficult sight to forget.

Her face is a soft rectangle, possessing bright eyes as blue as the shallow waters of the Suvan Sea and seem to dance with mischievous intensity. Her broad, full lips are often seen in a companionable grin if not an outright broad, toothy smile which has caused laugh lines to form at their edges. A distinct, red rim borders her big eyes - a feature carried over from her Avikki form - which she regularly hides beneath a helping of black kohl, this only serving to make the hue pop even more.

Atop her head is a shock of almost unnaturally red-orange hair that mirrors the colour of her beak in Avikki form. It is long, thick and unruly, styled by the wind and salt air. She wears it loose and down, allowing it to fall in haphazard waves, with the odd dreadlock, twist and knotted braid peeking out amongst the masses, decorated in small glass beads, colourful ribbon and shells.

Although of average height, she seems to radiate, her skin sunkissed and heavily dotted in dense, brown freckles and decorated in a myriad of tattoos in varying styles and quality. Her figure is also relatively average, lean and compact yet it draws the eye despite lacking much in the way of femininity.

She dresses in a way that reflects her Svefran lifestyle - taking bits from the various cultures her pods have comes across - and prefers to layer whenever possible -- not that she is shy about going without. Having a keen eye for nice looking things, she has amassed a small horde of jewellery which she wears stacked when possible in the Lhavitian style, and prefers finer fabrics when she can get her hands on it. She also has a penchant for head wear - the more eye-catching the better.

Her Avikki gull form varies little from that of those found amongst the Svefra that she spent her formative years with. Her size and colouring is standard for an Avikki gull, with a white head, body and tail and smoke grey back and wings tipped with black and dotted with white spots. Her beak and webbed feet are a matching vivid red-orange as well as the ring around her bright blue eyes.

OOC note: Proportions and likeness based on that of a Silver Gull.


Length 15" (40cm) Wingspan 38" (96cm) Weight 10oz (290g)


history

Summer 513
    Zeva is born to a very fussy grey squirrel Kelvic in the East quarter of Nyka. Never knowing her father, Zeva grows up around the docks while he mother works in the Nyka Bank. The juvenile kelvic quickly begins to embody the passion and pluckiness that befits a Nykan.
Winter 514
    Now independent and well aware of what she is, she comes across other Avikkis upon the arrival of a group of Svefra. She's fascinated and, being a natural born opportunist, she uses her animal form to stow away upon one of the Svefra's ships once the group sets sail.

    Suffice to say the Svefra on board are surprised when the stowaway reveals herself. However, given her sea-touched eyes and Avikki form, she finds herself begrudgingly accepted by the pod and begins on 'working' to earn her keep. The following season finds her fully embraced by the pod.
Summer 515 - Fall 517
    Zeva quickly takes to the Svefran lifestyle and travels amongst various Sebakem Sea Svefra pods all the way to the Southern Suvan where she eventually begins to settle in with the Svefra of the Suvan.
Winter 517 - Spring 518
    Zeva finds herself restless, a tug for something more pulling her away from the Suvan and out to the Ahger Ocean. She continues to live among the Svefra that call this wild outer ocean their home, running messages and thieving scavenging when needed.
Late Spring 518
    She finds herself amongst the Brightshoal pod when she first sets eyes on the city of Lhavit and is instantly captivated by the diamond of Kalea, the city of Stars, and decides to make it her home.
Summer 518
    Zeva is unleashed upon the unsuspecting denizens of Lhavit (play begins!)

housing
Location Lhavit
Lifestyle Common
Housing When she isn't roosting around Port Tranquil, she stays within a simple room at the Solar Wind Apartments. Her room happens to have a particularly airy feel to it, complete with gauzy drapes, plush - yet cheap - mismatched fabrics and a balcony. It's a well worn room yet well maintained prior to her taking residence and she keeps it in a rather 'lived in' state, various scavenged pretties stashed in a corner. It contains all she needs: hearth, canopy bed, a wooden desk, a soft, rounded chair, and couch.
