Beshira Name: Beshira Gender: Female Race: Inarta Age: 22 Birthday: AV 490, 22nd of Winter Residence: Syliras Occupation: Housekeeper and Hunter Physical Description (Height) 5’10” (Weight) 142 lbs (Build) Average (Features) Hair: Short and crimson with a subtle wave to it Face: Pale and smattered with faint freckles Eyes: Soft gold Concept Personality: Beshira is not a person one would argue with unless said individual plans on engaging in some form of violence or hostile interaction. She is quick to let loose her thoughts and almost as quick to raise her fists. Known to be more of a crude woman, she has no qualms stirring up some trouble or letting her voice be heard at inappropriate times. Acting on impulse is a core facet of her behavior and is something that she has absolutely no intention of keeping in check, though she may be persuaded to under the right circumstances. Traits: Rash, Impetuous, Defensive, Ambitious Ethics: Does not expect sincere compassion from others, but will repay it in kind should she receive any. Has no issues with hunting animals either as game or for the thrill of it and will do nothing to object to the murder of another being should it not concern her. Likes: Activities – Jogging, Hunting, Sparring, Cooking, Eavesdropping Entities – Bows and Arrows, Flora, Food Other – Daylight Dislikes: Activities – Arguing and Negotiating, Running Errands, Cleaning Entities – Endals and Wind Eagles, Guards, Insects Other – Persistent Noises [Character History] Born into a commoner family, Beshira had always excelled with a bow and arrow in her hands, swiftly learning the ropes and easily surpassing her peers in a matter of months. Though much could be said of her skills in archery, she had not fared so well in other things. Her rude and spontaneous demeanor has caused problems at regular intervals, usually resulting in strict reprimanding from her mother and father, Enith and Lyra. As such, she was typically looked down upon by fellow Inartas. Her actions had become more and more aggressive as time passed - harassment turned into threats and threats turned into violence - She had come to hate her people, not because she thought that they had been abusing or manipulating her, but from sheer spite and her inability to control herself and her emotions. Beshira departed from Wind Reach with no intention of returning, taking a boat to Avanthal and setting out from there. She sought distance between herself and her homeland, searching for a place to stay as she traveled from city to city. It wasn't long before she had tired herself out after reaching the city of Syliras, succumbing to fatigue and hunger. Unconscious, Beshira had been discovered near the Evantide Tower by Trista Alvarez, who had been out to greet an old friend. When she had awoken in her unfamiliar territory, she found that she been tended to by Trista, who offered her a stay at her home if she would pull her own share of work, and has remained in the household for five years thereafter, continuing to live there to this day.

Anything comfortable, as long as it doesn’t look tacky. Family : 1. Who are your parents and what are they like? I remembering them as being very loving and protective of me. I hated them. 2.

I’ve left my family behind, they don’t matter to me anymore. 5. Do you treat animals like family? Animals are food and sport. That’s all they’ve ever been and that’s all they ever will be. Location : 1. Where were you born? Wind Reach. 2. Where do you live now? Syliras. 3. If you could live anywhere in Mizahar where would that be? I haven't stayed long enough in any one city other than here to make any sound judgments. And I'd rather not talk about Wind Reach. 4. Do you have a favorite place to vacation or spend leisure time? Anywhere that’s outside. None of that ‘one with nature’ rubbish, though. 5. Where do you fear to be? Back home. Traits : 1. Do you have any physical weaknesses (disease, scars, and missing limbs?) No. 2. Are you right handed or left handed? Right handed. 3. What languages do you speak? What do you sound like? Do you have an accent? I haven’t spoken Nari in so long, it’s almost like a fading dream to me. I still remember how to speak it, of course, but the common tongue is how I get around nowadays. My voice is a little lower than some might expect. It’s harsh a tone, but I guess that just means I shout a lot. 4. Do you have any odd mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? I tend to raise my voice. It’s always the first thing anyone notices. 5. Do you have (or want to get) any tattoos or piercing? Why do you have them (or will get them) ? I used to be fascinated by piercings. I still am, actually, but not to the same extent. Occupations : 1. What is your occupation? I work as a housekeeper. I also hunt game whenever I have time, which I’ll either sell or have Trista or Jaine cook up if they're in the mood. 2. Do you like/dislike your work? Why? I have to get by somehow. Hunting is fun, though. It’s what I live for. If only I were better at it. 3. If you could be anything you wanted to, what would you be? Not much use dreaming. I like how I am now. 4. What occupation do you admire the most? Why? I wouldn’t say I admire any occupations. 5. What occupation do you least like? Why? Cleaning is a tedious chore and it hurts my back. I’d rather spend my time in the latter half of my job, but some things I just have to do. That’s life. Childhood : 1. What sort of child were you? Not a very good one, I’ll tell you that. 2. What is your favorite memory from childhood? When I first picked up a bow. 3. What is your worst memory from childhood? I don't want to talk about it. 4. What sort of relationship did you have with your parents? I don’t know how else to describe it other than ‘normal.’ It must’ve been very different from their perspective, considering how much of a problem child I was. 5. Who was your most influential rolemodel? I don’t have any. Education : 1. What sort of education do you have? Nothing formal. 2. Do you like/dislike learning? I don’t have a solid opinion on this.

I learned how to shoot at Wind Reach since I was brat. 4. How do you learn best? Hands on experience will generally do the trick. 5. What are your educational goals for the future?

Why not? With Trista, yes. 2. Do you trust people easily? If not, why not? No. I suppose that’s because I don’t give people a good reason to trust me, either. 3.

When I was a kid, I knew I’d tried something, but I have no idea what it was. It made me dizzy. 5. What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Be specific. Undesirable. Likes and Dislikes : 1. What are your hobbies? I love to hunt. 2. Do you like to read? No. 3. What annoys you more than anything else? Flying insects. Those things never cease to irritate me. 4.

I can’t word it any other way. Relationships : 1. In general, how do you treat others? If I can’t avoid them, I’m usually as blunt and direct as possible. 2. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? Trista. 3. Who is the person you respect the most, and why? Respect is a word I don’t like to use. 4. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If not, describe an ideal lover. I haven’t thought about it. 5. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
