Lilith, Dancer

[Lilith]

Lilith Theme : Basic Information Race: Human Birthday & Age: 17th Day of Winter, 487 AV (23) Gender: Female Hair Color & Texture: Black | Straight Eye Color: Brown Height & Weight: 5'4'' | 110 lbs Physical Description Lilith is best described as slender and toned, a result of her life as a dancer out on the streets. She has been trained since her birth, a prodigy of the profession, obviously depicted in how she can control every muscle in her body to do as she pleases. Her face is beautiful, noteworthy, and gifted with large eyes and fine structure. Using her features to her advantage, she constantly adorns makeup to enhance her look and stage presence. Off stage and on, however, she is extremely proud of her pale body and wears clothing that shows off her form, such as low rising skirts that leave her hip tattoo exposed. Her clothing tends to be a little...dramatic, though she likes to think of them as being unique. Lilith prefers darker colors, though she also incorporates browns and whites into her costumes. Generally, all of her clothing appears to be the same style: a bikini top, either a long skirt or long, roomy pants that reach to the floor, multiple bracelets, and a variety of head decorations. These clothes are adorned with numerous trinkets, such as seashells, metal sequins, tiny chains, scarves, and etc. In her mind, life is a huge performance, so why not dress the part? Character Concept Lilith is capable of anything. She believes in obtaining what she wants and when she wants it and, with her looks and quick wit, she generally succeeds. She has no qualms with deceit and seduction, and frequently attempts to twist someone's life to her benefit. Her tongue is poisonous to her enemies, yet surprisingly sweet and sultry to those she deals with. She has no 'friends', merely people she finds beneficial, which seems to give people the illusion that she is lonely. However, they would find themselves incorrect: she finds it a blessing that she is alone, shutting down any who try to form a relationship. Note, she has allies, but this is based strictly on a business point of view. This freedom allows her to roam as she will, leading a life entirely devoid of baggage. Her memory is concrete, able to recite a phrase exactly as it was spoken, and fully understanding that the ability to do so is a gift. She uses this to her advantage, generally overhearing information while she dances at parties, in the street, or in a private home. If a couple are leaving their home for a romantic evening, she'll watch them leave and enter, stealing a few valuable items. If a criminal's whereabouts are referenced, she will sell that information to his enemies, whether it be the law or bounty hunters. In conclusion, she makes use of her skills and consequently runs into quite a bit of money...unless she gets caught. Then it's a matter of using either her body or wit to slip out of the situation. Character History Lilith was birthed from a whore in a seedy brothel within the depths of Sunberth. She was raised there, only knowing her mother as a coworker, and seen as an employee when she reached sexual maturity at the age of twelve. Those were possibly her darkest years, as she had no escape; her days were filled with men and coin, yet most earnings were stripped from her as the evenings drew to a close. Though provided with food and water, her stomach always ached and her mouth remained parched. Most of the girls would use their coin to buy food rather than save it to purchase a new life (an intelligent ploy of the owners). One day, around her thirteenth birthday, Lilith walked the lawless streets and noticed a new attraction: a woman dancing. The young girl had stopped in her tracks with awe, watching the older woman's hips move in beat of a man's guitar, belly rolling. Her arms had been like snakes, her spine curving with almost impossible fluidity. Lilith approached her when she had finished the song and presented her with her few coins, asking to be taught. The woman, at first, refused, seeing the time spent with her as a loss of opportunity. Lilith returned everyday, presenting her with a larger pile of coin collected from her occupation and pickpocketing. When asked how she had come into possession of the money, Lilith replied she had begun to take on more clients in order to raise a sum large enough to persuade the dancer. Moved, the performer agreed. Practicing with the dancer led to a new life. A few years passed, leading a fifteen year old Lilith out onto the streets with the older dancer. It was still a difficult life now that her meals were unpredictable, but she endured. She did her best and saved as much as she could, all the while learning from her counterpart. They created costumes, choreographed, and found other ways to become distinguished. Lilith was given a flowery hip tattoo at sixteen, making a reputation for herself. The tattoo, visible in her costume, made her unique from the other performers and even from her own bellydancing teacher. Eventually, with enough coin to spare, she hitched a ride with a merchant heading to Syliras, thinking perhaps she could make a better life for herself there. Bidding her teacher farewell, she danced her way across the countryside, hoping to build a little fame. She arrived at the city's gates on the eve of her twenty-first birthday, ready to begin a new life. However, she did not give up her old lawless ways. No, she continues to lie, cheat, and steal, using wit to overpower any enemy. Her body dances and seduces, winning her coin and love among men and women alike. But in her mind, she is in control now. No one tells her when to eat or sleep. The law keeps her safe at night. That's more than she could say for Sunberth.
