During her years and after seeing much sun, her skin is the color of a peach, no blemishes to be found any, save for the burn mark in the back of her neck.

Character Concept For an Inarta, she keeps as low of a profile as she possibly can and does not get along with those who try to mess up the balance of peace, so to speak. If she could pick a favorite word, it would be "No." She keeps everything she knows in the back of her head so, when the time is right, she can make someone feel instantly stupid by not knowing anything. Basically, Phoeniana will insert herself into any conversation when she feels the need to state a fact. This is why most people do not converse with her much. They suck up her sarcasm like a sponge and move on with their lives. When in combat, however, she instantly becomes a magnet for assistance, going to someone's whim without second thought, a complete contradiction to her earlier, rebellious and sarcastic nature. Likes: Birds. Birds of all sorts and kinds. The sun. Running her fingers through her hair, more out of habit than a desire to do so. Freshly baked honey bread. A night next to the campfire if she could spare the necessary items. Dislikes: The sounds animals make at night. During the day it's alright to here the chitter chatter, but at night, it makes for an incessant alarm clock. People who stare at her for long periods of times and children who scream at the top of their lungs. People who stare at her strangely. Greatest Weakness: Phoeniana is stubborn as a mule. When she wants something done, she will get it done no matter what the cost. Regardless if someone tries to talk her out of it or not, she will put her foot down and stand by what she says. Some may call it being a little hard headed. Greatest Strength: Her ability to store information. Even when it seems like Phoeniana isn't listening at all, she's actually retaining as much information as possible. She could grab a memory out of her head in seconds flat if she needed to. Though sometimes she may borderline eavesdrop to find out the scoop on something, her high capacity mind helps out in dire situations. Fears: Large crowds. Deep water that she can't see the bottom of. Being utterly lost. Dreams and Wishes: To be able to travel without having to cause a rift wherever she walks. Phoeniana just wants to have a "no holds bar" journey on her way to perfecting her archery and horse riding skills. Biggest Personality Flaw: Sarcasm. If Phoeniana is angered in any way, before she does something rash and extreme, she will sport high sarcasm. Going as far as to saying something that may hurt the person, only to get her point across. She has a blind eye for feelings sometimes. Biggest Personality Perk: The soothing voice. If things seem bad or if someone is mutually upset or hurt, Phoeniana does a great job in consoling them or reassuring them that everything will be okay. If she finds out she's doing that, however, she may immediately snap back to her outer shell, but the tranquility comes with her being outspoken and caring.

Character History Phoenaina was born in the Darnivia Commonrooms a few ways away from the Skyhigh Stables of Wild Reach. Her parents, a seamstress mother named Betrina Pulzy and a horse breeder father named Kurk Pulzy were a very odd pair. Betrina loved to sew and wanting nothing to do with the outside world other than making money through her clothing. Kurk, on the other hand, loved working hands on with the horses at the Skyhigh Stables. He attempted to do some glasswork be could not find any passion and adventure in it. Everything was going well between the Avora and the Chiet. They even had a baby! However, things went downhill when Betrina was stricken with an ailment a few months after Phoeniana was born. Her brain slowly started to shut down on her until the only thing she knew how to do was to respond in sentences no longer than 5 words. Her motor skills were skewed, walking in a straight line becoming difficult, doing the simplest of tasks become as complex as building a house. The only thing she really knew how to do was to sew; sew all day long and sell them in the market for a little change. Unfortunately, with her state, Betrina quickly became a Dek, forced to work in The Communal Kitchen, scrubbing dishes and getting her meals from there. In that condition, and with Phoeniana being only a few months old, it was up to Kurk to take care of his wife and his daughter. Kurk, being a Cheit, had to do what he could to provide for his family. Not wanting to leave Phoeniana in the care of his wife while he was out on the job, he took the small child to the Communal Nurseries until she became a Yasi at the age of 8. Years went by as Phoeniana and the other Yasi completed their Bendi. She didn’t speak to most of the other children and only showed interest in archery and horse riding. At the age of 15, she went to visit her father who still stayed in the same Commonrooms. He told her stories about his cheit life and how her mother was doing in the Communal kitchens. Hours were spent while the two talked about the horses he took care of. After hearing about Wind Reach's past by her father, Phoeniana was sure she wanted to learn more about the skies as well. By the time she turned 25, Betrina had passed, leaving a shattered and shell of a man for a father and a large weight of responsibility on her shoulder. She did not want to take up where her mother left off with the needle work, for she loved the outdoors too much to stay inside. With her father growing old in his years, he finally gave her the short bow her mother had kept in her younger years, before she became a seamstress. Inside the room were trinkets and antiques that belonged to her mother. Surging with joy, she quickly thanked her father and promised to do wonders with the bow. However, after finally mustering up the courage to leave her father, she realized that she knew very little about archery other than what the Bendi taught her. Phoeniana, confused as to what to do or where to go, decided that she would find someone skilled in archery to lead the way. However, with society in Wind Reach as it is, she would need a lot of help finding out what to do about being a huntress while being nothing more than a Cheit like her father.
