AppearanceRace: Jamoura
Gender: Female
Age: 420
Birthday: 12, Winter, 93 AV.
Birthplace: The Spires
Appearance: Dark brown fur and equally brown eyes, Kessa is an average Jamoura. Her fingers are perhaps a little slimmer, more delicate, than most, and the creases of her face are more akin to black than the chocolate strands of her coat. She generally wears a pair of trousers, a robe over the top if she's too cold.
Character ConceptOn the outside, Kessa is a motherly, gentle Jamoura, a woman with a large family who is perfectly happy to look after them all day. She is known as a friendly, practical individual among her family and friends, the sort of woman who prefers to agree with a view she believes to be wrong than argue for no reason. However, as she grows older, Kessa's wanderlust - something she had thought she'd lost as a child - is returning, her love of learning and wish, more than anything else, to leave The Spires far behind and explore the world is growing. She knows it is only a matter of time before she succumbers and heads off into the wide world to explore and learn.
Character HistoryKessa was born to Fith and Janna, an alpha male and his rather charming mate. She was the second child the other being her older brother Sern - a stubborn but intelligent male. Kessa's childhood was fairly average, aside from the times she, as a youngster, would occasionally seek to escape the confines of her home and wander the great wide world. Being far too young and ignorant, her parents would find her and bring her back, ignoring her protests that, by the time she was old enough, everyone else out there would be dead - and to this day Kessa maintains that her point was valid.
Upon reaching near adulthood, Kessa befriended a man named Dern. He was a strapping young man of 200, and she a mere 162 yet after only a few years they were ready to move away and start a family together.
From then on, Kessa's life progressed as was expected by both her parents and her husband. They had children - three, two girls Mari and Ola, and a son they named Neth after Dern's grandfather. Kessa spent centuries looking after her children, watching them grow and flourish and develop as the years wore on. In her spare time she would read or meditate, content to let time go by as she continued her life in contentment. Centuries went by slowly and boredom slowly started to eat away at Kessa until, finally, she and Dern had a talk. Despite their love, he wanted to remain in the Spires, while she ached to leave and travel, they eventually came to an agreement: Kessa would leave for somewhere between a century and two, travel as she pleased and enjoy herself, while Dern would remain at home and look after things for when she got back. The agreement was satisfying for them both and so Kessa packed her bags, said goodbye to Dern and her other relatives and friends, and headed out.
She didn't get very far. Stopping at Grath's rest when she realized she had absolutely no idea where to go once she left the Spires. Since then, she's spent her time living there and planning where to go and how to proceed with her dream. She is, despite everything, beginning to have doubts about whether or not to go, and has considered more than once returning to Dern and her home.
