Birthday & Age - Season of Spring, Day 12, 496 AV, Age 14
Gender - Female
Physical Description Shanarira is a lean but strong pale-skinned human with fiery, wavy red hair, and green-gold eyes like an Inarta. Her height is about 5’6 and her weight is about 145 pounds. She grows her nails out long and she likes to think they resemble claws. She may resemble at first glance an Inarta, but look closer and you’ll see that something is… different about her features. She likes to think that her eyes are vaguely cat-like which gives her a fierce predatory look, and her features are subtly different. Still, that doesn’t stop most people from thinking that she’s an Inarta. Shanari has these features because her mother was a Kelvic and her father was a human. She never knew her father but it is obvious that he was an Inarta. In human form, her mother looked strangely like a Vantha, which explains the faint silver shimmering of Shanari’s hair.
Character Concept (Optional But Recommended)
Personality - Shanari likes being alone. Growing up she never had friends, and she grew to hate her mother and her master. Because of what she endured growing up, she doesn’t trust easily, tends to think of other people as annoying and useless, or so they seem to her at least. She has, does, however, worship Caiyha, the goddess of nature, though she recognizes other gods and goddesses. She gets along better with animals than people, she’s discovered, and wouldn’t mind getting a dog someday. She also has a dream of becoming a falconer someday, but doubts that it will ever come true. She has quite a temper, but thinks that she hides it well. Well, hopes that she hides it well, anyway. At 14 years old, she’s a little young to be living by herself. Though she does have a little skill with sword, bow, and morphing magic, the fact is, that even if she does have a knack for surviving, she’s still a kid inside.
Ethics - Shanari doesn’t care much if she is rude to people, offends them, or otherwise hurts their feelings. The one thing that gets her is that she doesn’t like to kill people. She doesn’t mind killing animals for their food, but she believes that you should never kill without reason. As for people? Shanari’s never had to do it, but wonders if she could, if she was attacked and had to do it in self defense. She doesn’t think she’d mind stealing if she had to, but she’s never had to do it before, after all, she wanders around a lot, usually in the wilderness.
Likes - Shanari likes to be alone, and likes animals. She likes the idea of being a falconer someday. She also likes music and thinks that she wouldn’t mind learning how to play an instrument someday. She loves to read, though due to the limited supply of books, especially in the wilderness, she rarely has to use those skills. Little more than a kid, Shanari’s got a lot of choices out there, and she may have skills in a variety of areas.
Dislikes - Annoying, useless people, especially humans. She hates people that mistreat their Kelvic bondmates or servants, and hates the way all Kelvics seem to want a bondmate. It frustrates her infinitely and wishes that they could just be independent. After seeing the wizard who taught her a little morphing magic perish by overgiving, she shows contempt for anyone who is arrogant enough to misuse magic. As a servant of Caiyha, she also dislikes wasteful people.
Character History (Optional But Recommended)
Pre-Creation
Shanari’s mother was a cat Kelvic, and her father was human, supposedly an Inarta, that she never knew. They produced a pretty much normal human daughter. Her mother was bondmates with a rich man in Syliras, with a bad temper. He was harsh to her, yelled at her and punished her often, occasionally even beating her. But Shanari’s mother wouldn’t leave him, because she was loyal to him. He allowed Shanari to stay in his house with her mother, as long as she was his servant. She and her mother did basically everything their master didn’t want to do himself. Life wasn’t very good, but for a while it was okay. She had food and shelter. But one day her master beat her mother very badly. When she tried to stop him he turned on her. She tried again to convince her mother to leave, but she was again too loyal to her master and would not go. That night Shanari snuck out and left. She has been living in the wilderness ever since. One of the first things she did was try to find a wizard that could teach her morphing magic. She was feeling a little jealous, maybe, of her mother’s morphing powers that Shanari didn’t have. She finally did, but in the beginning of her training he was killed by overgiving. After that, she was scared to use magic for weeks after. Then she moved to the Wildlands, and since then she’s been busy just plain surviving to practice magic. Living in the wilderness, she has grown into a follower of Caiyha, as she shares many of the goddesses opinions, as she also abhors waste and loves nature.
