[Chana Miracuso]

Chana Miracuso Race: Ghost Gender: Female Age at Death: 17 years Age of Ghost: 1 year Birthday: 36th of Summer, 495 AV Birthplace: Syliras Appearance: Chana has reddish-brown, spiraling hair and pale skin dotted with freckles. Her eyes are a shade of hazel-brown, and is five foot three inches tall. She materializes wearing a black dress that seems in perfect condition, but in the back, right between her shoulderblades, is a horizontal slit. The slit was caused by a knife, and if one looks closely they can see a clean wound on her spine. She inherits her father's eyes and hair, but everything else points to her mother. She wears no shoes, and leaves her hair down. All she wears is her silk dress, and it ends at her knees. Character Concept Chana realizes she's a ghost. She's bubbly, but gets depressed easily and sometimes starts yelling unintelligibly. This is the product of paranoia that everyone is out to get her. Her zeal can easily boil over into fits of crazy laughing, which drives people away. Most often she's found, when she feels the need to materialize, in alleys moping. Character History Chana had an uneventful childhood, her mother, a Vantha, was both a nanny and a weaver whilst her father, a human, was a hunter and wilderness guide. She had two older brothers and a younger sister, and they were all three to four years apart. Chana often played with the children her mother watched over. Her family was of the higher class of merchants. Both parents are still alive, even after the djed storm, but mourn the loss of her and their oldest child. The other two children are still alive, but keep the family in business by taking over their parents' work: Her sister is a weaver and her brother a hunter and wilderness guide. She died during the Djed Storm of 512 AV, but not from the storm itself. She was merely one of the two thousand Sylirans that perished in the caverns they were sheltering in, but her death was not an accident. Rather, it was a murder by her eldest brother, Farrin Miracuso. He was an assassin by trade, and had enough experience to easily cover up the kill. He managed to steal her rations too, but was himself slain in a riot. Unlike her, he passed on, leaving his younger sister as a ghost.
