Character Concept:

Personality: At heart, Naline is a very sweet person. She is compassionate, loyal, idealistic and friendly. However, thanks to her life she has been forced to harden herself and is now entirely sensible, pragmatic, aloof, constantly on guard and cynical to her bones. She can still be friendly towards other mixed bloods or people she has fought with on the battlefield. Her Zith blood can be seen towards her love for fighting, a trait she loathes in herself. She hates the Zith within her far more than the human side due to the level of cruelty she has seen others suffer at their hands.
Ethics: Naline will not help someone if it will disadvantage herself. Though she may loathe cold-blooded murder and slavery, she will willingly participate in both if she thinks the money involved is good enough. Despite this she will help others and is loyal to her comrades in war to the death.
Likes: Warfare, reading, sex, spending time with her comrades, cooking, singing
Dislikes: Cold-blooded murder, Zith, slavery, clothes, magic, humans, cities, nobility, children, animals

Pre-Creation History: Naline was born in Syliras to a human man and Zith woman who split apart very quickly after Naline's birth. Her father was a wealthy tailor and a very successful businessman. Her mother was a very young Zith living selfishly for the moment and considered a child someone else's problem. As a result, Naline was raised by her father. He remarried within a year of Naline's birth and had three children with his new wife, a human woman. Naline grew up alone, picked on by other children, ignored by her family as an inconvenience and wondering about the life her mother lived. When Naline was 13, she tried running away but was returned home by a watchful neighbour. After a very heavy beating, Naline swore to herself that she would be free soon. It took her two years, but by the time she was 15 Naline escaped with a family horse, food, clothes and several mizas. Outside the city at last, Naline began making the journey to find her mother and traveled towards the colony of Xy. She was 19 when she finally arrived, still dreaming of the mother in her fantasies. After searching, Naline found her mother and met her for the first time. She almost broke down in tears, but managed to keep her composure and introduced herself. This mother responded by claiming Naline as a slave and putting her in chains. Confused, Naline allowed herself to be led away. She finally worked out that neither of her parents loved or wanted her and began crying. Chained to twelve other slaves in a dark and lonely cell, Naline cried herself into absolute fury as she finally discovered the Zith blood she'd been hiding for so long. She raged and screamed, beginning to rip at her own face and hair, desperately looking for something to blame. Naline spent two years as a slave, constantly hiding the hate in her heart until finally her opportunity arrived and she murdered her own mother to escape. Naline became a vagrant, wandering through Mizahar, working as a mercenary when she could and never truly staying anywhere. At age 29, she was accused of the murder of an official in the city of Lhavit. Found guilty, Naline was thrown into Hai and told to survive. She did. Naline rose from criminal to respected muscle for the crime bosses and found a form of stability she had lost for so long. Hai became a terrible and very violent home for Naline. That was until she heard a comrade talking about "escape."
