Name Sayani Wisteria
Age 21 years old
Birthday 1st of Winter, 492 AV
Race Symenestra
Gender Female
Languages Symenos (Fluent), Common (Basic)

Height 6'
Weight 140lbs

Appearance Tall, slender and graceful, Sayani is not unlike other Symenestra in build. Her limbs are long, and her skin is pale, making possible to see the grey veins running under it. Her eyes, a dark shade of purple, are contemplative and hard-to-read, unless she is on a hunt, when they can shine viciously and full of passion. Sayani's face usually bare a serious and emotionless semblance, only broken by a half-smirk that can either be menacing or ironic, depending on the situation. A full smile from the Symenestra is rare, but when it happens, her whole face seems to change, and she becomes much more caring and sweet. Her hair, straight and colored with very light grey, is worn loose, and, although she loves hair adornments, its rare to see her actually using it, unless it's a very special occasion. When she needs to focus on a task like reading or writing, however, Sayani will tie her hair in a loose braid, that she will undo as soon as she finishes.

Personality
Quiet, patient and observant, everything she does is carefully planned. Every word, every movement and everything she does have a reason behind it. That's why many think the Symenestra's personality is in constant change, while in truth remains the same, only changing the surface so she can achieve her goals.

Deep inside, there is a raw passion for power, blood, suffering and chaos, although Sayani feels guilty about it, working hard to control and restrain this urges. The only time she lets everything in her true nature show is when she is hunting, when she allows herself to only feel, and not think. For that reason, Sayani prefers to hunts alone.

Despite all these impulses, she can feel love and she can feel the urge to care for another, although this is something rare. Blood ties hold no significance to her, but friendship does, and when someone manages to win her trust, be it family or not, they will have won her love. Sayani cares deeply for those she loves, and she will go out of her way to help them, even if they never know it.

There are, however, passions she allows herself to feel. Sayani loves knowledge, always researching, learning or reading, even if said knowledge won't be of use of an immediate future, she is sure she will use it someday. And she loves the Gods and Goddesses. There are those she worships and some she dislikes, although she respects them all, if only because they have attained great amounts of power and knowledge.


History
Sayani's history begins even before her birth. Her mother, Sorana, was an Esterian, and wanted to carry her own child. Convincing her husband, Sorana gave birth to Sayani, a birth that was, as expected, extremely traumatic, and Sorana, although she survived, was left too scared to be able to have any other child, and accepted the use of surrogates. But that meant that Sayani was the only one considered pure of blood, and that influenced heavily in all her childhood.

Sayani grew up with all her mother's expectations, and she tried to fulfill it, studying and training so much until that became part of her. There was very little she did just for enjoyment, and when she did, it was hidden so her mother wouldn't know. Little by little, these times diminished, until Sayani became fully dedicated to always improve. This behavior made her grow farther from both her father and her brother, and only stayed close to her sisters because the two younger girls wouldn't leave her alone for too long. After her father died, Sayani just intensified even more her search for knowledge.

This search lead, at certain point, to religion, and Sayani studied it eagerly. Although Viratas was a God she respected and worshiped to a degree, he still wasn't the God she was searching for, and she kept trying to find a God who could truly raise all the faith she knew she could feel.

Given to her by her father, this is probably her most prized possession, except by her journal. Sayani won this when she showed her father a drawing she had made, saying she wanted to be an artist. This was when she was still very young, but even after all the time, Sayani still has these tools, as a memory of her father, and probably the reason she dedicates herself to drawing and painting as a pastime.

 
House
Kalinor House
20x20 in size, pear shaped, and includes a hearth, bunk, chest, chair, and small table.

Like other houses in Kalinor, Wisteria web's hang from the ceiling, with the entrance located at the top, and the floor can be reached through a silk rope. With no windows, there are 'rooms', divided by curtains. One is the equivalent of the living and dining room, with a hearth, a central table and two chairs around it. The second one is Sayani's bedroom, with her bunk, a niche in the wall where she stores her clothes. Her books, quills, and other more precious things, however, she keeps locked inside a chest, located near her bed. Another room, her mother's, is filled with clothes and fabrics, waved by the woman herself. The largest one is a junction of the room that belonged to her younger sister, and has been joined with her brother's. The last room on the house is also the smallest one, with nothing more than some drawings and plants scattered around it. It belongs to her adopted sister.

Relationships

Postby Sayani on December 6th, 2013, 12:52 am


Family



Image
Name Sorana Wisteria
Age 41 years old
Birthday 30th of Fall, 472 AV
Race Symenestra
Gender Female

Standing at 6"2', Sorana is tall, imposing and slender, her wavy white hair reaching her waist. The red eyed woman is exigent and strict, always demanding the best of every people. An Esterian, Sorana believes in the purity of blood, and demanded it with all her strength. She ended up convincing her husband she could bear a child, and thus, Sayani was born. Although she did survive the birth, it left the woman scared of another one, accepting the use of surrogates for the other children her husband wanted so much. However, her believes haven't changed, and she favors Sayani above the others, putting pressure on her daughter to be the best on whatever she does.

Name Duran Wisteria
Age 40 years old (age of death)
Birthday 30th of Fall, 469 AV
Race Symenestra
Gender Male

Duran's figure, with a height of 6'5" and a stern and serious face with piercing violet eyes, gives off an impression of power and strictness, contrasting with the gentle and caring personality. Although he was strict when needed, Duran was also merciful, kind and cared for every child, even the mixed blood he adopted. To him, his race and family was more important than his own life, but purity of blood was not. Sayani loved her father, and his death on a hunt, while trying to protect her and her brother, left everyone on her family mourning. Even Sorana, with all her strict personality, felt deeply the loss of her husband.

Name Vardan Wisteria
Age 20 years old
Birthday 23rd of Summer, 493 AV
Race Symenestra
Gender Male

With 5'9", the first child born from a Vantha surrogate, Vardan is proud and competitive, wanting always to be the best. Deep down, what he wants is to feel worthy on his mother's eyes, knowing Sorana's prefers his sister. Vardan relationship with Sayani was, during a great part of their lives, one of friendly competition on even the smallest things. However, when he took Nalissa to hunt and returned alone, their relationship was forever lost. Sayani, on her grief, left her brother aside, and Vardan, not knowing how to deal with what he felt was another rejection, began to get much more aggressive in competitions. Sayani felt his attempts to win attention pathetic, and the bond between them was broken. However, Vardan did not stop to search for recognition, and he began to try to become his father, an attempt to prove his family he was also worth of their Web.

Name Nalissa Wisteria
Age 17 years old (age of death)
Birthday 10th of Spring, 495 AV
Race Symenestra
Gender Female

Lean and gracious, with 5'5", the third born was like her father in personality. Gentle, caring, cheerful and always curious, Nalissa was ready to forgive even the most gruesome acts, so much that she could easily be manipulated and pushed around. Sayani cared much about her, seeming cold and distant, but always being there when her sister really needed her. Nalissa easily became a dancer, although her curiosity pushed her to wanting to go to the surface. She convinced Vardan to take her on a hunt, an event that ended tragically, as only the brother returned.

Name Nissa Wisteria
Age 17 years old
Birthday 1st of Spring, 496 AV
Race Mixed Blood
Gender Female

The youngest in the family, Nissa was once brought into the Web by Duran, and the Symenestra refused to say anything about the girls origins. Sorana refused to accept the girl as her daughter, as Nissa was a mixed blood in the eyes of any Symenestra, and worst, lacked the abilities the other members of the family had. Nalissa, on the other hand, welcomed the slightly younger girl like her own twin, and both of them followed Sayani around, who ended up considered Nissa like her sister, too. After Nalissa's death, Sayani only got closer to the younger girl.
Nissa is intelligent, in her own way, although she is too innocent and seems to be clueless about everything around her that is not plants and her older sister.

Pets



Image
Name Aloe
Age 128 days (end of Winter)
Birthday 73rd of Fall, 513 AV
Race Cat
Gender Male
Adopted on: What Are Kittens For?

A small black kitten with golden eyes, Aloe is a very lively cat, following Nissa around and always asking to play. Despite being affectionate, sleeping together with the young girl and always searching for attention, Aloe doesn't like to be petted for too long, and usually bites when this happens. It's only when Nissa isn't around that Aloe goes for Sayani for attention.


Image
Name Ivy
Age 128 days (end of Winter)
Birthday 73rd of Fall, 513 AV
Race Cat
Gender Male
Adopted on: What Are Kittens For?

Like his brother, Ivy is a small black kitten, with green eyes. In the morning, and whenever he feels hungry, Ivy can get extremely loud, until his needs have been met. However, once this happens, the small cat will turn calm and quiet, following Sayani or Nissa around much like his brother, but instead asking for food or petting. He would be a very quiet cat, if he didn't get hungry with more frequency than normal. And, unlike his brother, he prefers to play by himself, chasing anything that moves.
