She is an impressive twenty-three feet long as a snake, with a tapered paddle-shaped tail that propels her through the water with ease. Her smooth scales allow her to glide through the ocean and along the seafloor, though prevent her from moving around above the surface. As all saltwater Iyvess do, Sianya possesses gills which let her breathe underwater. Her scales are olive in tone, darkening around her head, but they lighten around her tail and belly. The color of her scales assist her in hiding along the ocean floor. Dhani This is the young Dhani's preferred form. Her human torso and arms aid her in more acrobatic endeavors, while her long, paddled tail and smooth scales lend Sianya swiftness underwater. The same tail that propels her also hinders her above ground-scales which reduce drag underwater give her no grip on the ground. Webbed skin between her fingers and under her arms allow her even more propulsion through the water. Her scales remain the same color they are in snake form. Small scales cover her head, limbs, and torso in lieu of skin or hair, and larger scales cover her lower body and tail. Human The color of Sianya's scales manifests itself in her human form as blonde hair. Her eyes are a blue the color of the Charbosi waters she was raised in, and combined with her hair color and Oceanus mark allow her to pass as a Svefra on land. Not much else carries over to her human form from her more serpentine shapes, and this sadly includes her gills. Sianya stands at five feet ten inches tall, placing her firmly on the taller end for her race. Personality Inquisitive by nature, Sianya would rather investigate a threat than eliminate it. She shares the Iyvess views of land dwellers to an extent-though she isn't openly hostile towards those who live above the water, she has no love for them. Sianya is fairly mellow most of the time and angers slowly. It takes a great deal to truly piss her off. Should someone ever drive her to that level, the Dhani woman would do everything in her power to exact revenge on them. She can be sweet, but she can also be very blunt. It's rare for her to conceal or obscure the truth, for she believes everyone has a right to honest knowledge. This doesn't mean that Sianya doesn't know when to hold her tongue-believe it or not, she can, and she does a fairly good job of it unless her patience is wearing thin. With a healthy curiosity about the world, Sianya seeks to learn everything she can before eventually finding and settling into her place. She is a dreamer, always preferring to think big, and possesses a very healthy imagination. This often leads to her zoning out of conversations, even while interested in the exchange. She is deeply faithful to Laviku, and possesses respect for Eyris, Dira, Siku, Makutsi, Rak'keli, and Nysel. Sianya is also grudgingly respectful of Vayt, though she's wary of him and treads carefully when practicing poison crafting. History Sianya was born in Charbosi to Chieftess Tasessurislakos, leader of a small and nomadic den that spent most of their time traveling between the territories of the peaceful Charodae and the pirating Svefra. Like most Iyvess, she was raised by her mother, though she had the opportunity to meet her father on several occasions and respected him deeply. She has a half-brother, Sarshassilivoss, who shares her father. Sianya differed from her sisters, something obviously apparent early on in her life that continues to remain obvious today. Where her sisters yearned to hunt and fight, Sianya preferred to explore and learn. Naturally, the Dhani developed a fondness for the den's frequent trips from the Suvan to Charbosi. It was on one of these trips that Sianya regretted for the first time in her hundred years of life her curious nature. Two dens joined up, eager to prove their worthiness to Laviku, for the sea god instructed them on their next target. Little did Islakos or any of the den she controlled know that this target would prove fatal, for it had a taste for Iyvess. Sianya along with her surviving den mates know nothing about the monster itself. They have hope that one day, their kin will be recovered. Until that day comes, her den is happy to build their numbers and train. The violent end bothered the Iyvess, even though the creature was most likely responsible for the death of her mother and sisters. Sianya felt there had to be a better way to end the thing's life without leading her den into a massacre. So she did the best thing she knew to do. Sianya studied. Her pursuit of the knowledge their den needs to take down her mother's killer aligned perfectly with the greater call of the Iyvess to return to land. One can only read Charbosi's books so many times before there truly is nothing else to take from them.
