Appearence, Concept & History

Appearence

Sloane is a slight woman, of diminutive height and weight. Her frame is curvaceous enough that it is easy to tell that she is a woman and not a child, despite what her lack of height may initially lead one to believe. Years of working as a Bowyer have toned her arms, lending the woman a surprising amount of strength. Her thick blonde waves reach her mid back, and are generally kept braided back, out of her pale face. Her skin is creamy and prone to burning, and she has large blue eyes surrounded by thick lashes. Her nose is dainty and sloped, her mouth plush and pink.

Concept

Generally quiet and reserved, Sloane is a thoughtful young woman, not prone to reckless actions. Despite her calm nature, she isn't one to let other's walk all over her, or wrong those she loves. In such matters she tends to have two very distinct reactions; for her family and friends, she is willing to fight tooth and claw, but when it comes to her own well-being she tends to act without care of what may happen to her. Through her life she has lived with a "things could always get worse" mentality and due to this she is less likely to allow chances to slip by, instead putting her all into what she believes in and wants for herself.

Pre-Creation

Born in Syliras, Sloane is the youngest child of a talented Bowyer by the name of Arnhall Grey. At a young age, she lost her mother Odella to illness, leaving Arnhall to raise Sloane and her three siblings on his own. Though Arnhall did his best to raise his children well, there was only so much that he could do, and so Sloane was raised in a home lacking a feminine, maternal touch.

At the age of 17, Sloane became Arnhall's apprentice and began the long process of learning all the tricks of his trade. Her first complete creation was her short bow, a weapon that the young woman hold close to her heart as it is the physical representation of her and her father's close relationship. It was during this time that Sloane began to learn Fratava, as it was a useful language to know when trading for supplies.

During the Fall of 516AV, Sloane decided that a change was needed to expand her craft, and so with a heavy heart she decided that it was necessary to leave Syliras in search of a city to make a name for herself. The city she settled on was Riverfall, and so in mid Fall she began her journey, travelling with a small band of traders through the dangerous Cyprhus plains. Despite all the precautions they had taken to ensure their trip would end well, tragedy struck in the form of Zith, intent on killing and feasting on the merchants. Sloane was able to escape the horde by sheltering under an overturned wagon until the attack was over.

Post-Creation

--ph--

Once the party had returned to Endrykas, Sloane was quickly claimed by the Firelash Pavilion, who had been in want of more members, specifically females as potential wives. Confused and lost in this strange new land, Sloane assumed her fate to be much worse; that she had been taken against her will as something akin to a slave. This preconception combined with a rather awkward language barrier made Winter a difficult season for the Pavilion as a whole.
