Race: Konti Age: 23 Birthday: 17th of Winter (487AV) Gender: Female Height: 5'6"

[Lakara]

Appearance Like all Konti, Lakara possesses a slender frame with pale, luminous skin. Her Konti scales shimmer in various pinks, blues and lilacs in the light, and they are mostly visible on her hands, feet and neck, and also upon her forehead. Though she is slim, she is muscled, though not entirely visibly, mostly from working with horses, or general outdoor activities. Silvery hair falls midway down her back, and she sees through light sapphire eyes. Her Gnosis mark takes the form of Rak'keli's Rakanivas twisting round the back of her right shoulder. Personality As with all Konti, Lakara is relatively quiet, and she tends to stay as far away from conflict as she can. She is a pacifist, and she will heal anyone who needs it, friend or foe. She seems to have a natural affinity for animals of all kinds, and this is further reinforced with her Konti gift. She is fairly independent, though if she knows she needs help, she will ask for it, rather than trying to struggle through on her own. She does not have many friends, although she hopes that she can change that. Konti Gift All Konti possess a unique gift, and Lakara is no exception. Unlike her older sister who empathises with sea creatures, Kara’s empathy lies with animals. She is very sensitive to how they are feeling, easily picking up on their emotions at close range. This helps with her healing, as she can easily tell if they hurt. While she can’t always tell where the pain is, she is slowly getting better at fine-tuning this area of her gift. She also hopes to one day be able to gain a sense of their thoughts, which would also further her with aiding any healing she may be called upon to perform. Religion FORTHCOMING

Her mark appears on the back of her right shoulder as the Goddess’ two serpents, the Rakanivas, twisting round each other. The Konti is deeply faithful to Rak’keli, and she made the traditional vow to heal all, even if it was her who inflicted the wound in the first place. Lakara has had her mark since birth, though it is only now that she is truly confident with it use. She hopes to gain a second mark very soon, and this is her ongoing quest.   Items CLOTHING White tunic - 3/4 sleeves, thigh length White pants Leather belt Boots - light grey, ankle Reversible white/dark grey hooded cloak WEAPONS 1 pair of Suvai EQUIPMENT 1 Waterskin 1 Backpack which contains: 1 Set of Toiletries (comb, brush, razor, soap) Food for a week 1 eating knife Flint & Steel HOUSING Lakara has a room in The Sanctuary at Riverfall, run by Kavala.

Her Konti Gift enables her to see what the owner of a certain object saw when it was last handled just by touching said object. Abstract: Out of all her siblings, Aela is the one Lakara is closest to. As twins, they have always been there for each other through the stages of their lives. Aela is the first one Lakara goes to with a problem or a secret, and she will always drop whatever she is doing to help her. Despite being so different, Lakara thinks of her twin as an extension of herself. Sheva Full Name: Selvaria Varanti (PC’s CS) Relationship: Sister Race: Konti Age: 25 Appearance: Quite tall, short blonde hair and pale blue eyes. Info: Very independent, strong willed and opinionated. She is respectful of others, and while kind, she is a warrior at heart. She has heaps of energy and is something of a tomboy. Abstract: Being Lakara’s older sibling, Sheva is the one the Konti looks up to. While Lakara doesn’t use the weapons herself, she admires her sister’s skills with Suvai and is generally in awe of Sheva’s grace when using them. She finds it interesting that their Konti Gifts are the same, yet opposites at the same time. Sheva has an empathy towards sea creatures, and while Lakara is very occasionally a little jealous with this affinity for the sea and its denizens, she loves her sister dearly. Liel Full Name: Lielula Varanti (PC’s CS) Relationship: Sister Race: Konti Age: 20 Appearance: Small and thin, has violet eyes and white-blue hair usually decorated with cloth, flowers or shells. Info: Ambitious and respectful, Liel has a great passion for medicine. She is very aware that everything in the world is connected in some way. She is very empathetic due to her Konti Gift – Liel can feel deeply for other and experience their pain very acutely. Abstract: Liel is the baby of the family, and Lakara often feels the need to look out for her younger sister even though Liel is more than capable of looking after herself. She shares her interest in herbs and medicine, and when she was living back in Mura often envisioned the pair opening up some sort of store together. She loves her younger sister a huge deal, and misses her a lot.
