Kanna Xynian
Appearance
Race: Mixed BloodZith-Human
Gender: Female
Age: Approximately 20
Birthday: Winter, 499 AV
Birthplace:UnkownKanna was born in Xy Colony to a slave mother and a Zith father. More info to come.
Appearance: At a whopping 5’2, Kanna inherited her father’s Zith genes in regard to her height. Her skin is a muted copper, with wild untameable black curls. Her figure is soft, due to an excessive appetite for sugary fruits, though she is by no means hefty thanks to increased metabolism by way of her father’s heritage. Her hair is in constant disarray, scorning her adoptive mother’s most stringent attempts at containment; often growing back thicker and much faster than a human’s after being trimmed. She bears two horrific scars on her back, just between her shoulders, that the Sylirians who found her believed to be from abuseIn actuality Hesia Cline, Kanna's birth mother, gouged the tell-tale wing nubs from her infant daughter's skin in an attempt to keep her from being identified as Zith..
Character Concept
Kanna is a sweet, simple girl. She can't abide sitting still for lessons and is perpetually late, which she blames on not being a morning personShe is more energetic at night, sharp eyed and eared and almost unerringly focused on whatever task she's pursuing. She grew up mastering the art of sneaking out of the orphanage at night to explore learning, after a few attempts gone awry that resulted in a burning backside and confinement to her room, to stay in the shadows to avoid the patrols. She is comfortable around people, though sometimes a little slower to pick up on social cues, and the constant being on her feet and juggling multiple heavy trays while weaving through a crowded tavern have awarded her more coordination and strength then expected from someone of her stature. She's picked up bits and pieces of languages from the various travelers that frequent her establishment, though mostly in the form of colorful curses and whimsical lymerics. All in all, Kanna is quite content with her life. Some nights, however, in especially dark moments, she can swear she hears an unintelligible whisper on the wind that stirs her blood. On these nights she is found to be a little sharper-tongued and argumentative.. Downright aggressiveDuring these intervals, Kanna's emotions flow hotter and she has a hard time listening to reason. Generally she'll avoid being around people, enclosing herself in her small apartment and eating far too much., some might say.
Character History
Sylirian Knights found an infant Kanna clutched in the arms of her mother’s corpse, just outside the walls of Syliras. She was malnourished and sickly, but the squadron took pity on her and brought her to the Welcome Home Children’s Orphanage. No one expected the baby girl to live long, but to the surprise of many Kanna made a voracious recovery. She lived the first seven and a half years of her life happily with a handful of other abandoned or orphaned children, spending days learning and afternoons stressing the home’s matron to no end with her wild antics, often sneaking away during the night to explore the laberynthian streets of the city. The season before Kanna’s eighth birthday, a kindly couple who were unable to procreate came to visit the orphanage. Aoyote and Herv fell instantly in love with the bright young girl and gifted her with the last name Xynian in hopes she would grow up and curry favor with the goddess of wealth. She lacked the focus and aptitude for anything business related, however, preferring instead to get a job as a maid at a local tavern upon coming of age. This suited the young woman, as she found she favored being at work in the evenings, who often felt more capable at night.
