[K'Sabe]

K'Sabe Nastra "It's my life, It's now or never, I ain't gonna live forever, I just want to live while I'm alive." Basic Information: Race: Konti Birthday & Age: 45 of Winter 477 AV, 34 Gender: Female Languages Fluent: Kontinese Basic: Common Poor: Tukant Physical Description: Sabe is a slender woman with almost waist long light ash blonde hair that is silvery white in moonlight and more golden in sunlight, her hair is straight and is parted in the middle, in very humid air it gets a bit curly at her temples and her eyes are a deep sea green. Her scales cover the top of her hands and spread up a bit past her wrist, her ankles and calves are also patterned by scale spirals, her back and forehead are also covered in pearlescent very light bluish pink scales. She is tall for a Konti, about 5'10" and weighs around 145 Ibs, she is not overly curvy but she's no flat plank either. Sabe is a bit more tanned than normal for a Konti as she loves being in the sun. She wears a long sea green dress with wide sleeves that reaches below her hands and a belt resting over her hips, the colour of the dress accenting her otherwise pale colours. Character Concept: She is mostly calm, collected and dislikes pure fighting but Sabe also has a strong tendency to act more eager and argumentative than other Konti and is not afraid of confrontations though she'd prefer to avoid an actually fight. Sabe enjoys arguments but prefers them to be on a casual level and she is more likely found with other people even though she is wary of large crowds as she can sense the general atmosphere and if it is to negative she will leave. But it is against her nature to hide in a shell so she cannot cut herself off from others completely she is just a bit more careful of getting attached to others. Her favourite animals are dogs, especially the Imperial Watcher, horses and birds, Sabe has always loved trying to get a bird's trust, feeding it so it gradually gets used to her presence until it eats out of her hand. One day she hopes to gain a mark from Eywaat so she can start understanding and communicate with birds, her favourite bird are ravens. Other than Eywaat Sabe also worships Avalis, Laviku and Rak'keli Character History: K'Sabe was born on Mura and as most other Konti she never knew her father, only that he was from Sunberth originally. Sabe was sternly but lovingly raised by her mother, grandmother and three older sisters, being an outgoing argumentative child from the start, asking why for everything until someone told her sharply to stop for awhile that usually only kept her quite for half an hour or so. Sabe was one of the few Konti born with a gnosis mark from Rak'keli and she has all her life had a strong want to help people and animals alike, while she doesn't care much for criminals she would not be able to see a person suffer despite their actions. Sabe doesn't remember the exact age that she realised her gift only that she was relatively young, being among a group of people really affected her mood more than usual. With her gnosis mark from Rak'keli she got more sensitive about atmospheres as she despite being fond of arguments she felt emotionally bad when it is serious and if she happened upon some negative atmosphere she'd always leave, luckily on Mura she was never forced to deal with much negative emotions. Sabe's oldest sister died in childbirth though and that dealt a lot of emotional stress on Sabe especially as her grandmother died three years earlier and the sadness that inhabited her home around those times really took it's toll on her psyche. After that she prefers to keep a distance to others but she is not the type to hide in a shell, she is too open and outgoing for that, but she does prefer to keep an emotional distance to others as it makes it easier for her. For many years Sabe had also been around the Opal Temple a lot, both reading in the library and helped caring for the Ivaski being bred there, getting used to the daily care for a dog and also some basic knowledge of whelping and sickness. In her late twenties she also went to Syliras for two seasons to see how it was like outside Mura. It was when she was 31 that her mother gave her an Imperial Watcher puppy, barely 3 months old, that a merchant had with him to Mura, hoping the dog would help protect her daughter when she finally decided to leave Mura. As she aged Sabe got more and more restless, she loved Mura and the people on it but she found that living her whole life here before seeing some new things would only suffocate her. Though her indecisiveness and love for her family kept her in Mura until her 34 year when she finally decided to leave the White Isle for someplace new. She wasn't sure she wanted to travel around as she feared what that might do to a horse if she bought one so instead she bought passage for herself and Eira on a trading ship heading for Riverfall where she hoped to get the experience she wanted, to wake up and not now what may happen that day.

Eira Sex: Female Age: 3 Height: 35.5 in (90 cm) Length: 6 feet (2 m) Weight: 127 Ibs (58 kg) Characteristics: Kind, intelligent, loyal, protective, playful. An intelligent, 3 year old Imperial Watcher named Eira, it was a gift from Sabe's mother and by now the two have a deep bond, they communicate mostly with body lanuage but Sabe often speaks with Eira anyway. Eira has a harlequin colour with short, thick silky fur and dark brown eyes, her legs are long and slender but strong and her paws are round and large. Eira's head is long and rectangular in shape, her muzzle is deep, with a pronounced stop. All in all Eira has a well built, muscled body that moves with elegance and strength despite her large size. Eira is well behaved, calm and extrememly loyal to Sabe but she get occasional throwbacks when she tends to behave like a pup again, playing tricks or bouncing around chasing shadows, a leaf or flecks of light. Against other people Eira is indifferent and calm, though if it is a friend of Sabe she'll get more friendly, but won't hesitate to protect Sabe if she feels the Konti is threatened, and her threats are backed up by sharp teeth and claws and a great strength in addition to her large body. Eira doesn't like being seperated from Sabe but if the Konti woman wants her to stay behind the Imperial Watcher will relucantly do so, and while she doesn't get seperation anxiety Eira tends to get sullen and irritated at those times until Sabe returns. This isn't very common as the only reason Sabe would leave Eira at home is if she needs to go someplace where dogs ar not appreciated. (Eira is named after the Swedish/Norwegian version of the name, not the Welsh, as it is based on an old Norse goddess of healing and medicine as well as meaning "mercy".)
