Race: Kelvic
Birthday & Age : Summer, 502 AV 6 years old.
Gender: Female
Standing at about 5'4, the Kelvic Arabella is hardly seen as imposing. The young woman has a slender figure with wiry muscles that depicts the trait of a hard worker used to physical labour. Her legs are long and muscled, clearly dancer's legs. The young woman may not seem strong but appearances are deceiving, Arabella is a good deal stronger then she seems due to her Kelvic nature and her bestial form. Years of hard work and rough treatment have taken their toll on her skin, old bruises and scars mar the once smooth flesh, calluses on her hands and feet as well. On the inside of her left wrist she bares a brand she was given as a small child, a slave brand that would clearly mark her should she be lost or run away. She also has marks around her neck where she has had collars on her neck.
In the hot days, Arabella can be seen sporting sunburns since she has fair skin, something she curses a great deal. Long white-blonde curls often fall across her face and over her shoulders, halting at the middle of her back, something she takes great pride in. An obvious sign of her Kelvic nature would be her beautiful amber slit eyes, quite piercing in nature. Her rather thin lips are often drawn into a frown or a look of concentration as she tends to her duties and such. She has pretty bone structure it has been said, but her nose has taken more punishment then the rest of her, having been repeatedly broken so that it would never look quite right, healers could only do so much. Due to her being a slave, Arabella has a limited choice of garments to actually wear. She has a dancer's outfit, used for entertaining her master or his guests, tiny little bells sewn on a short top that shows her midriff and a skirt with a long slit on the side. She also has a white dress to wear, though it's old and has holes in it. And of course her most common slave outfit she always has, for it is her own skin and nothing else, so demeaning...
In her bestial form, Arabella is truly a beautiful sight. Her white tiger form shows none of the scars or pains she has in her human form, in her tiger form she feels free. Quite large in size, the white tiger still retains her speed and agility. Beautiful white and black stripes dance all over her body. The only thing that seems off on the tiger would be the broken tail, another sign of her slavery for it had been done so she could be identified should she attempt escape in that form.
Despite the fact that Arabella is a powerful white tiger in her bestial form, she seems to lack a feral spirit. Perhaps it was the years of slavery that suppressed such a feeling or perhaps it was always her nature, but she is a pushover for the most part. Being a Kelvic, Arabella feels a certain degree of loyalty and a need to find someone to bond with, but due to the suffering she has felt through slavery, she is terrified of bonding with anyone, so she represses her need and in doing so, represses a part of her. Arabella is shy and unsocial for the most part mostly because she is afraid of people as a whole, cowering in their presence whether they wish to harm her or not, she lacks trusting in anyone. Arabella has a high pain tolerance due to her years being beaten and whipped. She does have a slight stubborn streak in her but it normally loses out against her masters' wishes. One would think Ara has no temper since she never has been known to strike out or get angry, but it all boils under the surface. She never forgets a slight, never forgives, always remembers...
During one of her brief stays with one of her masters, one of his children, a young son had been rather kind to the skiddish Kelvic. He helped her develop something she never would have been able to develop on her own, a way to defend herself. He taught her unarmed combat, though the lessons didn't continue long before they were caught. He was punished as was Arabella and she lost her teacher then.
She is unable to write and can barely read, though she has no interest in either. There are few pleasures to be found in slavery but there are a few and Arabella finds them when she can. She is a Kelvic of simple pleasure and something that helps her escape the daily pains is her dancing. How the young Kelvic loves to dance when no one else is around, weave and flow like silk, her pain forgotten, throw to the wind that would often dance through her hair as she danced. She would be made to dance for her masters when it was their wish, dance for their guests as well, her feline grace and agility would add to her dancing and make it truly speak to them. Another simple pleasure that she could not be denied no matter how they tried was dreaming. How Arabella loved to dream, day-dreaming often got her in trouble but she didn't care. How she loved to see herself soar above this place, become more then what she was now, a lowly slave. She dreamed of a day when she wouldn't be passed from one slave market to another, a day when she could sleep in and tell someone no without fear of being beaten.
She would keep dreaming in grey until the day when color was brought into her life...
