Pa'haite

[Pa'haite]

Pa'haite Physical Description Name: Pa'haite (puh-hai-teh) Race: Konti Age: 17 Birthday: 3 Spring 496 Pa'haite has the typical features of a small Konti girl. Her hair is a shimmering white, draped in subtle curls over her shoulders. Her skin is porcelain and smooth, grazed with the typical delicate scales. Standing no higher than 5 feet, her structure is fragile and small. Calm fills her pale green eyes. Despite her age, she is considered, and appears, very young, being that she is a Konti. Because of this most percieve her as a child, around the age of 8 or 9. She can normally be found in very simple, airy plain clothing. No matter what is being worn, however, she will always wear a special, dark grey scarf over her mouth and nose. Because of her extended bouts of illness that she has grown up with, her immune system has become extremely sensitive. Her scarf provides extra protection against inhaling any sort of pathogens. It is also her only reminder of her mother. On her right forearm her Gnosis mark is clearly visible. It consists of three large exotic, tropical flowers, all of them brilliantly colorful. Within them are further images, trees and ferns and other flowers, many known as growing on ocean shores. Fish dart around, some going from flower to flower. Insects, birds, and so much other life flow within the flowers, creating an ever changing, flowing, moving picture. Around these flowers are small blue swirls that flow like small streams of water. Character Concept Pa'haite finds all the company she needs among plants and animals. They are her passion and her life. A phylonurist, she has abandoned society and dedicated herself fully to them. She very rarely interacts with other actual people anymore, and if she must, does so silently. If communication becomes an absolute necessity, she pulls out a small slab of rock and chalk from her pocket and will communicate through written word. If anyone does receive the chance of meeting her, she is very calm and generally amiable towards others. Being so isolated from society for nearly all of her life, she has a very poor grasp of emotion and can come off outwardly as awkward or even cold. The one thing she cannot stand, however, is blatant destruction of natural life. She will do whatever is necessary to stop or fix it, desperately and truly loving the plants and creatures around her as if they were close family. The only place Pa'haite will remove her scarf is in the water. As a Konti she has gills, so she is able to stay under for as long as she wants. She can be found here either caring for the underwater life, or simply cooling off, especially when she is sick. Pa' never really swam much during her time on Konti island, avoiding the popularity of many of the swimming areas that tended to be crowded with tourists. Now, in Mathews Bay, she has been able to find many places where she can swim in solitude. She enjoys the peace there is underwater, especially reveling in the quiet.

Character History She wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Paventhis, a typical Konti woman, her light, just barely sun-kissed skin complimented by her long silky hair that had just enough blond not to be white. Eyes crystal blue, lips thin and a faint peach color. A glassblower since a child, she had grown up an average life, developing her skills in creating magnificent works of art and structures. He was just as average as far as Akalak men go. Skin a midnight purple, he had the muscles and strength the Akalak were known for. Avaraite, as was his name, was an experienced warrior, trained in a variety of combat styles, and had seen his fair share of bloodshed. He had had a son prior to their meeting, an Akalak boy sired with a human woman who had died soon after. He came with is father to Konti island and became the older half-brother. When the two came together, the result was a small Konti girl, Pa'haite. She was light skinned, with white hair, that at the time was much curlier than it is now. She was perfectly fine at birth, but after a season became very ill. Countless efforts by healers met no results, and it was concluded that, while the illness wasn't fatal, there was simply nothing that could be done to cure it but to let time run its course. As she grew older, this illness would cycle unpredictably, leaving her healthy for a while, only to return again. Pa'haite became used to being sick often, and accepted a life stuck in the house. As such she rarely spoke to anyone outside of her family and the occasional healer who would check up on her. At the age of about six one small act by one of these healers changed everything. Feeling pity for the girl, she brought her a pot full of flowers while she was yet again stuck in bed. Pa'haite took to it immediately, staring and feeling the petals with complete fascination. Their small fragility reminded her much of herself. Seeing her daughter's immense interest in the plants, her mother determined it to be her "craft" and promptly provided her with a garden. Pa'haite was allowed to spend all the time she wanted in it. A healer warned her mother, however, that her constantly sickness had all but crippled her immune system, and so she was allowed out only if she wore a scarf over her mouth and nose. Pa'haite came to dedicate all of her time in that garden. The flowers and plants became the friends and her family. Eventually, what little social ability she had dwindled until she came to speak to no one except her mother and her garden. It became her life. Years later, on her sixteenth birthday, she recieved a new, more beautiful scarf from her mom. It was thin enough to breathe through, but thick enough to properly protect her. In thanks, she gave her mother and father a grand tour of her garden. That was the last she would ever see of either of them. Disappearing from Konti island, Pa'haite now lives at Mathews Bay near Zeltiva, bearing the Gnosis mark Phylonura, serving Caiyha and caring for the plants and animal life and restoring it to its true beauty and balance. She still goes through cycles of being ill, but the sickness is not contagious and simply weakens her for a time. Flashback Threads Sleepsong
