Silarial Snowsong

[Silarial]

Silarial Snowsong Basic Information Race: Human, mixed Birthday: 14th of Winter, 494 AV (18 years old) Gender: Female Height: 5’4” Weight: 110 lbs Languages: Fluent: Vani Basic: Common Poor: —- Physical Description Unlike the normal Vantha, Silarial's skin is flawlessly fair, smooth like porcelain. Her features are soft and delicate, with a subtle hint of elegance that is often overshadowed both by her carefree attitude and childlike expressions. There is an air of innocence about her, most especially seen in the way she holds herself in front of other people. Her expressive puppy eyes are often found crinkled into a smile. If one is to ask what her best feature was, they would most definitely claim it was her bright, charming smile. Her hair is of a dark shade of brown, and it falls with gentle curls to the small of her back. Fringes of hair falls over her forehead and reaches just above her eyes. This frames her features quite nicely, giving her a nice, youthful look. Due to some circumstances, however, she now intends to grow them out in the near future. Character Concept Silarial is very curious, always wandering around and asking questions about her surroundings. This is often fueled by her deep sense of adventure and mischief, diving in all sorts of situations, both good and bad. People remark her as smart and quick-witted, often able to think her way out of trouble. She is generally sweet and thoughtful as long as she is not being mischievous. Many describe her as generous and compassionate, willing to share what she has to help someone in need. Rarely is she seen sad because of her spontaneous, cheerful, and bubbly personality. She loves the performing arts and often dreams of travelling the world as a dancer. There are times though that she can be stubborn, and she will not stop until she gets what she wants. Silarial is naive and a bit too trusting, and some people take advantage of this particular trait. She is quick to forgive, though she never forgets. Whenever she sees spiders or other hairy insects, her mind goes blank and she freezes out of fear. She's not bothered by seeing other people's blood, but seeing her own makes her go white as sheet. She hates boredom and stagnation above all and she believes that inactivity will one day drive her mad. Likes: Performing, Travelling, Learning new things, especially about different cultures, Friendly people Dislikes: Spiders, Stagnancy, Seeing her own blood Character History Unlike most of her kin, Silarial was born far away from Avanthal. Her mother, a newly-freed slave from Sunberth, gave birth to her while on the run from a crime she had not meant to commit. From a young age, Silarial was already traveling from city to city at her mother’s whims. She grew up without a father, and Thalassa was adamant that Silarial should know nothing about him at all. Silarial was physically abused by her mother, and the times when the bruises are not present on her body are far in between. On the Winter of 411 AV, mother and child returned to the wintry city of Avanthal. Thalassa’s maltreatment of her daughter worsened as seasons passed by, and soon it had been brought to the attention of Thalassa’s younger foster sister, Areeyah. After Silarial’s close brush with death, it was decided that custody for the young half-Vantha was to be passed to Areeyah. Thalassa was forbidden to see her own daughter ever again. Growing up was hard on the young Silarial. Because people knew that she was Thalassa’s daughter, she was not exempt from the unkind remarks that people had for the woman. Many believed that she would end up walking the same path as her real mother, but Areeyah would have none of it. She cared for Silarial as if the girl was truly her own daughter. She taught the young girl that family is not limited to those tied by blood, but to those tied to one by heart. The woman was such a good influence to the miserable girl: within seasons, Silarial was smiling and laughing once more. She learned how to conduct herself well around others, and soon earned the acceptance of her mother’s people. However, everything was not to be well for the young Snowsong. Sometime after her ninth birthday, Silarial decided it was time to make amends with her estranged mother. Instead of the usually sneering Thalassa, however, she witnessed the woman take her own life by hanging. The girl was in shock for a couple of days, and many were worried about her well-being. On the fourth day of her mother’s death, Silarial was responsive at last. Since then, however, a considerable change in her demeanor was observed. Gone was the shy and reserved little girl that she was before. Silarial had suddenly taken into enjoying pranks and talking with different people. Areeyah was happy that the girl had finally tried making her world bigger, but the circumstances that made her do so was alarming. The woman had not said a word, and until now, no one exactly knows why Silarial reacted as such. Lately, Silarial has been having dreams of finding her long-lost father. At the advent of Spring 513 AV, Silarial expressed this desire to Areeyah, much to the woman’s consternation. Whether or not the young Vantha could pursue this goal, only time will tell.

The presence of Morwens mark acts as antifreeze that warms the individuals blood and keeps them comfortable even in subzero temperatures. Exposed tissue can still freeze when faced with severe temperatures, but individuals are not at all prone to hypothermia if they are well protected against the weather. They may in fact even feel ‘comfortable’ in colder climates and indeed uncomfortable in warmer climates. At this stage, Ice Reavers can control the temperature of ice, melting it or freezing it in small portions. It is not unheard of for an Ice Reaver to scoop up a pot of snow, tap their gnosis, and have a pot of ice water instead ready for cooking. Ice Reavers at this level have the ability to tell how thick a piece of ice is - such as the surface of a lake - and can determine whether it is safe or not to hold weight. At this level, Ice Reavers can tap their gnoses and shape ice that is already formed as sculptors might - loosening and causing it to shed away until the pattern they want is formed. Ice Reavers at this level cannot create ice nor manipulate large portions of ice. They cannot, for example, thaw portions of a surface of a lake, but they can take the existing ice and reshape it or melt it. They can only change the viscosity of about a standard 10 gallons of water at a time. If conditions are cold and they try to repeat this process over and over again to achieve what a higher level Ice Reaver could, they would find their manipulations refreezing behind them as they worked. Pet Name: Snowball Age: 1 season Size: Thirty four inches or almost 3 feet Weight: 19 lbs Characteristics: Aloof, Intelligent, Loyal Silarial found the orphaned Snowball, a Talderan Snow Hare, in one of her ventures in the northern wastes. Snowball is one of the two hares abandoned by its herd. Silarial decided to adopt her and bring her back home to Avanthal.
