AppearanceRace: mixed blood (drykas x chaktawe)
Gender: female
Age: 16
Birthday: Spring, 497
Birthplace: Endrykas
Appearance: Mihiya is around 5’5” tall with dark characteristics. Her eyes are a deep brown and framed by heavy, dark eyelashes. Her skin is a copper color, lighter than her Chaktawe sire, but darker than the tan skin of her Drykas mother. She carries the Chaktawe trait of two sets of eyelids. Her hair is thick and dark. She wears it in a single simple braid down her back with a wrap winding around one of the strands to represent her mother who died giving birth to her. Her Windmarks start on the back of her neck and wind down her spine. They are nearly serpentine in nature and wind in a double helix around the individual vertebrae.
Character ConceptMihiya often feels as though she belongs to two different worlds. Raised among the horseclans of the Drykas, she is accustomed to the lore of that world. Her mother’s death in childbirth and the subsequent raising of Mihiya by another woman denied her any knowledge of her father as the only thing her mother revealed about the man was that he was of the Chaktawe blood and that she had encountered him when she ventured into the Deserts, a voyage that she set out on to satisfy her restless spirit.
Mihiya inherited much of her mother’s restlessness and curiosity. She longs to know the man that loved her mother once and she longs to know all of the world. She has voiced an intention, several times, to visit the city of Syliras to see the various human races that dwell there. She also hopes to visit Eyktol to meet her father’s race, even though she fears she’ll never be accepted amongst them.
Mihiya is a very social creature, though despite her willingness to engage anyone and anything in conversation, she finds herself lonely most of the time. With her mother’s death, she has no biological family and while the family she was raised by treated her well, she feels as though she has become a burden and knows that soon she should be looking for a suitable husband. However, like her mother before her, Mihiya would rather roam the lands than chose a husband.
Character HistoryBorn as her mother died, Mihiya was raised by another Drykas woman who had been her mother’s cousin. Mihiya was always treated well, but often considered herself an outsider amongst her adoptive family. Her unique eyes set her apart as a half breed Chaktawe as well as her thick lashes and black hair and dark skin. As a toddler, just learning to walk, she was approached by a dun Strider who became her bonded. The small and delicately built mare soon became the creature to whom Mihiya was closest with. Though the mare, named Komali, was a good companion for the young Mihiya, she also gave flight to Mihiya’s dreams of travelling the world.
As she approached adolescence, Mihiya more and more frequently ventured from the Pavillion in which she was raised. Though she returned bearing game she had brought down, the true purpose of her trips was to explore the Cyphrus thoroughly.
Now, at age 16, her family has begun to hint that perhaps she should be searching for a suitable husband. Though she has put off most of these hints, she can’t help but know that they hope she will soon find a man that will suit her.
