Sira

[Sira]

Basic Information: Race: Kelvic (Wind Eagle) Gender: Female Height: 5' 6" Weight: 140lbs Age: 11 Date of Birth: 14th of Winter, 503 AV*Sira doesn't know her actual date of birth, just that it was some time in the winter. If anything, she considers the 1st to be her birthday. Physical Description Sira is slim and physically fit. She has the body of someone who has spent a long time honing it to perfection. Her hair is long and red with natural curls, and she either lets it hang down or ties it in a pony tail depending on what she is doing. Her penetrating golden eyes and sharp features hint at her beast side. On her left hand she bears the mark of Priskil, a small vortex of light that glows slightly. Sira's Wind Eagle form is large and powerful enough for a full grown man to ride on her back, if she lets them. Her feathers are a dark golden brown, with lighter feathers on her head. Her wings span 36 feet across, and her talons are large enough to grasp a walrus with little trouble. She has large, fierce golden eyes and a sharp yellow beak. In direct sunlight, her feathers take on a dark bluish tinge. Sometimes, when Sira shifts from her eagle form back into human, things go wrong. During the Djed Storm of 512, which occurred after Ivak's release, Sira was caught in the storm and forced into her human form. The transformation, however, was incomplete. Sira found that her skin remained the same dark hues that show up in her eagle form under the sun, and instead of hair, she found herself with red and gold feathers, shimmering with blue in the sun, that grew from her head, mimicking the shape of her hair, but not quite the same. While she was eventually able to return to her full human form, sometimes when she shifts she reverts to this form instead. Sira's Theme Song/Video Clothing Even out in the cold Sira tries to dress in as light clothing as possible, making it easier for her to undress and shift. On warmer days she may wear nothing more than her Katinu and, when she can get away with it nothing at all, unless you count her bow and the few arrows she carries. Sira will often wrap her bow and arrows in her katinu then shift and carry them in her talons, shifting back when she needs to fire. Despite her preference for nudity, she does own two full outfits. Outdoor Outfit: When Sira is out hunting she usually has little to nothing in the way of clothing on, preferring it that way so she can shift at will. She sometimes brings her Katinu with her, but rarely anything else. When she does wear clothes outside she wears a wool Katinu with a black strapless Vinati that clasps in the back. For pants she usually wears a loose fitting but warm wool bryda, and warm ankleboots. Outdoors Sira always has her bow with her and at least 3 arrows. She will often carry her bow in her beak or talons, or sometimes in a bag tied to her leg along with her sword. Indoor Outfit: Again Sira wears a strapless Vinati, but this one is red with gold trimming. Her Bryda is black with red designs. She wears black sandals and occasionally a red silk scarf. Sira does not have any piercings after she was injured once when shifting and nearly lost her eye to an eyebrow piercing. Character Concept Born among a society that venerates eagles, Sira is a paragon among oddities. Born to an Inarta mother and a Kelvic parent, she both belongs and does not belong. Some say her Wind Eagle form is a gift and she should be respected, others treat her as an outcast either due to jealousy or simply misunderstanding. Sira is a hunter and a warrior. She is an Endal, but she is not a rider. She is very picky about who she allows to ride her. Sira once was a fun loving woman, the life of the party, but after Aidara vanished she turned cold, devoting herself only to work, and nothing else. Deep down her passion still burns and she longs for the companionship she once knew, but does not believe she will ever find it again. She has lived through more in her short ten years of life than most Inarta see in decades, and her past haunts her everywhere she goes. A mother with a daughter who hates her, a kelvic without a bondmate, a favored who has lost faith in her goddess, Sira struggles to make it through each day. Early History Sira was born in the winter of 503 AV to a coupling between an Inarta mother and Kelvic father. Her father did not stay around long enough to even realize the woman was pregnant, and left long before Sira was born. The birth was a strange one, considering it was just one child, but other than that there was nothing amiss. Her mother did not even realize the baby belonged to the Kelvic for some time. By all appearances, Sira was Inarta through and through. She did have fierce golden eyes, but this was not unheard of, and was often a good sign. About a week and a half after she was born Sira shifted for the first time, changing into a Wind Eagle chick. Her mother was so startled she nearly ran from the room, but then the realization of what happened dawned on her. Her daughter was a Kelvic, and not just any Kelvic, she was a Wind Eagle kelvic. Sira's mother took the baby to the Council of Elders, asking what should be done. Needless to say, they were surprised by the child. After some deliberation, they decided to treat her like any other Yasi. Sira was raised in the nursery where her mother worked raising other children. She was always an outcast, either being made fun of for being a freak or simply because she held the other kids in awe. It was soon apparent that she would not be able to remain in the nursery until she was 8 like the other children. Within a year she was old enough to bear a child, but still hadn't the education to branch out as an adult. At age 3 she was sent to the youth section of the city and proved herself to be a fast and willing learner. She excelled at hunting and archery, her superior eyesight and reflexes giving her an obvious edge in her studies. By age six she had moved into the aeries with the riders, performing the same duties they would but never truly being one of them. After a year of being an Endal, Sira had still not made a name for herself other than the girl who can turn into a Wind Eagle. Certainly that tidbit alone made her rather famous throughout the city, but it was not the kind of attention she wanted. Some viewed her as an oddity, others as a freak. Sira's life was a lonely one, but she kept going on, hoping things would get better and people would start to view her for who she was and what she had done instead of what she was.

- - The Bond Sira had never truly planned on seeking out a bondmate, or even a rider. She knew that as a kelvic she was supposed to want that, and deep down perhaps she did. The Endal did seek kinship, but she was trying to find it on a broader level. Sira believed she had bonded not with a single entity, but with Wind Reach as a whole. All of that would change soon enough, when she discovered what it truly meant to bond. One afternoon early in the fall the courtyard of the sky was packed to the brim as a fire dancer impressed the Inarta with a free show of his skill. Sira, Aidara, and her twin sister Sairque were all in attendance, though none were there with each other. Addy watched from atop a wall while Sira and Sai struggled for view in the crowd below. A fight was started between Sairque and a volatile leopard kelvic. Sira jumped to the flight leader's aid, knowing it was her duty to defend the woman at all costs. Sira never expected things to go further than that, but after the crowd dispersed, Sai took Sira aside to speak with her. Sira was a curiosity, a puzzle posed by her animal form and the complicated past of the Wind Eagles. She was a perfect puzzle for Sai to unravel. Aidara followed them, working her way into the conversation and inviting herself along, not knowing exactly what she was getting into. Sira put on a small show for the women, demonstrating what she could do with her shifting and how she could hunt by herself. Both sisters were quickly enthralled with the other woman, and both liked her in more ways than just friends. Sira too found she had a strange attraction to Aidara, and in fact it scared her. It was deeper than physical attraction, and something she had never experienced before. Sai quickly realized how Addy felt for Sira, an started acting strangely when it became apparent that Sira felt the same way for the healer. It wasn't until they had all met up on the beach at the beginning of winter for a cold swim that things truly went south. Jealousy ruined the trip. Feeling like her sister was trying to steal away the woman that Addy had set her sights on (still somewhat unaware of how she felt for Sira), Addy attacked her sister in the water. The resulting fight nearly put a rift in the twin's relationship for good. Sira could only watch helplessly and did what she could to try to help things. After all of that, Aidara still agreed to go on a date with Sira, much to the relief of the kelvic. She still didn't quite understand it, but somehow Aidara had wormed her way into Sira's heart. By the end of the first date the two women had bonded as Kelvic and master, though the term master was used lightly. the decided that neither of them could ever do with having or being a master, and their relationship was one made of love, not servitude. It wasn't long after the first date that the women also bonded as Endal and Wind Eagle. In truth it was all rather shocking for the both of them. Sira had never intended to take on a rider, determined to prove that she could take on the world alone. Aidara was an odd choice for an eagle, having received a healing mark at birth, and making her unable to kill. Luckily for the healer, Sira was quite capable of hunting by herself, carrying her own boy and hunting for the city effectively while Addy flew along and served as a medic for the rest of the Endal. Resigning themselves to lives alone, the two women had found each other and entered into a life different than anything either of them expected.

- - Natalie Name: Natalie Birthday: Winter 24th, 511 AV Age: >1 Year Race: Kelvic (Kestrel) Weight: 25 lbs (human), 31 lbs (avian) Size: 6' 3" (length) Wingspan: 15" 5" Born to Endals Sira and Aidara, Natalie came into a world filled with love. Her mothers both prominent figures in Wind Reach society, Natalie had it made. She wanted for nothing, and few Inartan children had what she had. However, as spoiled as she was turning out to be, would it come to ruin her as an adult? From the moment she was born all eyes were upon her. Would she turn out to be like her mother, another wind eagle kelvic, or would she live her life as a normal Inartan child. It wasn't a long wait. Soon after her birth, Natalie surprised both her parents by escaping her crib one morning, waking Sira and Aidara with the tickle of her tail feathers as she attempted to perch on their faces. Just like a toddlers first steps is rejoiced, so is a Kelvic's first shift, and Natalie proved to be (in her parents eyes) the most beautiful Kestrel there ever was. The story of Natalie's birth is something of a mystery, since both her mothers assure everyone who asks that there was no father. The truth of the story is much simpler. One day while wandering the halls of Wind Reach Sira met a man. Lonely and bored, Sira led the man out of the tunnels and back to his campsite. When she was attacked on the way home by wolves, he saved her, and Sira rewarded him with the best reward a beautiful woman can offer a man. That reward resulted in the conception of a daughter, but of course, Sira and Addy will never admit that truth. On the first day of Spring, in the year 512 AV, Ivak was released from his prison. The result was a massive djed storm that spread out from the city, covering the whole of Mizahar. Many things were changed as a result of the storm, Natalie included. Because she was exposed to such a large amount of Djed when so young and still growing in both Kelvic and human ways, Natalie's size increased tenfold thanks to the proximity of Catabasis when the Djed caught them. Instead of being a normal sized Kestrel, Natalie is instead about half the size of Sira; not large enough to carry an adult on her back, but able to keep up with other Wind Eagles for short periods of time.

- - After Aidara Throughout their relationship Sira and Aidara had their ups and downs, but always they would pull it back together. Their love and their bond was too strong, and they had a child to care for. Nothing could ever separate them for long. But one morning Sira awoke to find Aidara missing. Several mornings passed, and still there was no sign of the healer. Nobody had seen her for days, and Sira grew concerned. Sira and Natalie flew out to search for her, but ultimately, they failed. Out in the wilderness Natalie confronted her mother about the issue, accusing Sira of driving Addy away. Her words wounded Sira more than anything ever had in her life. After that Sira spent some time alone, hunting and dropping off kills at Thunder Bay, but staying away from the city itself. She eventually came to believe Natalie's words. When she finally did return to Wind Reach she was a changed woman. She was cold, shunning contact with the rest of Wind Reach whenever she could, but deep down she still longed for companionship. She longed for Aidara most of all, but knew that she would never see the woman again. To make matters worse, Sira returned home to find a note from Natalie. The young kelvic had left her as well, leaving the city and flying south in search of her Aunt Sai. Natalie was the last person to have seen the Flight Leader, and was the only one who had any idea of her whereabouts. Sira thought about following, but could not bear to leave the city. She accepted that her daughter had left her as well, and resigned to live alone. Still, she could not get Addy out of her mind. It hurt every day, and Sira desperately wanted to move on.

Equipment and Possessions Indoor and Outdoor outfits (see above post) Grandfathers Bow (heirloom) Magic Talon Sword*While it otherwise looks exactly like a normal talon sword, this special blade will never dull. Not only that but it is able to withstand more than a normal sword and one would find it very difficult indeed to break. The only discerning factor of this sword is its extravagant handle, worked into the shape of a howling wolf, two glittering emeralds for each eye. There is a curious inscription underneath the leather wrapped around the handle, and if discovered, is in of no known language to the reader.

[Sira]

General Information : 1. What is your Name? Sira 2. Do you go by a nickname or pet name? nope, name's already to short for that. 3. How old are you? 8 4. What is your height? 5' 6" 5. What is your weight? 140lbs Notes: Sira is young, but physically mature. Mentally however, she can still be a bit childish at times. Aesthetics : 1. Describe yourself as you see yourself. I'm smart, quick, and strong. I'm a great hunter and a great lover. I'm also a mother now.. and that is turning out to be more than I expected. 2. Describe yourself as others typically see you. Some people are still jealous and dislike me, but I think they are starting to realize that I'm not some freak. That I'm here to stay, that I contribute, and that they should like me. 3. What is your favorite body feature? My eyes and my wings. 4. How physically fit are you? Oh, I don't think there's and ounce of fat on me. I'm a finely tuned hunting machine. 5. How do you typically dress and what is your style? I tend to dress light. When its warm, I wear little at all. Its easier that way. Hard to shift if I've got clothes on. Don't get me wrong, I still have some nice outfits, but on a day to day basis I wear what is convenient. Notes: Sira is full of pride, and has mostly overcome her self doubt. She still has a lot further to go, but continues to grow. Family : 1. Who are your parents and what are they like? My mother is a commoner, my father was a kelvic. I never knew him, and I don't see my mother much anymore. 2. Do you have any brothers or sisters? I have two half brothers, both older than me, both Endal. 3. What is your extended family like? They're okay I guess. I don't talk to my family much anymore 4. Do you consider close friends as important or more/less important than family? Those few people who become my close friends are more important to me than anything. 5. Do you treat animals like family? Not like family.. but I guess I have a soft side for them. Especially birds. Notes: Sira's lack of connection with her family is more her own doing than theirs. She still has contact with her mother, who loves her dearly though she doesn't show it. As for her brothers, she sometimes flies with them on the hunt, but rarely associates with them otherwise. Location : 1. Where were you born? Right here in Wind Reach. 2. Where do you live now? Still live in Wind Reach. 3. If you could live anywhere in Mizahar where would that be? I'd like to see Syliras, but I don't know if I could live anywhere other than here. 4. Do you have a favorite place to vacation or spend leisure time? I've never been on vacation. 5. Where do you fear to be? Um... I don't know. Notes: Sira is connected to Wind Reach in ways she doesn't fully understand. Her Wind Eagle nature will not allow her to leave her people for long, and she would never settle elsewhere. Traits : 1. Do you have any physical weaknesses (disease, scars, and missing limbs?) Not that I know of. 2. Are you right handed or left handed? I write with my right hand, but I'm good with both. 3. What languages do you speak? What do you sound like? Do you have an accent? Mostly I speak Nari, but I can speak common too. And I can talk to birds. 4. Do you have any odd mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? People tell me I have a penetrating stare.. it creeps them out. I guess thats the bird in me. I don't know. 5. Do you have (or want to get) any tattoos or piercing? Why do you have them (or will get them) ? Piercings and shifting don't do to well together... learned that the hard way. Notes: Sira loves attention, good or bad, and seeks it out whenever possible. She never turns down a conversation, and will talk about anything. Occupations : 1. What is your occupation? I am a hunter. 2. Do you like/dislike your work? Why? I love it. 3. If you could be anything you wanted to, what would you be? I'm happy with what I am, I just wish everyone else would stop treating me like some kind of freak. 4. What occupation do you admire the most? The hunter. We provide our people with the food it needs the most. 5. What occupation do you lest like? Why? All occupations serve their purpose... but I'd hate to have to clean up after everyone. Notes: Sira is very proud of her status as an Endal. To be an Endal is good enough, but for a non-Inarta to be promoted to the rank of Endal is something few accomplish. Childhood : 1. What sort of child were you? Well, I wasn't a child for very long. But I was adventurous, curious... I loved watching the Wind Eagles... They taught me everything I know about flying. 2. What is your favorite memory from childhood? My first flight outside. It was amazing. 3. What is your worst memory from childhood? Just the memories of children picking on me for being different. 4. What sort of relationship did you have with your parents? I was raised in the nursery. With my father gone, my mother didn't have time to raise me herself, though she helped. 5. Who was your most influential rolemodel? The eagles.. all of them. Notes: Sira has a great love for the Wind Eagles, but has little interaction with them other than during hunts. She is not one of them, yet feels a deep connection to them as strong as any Endal. Education : 1. What sort of education do you have? Same as every other Inarta, I just finished earlier. 2. Do you like/dislike learning? I love it! 3. Where or how did you learn most of your skills/abilities? Right here in Wind Reach, either through teaching or trial and error. 4. How do you learn best? By seeing and doing. 5. What are your educational goals for the future? Now that I'm with Addy, I suppose I'll need to learn how to have somebody riding me. Notes: Sira is a very fast and dedicated learner. She quickly outgrew the other children, and so she had to grow up mentally just as quick. Relationships : 1. Do you form close bonds with people? At first I thought no, but then I met Aidara. I am bonded with her in every sense of the way. I am also close to her sister Sairque, even though sometimes we bash heads when it comes to Addy. I think Sai had a thing for me once.. 2. Do you trust people easily? If not, why not? You have to earn it, but once you have it it's hard to lose. 3. Do you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else? Eheh.. I go both ways. I enjoy men mostly for their bodies, and women for their minds.. but its all good. 4. Have you ever been kissed? If so, describe the first time. Sure, lots of times. First time was when I was five. One of the riders took me back to his place... What!? Don't look at me this way. I was fully matured at a year of age! 5. Have you ever had sex? If so, describe the first time. Well... right after my first kiss was my first time. It was great... I've had it several times since, but it wasn't always as good. Usually with people who outranked me... but I wont lie, since I officially became an Endal I've had my pick of the commoners. Notes: Anyone seeking a relationship with Sira should understand this: As a Kelvic, she is naturally inclined to bond with another. However, as a Wind Eagle, she will only bond with a female. Said female would also likely end up as her rider. This is not to say she wont have male/female relationships, but she will only bond with a female. Drugs and Alcohol : 1. Have you ever been drunk? If so, describe your first time. Yes, and to be honest... I can't remember anything about it. 2. Do you like to drink on a regular basis? Not really. Dulls the senses, and that's not good for flying. 3. What sort of alcohol do you prefer? The hard stuff. 4. Have you ever tried drugs (mood altering substances)? If so, which kinds and what did you think of them? Yes. Some are amazing, some not so much. I don't do it often, but if its a party why not? 5. What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Be specific. Hey, whatever floats your boat. I don't do it much, but I wont hold it against anyone who does. Notes: Sira likes to party, but she prefers to be aware of what is going on around her. That doesn't mean she doesn't know how to have a good time, she just like to remember it the next day. Likes and Dislikes : 1. What are your hobbies? Well, I like hunting, and training birds. I like to dance. Sex. 2. Do you like to read? I'm not a big reader. 3. What annoys you more than anything else? Just the fact that everyone treats me like I'm different. I don't care if I'm different, I want to be treated like everyone else! 4. What do you find the most relaxing activity to do? Flying. There's nothing else like it. 5. What kinds of things embarrass you? Why? Well, I don't really get embarrassed easily. I guess when people start talking about how I'm not really an Endal since I'm not actually a rider. Notes: Sira's passion is her profession. When not working, she enjoys partying, dancing, and good company. Favorites : 1. What is your favorite color or colors? Sky blue. 2. What is your favorite time of day? Sunrise and sunset. Best time to hunt. 3. What is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? I once watched a pair of eagles on their mating flight, the sunset behind them.. it was breath taking. 4. What do you like to eat? What do you hate to eat? Seafood... that's pretty much all I ever eat. 5. What is your favorite type of weather? Does any kind scare you? I like clear skies and warm weather. Thunderstorms frighten me. I would hate to fly in one. Notes: Sira also enjoys long walks on the beach, warm bathes, and stimulating conversation. Outlook : 1. Are you optimistic or pessimistic? I try to be optimistic, but its hard when you belong to a place you don't feel like you belong to. 2. What are your religious views? the usual.. I don't worship any one particular deity. 3. Would you be able to kill? If I had to. 4. What are your views on sex? Heh... its nice. 5. What, in your opinion, makes a successful life? If you have helped to make your world a better place, then your life has been a success, no matter how small. Notes: Sira strives to be the best she can be. She dedicates at least an hour each day to training or learning of some kind. Actions : 1. What is the worst and best thing you’ve ever done? The worst.. I stole food once. The best, I killed a walrus once. Showed those boys who's boss. 2. What is your greatest regret? No true regrets. I just wish people would stop treating me different. 3. What is your best/worst memory? My best memory was the day I moved into the aeries and went on my first real hunt with all the other riders... that was also my worst memory, because that first day they all treated me like crap. I've earned most of their respect since then, but I don't think any of them really like me. 4. If you could change one thing about your past, what would it be and why? I would have been born a true Inarta. 5. What are you the most proud of doing in your life? I am proud that I have finally found my place.. even if it isn't exactly what I wanted. Notes: Sira hopes to one day be accepted as a true Endal, and constantly strives toward that goal. Emotions : 1. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings with others? Very honest. 2. Do you have any biases or prejudices? not really 3. What makes you happy? Hunting, flying, dancing, watching the Wind Eagles, and spending time with Addy 4. Who or what, if anything, would you die for? My people, and Addy.. who happens to be one of my people, so yeah. 5. What makes you angry? I hate to see the innocent get hurt. I hate to see animals treated with cruelty. And I hate it when people treat me like I'm some kind of freak, even if they are being nice about it. Notes: Sira is by no means a cruel person, but when it comes to the social system in Wind Reach, she is first and foremost Endal. That means anyone who does not outrank her will be treated in whatever way she pleases, at least until she gets to know you better. Relationships : 1. In general, how do you treat others? Depends on how they treat me. If they outrank me, I treat them with respect. If I outrank them... well, I need to work on that a little. 2. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? Aidara. And behind her, all of Wind Reach 3. Who is the person you respect the most, and why? No one person. I respect all the great riders. 4. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If not, describe an ideal lover. No spouse. An ideal lover... well, they would have to be attractive, kind, strong, smart. They'd have to be great in bed, at least as good as me.. I'd want someone who knows how to dance. 5. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why I trust my fellow hunters and the Endal, and I trust myself. Notes: Sira is very protective of her people, and would die for them. That aside, she is also very self absorbed. Group Situations : 1. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? well that depends on the situation, doesn't it? 2. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? I can lead or follow. Either way is good. 3. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? What, like a party? Sure, parties are fun. 4. Do you care what others think of you? Yes and no. I don't care what they think about my looks or personality, but I do care about how they view my contribution to the city. 5. What do you think of others, in general? Depends on the person. I'm always willing to give anyone a chance. Notes: Sira enjoys group situations. They allow her to mingle with others without drawing too much negative attention to herself. Self Image : 1. What is your greatest strength as a person? I am determined. 2. What is your greatest weakness? I want what I can't have. 3. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I wish I was born an Inarta... 4. Are you generally introverted or extroverted? Extroverted. 5. Are you generally organized or messy? I don't own much, so I guess I'm organized. Notes: Sira views herself as a strong person, but seeks acceptance from the rest of her people. Beliefs : 1. What God or Goddess do you find most appealing, if any? No one in particular. 2. Which God or Goddess do you fear, if any? Well, if I ever piss one off, I guess I'll fear that one. 3. Do you have any Gnosis Marks? If so, how did you receive them? Not that I know of. 4. What lengths would you go to to please your deity? I don't know... 5. Where do you draw the line at pleasing your deity? What is too much?Same answer. I don't know... Notes: Sira is not religious. She slept through that part of class.. Life & Death : 1. What do you absolutely live for? I love flying 2. What is the best part of life? Addy 3. What is the best part of death? uh.. i guess that's its over? 4. If you could choose, how would you want to die? I've never thought about that before. 5. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death? I just want to be remembered for something other than I was the girl who could turn into a Wind Eagle. Notes: Sira does not worry much about life and death. As an Endal, she puts her life on the line every day. Whether its from a stray arrow, and angry walrus, or an actual assault on Wind Reach.
