[Fiora Radacke]

Fiora Radacke Race: Human, Benshira Gender: Female Age: 21 Birthday: 2, Winter, 491AV Birthplace: Yahebah Hair Color: Dark Brown (short) Eye Color: Light Sky Blue Height: 5'4'' Weight: 128 lbs. Appearance: With her light blue eyes, dark hair, and sun-kissed skin, Fiora looks like most Benshira, except that she has cut her hair short in recent years. She stands at an average height and has an average build with a small bust and slightly wide hips. Fiora has a child-like face and people often mistake her for being much younger than she really is, though she seems to have aged considerably in the last few years that she's been married. She is not dazzlingly beautiful, but there is something appealing about her and in Kenash, she poses as an exotic creature with her colorful clothes and jewelry. Fiora is always adorned with large, dangling earrings, and usually wears large necklaces, bracelets, and rings as well. Her clothes are very colorful, embroidered with details and often layered. Though she sports comfy leather sandals when she is anywhere but Kenash, she has adapted her preferred footwear to high leather boots as a precaution against snakes, poison ivy, and other natural dangers.

Character Concept: Originally a bashful, obedient child, Fiora has hardened over the last four years as a member of the Radacke family. She is very hospitable to the other Dynasty families and some freeborns, often giving gifts of scarves or pottery to the adults, and small wooden toys to the children, that she buys from the caravans that come near her shop. She treats her slaves with respect, except for when her husband is around, and then she adopts a strict, demanding persona, of which he approves. She often has to play a separate role when with her husband, Bice, to keep him calm and appeased. This dual personality sometimes confuses the slaves as well as Fiora's children, though she does her best to explain it to them. As a younger woman, she would oppose her beastly spouse and talk back to him much more than she does now. It is easier for her submit to him and she fears for the safety of her son and daughter, so she has actually grown quite meek and obedient and although she loves to have adventures, she is often timid, especially around strong men. Fiora retains much of her past Benshira culture, particularly when it comes to fashion and music, but she tries to keep her religion private, as her husband does not like her praying or practicing in front of him, and the other residents of Kenash find her strange enough already. Usually pliable and docile, Fiora can be strong-willed when it comes to certain matters. She is extremely adamant about protecting her children and keeping them safe and healthy, and she will also never tattoo her body, though the Radackes often try to persuade her to. She feels that she has been violated enough and does not want permanent stains marking her for something she was forced into. She would prefer that her children never be tattooed either, but knows this is probably a battle she will lose in the future. An excellent weaver of complicated designs and scenes, Fiora also excels at dancing, though she rarely dances in front of others, not even slaves. She enjoys reading very much and can always be expected to make a short trip to the library whenever she is in Kenash for business or other purposes. She is especially interested in history. History: The third child out of four, Fiora grew up in her brothers' shadows, which perfectly suited her. When she was six years old, her mother died in childbirth and Fiora's younger sister was born crippled and deformed. She willingly took on the role of caretaker for her sister, though she was very young, while her father traveled as a merchant and her brothers joined him when they became old enough. She spent much of her time as a child weaving and making stories up about the scenes in the fabric to tell her sister. Fiora's father brought back a Rakva, and worse yet, an Eypharian woman, as his lover after one of his trade journeys to Ahnatep, when Fiora was 14 years of age. The other Benshira were scornful of this pairing and began to treat Fiora's father and his children much differently. Leaving Yahebah in self-exile, the family traveled in caravans, trading wares and living out of their portable tent. They came to Kenash when Fiora was 17, where Bice Radacke, Dynasty man, lusted after her. One night, in a drunken rage, Bice invaded their tent, wounded her oldest brother, and told Fiora he would kill her sister if she did not become his wife. Fiora agreed, then, but negotiated with him and he paid her father handsomely for his eldest daughter. Though she misses her family, Fiora has become an important part of the Radacke family. At first dismayed that Bice married a Benshira instead of just taking her as a slave lover, the Radackes have grown used to Fiora over the years and tolerate her presence, if not outright treating her as one of their own. Bice loves her as much as he can love another person, and he dotes on his children. Still, he is not the gentlest of souls, and is easily angered. For her part, Fiora has learned much about people and how to perform properly around them since coming to the Radacke plantation. Having children has also made her even more submissive and flexible so that neither she nor them come under their father's ire.

NPC Characters: Name: Bice Radacke Race: Human DoB: 43, Summer, 482 AV PoB: Kenash Title: Indigo Farmer, Radacke Dynasty, Brother of Mica Skills: Agriculture 49, Leadership 30, Construction 28, Body Building 23, Intimidation 22, WIlderness Survival: Swamp 20, Drums 11 Gnosis: None Additional Info: The younger brother of Mica Radacke, Bice is only slightly less of a brute, though he is much less conniving and clever. Tall and muscular, Bice supervises labor in the indigo fields, often working his slaves to complete exhaustion and sometimes even physical injury. Generally clean-shaven, he has tattoos all down his left arm and on his right forearm as well as his upper back. At 31 years old, he is still immature, loud, and intimidating.He enjoys playing the drums and does so spastically and without much rhythm. Five years ago, he was spellbound by a traveling merchant's daughter and he threatened to kill her sister if she did not marry him. He has produced two children with his wife, Fiora, and they have only softened him a bit. Bice has a quick temper, especially when he's been drinking at the establishments in Kenash and he can be violent if provoked. Name: Marco and Lenthia Race: Human DoB: Marco: 14 Spring, 513AV; Lenthia: 89, Summer, 511 AV PoB: Kenash Title: Children of the Radacke Dynasty Skills: None Gnosis: None Additional Info: The two children of Bice and Fiora Radacke are healthy and happy, at least most of the time. Fiora is very protective of her children and gets quite a scare at the rough way Bice sometimes treats the little ones. Marco rarely cries, even though he is still very young, and Lenthia runs through the plantation house, emitting waves of laughter. Both of the children have brought some much needed youth and innocence to the household. Name: Kizou Race: Human DoB: 476 AV PoB: Kenash Title: Weaver Slave, works at Tangled Tapestries and Woven Wonders Skills: Weaving: 45 xp; Spinning: 5 xp Gnosis: N/A Additional Info: Born a slave on the Radacke plantation, Kizou was always very skinny and unhealthy growing up. He got moved around from the fields to the house and back again, but he didn't seem to work well anywhere. Thus, he was rather forgotten about for awhile and he spent a great deal of his time in the weaving room with his mother, learning to make rugs and tapestries. As a result, he is quiet, a little near-sighted, and pays great attention to detail. It is rumored that his father was one of the Dynasty men, but it has never been confirmed. One day, Jahk Radacke came across him and wondering how he had missed the man, took Kizou to the Breaking Grounds where he was beaten nearly to death. Once he recovered from the ordeal, he was sent to the indigo fields where Bice Radacke whipped him endlessly for his slow movements. Finally, it was deemed that he was not really valuable as anything but a weaver, so he was sent to Fiora. The wife of Bice made him her full-time slave at the Tangled Tapestries and Woven Wonders where we works on the tapestries every day when not attending customers. Many who visit the shop are impressed with his work but can sometimes get weary of his morose demeanor.
