[Shijara]

Shijara Appearance Race: Chaktawe Gender: Female Age: 22 Birthday: 1st, Fall , 491 AV. Birthplace: Eyktol Desert Appearance: Shijara has every feature the average Chaktawe would have. Webbed feet, blackened eyes, jet hair, and the pores on their fingertips that allow her to sense movement. Her dark hair, which falls to her lower back, is full of thick waves and she often enjoys tying trinkets -- bells and feathers -- into her locks. She wears practical clothing, if not more on the traditional side, choosing to make some of her attire by collecting feathers in the desert relentlessly, weaving them together into various pieces to cover tan skin. Her complexion is clear, her cheekbones high, lips -- full. She is exotic looking, albeit more in place among the desert dwellers. Shijara is quite petite, slender and lithe, standing only 5'2", with long legs. Her torso is more compact, but she has the curves of a woman and has a natural beauty about her. While living with her tribe, the Tatsuwaat, Shijara often kept a red band painted meticulously across her eyes to show her loyalty. Character Concept Shijara has never been a cautious soul, and thus, has stood out from other Chaktawe. Even as a young girl there was a curiosity that burned within her, and made it impossible for her to stand still. She was always wondering off, much to the dismay of her family. With a passion to discover and explore, Shijara wants nothing more to make it out of the desert, perhaps become a traveling merchant and collector of rare, beautiful items. She has dreamed of one day seeing the farthest reaches of the world, capturing these moments in her art, sketches and paintings that will brighten the moods and educate those around her. More than anything, Shijara wants to learn. Of course, even Shijara has her flaws. A darker sense of humor and a wit so quick that it often causes mischief. She's been offensive to some, usually by accident, as oftentimes her way of showing affection is through playful teasing and a testing of mind. No doubt this gets her into trouble, but her resilience has been able to keep her safe thus far. Character History Shijara was raised primarily by her uncle, her mother dying in child birth, and then her father, who struggled to raise a young girl by himself called upon his younger brother for help. When her father passed from sickness, the other man took it upon himself to take care of the girl. He was young, reckless and the typical unprepared bachelor. He was not much older than 22 when he adopted her, and Shijara learned from his youth. He taught her how to have fun in sadness, and she taught him how to grow up. In a way, they complimented one another, and they promised to one day go on a vacation, after her searching, of course, but shortly after she completed the ritual, her uncle finally settled down with a woman. Now, he has chosen to stay in the desert, after having children of his own, but Shijara holds no ill will. Plans change, but she still has hopes to expand her horizons. During her youth, her and her uncle moved around, meeting the occasional Benshiran and trying their best to befriend who they could. When they weren't wandering the desert, Shijara was often lounging around the Keerdash grove, sketching her surroundings to pass the time and distract herself from the heat.

Extra Guardian Information : Your Guardian is a Cougar named Sonnet. She is a female that always seems to bring music with her. She tends to show up when Shijara is in trouble or when she dances. During the day Sonnet appears as a normal cougar, although somewhat ethereal. During the night shes a swirl of color and seems to have sparkling notes of music infusing her coat and trailing from her. She can be a fierce protector or a sarcastic sounding board depending. Only Shijara can see or hear her unless she's in full defense mode. She's been known to play tricks on Shijara, but she's also equally known to warn her of danger or say lead her to water when shes lost in the desert. On Dreams & Things : *Loot: Late Night Excursions... Occasionally, Shijara might find herself dreaming of Kel from now on. These dreams will always involve water-and will sometimes turn to his stunt in the tank, though he might not always come out alive.
