Appearance :

Dark skinned and somewhat short for her race and age, Ravashta boasts a fine face and an athletic figure. Large almond eyes dominate her face, the colour of dark forest honey, crowned by long lashes. A wide set nose and high cheek bones, veiled by black hair which in certain light glistens with a wine red hue. She could sit on her hair, it is that long but more often than not it's swept clean off her face, tied into a long pony tail with leather, clay and metal beads as well as long shreds of fabric in emerald, scarlet and purple all throughout it.

Ravashta takes pride in her appearance like only the soul of an artist can. Her ears are pierced all along the helix with the bottom part of the lobe stretched to almost 12 millimetres. She's particularly fond of her solid, bone carved stretchers which bear the depiction of her clan's symbol (the eye) carved and painted into them but often she'll wear many many smaller gold hoops with colourful beads threaded though a metal tunnel lining her ears instead as she enjoys the sound that they make. Her nose is also pierced at the septum and so is the centre of her upper lip which usually bear far smaller piercings than those in her ears.

Tattooing and scarification had become somewhat of an obsession for Ravasha who views her body as a walking artistic masterpiece. Her very first tattoo was the two thick red bands aligned parallel which stretch from her arm pit to a wide V between her breasts. It is the signature of bonding with her Myrian Tiger. She also has a sleeve running all the way down her arm made entirely of a pattern of boxes, the borders of which are laced with intricate patterns and a triskele at the centre of each. These were done by her sister, started as a child another one was added each time they spent a day together which they wanted to remember. Ravashta's face is also scarified with rows of dots running parallel down her cheeks.

She also has a great love for makeup and face paint, never forgetting to adorn herself with turquoise, crimson or golden war stripes across her face and neck and always lines her eyes with thick black khol.

Personality :

Ravashta is violent and impulsive. Like the forest she's both loving and unforgiving, beautiful and passionate, burning brightly like a flame in the black night. She embraces the Myrian life wholeheartedly but doesn't hide the fact that she'd be happiest spending days on end in the jungle, among the fauna and flora, hunting or sparing with her twin sister. She is young, naive and a thrill seeker.

Religion :

Living in the unforgivable hot climates of Falyndar, Ravashta is particularly pious, devoting almost every evening to the worship of her gods as something of a ritual.

Myri - Her love of weapons battle and ruthless combat has caused Ravashta's heart to beat with the love of Myri. She prays to her daily as the her connection to the goddess is one of the most important things in her life and if death should come for her she will keep in her unrelenting fanaticism, believing Myri will raise her as part of her Shadow Guard. Her life's goal is to become worthy.

Makutsi - Ravashta sees herself as a double of Makutsi, the goddess of torrential rains. She embodies the goddess's very passion and quick temper, never forgetting about the practical perhaps of the goddess also.

Navre - being the patron god of her kin is very close to Ravashta's heart as she's thankful for her two life companions. She had grown up with reverence for him as her mother and her mother's mother and her mother before her had all been the god's loyal worshippers.

History :

Ravashta has lived a fairly normal Myrian life and as all other Myrians she had spent her childhood days roaming the jungle, slaying and hunting and learning to follow in the footsteps of goddess Myri. She'd been born to a family of five, all girls, but it's her eldest sister Megha whom she grew closest to. In 513AV, Axis the Kelvic came into her life and they'd since become inseparable bond mates.. Life for Ravashta had been peaceful - as peaceful as life of a Myrian can get, that is.

Birthplace: Taloba
Housing: Family home in Taloba

Companions :

Name: Axis
Gender: male
Birthday: Spring 77th 512AV (2 years of age)
Race: Kelvic (Myrian tiger)

Skills:
Hunting 10-Novice
Unarmed combat 10-Novice
Wilderness survival 10-Novice

Concept:
Having very little knowledge of his mother, Axis grew up in Riverfall something of a vigilante as oppose to make an honest end's meat. Then again he wasn't all that demanding and having gotten progressively better at hunting over his short life span and progressively worse at pick pocketing by default, he ended up leaving the city for search of a better life. A heart aching for a bond mate. It was on the 1st of spring year 513AV that he finally met her, Ravashta and it took another season to betray his real identity but since then the pair had been inseparable. Where she went, his paws followed.
Axis is a somewhat reclusive being, careful but dominating and merciless when required. He's filled with pride and fearselly protects that which is his, including Ravashta herself however he doesn't have the habit of wearing his human skin often and if he does it is only around his bond mate.

Human appearance - Very tall, tawny skinned with long hair the colour of his fur in tiger form. A strong jaw and a flat, wide nose. His eyes are a ginger brown, lined by a thicker than normal set of lashes and large tear ducts. It is terribly easy to tell his Kelvic identity by simply looking into those eyes as they form cat like slits in poor light conditions.[

Heirloom: a set of beautifully decorated leather armour which, made by her great grandmother, had been passed down to her grand mother and now to her at her blooding. It's a symbolic way of saying "Go kill things and bring pride to our family." Ravashta doesn't really understand her grandmother's faith in her but then again there are many things she doesn't understand. The Armour is clearly battle worn though kept in pristine condition, mended where needed and it bears the Tiger Eye insignia on it which is her clan's symbol.
