Sarai Naavah

[Sarai Naavah]

Sarai Naavah Appearance Race: Kelvic, Clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) Gender: Female Age: 2 years old (as a human she would appear about 18) Height: 5' 4" (human), 32" long with a 28" tail (feline form) Weight: 116 lbs (human), 26 lbs (feline form) Birthday: 84th of winter, 511 AV Birthplace: Zeltiva Appearance: Sarai is petite, even just being old enough to be considered an adult she is still small and can often pose as a young teenager if she needs to. Her long hair is unruly, wild and sandy in color. It is clearly untamed and almost seems to have a personality of its own, a wild boldness that is completely different from her own outward shyness. She often uses the overwhelming locks to shadow and hide her face though when she pulls it back her features are almost startling. Her large almond shaped eyes are gentle and yet hint towards an acute awareness only predators seem to have of their prey. Her iris's are forest green and as they fade towards the slightly elongated pupils they fade to copper. Her bottom lip is just a hint larger then her top lip giving her a natural soft pout that seems permanently planted in place no matter her mood. The curve of her jaw gives her face a heart shape that only extenuates her large eyes and mouth while her skin holds a permanent golden glow even in the cold of winter. With her small frame Sarai tends to stick to the shadows, her muscles lithe and her movements graceful. She often can be seen covered in worn clothing, obviously hand-me-downs of some sort and her nails are typically short against the skin as if she has nervously bitten them as low as she could without getting rid of them completely. Sometimes she can be seen with a smudge of dirt here or there on her face as if she spent time in places people long forgot to sweep. When she is in her other form, her feline form, she is rather small still for her species. Her fur matches the coloring of her skin and hair, golden and sandy in slightly varied tones and the dark markings that cover her appear in the shapes of undefined clouds much to the reason her species was names. Her eyes are slightly larger then normal in this shape as well, still holding the color of the forest and the copper of the fading sun in their depths. Her tail is almost the length of her body and her legs are short. Her large paws and tail help in her balance upon the thing limbs of trees or other structures. Despite her short nails in human form the size of her claws and the length of her fangs are relatively surprising in this form making her grip steady and firm as she climbs to different heights in the trees. The fangs of the clouded leopards are considered the longest of any other cat around the world and her fang length can even be reflected to larger then normal fangs in her human form should she happen to flash a smile or yawn. Character Concept and History Sarai has always been a bit of a shy creature even from day one when she was born in a dark tent on a dirt floor to her mother and father. Though she only has ever lived in Zeltiva she longs to travel, to see other places in the world and experience the scents and sights of other cities. For now she just settles for the heights of trees and buildings, should she not get caught, so that she can look over her home and perhaps see something new and learn something. Her curiosity of the world seems to mirror the phrase 'curiosity killed the cat' perfectly though her shy nature cautions her and tends to hold her back from approaching new situations. In the end she ends up watching from a far and longing for the courage to experience what others experience without fear. Sarai didn’t know her parents for long – it only took only a couple months for them to decide they couldn’t handle having a daughter and they decided to flee Zeltiva for a place far from the coastal city. Her parents dropped her off at The Farson Home for Orphans without even so much as a glance back as they ran for a ship they were taking passage on across the seas. Sarai kept her silence, she was so silent during her time at the orphanage that they thought she was a mute, never to be adopted and only to be barely glanced at by others as she kept herself shyly hidden in the shadows of the orphanage walls and gardens. Sometimes she even spurred whispered rumors between the other orphans of a cloud printed cat stalking the ruins of the un-inhabitable wings of the orphanage like a ghost. Sarai often stole, not truly understanding that it was something she shouldn’t be doing, it was never with malicious intent but rather for what she considered survival or just because she found something shiny she liked. If there was an unattended item she thought she needed she’d take it assuming it was left out for those who needed help. She was always a day dreamer sitting in a tree staring out at the people just within the walls of her home city. She enjoyed making stories for them, pretending she was weaving a novel of their lives in order to entertain herself. It wasn’t until recently that her desire to know others, to learn from others grew so great that she decided to slowly make her way into the city and perhaps create a life amongst the others who inhabited Zeltiva. Plus … she was old enough now the orphanage wanted her gone so they could make room for other children.
