Yoona

[Yoona]

Full Name: Rayakoona, though “Yoona” is a friendly nickname that she’s come to use in reference to herself. Race: Chaktawe Gender: Female Age: 23 years Birthday: The 77th Day of Spring, 491 AV Birthplace: Eloab There can be no doubts that Yoona is, indeed, a lady. She’s got the feminine curves to prove it, with hips that seem to be of the perfect size, and she’s well-endowed in the chest region—put your eyes back in their sockets, gentlemen—a trait that she almost certainly inherited from her mother. Yoona is also quite tall, standing at 6’3”, and weighs a startling 187 pounds, though you couldn’t tell by looking at her and probably wouldn’t believe it if she told you. At the same time, there’s a lot of visible muscle in that build of hers, namely in her arms and legs; the limbs, slim and shaded in a tanned-bronze, are a testament to the woman’s physical strength. She has a small, somewhat oval-shaped face and almond-shaped eyes, the pupils and sclera alike the color of the darkest of nights. Her lips are thin but constantly curved in either a smirk or a frown. Her hair, a black much like her eyes, is short and goes no further than below her ears, where the ends are ragged and roughened; it was much longer at one point, but she’d cut it short later on with a flaying knife because it bothered her. Long hair is a burden in hot weather if you can't manage it. Yoona wears a large necklace of sorts that's adorned with layers of grey and black feathers, all of varying sizes, which line it and hang over her dark brown bodice. The wrap on her hips is a darker brown. Torn strips of a similar material are wrapped around both of her forearms, having an appearance similar to bandages. Like most other Chaktawe, Yoona never wears shoes. Yoona’s a tough cookie, with a tongue as sharp as the sand-laced desert winds. She’s incredibly unfiltered, comfortable with speaking her mind at all times and giving straightforward, blunt truths, save for the few times when she knows it might be better to stay quiet. The woman also has a short temper. Being friends with her is like constantly walking on paper-thin ice; you’re never sure what will set her off and what won’t, as her tolerance seems to shift with the seasons. On those much-too-occasional moments where she flies into a maddened rage, everything and everyone within a two-yard radius ends up being caught in the ensuing mayhem. Yoona is also wary of strangers, and distrustful towards most of the people that she meets. Perhaps going hand in hand with her temper is her strong sense of pride and self-worth. Yoona is wholly confident in her own abilities, and invites challenges, more than willing to defend her personal honor if the need arises. She enjoys obstacles and having her skills put to the test, almost as much as she enjoys learning new things. Yoona is exceptionally fascinated with languages, and becomes hellbent on learning one once she comes across a language that interests her. Common was her first self-taught language, and though she isn’t much more than an amateur at it, Yoona insists on speaking as much of it as possible. As a result, it’s with certain fervor that she pursues conversations, and even if she can’t fully understand what someone else is saying, she’ll try her best and mimic as well as she can. When one manages to get close to the woman—the hardships that come with that are plenty—one could see a slightly different side of her. On the outside, Yoona can be quite the stand-offish woman, but she’s still capable of compassion and friendliness. It just takes a lot of time, effort, and patience to reach her more reasonable core. Yoona is adept in Tawna, her native language. Because of her travels, she’s grown to be decent with Common as well, but only knows a handful of important phrases and words, so only uses the latter tongue when it’s absolutely necessary to speak to others. During those times, conversations can be a little choppy.

Pre-Creation Yoona’s parents were wanderers, as were most of their tribe, and never settled down in one place for too long. She was born in Eloab towards the end of one of their temporary stays, immediately after which her mother demanded that they start travelling, again; the city’s stillness and unnerving vibe worried her. So it was that Yoona was raised on the desert sands, taught the fauna and flora by her mother while her father instilled in her strength and combat skills. As a child, she spent most of her time going around with the other boys of her tribe, wrestling and the like. Many suitors popped up around the time that Yoona was to be wed, but she was always picky and ready to send them away for the silliest of reasons. News of her stubbornness spread amongst the tribe, and eligible men felt encouraged to try even harder to get her attention, but the woman never relented; she was much too proud, and felt that she was too good for all of them. This worried her parents, who feared that their only daughter would live an empty, loveless life of solitude. In the end, they turned out to be sort of right. When she was 21, out on a hunting trip, Yoona was caught by slavers, a friend caught along with her while the other two who’d been accompanying her were seriously injured. She was never able to say goodbye to her parents, and the next few years of her life consisted of endless travelling and being sold to and fro. Despite her beauty, she’d always made it her mission to be a hellraiser for both the slave owners and prospective buyers, so people stayed away from her. This led to constantly being exchanged between slavers, who were eager to get rid of her. Yoona ultimately wishes to return to her home and her parents, and yearns for freedom from enslavement. Ruki, Yoona's guardian, is a celestial-blue hyena with eyes the color of bronze. He tends to show up when she's feeling lonely, in pain, or in need of some advice, though he likes to let her figure certain things out on her own. Ruki's also an avid-trickster, enjoying pulling pranks on those who can't see him, which ends up leaving Yoona as the culprit. And despite his visibility being limited to the woman's eyes, he leaves tracks, which confuse people.

How old are you? 23. 4. What is your height? Six feet, three inches. 5. What is your weight? Ha! That's none of your business. I'm heavier than I look, and that's that. Aesthetics : 1. Describe yourself as you see yourself. Hmmm...I see a strong woman with a proud stance, and a willpower that refuses to be bent. I have my mother's face and shape, and my father's darkened bronze skin. 2. Describe yourself as others typically see you. What others? The money-grubbing, subhuman creatures that stole me away from my homeland? The hungry-eyed ones who stare at me when I pass? I can't see through their eyes, and I have no wish to. I can only imagine that the first thing they notice is my dagger. 3. What is your favorite body feature? My legs, I suppose. They allow me to be quick and agile. 4. How physically fit are you? Arm wrestle me, and then we'll find out. 5. How do you typically dress and what is your style? Feathers happen to be very stylish. Family : 1. Who are your parents and what are they like? My mother, Chimaya, is a very headstrong woman. My father, Kalaji, is very resourceful and clever. Both of my parents wanted me to learn how to be able to fend for myself and survive in the harshness of the desert, and though they were tough on me they loved me dearly. I have no doubts about them still being alive...however, whether or not they know that I still live remains a mystery. 2. Do you have any brothers or sisters? I am an only child. 3. What is your extended family like? I have a handful of uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents with whom I could meet on occasion. We lived in different tribes, but we traveled along similar routes. 4. Do you consider close friends as important or more/less important than family? Family always comes first. Friends have meaning, but in the end, one's family is who is closest and can be relied on. 5. Do you treat animals like family? There is a certain dominance that we hold over animals, like cattle. But I recognize that, like us, animals have souls and emotions, so I treat them the same as I'd treat a good friend. Location : 1. Where were you born? In Eloab. 2. Where do you live now? In Ravok, I suppose, though the decision wasn't mine to make. 3. If you could live anywhere in Mizahar where would that be? 4. Do you have a favorite place to vacation or spend leisure time?

It's difficult to learn all of the small words and phrases that people use to form their sentences; there are so many! 4. Do you have any odd mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? No, but...Ruki has a habit of stealing from people. It tends to get me in trouble. 5.
