[Zira Nyneve]

Zira Nyneve Basic Race: Charoda Age: 19 Gender: Female Date of Birth: 12th day of Spring in 495 AV Place of Birth: Charbosi, Falyndar Current Residence: The Blue Gem in Riverfall Appearance Zira is clearly a Charoda, adorned with the usual features of her race. Her build could be described overall as small, shaped from a life of travel and speedy getaways; her body clearly built for evasion rather than confutation. She reaches a height of about 5’4” and weighs about 100 lbs, making her unusually small compared to most races and even those of her own species. Her skin tone is light greyish-blue, much like that of a light colored stone. Her skin lightens in a couple places, particularly along the pads of her hand and feet and her ‘hair’.Her face itself looks rather delicate, with mostly small features throughout. She has a tendency to smile often, and usually her optimism is apparent in her facial features. Her eyes appear a couple shades darker than her overall skin tone, even with the filmy covering over them. Character Concept Zira is largely influenced by her need for knowledge and her urge to learn everything the world has to offer her. She seeks to own a vast collection of book and to meet with those who can teach her the lesser known facts about the world. Though her learning endeavors span a vast number of subjects, she tends to stick to those that are more natural – herbalism, botany, survival. She enjoys practical knowledge over more abstract studies. She does not consider herself a scholar by any means, though she might be well on her way to becoming one. As she has not had any interaction with other species until more recently, she tends to be awkward socially around those who are not her own kind. She has trouble adapting to other cultures, especially those that have a tendency to be warlike and aggressive. Because of this, she usually keeps to herself, sticking to the natural world when she can. Zira is naturally curious, and has a thirst for adventure, especially if the adventure promises knowledge and understanding. Her inability to readily defend herself and her peaceful nature usually makes adventuring impossible, however. Her moral code is quite strict due to her upbringing. She is a very peaceful being. Character History As of now, Zira’s life has been decently normal for one of her race. She was born in Chardosi, her race’s home and haven, into a decently normal family. Both her mother and father were coral manipulators, spending most of their time building and rebuilding the city. She has four siblings, all of which were members of the same egg group, making them the same age. From a young age, Zira was close to her family, like most of her kind are, especially her father. For as long as she can remember, her father would take her on gathering expeditions to find food and other useful artifacts that would keep their family successful. It was on these expeditions that Zira learned the basics of surviving in the ocean and began to take an interest in Caiyha. Zira’s family was religious, much like every other Chaboda family. However, the family as a whole had a tendency to lean towards Makutsi, as Zira’s mother had dedicated herself to her at a young age. As Zira began spending more time out in the ocean’s more feral sections, she began finding herself commonly praying to Caiyha. At the age of sixteen, Zira officially dedicated herself to the goddess, and received a necklace from her mother to symbolize her dedication. Zira’s life was decently boring and simple until a few years later. In the middle of winter, her mother came down with an extremely hard to treat disease. It attacked the spinal column; first causing extreme pain and inflammation, until it destroyed the nerves in that area and caused complete numbness. The cycle continued until it reached the brain. Herbalist and healers of all sorts came and tried to treat Zira’s mother, but the disease claimed victory only a week after it set in. After experiencing how quickly life could end, Zira decided it was time to set off and form her own life. After about a year of preparing, Zira began her trek to Riverfall.
