Nadeja

[Nadeja]

Bare Bones Kelvic (Lhavitian Misty Fox) D.O.B. Fall 37 511 AV (3 years) Located in Lhavit Skinside Nadeja stands at five feet tall and weighs 110 lbs. She is lanky limbed and small, sturdy and quick fingered with a nose that is scattered with freckles and a mouth that is quick to grin. Thickly lashed eyes are grey-blue and sometimes silvery-green in the light and also when she's trying to be clever. Her hair is pale colored with hints of cream and shadow caught near the roots in a strange collection of colors. All of her is bright and fresh faced and she is hardly ever still, jittering this way and bouncing the other. She is capable of moving faster than most humans and is naturally agile. Foxside As one of the rare misty foxes of Lhavit, Nadeja is approximately 17 inches long from tip of nose to tip of tail and shoulders are roughly 12 inches high. Small, compact, and a bushy tail. She is pure white and with thick fur well suited to cold weather. Her nose is velvet black and her eyes are the same shifting, storm hues of blues, greys, and greens as in her human form. She weighs much less than she appears to due to the nature of the fox skeletal structure at 15 lbs. She can trot up 13 mph and can hit 50 mph at full speed. She is the epitome of quick and nimble. Concept To Nadeja, the skinside and the inside both aim the arrow. There is no division in her mind between her human form and her fox form. She is both and both are most pleasing to her. Curiosity is her compass and she delights in anything complicated, tricksy, or swift. It is difficult to make her be still save for when she is working magic in the kitchen and if presented with a knot she will be obsessed until it is either unraveled or destroyed. This along with a brain set on solutions and survival creates a creature well crafted for creative cooking, ciphering, and code breaking. The world is rife with mystery and is only a tangle for her to puzzle out, and then to present piece by piece to her daughter. Nadeja is dedicated to the celebration of her daughter's life which is destined to be painfully brief and spends the majority of her time attempting to fill Kit's hours with all manner of wonder. Kit might be the only one who knows her mother is dumb like a fox. History Back in the days when animals could talk and when Camden Disraeli was freed from his slavery to the scions of the Twilight Tower on the Day of Discord, he took both his hope and the sole existing key to his greatest cipher with him. Worthwhile years of his life had been spent in service, slinking and sliding his way through the kitchens of all Lhavit. He cooked. He coded. He served. He ciphered. He was a better cryptologist and information broker than he was a chef, but nobody had ever broken his bones over an overly crisp flapjack so that was the direction he aimed himself in. With a little bit of luck and a generous helping of blackmail, he bought a tiny little house with a great big kitchen and began cooking for the masses. Camden raised Nadeja up from a cub, impossibly careful with his skittish little fox. They were a rare breed in the Peaks anymore, hunted to scarcity for their pure white pelts. He was not taking any chances that some fortune hunting trapper might make of her a bullseye and he taught her to have a care with who she showed her foxside to. It was in that manner Nadeja grew to be as content in one skin as she was in the other, capable of perceiving no portent distinction between the two. Having witnessed firsthand how stunted a kelvic’s intellect could become if they bonded too young, Camden took especial pains to keep from forming a bond with Nadeja. Instead he filled the fox with everything he knew, from how to not scorch a roux to how to crack and create clandestine codes. After Nadeja reached puberty, nature and intimacy eventually took its course and the result was a kelvic pregnancy. Before either a bonding could occur or the baby could be born, Camden disappeared in the summer haze. Nadeja stayed in his tiny little house with his great big kitchen and waited, and waited. She picked up where he left off, serving tasty, portable, and cheap food to the denizens of the stars and grew heavy with child as autumn swept through Lhavit. She looked for Camden, but she never went searching for him. She never asked nor otherwise sought. She understood secrets, stories, and the siren call of the world to the freshly freed. The leaves were changing color when Nadeja went into labor and eventually gave birth to a healthy if tiny baby girl with the aid of a kind neighbor. She named the baby Kit, because that was what all good fox mothers called the children they loved, and in due time discovered that daughter was a dormouse rather than a fox. If anything, she loved Kit more for the tragedy of her brief lifespan. Many dormice did not live past a year, and the oldest came only to four or five before wearying old age claimed them for Dira. Though still appearing but a teenager herself, Nadeja understood that her daughter would age faster than even she did, a rapid sprout and a swift decline. This is mind, Nadeja decided to try and wrangle a loan to pay off the last of Camden’s debt on the business and thereby be able to give Kit the best little lifetime money and mountain peaks could provide. She wanted more than just once upon this time. NPC Name: Kit Race: Kelvic (Dormouse) DoB: Fall 514 AV Skills: Foraging +20, Stealth +10 Approval: MIrage & Gossamer Kit was born to Nadeja while the leaves changed their colors, a perfectly formed albeit small infant daughter. She had ten fingers, ten toes, and her mother's storm colored eyes. Her tiny size was Nadeja's first clue that her daughter had inherited the kelvic gene. Kit turns into a tiny, dark dormouse with a long, curling tail and a tragically short lifespan. In her human form, she will go from a fuzzy headed baby to a scurrying toddler and grow into a pale skinned woman with rich, brown hair and bright eyes. Her skin will grow thin and frail and her dark hair will eventually turn more sepia than grey. Age will shrink her, but not diminish. OOC NOTE: As of Winter 514 AV, Kit is moving from baby to child. She will hit preteen in appearance in Spring 515 AV.
