Kashaiya wears simple clothing, a dark blue canvas mid-sleeve shirt that emphasizes her boy-like figure and brown soft long pants that fit her figure, but don't hug too tightly. They are tucked into brown boots, scuffed and worn with years of use. Her knee-length long coat is a woolly, scratchy gray that is heavy and stiff. It looks perpetually frumpy due to being stuffed in Yvas bags all summer.
Everyone around Kashaiya feels her confidence and childish optimism and daring. She wears a cool look of calm, but seen when she is tired, she often looks sad.
She wears no jewelry.
Character ConceptKashaiya is bold, strong, and snarky. She is clever with her tongue and her fingers, able to feel movement like all Chakatwe. Often snarky, she is prone to bluntly hurt people's feelings. She is unflinching and rash, harsh but strangely guarded. She is prone to dashing into situations.
Kashaiya has an unusually strong bond with her Strider (Aiksha), a blackish-brownish mischievous stallion of fiery temper and unrelenting loyalty.
Often, Kashaiya looks cool and confident, and look of slightly ignorant bravery often crosses her face as she strolls the city. At times she will appear distant or sad, which either throws off or disheartens whoever she is talking to. But then, like snapping out of a daze, she returns to unrelenting confidence.
Kashaiya is a proud Chakatwe, unafraid of sharing the stories that her grandmother and mother told her as a child. She chose her last name after being officially welcomed into Endrykas. She functions on the Chakatwe beliefs of unity and bravery. She remains loyal to the Drykas, but is proud of her past.
Character HistoryKashaiya was born to a strong, gentle and smart woman of the Kalanue region and a fiery aggressive man from the Suli region. While her father loved both her and her mother, he was prone to bursting out in fits of temper, only cured by time and a good night's sleep. This made him rather infamous among the clever and mischievous Kalanue, whom the family stayed with. Kashaiya's mother, however, was a smart athletic woman who was fearless and brave.
In the winter of 514 AV, Kashaiya was temporarily banished when she turned fifteen to find her spiritual guardian. The Kalanue live close to the northern border of Eyktol, and in the deep winter, Kashaiya unknowingly crossed the border between Eyktol and Cyphrus. As she wandered the deep south of Cyphrus, a Strider chose her. Kashaiya had been away from home now for four days, and was tired and hungry. She had occasionally heard of the strange people and their beasts that lived in Cyphrus, and decided to continue north. There she was found by the people of Endrykas, who had gathered in the southern part of Cyphrus for the Great Race.
The people of Endrykas were suspicious of this lone traveler who did not speak their language, but they accepted Kashaiya when they saw a Strider had chosen her. Using hand gestures, they demonstrated they were willing to deliver her back to the Kalanue, but Kashaiya indicated that she wanted to stay in Endrykas. Kashaiya believed that she was found by this city of nomads by the will of her unknown guardians, and respected the Drykas people and culture as her own guardian, for fate had brought her to this city.
Since the winter, the Drykas have accepted her and are teaching her the common language and Pavi.
