Baiya
Appearance
Race: Kelvic (Sugar Glider)
Gender: Female
Age: 3 years (Human appearance: early 30's)
Birthday: 50th of Summer, 517
Birthplace: Lhavit
Appearance: In human form, Baiya is a rather petite woman. She stands at only 5' 3" and 120 pounds sopping wet. Her muscles are only visible in the arms when she flexes, and her core is refined but slight like a dancer's from her work. She has dark, cinnamon-colored hair that contrast with relatively light skin and gray-colored eyes. She usually has her hair done up or styled in some way, and she is always immaculate about hygiene. Her dress tends towards formal, although it is not uncommon to catch her in a simple shirt and pants when enjoying the outdoors. Her animal form does not carry over any benefits excepting a certain agility, which is more mental than physical as she has a much more significant form to move as a human.
Her animal form is also petite. The same color scheme persists, with a light colored body and stripes of dark, cinnamon fur. Her eyes are wide and nearly black, and her fingers are long and spindly, made for foraging and grasping. As a sugar glider, she cannot "fly" per say, but rather can ride currents from one place to another by extending her arms and letting the skin catch the wind beneath her. The long fluffy tail is, while not entirely prehensile, under some amount of control for steering and grasping.
Character Concept
Baiya is incredibly sociable. She is prone to bouts of loneliness, and will do anything and be with anyone to sate these. She craves connections with others, both mental and physical, and has found both in her line of work as a masseuse, though days off can be rough. Her mother being one of the city's Red Lantern workers, Baiya has no qualms with giving the business a visit from time to time, but prefers the inns for a physical connection, or the Basilika or study halls for a mental one.
Her goals in life are rather short-sighted. As a Kelvic, her life is expected to be relatively short, and so she has no huge dreams of starting a business or marrying or traveling too far. Instead, she focuses on simple pleasures that are readily accessible, and hearing about the grand plans of others who might achieve those to fulfil her desires. While this can be depressing, it is most often a defense mechanism. If she does not expect great things- or indeed, anything- then everything will be a pleasant surprise and leads to more happiness. If she falls into this existential dread about not doing anything with her life, she will simply buy a new outfit, or set out some flowers in her home, and then all is right with the world again.
Despite her lack of direction overall (or maybe because of it), Baiya can be incredibly stubborn when she sets her mind to something, and can be incredibly motivated when learning new skills. She throws her whole self into new projects.
Character History
Baiya was born to two Kelvic parents in Lhavit. She was infinitely closer with her mother, who was home more often. Her father was generally out working and the two never grew very close. Although loving, her parents had many children to care for and encouraged her to go out on her own at a young age. So, after completing her limited schooling by the time she was barely a season old, Baiya was ready to stand on her own two feet. Baiya's mother, as a prostitute, was only able to pass on a limited number of job-seeking skills, but beauty and persuasion were some of them. After studying under her mother's careful guidance, Baiya quickly found herself picking up both the persuasion and hypnotist skills of her mother.
Once on her own, she sought out an entry-level job at the Starglow Spa and works there currently. Though she isn't sure if this is her true calling, it will do for the time being and keeps her from getting bored. Conversing happily and actively with the strangers who come and go has kept her mind active and has given her exposure to Nari through Inarta customers as well as an outlet to practice her hypnotism and influence the calm of her guests. The magic is a favorite pastime of hers, being such a talker, but this poses a problem as she can accidentally overgive very easily.
