[Candira]

Like her people, Candira has flexible, smooth skin stretched over a cartilage skeleton. She is streamlined, standing at 5 feet, seven inches and weighing only 110 pounds. In place of hair, Candira was graced with five tentacles, all of which is able to control. Her multi-pointed ears are hidden beneath and lay flat against her scalp. Both her fingers and toes are connected with flaps of skin, making water travel easier. Candira, unfortunately, has no identifying marks about her person. She prefers green colors, when she wears clothing.

Character Concept For a Charoda, Candira is surprisingly competitive. She enjoys helping others, creating things, living life, but everything seems to have an edge. Did I do more, or did you? By one-upping strangers or friends, Candira feels accomplished and recognized; she carves her place in the world in this way.

Character History Candira was born, one of five children, in her mother's first attempt at laying eggs. The girl grew up very close to two of her siblings - Danee and Nishem - and her father, who doted upon her the most of his guppies. Though Charodae emphasize equality, and her mother and father often cared for the children on alternate days, Candira barely knew her mother; she was a distant figure, focused on the next batch of guppies and fending off her own mother. Overall, Candira lived a very average childhood, surviving in the sea, sating her natural curiosity, and finding a love of seahorses, exploration, and building. The largest influence on Candira was her sister, Danee. They were born together, and her mother always claims they popped from the coral, having chewed through their fetus-protection, at exactly the same time. Danee always acted older and would claim knowledge, to the point of making things up. One afternoon, Candira, Danee, and their brother Nisheem ventured to the coast. In an unfortunate turn of events, Candira witnessed the murder of Nishem at the hands of a Myrian. The girl was scarred, always reminded of the woman's hungry look, throughout her life. The murder changed little of Danee and Candira's relationship, only causing them to spend more time together. Over the years, Danee began to question things - things her people taught. She would always confront Candira: why not kill something, how come they don't have a city on the surface, what's beyond the horizon and in the stars? Her questions always confused Candira, and the girl adamantly stuck to the teachings of her people with a similar ferocity. Eventually, when they were nearing seventeen years, Danee left Charbosi to explore the world and answer her questions. Their parting was easy; for, it was always understood, they would meet each other again. During her teen years, Candira attended school until the age of fifteen, when she was deemed acceptable by her teachers. In the years following, the teenager explored the ocean floor, once even swimming as far as Riverfall and back in a great journey. Her mother had another three sets of children, and the guppies made Candira feel old. Her father's attention turned away from her, and in turn she bonded more closely with her sister. Candira was anxious to experience Mizahar, and the curiosity that defined her race began to consume her. After Danee's decision to travel, Candira wandered Charbosi confused. She felt she had no purpose. So, with fear and excitement and urging from a childhood friend, the girl decided: she would travel the longest journey yet, with no promises on her return date or plans.
