Physical Description
Brunette and leggy, Safera is a study of elegant curves and gentle rises at five foot seven. A dancers lithe body upon a willowy form. She has long brown hair that falls in a shining rush to her hips, a tumble of dark hair kissed with streaks of warm caramel. Set in amid those curls are a series of tiny intricately woven braids. Some tipped by carved wooden beads and tiny bells, others wrapped in variegated threads.
Her features are classic, an oval face with high cheekbones, a dainty nose, and large clear eyes the color of the sky in summer. Perfectly arched brows and dark tinted lashes frame rich brown eyes, the depths of her gaze is almost always warm, lit by some little secret joy. That same little secret holds her mouth on the edge of a smile as well, lips that are almost too pouty tinted a rich shade of rose. She has burn scars along the curve jawline and the edge of her right cheek. They continue down her back and wrap around her right leg. While they aren't horrendious they are notiable and she often wears her hair to hide the ones that follow the curve of her jaw and cheek. Her windmarks follow the lines of her burns along her back, side, hip, and leg.
Character Concept
Personality
Easy to smile, quick to laugh. She is fun, with a sunny personality and silly sense of humor, in a word playful. Yet there is intensity in her as well, and a bright mind that can offer up intelligent conversation and cutting wit with the same ease. She can be slow to warm up to new people, but once she considers you a friend there is nothing she wouldn't do for you. Safi is very loyal and like most of her clan has a very strong sense of loyalty and pride.
Morals and Flaws
She is ever optimistic, a bit of a dreamer, and she tends to keep her fears hidden from most people. She has been on her own since she was 14 and has become very self sufficent and indipendant. A child of the Ruby clan she is a talented artist, creating beautiful pots and delicate embrodiery alike. She rarely ever ventures away from Endrykas, instead always following as a part of the migrating city.
Joys and Fears
She is terrified of grassfires and she has trust issues because of the loss of her family. She can come off as if she doesn't care that she has isolated herself but in truth she is very sensative and wears her heart on her sleeve. She also tends to sell herself a little short if she perseaves that someone is in great need. She is also very self concious of her scars, though they aren't nearly as bad as she believes them to be, and she has a very hard time believeing that anyone would ever find her attractive.
Character History
Safera was born into a small family and given the name at her birth. She was the youngest of only two chidren and her mother died giving birth to her. She was raised by her fathers second wife and spent a great deal of time learning the art of pottery and decoration from her Grandparents. Her father was a talented tent maker. Her Strider chose her the summer that she was just 10, a palamino yearling mare called Luvarie, and the pair became inseperable. For the most part her life was typical, almost unremarkable really.
Until the fall of her 14th year. She and her family had gone with a caravan out into the sea of grass. They were caught in one of the sudden grassfires, and everyone save the webber leading the caravan and Safera perished. When she woke she found herself back in Endrykas with nothing save her
horse. Her grandmother had stayed behind and Safera lived with her until the elderly woman passed away 4 years later. The only living relative she inherited her grandmothers tent and meager possesions. By then Safi was becoming an artist in her own right, and was able to earn a living with her emroidery.
