NANITHEL “NAN” FROSTFAWN ”Love I get so lost, sometimes days pass and this emptiness fills my heart when I want to run away" Basic Information Race: Mixed blood (Frostfawn Vantha mother & Pitrius Isurian father) Birthday & Age : 92 Day of Winter 494 AV (17) Gender: Female Physical Description Nan has black naturally wavy hair that reaches past her shoulders and has a faint turquoise sheen to it, her would be dark olive skin has a faint pale blue hue, especially nder the aurora, and in strong light thin white veins can be seen right under her skin. Her eyes are normally a vivid dark blue colour thus reflecting her melancholy and calm personality. She stands at a height of 5'3" and weighs 155 Ibs, she has the ethereal beauty of a Vantha, her eyes are a small and slightly tilted downward at the outer corners, her nose is small and straight and her face is quite square shaped. Nan is more heavily built thanks to her Isur bloodline but it is only strong bones and muscles on her and she still retains the grace and delicacy from her Vantha heritage. In a rough description one can say that she inherited her mothers looks and her fathers personality. Influence from her parents: From her fathers' side she has a pale blue hue to her dark skin and faint white veins under her skin that doesn't protrude like they normally do on pure Isurians. Nan also has her father's short stature and strong physique and is bulkier than normal Vantha is. The "el" at the end of her name is also from Isurian tradition. From her mother's side she has her dark hair, olive skin, colour shifting eyes and a slim athletic body that considerably helped in making Nan much sleeker than an Isur. She's inherited her mother's graceful skill in dancing. She is also taller than the normal Isurian. Character Concept Nan is melancholy, shy, a daydreamer and a rather negative person, though she calls it being realistic, she prefers to observe and only interacts with others when necessary. She has more of her father's personality and has very little of the Vantha characteristics. She would rarely seek help from others and she will do anything to hide strong emotions or tears as she is very afraid of getting hurt emotionally. This causes some to see her to be as icy as the land she hails from, but if someone would take the time and effort to get close to her and earn her friendship they will learn that she under all her ice is a kind, loving and loyal person. Much of this need to use an icy facade comes from her being of mixed blood, though having a loving home she feels lost and alone even when with her family, so to save herself the pain of being rejected she keeps a distance, though by that she misses out on a great deal in life. Though never meeting her Isurian father Nan is like him introverted, cold and very headstrong and if someone tells her she can't do something then she will do it to prove herself. Having growing up outside Avanthal at the Frostfawn Hold she has a deep affection for animals, she has her mare Windy and her small weasel Ita, she is also a music lover and has an interest in learning dancing. She is also a tea lover and always tries to have tea leaves with her so she can make tea when she wants. Character History Nan was born in the Frostfawn hold outside Avanthal, her mother's husband had died in a hunting accident and so Nan's mother met an Isur and conceived a child with him in a spur of passion. They never met again. When Nan was born she was taken care of by her mother mostly but also by others in Frostfawn. Nan's first three years oblivious about her unusual looks. As she aged though, she noticed her different skin, greater size and weight compared to the other Vantha children and in fact she was also teased a by the Vantha kids until the adults realized it and ended it. Partially because of this incident did Nan start feeling different, like she didn't really fit in, but it was also the result of her mixed blood. Her mother remarried when Nan was four years and Nan soon got a younger brother that she helped taking care off. When Nan turned nine her mother and step father had gotten three daughters and all together had five children. Nan had an altogether happy childhood and she was treated just like another Vantha child but she felt more out of place the older she got, and her personality was so different than many of her extroverted friends and relatives. It got easier for her when she was given her own horse, she'd saved up half the money for it herself, she named the mare Windy. The young mare was only tamed but not used to a rider so Nan got help from an experienced horseman Vantha to train Windy and herself. As they learned together a close bond developed between Nan and Windy, and Nan who'd been learning how to hunt had great help from Windy. Around this time when Nan had reached 11 she went to see the queen of Avanthal, the goddess Morwen. She wanted to see if she could be granted a gnosis mark despite not being a pure Vantha, Nan desperately wanted her own gnosis mark to be able to survive when hunting and most of all to feel like she really belonged to the Vantha. A few years later Nan had evolved her hunting and riding skills and also started learning dancing, she also had another animal kin, a small weasel that she'd found in the forest near her home. He was a deep chestnut with a snow white belly, she named him Ita and he made sure to make her life more exciting as he had a devious streak, and he always slept curled at her throat. When she neared the age when she was allowed to get married Nan started to feel restless and afraid, she felt so misplaced sometimes and she did not want to get married when she didn't even feel like she truly belonged in Avanthal. So in the autumn the year she was turning 16 she left her hold with Windy and Ita to see the world, have some adventures and maybe find out where she belonged. Nan's kin animals: Windy is dark grey, lightly dappled Frostmarch mare with a white mane and tail, 16.5hh (1.67 cm) and 7 years old. Ita, a small weasel with a deep chestnut body with a snow white underside, probably around 3 or 4 years.
