Cicatrice

[Cicatrice]

Name: Cicatrice Age: 18, looks to be about 15. Born the Winter of 491, day 5 Gender: Female Physical Description A soft and angelic face, with wide eyes the color of deep violet. To stare into her eyes carries the risk of becoming lost in their depths. Her white hair is shorn short, framing her face in soft feathery locks, stopping just under her chin. She stands at a short 5'1, her frame skinny and flat. She's been mistaken for a boy before from her lack of curves and short hair, much to her annoyance. Her clothes, forced to wear by her mother, are made to hide her gender and heiratage. Black and unassuming, they deflect attention away from the girl. Character Concept Cicatrice has grown up in Sunberth, so she's learned not to show weakness in front of others. She's generally cheerful, and she has a strong will. Though most would just call her stubborn. This stubborness sometimes gets her into trouble, but nothing she can't handle. Cicatrice has been discouraged from making friends, and exploring any talents that might bring attention to herself. The girl is conflicted, as her respect for her mother comes in conflict with her inherent gifts and her interests. Cicatrice tries to keep her spirits up, but every once in a while her unhappiness overwhelms her. She doesn't cry often, but sometimes she can't help it. Because of her upbringing, Cicatrice doesn't really know what she is. She knows she is 'Konti', but the word doesn't mean anything to her. Cicatrice has the gift of sight into a person's past pain. If she comes into physical contact with someone, there's a chance she can have a vision of the situation that caused the person te most pain, whether that be physical or emotional. If the vision is strong enough, sometimes the emotions of the event are transferred into her. Character History Maeva was once a slave for a powerful slave trader, forced to use her powers to further their exploits of the people. It drove her insane, to the point where they couldn't trust her judgements. Desperate for another Konti, the men raped her repeatedly until she began to show signs of pregnancy. She was put under careful watch so she couldn't escape. But one night, one of her guards became ill and left, leaving only one guard. With the one man, Maeva was able to break away from the slavers, escaping into the wildlands. Whether it was luck or divine intervention, she made it to Sunberth. She found a trade in fortune telling, as no one trusts a mad healer. She made enough money to buy a small home, where she gave birth to her daughter: Cicatrice. Growing up, her mother always talked as if they were being chased, having to hide from 'them'. That 'they' were after them. Growing up, Cicatrice was discouraged from making friends, as he mother believed no one could be trusted. Cicatrice was allowed to work on her fortune telling, but that was the only skill she was allowed to work on. She had interest in art, and magic, but whenever she expressed an interest to her mother, Maeve became hysterical about keeping her daughter hidden, and threatened to keep her locked away if she ever spoke about it again. Needless to say, the subject was dropped. About the time Cicatrice was 10, her mother opened up enough to the outside world to force the young Konti to take lessons in martial arts and swordplay. While she protested vehemently, Cicatrice excelled. A little while later, her mother forced her to dress as a boy, to try and hide her Konti heritage. There can't be a male Konti, so people wouldn't look at her as anything other than a strange child. She continues with her lessons, paying her way with her fortunes, and taking care of her insane mother.
