Yeva of the Silent Shadows

[Yeva]

Yeva of the Silent Shadows Basic Information Race: Myrian Date of birth: Late Spring 482 AV Age: 27 years old Gender: Female Height: 5'8" Weight: 142lb Hair colour: Light brown Eye colour: Hazel Profession: Tracker Physical Description Myrians all look the same: tall as hell and scares the shyke out of you. This one though, she just looked like a tall woman with a nice ass. I almost forgot she was one of those savages until she caught me looking at her and gave me this icy, feral glare, then a slow smirk, then a black eye. Still can't see out of it to this day. Standing at an average height, her frame is angular and not one to gain muscle easily. When combined with practiced agility and preference toward stealth, Yeva makes for a competent warrior and excellent tracker. In contrast, when the Myrian speaks, the words are often heard loud and clear, not so much from volume but from the slight chill and timing of her words. Her curves are subtle and a bit bottom heavy, but otherwise her body is fairly proportional, making her a target for leering stares if it were not for her child-like height. Her eyes are a sharp brown, the inner lids tattooed red to symbolize the gouging of their tribe founder's, Kyna's, eyes by a Dhani and her eventual victory despite the devastating injury. The surrounding black ink mimics a tiger's own markings, and highlights the importance of sight and insight to their clan. The slim, pale blue triangles that decorate her light, tawny cheeks are the mark of the kukri, a weapon favoured by the Silent Shadows for its versatility, its sharp, inner edge marked by the thin, ink of red. In her youth, she sported a braided mohawk, but soon grew tired of the upkeep and now settles for a simple, brown braid. Typical colours of choice for clothing are dark hues of earth tones which aid in hunting from the shadows. Character Concept Yea I know her, the cold bitch. Dumped all this tanning work on me the other day in exchange for a little sugar. Never held up her end of the bargain, probably off somewhere chasing after spoors by herself. You're not going to find her, a Silent Shadows is never found when they don't want to be. Cunning, manipulative and mutable, Yeva is in general a free-spirited Myrian. Though responsibilities cannot be neglected, that doesn’t stop her from finding opportunities to reduce her work load. Even so, she has proven herself to be a valued member of her extended family in her skills, though the tracker thinks of it more as an enjoyable way to pass time. The bouts of focused effort are as rampant as her thoughts and emotions, appearing and reappearing as they please, and are as unpredictable as her nature. Like her kin, Yeva is an independent and aggressive individual. Her wants are frequent and brief, whether be the heat of another or the glory of a successful hunt, the Myrian strives to fulfill them as they come. Gratification comes easily, for her desires are rarely long-term goals, leaving her with a hollow sense of satisfaction and an endless chase for fulfillment. Yeva is a Myrian who enjoys wit and humor in any situation, often responding with pleasant intentions despite her biting sarcasm. Due to the sardonic way she speaks, her attempts at rousing laughter are at times awkward failures which causes her to subtly withdraw from contributing to the conversation. There will be quips here and there, but without the responses she expects, her interest will continue to diminish, creating an air of indifference. If she must remain a part of the discussion, her impatience will make itself known, resulting in increasingly compulsive behavior. Morally, her principles are questionable. Yeva will do what she has to in order to survive and prosper, even if that means bending the rules in her favour. Self-centered and at times selfish, the Myrian is rather thoughtful toward those of her tribe and those she enjoys the company of, often showering them in gifts more often than attention. Despite her detached demeanor, she is quite prone to jealousy, lashing out at both parties with equally, deadly venom. Regretfully, she is horrible with apologies, and typically, she merely leaves them be until they've forgotten. If not, she continues on as if nothing had happened, resulting in many hurt feelings and lost friends.

Interview (WIP) General Information : 1. What is your Name? Yeva of the Silent Shadows. 2. Do you go by a nickname or pet name? Do I look like some sort of tamed beast to you? 3.

Describe yourself as you see yourself. Strong, beautiful, intelligent, witty. One loyal to the goddess-queen, the mother of our people, Myri. A dangerous nemesis to have in the thick of the jungle. 2. Describe yourself as others typically see you. Sardonic, indifferent, secretive, lazy. Some men dare to see me in a lecherous light, but no longer. I've made sure of that. 3. What is your favorite body feature? I'll have you know, I am not so conceited to say, "must I pick one?". My choice is the curve of my lower back to my bottom. Since it is pronounced, I sometimes experience pain there when I push those muscles close to the limit. 4. How physically fit are you? Very, as all Myrians should be. 5. How do you typically dress and what is your style? I dislike the attention of standing out, in the wilds or otherwise, so I prefer dark, earth tones. Mobility is important, so I dress lightly and if armored, wear leather. Family : 1. Who are your parents and what are they like? 2. Do you have any brothers or sisters? Several, 7 others.

Myrian, Common and some Arumenic. Apparently in Common I sound like some sort of beast with my rough accent, and worse so in Arumenic. The latter was taught by an human scholar, for his knowledge was his attempt to survive. Foolish was he, but fortunate was I to pick up on some phrases before ending him. 4. Do you have any odd mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? 5. Do you have (or want to get) any tattoos or piercing? Why do you have them (or will get them) ? Occupations : 1.

No. I prefer to keep my weaknesses to myself. 3. Do you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else? 4. Have you ever been kissed? If so, describe the first time.
