AppearanceRace: Svefra
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Birthday: 9 Spring 494
Birthplace: Suvan Sea
Appearance: Hidden underneath a mess of dirty blonde ringlets mingled with wooden and clay beads, stands the 5'8" Adria Waywind. She wears a daring smile on her heart shaped face, lined with thinnly curved lips, held with sturdy, pale white teeth, and marked with freckled, rosy cheeks. Her nose is thin in nature, tilting upwards ever so slightly, causing a concave dip. But of all features to make remarks upon, her eyes are what make her the most curious of sorts. Adria's dark blue eyes hold two peculiar looks that intertwine with one another. The first, is her undying curiosity. Her curiosity is so strong that her eyes emenate it, putting an odd look upon her as her eyes analyze the bright world before her. While her eyes can be full of such curiosity, there also lies a deep whimsical expression that reveals her philosophical outlook as she looks upon the world with familiar eyes that hold secrets and internalizations.
Holding the young Svefra up are her broad shoulders, that lace with the bulging muscles of a sea-fairer gracing her arms. Upon those are paints the portrait of the gnosis mark of oceanus. Her long hands resemble those of a hard worker as they are lined with scars and calices, allowing her to perform day-to-day tasks without the worry of feeling wary of the repetition. Her hips pertrude from her long torso, allowing to be able to birth children from a young age. Just below that lie her long legs and her caliced feet.
Often wearing the garb of a traveller, Adria dawns mismatching pieces that could use a good clean as well as a few stitches. When presented a day in the colder months, she finds herself wearing her long white blouse, which starts just below her collar bone with a fragment of the white shirt material and then divided by a band of lace that hangs just above her chest. The shirt itself cascades out, allowing her a loose fit of comfort. To go over her white shirt is an over-sized navy blue coat that once belonged to a lost lover. Its elbows are covered with brown leather patches while her cufs are stitched with gold. Several button line her right side, covered in gold with the emblem of a distant land on them. For trousers, Adria prefers her tan corduroys with patches of red fabric spread through out them. Most importantly, she treasures her bulky, black leather combat boots, which have kicked many in the gut in numerous occasions. At times, she finds herself in the need to wear her wolf skin as a drape around her, but only in extreme conditions.
For accessories, Adria likes to wear beads she has collected over the course of her life. Her brightly colored beads all represent important moments in her life. She also enjoys all sorts of rings that she has collected over the years and can remember how she found each one.
Throughout the warmer seasons, she envisions herself in brightly colored crop-tops with her trousers rolled up and her feet bare. She is not afraid to take extreme measures to ensure her with the appropriate temperature.
Character ConceptPersonality: Adria is larger than life with her wild personality. Typically found with a keen interest in her eye, she is enthusiastic about life and people. Through her eyes, each day is full of something new, which ultimately excites her. She loves to partake in adventures and does such by exploring the Suvan Sea in her Casinor. On terribly rainy days, she loves to curl up with books and scrolls and read about the tales of others as they overcame obstacles.
While Adria loves people and warms up to them rather quickly, she has a difficult time trusting them with life or death matters and tends to rely on herself, causing her extreme self-confidence to overcome her and put her into even more dangerous circumstances. Because of this, people tend to realize that while she says so much and spends a great deal of time with those in need of her company, they never really knew anything about her personally.
Her strategy for survival is that she doesn't have one. Tending to work things out as she goes along, she enjoys the idea of how unnatural organization is. This often gets her into trouble as she tends to lose things as well as find herself rushed. She doesn't seem to mind the race that is her life, though as she is able to put her fears aside and face unknown dangers.
In combat, Adria swings about her cutlas at a rapid pace, but once she is hit a few times, it is easyfor her to trip and fall. Her clumsy nature tends to cause her to have random bruises all over her. She also can never be trusted near fragile heirlooms as she will indeed break them.
Adria is still able to manage in life. As she is quick-witted and is able to draw clever conclusions. Her effort tends to pay off at the last second, which always keeps her on her toes. Her childlike nature allows her to think creatively in tough times as well as relate to children.
Ethics: As a Svefra, Adria often sees a strong importance to share. She would give everything she owns to ensure to equality of those she meets. To her, there is nothing more important than fighting for a just cause, seeing that if a group is being silenced, that they will be spoken for. She believes the only way to justify death is oppression of the innocent. And even then, Adria prefers using her mind to solve situations than dealing with them up front.
Likes: Adventures, excitement, watching the stars, books, children, spirits, violin
Dislikes: Waiting, being alone, heights, spiders, death.
Character HistoryPre-creation: From birth, Adria Waywind was different from her half twin sister, Penelope, as Adria was born with the gnosis mark of Oceanus. Even though her mother died during her birth, Penelope was still loved and cared for by Adria's mother. Together, Penelope and Adria were inseparable. They grew up playing on their small ship, getting into all sorts of mischief. Yet, once Adria began to acquire control over her gnosis, things began to change. Penelope filled herself with envy as Adria ws able to control small schools of fish, or be able to alert the family when something lurked beneath the water. Penelope determined she would rather spend time with her killer whale Tavan, than watch as Adria would entertain their several younger siblings and her otter Tavan.
When the girls turned 15, their pod decided to join with another pod that also had twin boys, in hopes to grow in wealth and strength. The small pods combined, but neither of the men wanted Penelope, as she was self-centered and quite mean. Before Adria knew it, she gave birth to a beautiful, healthy girl that she named Star.
Adria's good fortune soon fell short one summer evening when Penelope murdered the only two women older than her, making the Lia, Penelope. Soon after, Penelope was able to pin the murders on Adria, by showing that the cuts in the two womens' necks were made by Adria's cutlas. For Adria's punishment, she had to watch the drowning of her child and lovers and then be thrown off the ship. With her childhood Tavan long gone, Adria was left to die alone in the sea as she clung onto the raft she was allotted. For almost two days, she wandered the open sea without any sign of life of fresh water. Just as she found herself fading, a storm hit, causing her raft to break in half and have her fall into the ocean. She woke up on the back of a dolphin as he dragged her to the shore of Zelvita where her first of many adventures begins.
