Birthplace: Kalinor
Appearance: Sunette is a frail beauty, comparable to a porcelain doll in most every way. Her skin is pale to the point of almost reflecting sunlight and her hair is shoulder-length, naturally a silver the same shade as freshly woven spider silk with a thin, silky texture to match. She's a whopping 5'5" and weighs approximately 140lbs (though that extra weight is generously distributed to her…
assets.)Her eyes are large and almond shaped, a light amethyst in color. Her hands are slightly smaller and more dainty than the average Symenestra, though this has no hindrance on her in any way. She keeps her nails and lips red as often as possible to match her pendant.
Character ConceptSunette is nothing if not the embodiment of the term "Black Widow." She finds nothing more enjoyable than ensnaring a man (or woman, if the situation arises) and devouring them… literally. Though many Symenestra don't feed on people regularly, that happens to be Sunette's favorite treat. She uses her natural charisma as a lure her target into a false sense of security before striking, feeding off of her victim briefly, then leaving their body as far into the wild as she can manage safely. Thus far, she has not been caught in the act of her feedings and has managed to keep it a secret. Any that have known her have marked her as "bad luck" because of the number of suiters she has managed to lose to the reaper, causing male Symenestra to typically avoid her. Upon recent developments, she has decided to attempt to kick her cannibalistic ways in the name of her God.
Beyond the bloodlust she has acquired, Sunette is a witty woman with a silver tongue dripping with sarcasm. Beyond even that, she still has a sweet, innocent, compassionate side. She prides in her intelligence, feeling a strong mind should counter her unfortunately frail body, and this causes her to be extremely curious about new things. She understands that there are many things she doesn't know, and along with that understanding comes an assumption that she is always missing something, not understanding something. She reaches toward assumptions toward nearly everything, over thinking every action to the point of anxiety.
She has a love for all things beautiful --especially glass-- which lead her into her profession as a glassblower at an early age. She tends to stay fairly detached from others, holding a deep bond with only her mothers pendant, though she's attempting to come out if that for the sake of her own sanity.
Character HistorySunette is the only child of a glassblowing mother and a scholar father, both Symenestra. Her mother survived Sunette's birth by having her removed rather than attempting the usually-fatal live birthing. Her father left Kalinor when she was young, leaving with a Harvest entourage as something of a scribe, attempting to gather information on how to perform the most efficient Harvest. He, however, perished to the monsters that attacked his too-small adventuring party. So, through her early life, it was only Sunette and her mother. Sunette's mother attempted to expose Sunette to everything possible in an attempt to assure that Sunette's chosen life path was fulfilling, telling her daughter frequently,
"If it isn't close to your heart, it isn't worth it." To solidify this mentality, her mother crafted a red, glass heart-shaped pendant for her as a reminder to always consider her heart. Sunette quickly found her passion with glassblowing, as it brought her the fond memory of a feeling mirroring her mothers unending love. This was, obviously, a great joy to her mother as it gave them something solid to bond over. Though Sunette was a cheerful child, she did not make friends. She instead stuck to her mother's side at all times.
At the age of 10, Sunette's mother died of unknown causes. This only strengthened the emotional attachment Sunette had to her pendant, but she slowly began to change. Once a jolly child, she grew darker over the years, a shell of a person without her mother. She kept a positive attitude outwardly, but it was not as pure as her early years. Without her mother as a barrier, Sunette was forced to live with a new family and began to really socialize for the first time in her life. She never grew close to her new family, but found interest in their son. He was the same age as her, tall and handsome and kind. She began to spend many of her days with him, the family assuming they would eventually romantically bind to each other.
Sunette still doesn't clearly remember what happened between the two of them; how he got injured, why she bit him, or even where they were. All she remembers is the rush she felt with the taste of his blood on her lips. Unfortunately, her venom ended his life and she quickly threw his body into a chasm, returning to Kalinor in tears claiming he slipped and that she was heart-broken. He was her first victim, both of them at age 12. Now that she knew she was a fan of the taste of blood, she knew that it would need to be a taste she experienced again. She also knew it would
not be smiled upon for the rest of her kind to know she was killing off their males for snacks. (She never wanted to have children, so she happily ignored the breeding aspect of her killing.) This similar story came up every year or so-- She would form a relationship and he would somehow die by either a monster attack, an accident involving a slip into a bottomless pit, or, in one case, incineration. By the age 21, she had 5 deaths under her belt (she tried to keep them infrequent, only indulging when her cravings really hit.)
On her 22nd birthday, Sunette decided that leaving Kalinor would be a good idea. She convinced a larger Harvest party to allow her to join them on their journey to Riverfall. She survived the journey (though a couple of the men did not…) and split from the remaining group members once in the city, leaving to begin a life for herself without the binds of Symenestra culture.
