 Human Form
In human form Ashe’nya considers herself to be fairly ordinary. Her dark brown hair almost appears black unless in direct sunlight, cascading down just past her shoulders in a single length. Her skin is just the slightest tan, dappled with dark freckles, especially around the bridge of her nose.
Her body frame is thin, but muscled from her hunting in bird form. Standing at a small 5’ 4”, her height doesn’t seem to leave her bother her in the least—even as most tower over her. Despite her height, her limbs contain an inner grace, while her light chocolate brown eyes peer at those around her with a friendly curiosity—though on the rare occasion burn in a fierce gaze should someone bring about her rage. |
Falcon Form
 Ashe’nya’s feathers in bird form nearly replicate her skin. Her plumage is mainly white, speckled with black spots across her entire body—save for her underside. It is entirely white as freshly fallen snow. Her wingspan reaches an impressive five feet easily, and for a bird she weighs just slightly over four pounds.
Her beak is wickedly curved and slate grey, with sharp talons to match. Beneath her feathers lie powerful muscles made for chasing prey rather than simply plucking them from mid air in a dive, or aerial stunts.
Even in bird form, her gaze can be either friendly, or harsh... usually the former more than the latter. |
Character Concept
Ashe’nya is young—and it shows. She has an innate love of life and learning. Gullible and naive she will try anything at least once—even if it gets her into trouble or could possibly cause her harm. It isn’t difficult to talk her into something, especially if the idea is new to her. It of course did not help that her father sheltered her as best he could. If nothing else it only fed her need to learn. Danger almost never comes to mind until it is too late. She rarely will commit herself to something and back out. A promise is a promise, and Ashe'nya will only break one if it is absolutely necessary. Because of her sheltered upbringing however, she doesn't always know she's being rude or outright nosy. She tends to ask questions that pop up in her mind without giving second thought to if the question might be uncomfortable or inappropriate.
While her general forward attitude is bright and friendly—and curious of course for meeting someone the first time—she also as a stubborn streak a mile long. Much like her bird form that is willing to chase any prey for extended lengths of time, this trait has also carried very much over into her human form. Whether it be prey, or the desire to master something, Ashe rarely gives up. However it can also lead to an underlying anger that is rare to flair up—but nearly impossible to contain once released. Her friendly gaze will shift to a dark glare... a challenge to anyone to push her further. Even if she is incorrect in her anger, she will refuse to admit it until she has calmed down. |
Character History
Ashe'nya doesn't know much about her mother. Her father was human, born in Zeltiva, and he had made it a rare occurrence to leave his city. It was on an unusual visit to Avanthal in search of new hunting grounds that he met Ashe'nya's mother Arianna. Their affair was meant to be brief and meaningless—however the arrival of Ashe complicated things greatly.
Her father Marshall could appreciate the beautiful city, however he began yearn for home. Arianna was displeased by his decision to return home, she had not wanted to care for a child alone, so Marshall offered to take their child home with him. While the idea was unpleasant for her mother, she did not wish to be a single parent and begrudgingly agreed. It was only after this agreement however that Arianna admitted to her father that she was Kelvic—and that their child could be as well.
Marshall dreaded being a parent, he was already in his forty's and had never actually been around many children. The fact his child could be Kelvic—a race he knew nothing about— didn't help either. For a man with no attachments, the moment he laid eyes on his daughter he knew it was love. Within the first week of Ashe's life it was apparent she was Kelvic like her mother, but her father refused to let it hinder him. He began the slow voyage back to Zeltiva with his daughter in tow, with the barest goodbyes to her mother.
Having no knowledge of how to raise a child, Marshall did the only thing he could—teach his daughter everything he knew. From what basic Vani he learned while in Avanthal, to reading and writing, to hunting with his very own shortbow. But for all his teaching, he often kept her secluding in the forest. Ashe'nya was sheltered, and her curiosity made it difficult for her father to keep her in one place. As she reached maturity, Marshall decided to move them to Syliras. The city was large, hopefully enough to satisfy his daugther's curiosity—despite all it's possible dangers.
