Shoshana Re Menehat

[Shoshana Re Menehat]

Character Name Appearance Race: Benshira/Eypharian Gender: Female Age: 22 Birthday: 12, Yellow Watchstone, 492 AV. Birthplace: Ahnatep Appearance: Shoshana has inherited many of the Eypharian traits with long, silken hair of a chestnut hue and olive complexion. Her Benshira inheritance is made obvious by the presence of only two arms, and her light green eyes. She robes herself in the style of a Eypharian female, in breezy linen robes, most commonly in the shade of her house, dark blue. Her eyes are large and almond shaped, her eyelashes long, and dark, her cheekbones high and fine, with a small but shapely mouth, and pointed chin. The half-Eypharian stands at around 5'9", with a figure made shapely by muscles necessary for her dancing. Her face and neck are often painted after the fashion of Eypharian women, and she is given plenty of jewels with which to decorate herself. Character Concept Shoshana has been raised as a sort of pet in the Eypharian house of the South Winds, very pampered pet. First impressions may make others think of her as vain or shallow. Her upbringing has led her to hesitate to open up to others; however, when necessary, she can be charming, sometimes manipulative, creative, and resourceful. Though naïve, she is observant. As well, Shoshana has inherited her Eypharian family's tendency toward high tempers and love of adventure. Character History Eypharians of the House of the Southwinds are regarded as the most adventurous of their kind. When the current family head was young, he acquired a young Benshira, Miriam, who amused him. As in the old days, the Eypharian found it rather easy to tempt the Benshira youth away from her father's tents. She was brought home with him and kept as a sort of novelty and concubine. In 492, she bore the lord of the house a daughter, and named her in the tongue of the Benshira, Shoshana. Shoshana was also kept on as a novelty. She grew up engulfed in opulence, Arumenic language, and intrigue of the house. At a young age she showed promise in the art of Semhu. She began training at the age of five in dance and singing, her lack of arms restrict her from ever being very skilled as an orator of Semhu. Her sire's sense of fairness allowed him to recognize her potential in the craft, and she was often used to provide entertainment to important visitors of the house, who usually found the spectacle to be pleasing (if they were not immediately incensed by the thought of the treasured art being performed by someone with less than half the appropriate number of arms.) As she grew older and her beauty bloomed, she became a sort of geisha to those visitors important to business, entertaining them, making them feel at home, serving them, extracting their secrets, for who would suspect a mere Benshira to be capable of playing the games of the noble Eypharian houses? On eve of her 22nd birthday, Yahal appeared to her in a dream. She was called to leave the Eypharians, told to leave on her sire's ship The Sandsnake the morning of the next day. Understandably shaken by this, her first interaction with a God (who the Eypharian's had led her to believe were just invented to be petitioned when ambitions proved a little harder to turn into reality than expected), she left her luxurious life in the desert. After a long voyage, she was brought to the port city Zeltiva.
