Zamora Baltiste

[Zamora Baltiste]

Zamora Baltiste Appearance Race: Human Gender: Female Age: 21 Birthday: 23, Spring 491 Birthplace: Riverfall Appearance: Zamora is taller than the average woman, standing at 5'10'' with an imposing bulk of muscle taken from her father and further honed by years working as a smith. Because of the volatile nature of the materials she works with Zamora wears her light blond hair cut close to avoid any mishaps and, despite its bright color, it is often dulled by the soot from her forge. The dulled dirty tone given to her tan skin and light hair serves as a nice contrast to the bright green eyes that are Zamora's only physical commonality with her mother. Being a woman of practical means and methods, Zamora abhors extravagance in her life and choose to live more ascetically. To that end, her clothes are very plain and rarely is she seen outside of her smithing gear. It is only for the most formal of occasions does she dress up and even then nothing she wears could truly be considered lavish. Character Concept Zamora is one of these people who are defined by what they do. Ever since she was a child she was enamored of the world of smithing, the process of creating. The way her father was able to take a lump of ugly rock and transform it entirely fascinated her and instilled within Zamora the belief that humans were just as capable of divine creation of the gods. From these early beliefs Zamora created a goal for herself: to smith something so perfect, so sublime to warrant the attention of the gods. That being said Zamora is not the type of person to craft just anything. She always viewed the work of a regular smith as tedious and uninspired but always understood their usefulness. The blacksmith creates tools and ornaments for people but to Zamora there was little art, little innovation. It was in armoring that Zamora managed to find her niche. She managed to find a place for creativity and craftsmanship, room to innovate, and a way to craft something useful. Character History Zamora was born and raised in the city of Riverfall, her parents were respected members of the community. Zamora's mother worked as a herbalist at the Gila Medical Center while her father worked as a black smith in one of the local smithies. Growing up Zamora always felt pressure from her mother to follow in her footsteps and become a healer of some kind but that was never the life for Zamora. The art of herbalism never appealed because she always found it boring, Zamora's clumsiness quickly crossed out the potential to be a philterer, and the fact that seeing blood always made the girl throw up eliminated any chance of her being a doctor. It was in the art of smithing that Zamora found her place, at the side of her father as he worked the forge. While generally banned from the smithy during her younger years, as Zamora got older she became more and more involved in the smithy and soon was working as an apprentice for her father. In the forge of the smithy Zamora forged herself and found an identity, a smith.
