L

By night, when the light of Leth is high in the sky, Taurina sparkles in her Ethaefal form. She is beautiful and other worldly with a soft, easy grace that is only explained by the fact that she is one of the Ethaefal. Her body is fit and slim, weighing at a hundred and fifty-five pounds and

standing at approximately six foot tall. Her eyes are a stunning shade of indigo with flecks of silver in them that have an almost eternal look of wandering in them. Her face is slim and oval shaped with lips that have a defined cupid's bow and pinkish tint to them. Her eyes are big and almond shaped with a proportionate nose sloping down in between them. When she smiles indents form in her cheeks on either side of her mouth. Her skin is soft and opalescent in color with iridescent tints that resemble the moon.The only difference in her skin tone is in her face where her cheeks have a rosy tint to them, adding some color to her face. To compliment her face she has long, loosely curled hair that comes down to her lower back.

The glassy stone horns all among Taurina’s race are blessed with grow up from her temples before curving backwards in an ornate downwards spiral and along with her hair, the color of her horns change with the seasons. When Morwen takes her rule over Mizahar, Taurina’s hair spirals down in a shade of white that resembles the snow. Her horns during Morwen’s season contrast her hair in that they are an ink black color with just a bit of dark violet at the tips and along the edges. With the new beginnings spring brings, the colors of winter leave the woman’s hair and horns. Taurina hair changes to a soft lavender gray color while her horns turn to a pearly shade of white with tints of blush pink. Summer brings with it warmth, but the color of Taurina’s hair turns to a cold ink black while her horns are an ombre that transitions from a dark green color to a bright emerald color. When Fall comes and the leaves turn, Taurina’s hair and horns change with them. The Ethaefal’s hair turns to a dark crimson color while her horns turn to a shimmering deep shade of gold.

Breakdown of Ethaefal Appearance: :

When Syna’s light shines and stretches over the land, Taurina is reminded more deeply of her fall from Leth's domain for her body becomes the fragile human form it was in a past life. In this form she is a mere five foot, four inches tall that weighs a hundred and twenty pounds. She looses all the beauty of her Ethaefal form and turns into something she tries hard not to despise. Her figure is slim and fit, not overly so, but enough that one can tell in her past life she did some sort of physical work that toned her body. Instead of the opalescent color of her Eth skin, her skin becomes an somewhat dark porcelain shade that is marred by all the flaws that come with being human. She carries the scars and mistakes of her past life that she cannot remember more than whispers of. Her hair is cut in many layers that reach down to her lower back in the longest layers with various tiny braids mixed in (hair length and style different from current model). The color of her hair doesn’t change in this form but instead is stuck at the color of dark brown with highlights of muddy blond on the top of her head. The eyes of her human form are a boring brown shade that make her crave the light of the night and the beautiful thing her body transforms into with it even more. In this inferior form, Taurina has tattoos lacing up her back in an intricate, wispy pattern that resembles something like the wind. The windmarks cover up some of her more severe scars that she earned in her past life. While most things from her past life are lost to her, she remembers earning the windmarks. The memory is hazy, but she feels a connection to it and knows that for some lost reason it is important. She also has scars on both of her hands that she once believed were from the day she was initiated into reimancy, but as of early spring 517 she realized they must have always been there and she just never paid close enough attention to see them before her initiation.

Breakdown of Human Appearance: :

Like the god Taurina loyally follows, the Ethaefal has a dark and mysterious personality. She isn’t shy really, just introverted and takes a step back quite a bit to observe what is happening around her. She is loyal, but takes her time to trust people fully and allow her emotions to freely show. Once her trust and good opinion of someone is lost it will never be gotten back. She is not really a gentle person, but she has the potential to become one. Within her lies a chaos and darkness that has not fully been tamed, but is somewhat tempered by her faith and her desire to not let it control her. She hasn't quite mastered finding a good balance since her fall. Her world has changed from being taken from the life cycle and taken to Leth's domain to falling through the crack back down to the world she once believed she would never touch again. She is a lost soul who searches for her purpose and a place to belong.

As a human, Taurina's personality is very similar to how she is in her Eth form. She is still rather introverted, loyal, but slow to trust and searching for her place in this world. Little is known to her about who she was in the life her daylight form reflects. The culture, family, and land she once knew is lost to her. However, she has a curiosity and longing to know who she was in that life and a desire to learn about the people she once was apart of. That is the main personality difference between her two forms, the knowledge that there is a people out there who are what she was and her desire to know them once again.

.: Before Creation :.

During the summer of 513 an Ethaefal fell from grace back into the cruel reality of the world. In was dark and the water was raging so it was by luck alone that the fallen being made it out alive. She was found the following morning unconscious, washed up on the shores of Mura clutching what looked to be a piece of driftwood. A kind fisherman who lived among with Konti took her into his home and took care of her. Those first days have always been a blur of confusion and unknowing. The Eth had to get used to the world around her, to the changing forms, and the fact that the only name she knew her mouth could no longer shape. Early on, with the help of the fisherman, a name was picked and that name was Taurina.

Taurina spent a season with the fisherman and slowly adjusted to the world around her. She adventured in Mura and found it interesting, but it did not feel like home. The Konti women were kind and welcoming, but she believed to stay in Mura was not the plan Leth had for her. Still, she had grown close to the fisherman and he was teaching her what little he could about the world she had returned to. Some of the Konti women taught her some other things as well, like some of the basics of drawing and tattooing as well as reimancy. After some begging one Konti woman initiated Taurina and the Eth began to learn the very beginnings of how to manipulate her res. Eventually though, it wasn’t enough and her soul longed to be connected with her past so that she may possibly figure out why she was back here instead of back where Leth had taken her once before. The problem was that she didn’t know anything about the life her earthbound form reflected. All she had were strands of out of context memories that made little sense.

Her first mission was to figure out where her earthbound form came from. Many of the Konti she met and knew could only tell her that she was human in her daylight form which only added to Taurina’s frustrations. She searched for any information she could get ahold on and was close to giving up when she stumbled upon some luck and a Konti woman who had been outside of Mura before. She found out from this Konti that she might be one of the Drykas, paired with the tattoos on her back and one of her more particularly strong memories this seemed like the answer. Taurina decided to give it a try at least and began to pack her things and get ready to say goodbye.

Things took a turn for the worse, however, when her fisherman friend got sick. Taurina put her travel plans on hold to be with him. She wasn’t much of a nurse so they would just talk and when he was too weak to talk, she told him of the little bits and pieces from her previous life that she remembered. Important events were still in chopped up pieces in her mind that would come and go. She remembered the reason for the marks on her back, a bond that was more important than anything else with a creature most powerful and respected. There were pieces of her past family who had surely moved on to their next life by this time. There wasn’t much, just like gentle eyes, rough hands, braided hair that tangled in the wind. Small snippets of detail, but nothing that could answer who she was or why she was here.

It wasn’t long before the fisherman passed and Taurina left the city with others who were leaving Mura. She travelled around, searching for this place called Endrykas. Her travels took her through unknown lands with people from all different walks of life. Inexperienced in the ways of these different cultures, Taurina stuck close to those she was traveling with and kept a healthy distance emotionally from most everyone. It took maybe about two seasons for her to get to Riverfall. On the way she travelled with different groups and saw bits and pieces of Nykas, Syliras, and Riverfall. From Riverfall she purchased a horse and left with a merchant group that was suppose to be trading with Endrykas in late spring of 516.

The travel through the Sea of Grass was much more dangerous than Taurina had expected it to be and things did not go as smoothly as she thought they would. The merchant group she was with got lost, not being as experienced as some of the others. What was suppose to be a twelve day trip out to Endrykas turned into a summer out in the sea of grass. One in the group insisted that they keep heading east and with no other plan, that is what the group did. In the long run she got lucky in that she got to keep her life, not all in the group were that fortunate. At the very beginning of the fall, Taurina and the few who were left of the original merchant group finally made it into Endrykas bruised, battered, and very tired. Finally among the people she had been searching for, she hoped to find a home and a sense of belonging among them, believing that in some way she was still a part of them.

.: After Creation :.

Fall 516 :: In a new city surrounded by new people, Taurina struggled to fit in and find her place. Spending most of her time alone and many nights with only the silent Leth and her sketchbook for company, fear was allowed to blossom and take control over her heart and mind.

Winter 516 :: Hollow and lost, Taurina began her search for a place to belong and a family to share. Though their city was torn between gods and man, she was found in a place of shared brokenness by Azmere who took her home to his pavilion of misfits and orphans. The change was a struggle, but with it came love and patience and compassion. Even when nightmares and storms came, Taurina learned that she was never going to be alone again.

Spring 517 :: In a season of hope and new life and happiness, Taurina bonded with her strider Starfire and shared the experience of gaining her windmarks with Azmere alone. Tied to the web, Taurina became fully Drykas and was reminded of that when her windmarks were found to have disappeared the very next morning. Foolish decisions tore a rift between her and the ankal she had grown to care for, but he reminded her that she was light and forgave her. Even when she did not forgive herself.

Summer 517 :: A nightmare filled with fear of the unknown future brought Taurina and Azmere closer together in the night hours. A race won, a mark upon stone made, and the want for a kiss ignored; Taurina finally accepted that she was Drykas and Ethaefal both and no one was going to take that from her. Just as she had begun to maybe understand her world, it changed again when an unexpected Kelvic bond formed suddenly between her and a maned wolf named Alekxandra. Unknowing and confused, Taurina decided that this had to be the choice of the gods and kept the bond. Promising that they would figure it out as they went, together.

Fall 517 :: A season filled with work, training, and magic. Taurina found that she does not like Walahks much, or at least not the one who taught his reimancy so brutally. Though the season was quiet and hot, there was rejoicing when pavilion member, Rufio, thought gone returned.

Winter 517 :: With Azmere's disappearance, Taurina held on to hope that he will return again. It was only when season end came that she realized he was not and that the sea must have swallowed him whole. Full of grief and longing, the Ethaefal realized her love for him and decided that she could not stay in the place where he had been. Leaving her family and everything she had come to know and love, Taurina headed for Riverfall nursing her broken heart.

Spring 518 :: Though she wished to just be able to forget, Riverfall only caused grief to grow. Seeing Azmere everywhere she went made Taurina moody and lazy, life not seeming worth living anymore. She made mistakes, choices she continues to regret, and learned that running away from the past was not a solution. More important things came when Alekxandra showed back up and it was learned she had become a Nakivak. Promising to never leave again and to protect her, Taurina found a reason to try again. With some help from a client and a need to not be in constant pain anymore, Taurina let Azmere go with a promise to always love him.

by **Taurina** on February 16th, 2017, 1:38 am

They say that home is where the heart is. Once Taurina's heart was lost and wandering. Looking for a place and a people to call her own. The Ethaefal was more or less a vagabond, constantly searching for her place. The journey she went on led her to Endrykas which was once the home she was born into. After a season alone in a tent within the Amethyst clan so that she was close to work, Taurina met Azmere. Ankal and watchman, he found the Ethaefal to be a kindred spirit in need of a family and it was he who gave her one.

In the tent city of Endrykas, within the Diamond clan is the Stormblood Pavilion and that is where Taurina's heart can now be found. The Stormbloods have become family and with them the Eth is at home. They are not the biggest, the strongest, or the most knowing. Yet, they are growing and learning. They are there for each other. Taurina's heart can be found here surrounded by the hearts of her family. She feels lucky to have found them and hopes that life may continue as it does. Trials will come, they have come already, but the pavilion has persevered. She hopes that it always will.

The pavilion tent itself is "constructed from a sturdy fabric over seven latticed panels, the Stormblood pavilion looks white from a distance, but a closer view reveals subtle shades of light grey that combine to make it resemble a storm cloud rising out of the grass. Inside, seperate spaces for the residents are marked off with hanging dividers lined with dark grey felt to muffle sound. Enough extra attachment points are provided to allow repositioning as the Pavilion's needs change. The private side of each divider has been left blank to allow personalisation. A central smokehole opens at the peak of the roof, with space for a hearth immediately below it, and a storage area off to one side, where hanging shelves hook onto the wall lattice." (Adon pg. 18 of OOC)

Taurina's section of the tent is much like the rest. She has kept it simple for now, a place to hold her belongings and sleep. Plans to someday paint the private sides of her dividers have been mentally made, but she does not plan to follow through until she is more confident in her painting. So for now the canvas is blank. The one thing that separates her section from the others is that she has a portion of the ceiling that is more easily flipped up and removed to reveal the sky to her. This skylight of sorts allows her to spend nights inside while also getting a full view of her god which is something that remains very important to her.

Bondmate
Met Early Summer 517

Character Sheet

Taurina met Alekxandra while out sketching in the Sea of Grass on the 17th of Summer 517. The bond that formed between the maned wolf Kelvic and the Ethaefal happened in an instant, taking both of the women by surprise. Taurina has never known a Kelvic before Alekxandra. The woman intrigues her and the bond between them excites her, but also frightens her. She does not know all what it means or how it works. The idea that there is someone from whom her emotions can never be full hidden is terrifying, but also brings a sense of peace. It is the idea that she will never be fully alone as long as she remains bonded to Alekxandra that brings her this peace.

Spending fall and winter apart, the bondmates reunited in Riverfall in the Spring of 518. They remain unknowing of each other, tip toeing around the imaginary lines they have subconsciously drawn around themselves. Taurina trusts Alek, wants to protect her, and maybe in some way loves her. But the time spent apart took the pair backwards rather than bringing them closer. They work now to bridge the gap, slowly growing closer even as outside forces try and tear them apart.

Within the Pavilion

Azmere

Met Early Winter 516
Character Sheet

Taurina and Azmere's relationship can best be described as complicated. He is her ankal, her friend, and someone who causes warmth to spread through her body when they touch. She doesn't have the words to describe the feelings she has when around him, but she does know that she trusts him. He has taught her what it is like to feel safe, protected, and to some extent loved. She once promised to never leave him or the home he gave her when bringing her into the Stormblood pavilion. A misadventure in the spring of 517 challenged this promise, however, and since a confrontation upon returning Taurina is unsure of where she stands within the pavilion and with Azmere. Her heart aches to erase the pain she has caused him, but if she has learned one thing in this life it is that the past may be forgotten and maybe even forgiven, but never can it be rewritten.

Winter of 517 Azmere disappeared into the Sea of Grass, leaving his family to fend for themselves. Taurina held onto hope far too long that he would come back and when the end of the season came she finally let go and believed him to be dead for no one came back after so long gone. Her heart shattered, she left the pavilion and Endrykas and ran away to Riverfall in an attempt to hide from her feelings. This did not work well and the Eth found herself trapped within her grief and guilt in a different city. It took another pushing her for her to finally let herself let go and remember fondly, but move on.

Haena

Met Mid Winter 516
Character Sheet

Haena joined the pavilion with her two children not long before Taurina was brought into the family. The Eth has not interacted with her much, but does find her interesting and is curious to learn more about her.

*More to come as threads progress

Jasmine

Met Early Fall 516
Character Sheet

Jasmine was the very first Drykas the Ethaefal met and the only one who she has known throughout the whole of her being in Endrykas. She trusts the blonde probably second most to Azmere, considering her a close friend and confidant. She sees Jasmine as a strong, beautiful, and determined woman who did not get what she deserved with her first family. The past is the past, however, and all they can look forward to is the future and making it better. Jasmine lived through her ordeal and came out the other end with her soul intact from what Taurina has seen. Like a sister, Jasmine has in one way or another always been there for the Eth and she has helped teach Taurina what it means to be apart of a family. Wherever they go from where they are, it is Taurina's hope that she only gets closer to this one she calls friend.

Taurina feels guilty about leaving Jasmine perhaps most of all. They were friends and Jasmine was pregnant when they parted. She wishes she could go back and say she is sorry and make everything better. But she also worries that she will be locked out, pushed away, and not accepted back by anyone, but especially not by her friend. So Taurina remains in limbo, wondering but not feeling brave enough to try and go back and face her friend again. Only time will tell if family will ever be family again.

Rufio

Met Mid Fall 516
Character Sheet

Rufio is the second Stormblood Taurina met. The pair met when Rufio came to get windmarks repaired at the Lilacwind pavilion during Taurina's first season in Endrykas. Taurina finds the mixed blood woman to be energetic and adventurous. An interesting, free spirited soul. She does not know her too well because they did not get much time to learn about each other before Rufio left at the end of winter 516. Taurina hopes that one day the woman will come back and they will be able to rectify their lack of a relationship despite having been family for a season before Rufio's departure.

With Rufio's return there was chance for a relationship to blossom, but time was not on their side. Trapped in her pain, Taurina let no one in including the bubbling and energetic soul of Rufio. She left her as well and while she regrets the lack, strangers are easier to mourn than friends.

Outside of the Pavilion

Merevaika

Met Mid Fall 516
Character Sheet

To this day Taurina still does not know Merevaika's name. The two have met twice now, the second meeting going better than the first. The short haired Drykas confuses Taurina more than most. She had told the Ethaefal that the gods move against her. She is a self proclaimed murderer of her sister's child and the Eth has witnessed her taking advantage of the less fortunate. Taurina finds her to be selfish and manipulative, but also is interested to run into her again. She thinks there is more to meet the eye when it comes to this one she often refers to as "the thief" and wants to reveal those deep, hidden layers. She also desperately wishes to learn the woman's name, finding it infuriating that the woman has not revealed to her even that.

Naiya

Met Mid Fall 516
Character Sheet

Taurina first met Naiya when she first met Merevaika. Her opinion of the red-headed Drykas that day was low, but it has since grown. During the harsh winter the two teamed up -along with Naiya's baby boy Shai- during an interactive story Bull narrated at the Anchor of Gold and Earth. Taurina found an acquaintance outside of her family in Naiya and decided to go to her in the spring when given the task of furnishing the Stormblood's new pavilion. The pair truly got to know each other during the trip, actually learning each other's names that day to hopefully not forget again. Naiya is a strong Drykas woman and a loving mother in Taurina's eyes. She looks forward to getting to know her better as time goes on and thinks it good for herself to have friends outside of those just within her pavilion.

Turrin

Met Early Spring 517
Character Sheet

In the spring of 517, the Ethaefal met Turrin and the misadventure that followed is the event that caused emotions to run high upon Taurina's return home. Despite all that happened, Taurina finds Turrin to be interesting and she still is not angry with him for taking her on the adventure. She blames herself for having brought up the idea at all. He had just taken her idea, used her own curiosity against her, and dared her to go with him. The Eth did not want to back away from a challenge so she went. Turrin has a lot of life experience that Taurina does not have and so she finds herself curious about him. He is a strange man, different from most all Drykas she has met. She would not mind still being a friend to him (as long as they stuck within Endrykas and did not go on anymore misadventures without a Drykas with them), but it seems that Turrin has disappeared. Taurina has not seen him since the trip out to the valley.

*Subject to change as threads progress and relationships evolve

Starfire

Name :: Starfire
Age :: 3 years, born Winter 513 (age unknown to Taurina)
Sex & Breed :: Stallion, Strider
Size :: 16 Hands
Coat :: Pure white, luminescent during night hours
Acquired :: Bonded in Spring 517
Thread :: Catcher of Dreams

Starfire is still very much a mystery to Taurina due to the fact that their bond is still very new. He is patient with her, but more pushy than Melody. He follows her around and in his eyes she sees a fire that reminds her of the strider she was bonded to in her past life. The pair have not yet been through much, they still are exploring each other, and learning how each works. That said, if Starfire was lost to Taurina it would crush her. Their bond is already strong and only gets stronger with each passing day.

Bonding with the white stallion was a game changer for the Ethaefal who was loosing her hope that Leth still watched over her. Now that she has Starfire she believes that he was sent to her by her god and has a renewed hope that this is the path she is suppose to be on. That she belongs in Endrykas among the Drykas and that she is meant to become apart of their culture once again. Because of this belief that he is godsent, she frequently refers to him as "zulkina" or "my zulkina".

Melody - Sold

Name :: Melody
Age :: 5 years, born Spring 50th 512
Sex & Breed :: Mare, Colorsplash
Acquired :: Starting Package

Melody is a very mellow, easy going horse which was exactly what Taurina had been looking for in an animal when purchasing the mare. The pair have been through much together. A summer traveling the Sea of Grass with merchants, a fall where they were each others only friends, and the gaining of a new family come Winter 516. Despite the fact Melody is no strider, Taurina loves her and takes care of her like a prized possession. Melody is apart of the Eth's family and that is unlikely to change.

Upon returning to Riverfall, Taurina found someone to take Melody off her hands as she could not hope to afford living in Riverfall and boarding two horses.
