Relationships

 

Exhalted

RHODRI
Brother

Her nearest & dearest. Shaqira simultaneously admires her older brother, while feeling he cannot quite pursue glory without her. Co-dependent, clingy, possessive, jealous. Shaqira loathes anyone else getting as close to him as her. He is hers & she is his, diamonds amidst muck. Shaqira is a torment to her brother with her meddling & manipulation. Yet, they would not be without the other.

timeline

73 SUM 500	Born into an affluent Eypharian family. Shaqira is cherished by her parents & doted on by her elders.
500 to 517	Shaqira grows up with a sarcastic wit, sharp tongue & insidious charm. To be married off by her family, Shaqira took up interests that would attract worthy suitors—cosmetology, dance, writing and drawing with a particular passion for architecture. On her 16th birth-day she is gifted a beautiful re-curve bow.
WIN 517	Shaqira's brother, Rhodri, is baited into a fight with their eldest cousin, Huruukh. The two Eypharian's battle their tempers with their steel. Rhodri forgets his anger and his strength, and kills Huruukh. He is banished to Riverfall to atone for the dishonour. Bored without her brother to taunt, Sha runs away from home to join her brother in Riverfall, leaving behind a letter for her family.
WIN 517	Shaqira learns Auristics off a mysterious stranger who's also traveling with the merchants. Link to thread to come
SPR 517	Arrives in Riverfall ▸
