Kuroageha Sugawara
[edit]
Kuroageha is a Raen/Xaela cross-breed originally from the isle of Koshu in the nation of Hingashi. She's an extremely quiet woman, barely speaking above a whisper, who rarely shows anything but a placid, polite, lovely exterior. With a unique beauty courtesy of her piebald scales and dark blue-black coloration, Kuroageha moves through the world as unobtrusively as possible until given the exact moment and opportunity to strike. The daughter of a samurai and a geomancer and on a self-defined quest of vengeance, the Au Ra woman is not the most easily approachable but when presented with a problem she shows a kindness of heart and a seemingly unflappable patience. Unless one is Garlean...
Standing at roughly 5 fulms even, Kuroageha is not a physically imposing person. With her quiet nature, she's not a particularly imposing person at all- were it not for her unique coloration she'd easily slip into any crowded place where Au Ra are normal visitors. Her appearance is, however, unique. Piebald, iridescent scales that trend towards the softness of snakeskin rather than plates decorate her body while large, tilted blue and silver eyes gaze up through long black lashes. Her limbal rings are almost luminescent, particularly because they are set into eyes with a Xaela's black sclera. What little make-up she wears is subtle, shades of blue and a hint of liner on her eyes and a dark tint to her lips. Wide cheekbones and a sharp chin give her a slightly imperious look that is softened by her eyes and the fullness of her lips.
So deep a blue it appears black in all but the brightest sunlight, Kuroageha's hair is one of her only real luxuries. She spends a great deal of time maintaining it's length and health. It falls nearly to her knees with only the most subtle of waves and is rarely held back with anything more than a simple tie or hair-band to keep it from her face. Unless, of course, she is performing. Then her hair is pulled up in elaborate styles with a truly dazzling array of hair pins, flutters, flowers, and ornamental combs. When in combat, the Au Ra tends to braid it in a single, simple braid down her back to keep it out of her face. Aspects That Stand Out:
Kuroageha is best described as "quiet". Not only her speaking voice but her demeanor as well. She comes across as shy to most, though the truth is she prefers to observe for some time before interacting with people. Difficult to rattle, the Au Ra projects a calm and somewhat distant demeanor. Certain things will bring her out of her shell- a particularly fine performance, a good meal, or discussion of martial or magical matters will pique her curiosity and she becomes more animated and engaged, though no less quiet.
When in combat or on a mission of some kind, Kuroageha shows a completely different aspect of herself. She is keenly focused, driven, and ruthless. While not an indiscriminate killer, she believes completely in the mercy of a swift death. She demonstrates a vicious and murderous hatred of Garleans, though as with most other aspects of her personality, it is a quiet and insidious rage rather than being marked by loud outbursts.
