Chichek ( /chee-check/ ) has got to be just the nicest, sweetest little cupcake from the Dotharl tribe that you've ever laid eyes on. And considering who her people are, that's just downright unnatural. Such an observation is only the beginning of peculiar descriptions that could be formed about this oddball of a lass. With a measley height, a plump build, an adorable face and a sing-song voice, it's almost painfully obvious she couldn't be one of the clan's even slightly efficient harbingers of violence and death. And when she isn't spouting off about things that seem to bare little correlation to much else, she's a rather nice person with a quirky sense of humor; certainly not the typical kill-on-sight Dotharl people whisper about.

But you know what they say.

Looks can be quite deceiving.

Appearance

Chichek is a tiny little Au Ra who's appearance brings the words "harmless" and "squishy" to mind. There is very little athleticism or lean muscle apparent in her build, but the plump little Auri lass has somehow avoided a run-in with obesity thus far- probably due to the typical hardships faced in everyday life on the Othard Steppes. It's like someone stepped on an hour-glass and squashed it, then stuck some horns and a tail on it: that would be Chi's body shape. Her shoulders are narrow but a bit rounded, and her tummy has a little bit of squish going on; this is easily overlooked by her ridiculously ample bust, broadened hips and thick thighs. She carries a lot of weight in these spots, a recent development in her later years of life- it's as if after she couldn't grow vertically any more, her body began to grow horizontally in certain areas instead.

Often seen with a pleasant expression and prone to giggles and smiling, the darling little Chichek doesn't seem easy to provoke or distress: at least, not in the usual ways one would expect. She's often seen leisurely wandering about with a pep in her step and a cheery hum under her breath, face lit up with unwarranted merriment as she goes about whatever-it-is she does. She looks entirely approachable and wonderful to interact with; what could possibly go wrong from such a sweet-looking Au Ra?

She has a round and cheery face with utterly pinchable cheeks, framed by short and feathery hair cut into stylish layers. Her side-parted bangs cover the right side of her freckled face, and if one cares to stare, there is a notable bright yellow gleam coming from only that one covered eye- her visible eye is a similar shade of dull-pale-green as her hair. Interestingly, her skin has a light greenish-greyish tint to it as well, giving her an overall naturally matching color scheme; even her freckles are dark green. She has delicate facial features, a "baby face" as some would call it: big, expressive eyes, rosy cheeks, a small nose, and plush lips that seem to have a permanent semblence of a smile at their corners. There is only one unsettling feature about her appearance that isn't immediately noted: her grin will reveal a set of trianguarly-sharpened teeth, a set of choppers fit for only the most vicious of carnivores.

Her favorite choice of attire is very "girly." She loves ribbons and bows, frills and lace; the more, the better! Dresses, cute blouses, frilled shorts, long stockings, mary-jane style shoes or feminine boots are usually her first choice in clothing. Nearly everything she wears has the same color scheme that she was naturally born with, but she's been known to throw some browns, pinks and white into the mix.

Personality

First impressions of Chichek normally leave one with the thought that she is a very happy, but very odd girl, and easily excited on that note. Her attention span (or lack thereof) leaves her to hop from one subject to the next, especially if there's interesting things or people displayed before her. She seems almost kind of dopey at first (who could be so cheerful in a world like this, after all?) but this strange little Au Ra can certainly prove she's got a peculiar intellect underneath her jolly-giddy-optimism, if one gets to know her. She seems like the sort who is blissfully honest and open, often speaking about whatever is on her mind at that exact moment; but a little-known fact is that Chi can be very deceptive and lie exceedingly well, if it means she can get what she want or detour questions about herself that she doesn't wish to answer.

To say there is a dark side to this beaming little sunflower is a severe understatement. Despite being open about her love of atmospheres containing fighting, bloodshed, even torture and killing, one will often write this off as a remnant of Dotharl-esque preferences instilled upon her not by her own choice, but from the culture she was brought up in. While that isn't entirely false, it's not entirely true, either. She has some very sadistic qualities in her personality, and the only reason it isn't constantly displayed in her demeanour is because it seems very normal and natural to her; it simply shows when something brings it to attention. She doesn't empathize with pacifists or peacekeepers whatsoever, but she isn't necessarily going to be abrasive about it- that's just how Chichek is.

And the fact that she practices the healing arts is not to be taken as an indicator of gentleness. Chi does not heal to bring comfort and rejuvination, but rather, she heals so she can instill those feelings and then take them away by her own hand. To put it simply, the only reason she is sorry to see anyone injured and suffering is because she wasn't the one to make them suffer in the first place. Unbeknownst to others, if her aid is requested, nine times out of ten she'll close the wound only to tear it open again in giddy delight. One of the few ways to avoid this is to prove oneself capable of repeatedly causing bloodied spectacles of violence in her presence, and then she would deem the person in question worth keeping alive and healthy for her own gains of reveling in their massacres. Otherwise, it's really nothing personal if one finds themselves a victim of her heal-and-maim treatment. She's endlessly fascinated by the physical and emotional reactions, the bloodshed, and the whole aura of the situation- and has not been known to exclude any potential candidates for any reasons, save for the aforementioned.

That being said, Chichek is drawn to those who seem to possess an aptitude for violence, chaos, or both. She is not hesitent to try reaching out to even the most intimidating and dangerous of people, knowing that her favorite fascinations will tend to follow in their wake. And though it isn't really Chi's style to start unwarranted violent conflicts, she can and will fight back ferociously, if necessary. Like the rest of the Dotharl clan, she does not fear death; this is quite evident in how she retaliates against severely failed attempts at engaging dangerous people or creatures. The tiny woman attacks like a vicious animal intending for either side to be obliterated completely as a means to an end of the scuffle. Using claws and sharpened teeth, blows to the most disabling or sensitive areas, and utilizing anything and everything she has within reach, there is absolutely no fear in this lass. Her pain tolerance is amazingly high, perhaps because she knows she can soothe her ailments as soon as she's done with whoever is insisting on harming her; or perhaps because she's too focused on their reactions to having their eye plucked out- who knows? She has no favored weapon so far, mainly because it doesn't matter what she's found to fight with, her intentions are always going to be seeing her foe react to being cut or jabbed where she knows it will hurt the most. There is no honor or code in battle for Chichek, only satiating her fascination and ensuring she lives another day to fufill it again.

But she's really a nice person when she's not looking for a victim. Honest!

RELATIONS ♥ Romantic Interest    ♥ Sexual Desire     ♥ Platonic Love     ● Good Standing    ● Neutral Standing     ● Poor Standing ♥♥ ♥ Ochagihm Dotharl : Or Ocha as she calls him; one of the two Dotharls Chichek came to Eorzea with. He seems to be somewhat of a wildcard, having the capacity for brutal violence and boundless curiosity. She knows he's very skilled at "stabbing things" as she frequently tells others, and finds his antics not unlike a spirited puppy. They have fought brutally before, with Chichek taking the victory and establishing a semblance of dominance over the lad- though only temporarily; he has since had a chance to "put her in her place," so to speak; though with Chichek refusing to admit it, they've come to be at a neutral but not unpleasant stalemate. She senses there is something peculiar about his aether, something unnatural and not of this realm. She also enjoys his good sense of humor yet willingness to commit the sort of atrocities she loves, and has subconsiously developed a sort of infatuation with him. Though she has come to believe that his level of intellect may be below hers in some aspect, she feels that there could be something she could learn from him through the process of also teaching him a few things she herself knows. Chichek has decided that she "owns" him, meaning only she is allowed to cause him harm or take his life at her discretion; this also applies to Uraahn. ♥♥ Uraahn Dotharl : The other of the two Dotharls Chichek came to Eorzea with. She finds him a lot more predictable than Ocha, but this doesn't translate to a lack of interest. His willingness to communicate logical plans of action give her a free pass to enjoy her time leisurely, allowing him to do most of the effort when it comes to networking with others. Uraahn was formerly the declared leader of Chichek and Ochagihm, but has since come to terms with the two hardly follow him the way they should be expected to. Before this revelation, and even to this day, Chichek feels she's the real leader, coaxing this "alpha personality" to her will with equally-logical suggestions and taunts that jab at his ego. Alongside with Ocha, Uraahn managed to once subdue Chichek, though the "lesson" he meant to teach her was in vain; her grandiose sense of egotism leads her to believe that he only did what she herself wanted. To her delighted amusement, she finds him quite transparent, regularly expressing the reactions she intended him to portray. Like Ochagihm, Chichek also "owns" Uraahn, and will not stand for another outside of their group injuring or intending to kill him. ● Portia Dolce : A mysterious Hyurian witch. She has been very kind to Chichek and satiated (distracted) her with plenty of sweets so that she can study and record the strange Au Ra. Portia seems to have no fear or apprehension with Chi, only a polite fascination; Chichek is fine with this, as the woman bares the use of feeding her and showering her with compliments. ● Rathar Dotharl : Dotharl tribe-kin. There was some semi-violent tension in their first meeting, much to Chichek's delight. She could immediately sense that this man had an aptitude for ruthlessness within him, which prompted her to become incessantly chatty with him. Her opinion of him is faltering on neutral after his meeting with her other kin; Rathar seems to exude a fair amount of dominance, but Chichek didn't appreciate that being enforced upon something she believes she already claims (Ochagihm). Better meetings have been had between them since, with Rathar bringing her gifts and feeding her ego here and there. She very much appreciates being treated in the manner that she sees herself in. ● Tolon Kahkol : A fair-mannered Xaela of the Kahkol tribe. Under better circumstances, Chichek figures she probably would have eaten his leg without discrimination. But due to the fact that they nearly always meet inside of the Quicksand, she's spared him so far. It hasn't been all bad, she finds his remarks about her rather funny. ● S'honji Hayakawa : A miqo'te that seems far too friendly for his own good. But because he seemed rather undeterred by any of the "subtle" hints of violence and cat-devouring she kept bringing up, Chichek has decided he's interesting enough not to harass (yet). He also has much to say about fashion, which is relevant to her interests, and houses and their interior decor, which she has a mild curiosity about. ●● Kytauna Dusksong : Or "Lady Dusk" as she knows her. Chi isn't entirely sure how much she likes Dusk. She is the first Elezen she's ever spoken with at such lengths, and is properly aware that this person bears the traits of unpredictable, ruthless and prideful- similar to how Chichek operates. She doesn't fear Lady Dusk, but is rather unsure if she'd like to accept an invitation to be allied with her. The woman spoke of loyalty, chaos, something about sides in an upcoming storm, innocents, blood drinking, shadows- Chi found it all rather poetic, but she herself is a simple girl with simple (and violent) needs. She is looking forward to future meetings, however, as she finds Lady Dusk interesting. ● Red : One of a pair of sister Dotharl tribe-kin. Knows very little about her besides what's been asked at face value; Chichek knows that Red is of the honorable warrior sort, wholly immersed in Dotharl culture. She also seems fairly easy to talk to for a Dotharl, a bit more eloquent and knows when not to act like a savage barbarian. Oh, and the color scheme thing- Chichek likes that a lot too, and has earned the nickname Green. ● Blue : The other in a pair of sister Dotharl tribe-kin. She knows just about enough of her as she does of Red. Another warrior who enjoys the thrill of battle and is pleasant to approach and chat with, knows how to keep herself out of trouble and jail. Chichek wonders if Red and Blue are somehow aetherically linked, but hasn't had the chance to taste either of their aethers to confirm this. She settles for calling them each others' shadows, however. ● Yisun Borlaaq : The easily-spooked older Xaela greatly confuses Chichek. One moment they were chatting politely, and somehow Chichek left the conversation becoming her sworn enemy due to her namesake. Though the grudge was a bit late and unwarranted, since the Borlaaq already knew Chichek was a Dotharl and engaged her in pleasantries anyway, Chichek just assumes she's a racist. Every other meeting they've had has lead Chi to find the woman more pathetic and laughable than the last, having passed no threats or acts of violence upon the callgirl whatsoever; yet she has pulled a knife on Ochagihm before Chichek in the Quicksand, then ordered an assassin after her in the same place, for naught but her own misplaced insecurities. Uraahn has informed her that the Borlaaq intends to kill her or start some sort of war with her, though Chichek found this information worthy of nothing more than a shrug.
