| − | =====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#466b69;">Appearance</div>=====
| + | She's a small, shapely thing - a once gawky foundation turned to womanform. Or turning, judging by the chub of her cheeks and occasional stumbles, fumbles and tumbles (she's a ditsy helmsman). Her voice is bubbly and boisterous (inside voice? what inside voice?) and her tongue as foul as a sailor's. A tad of fire touches her blonde hair and her eyes are the sky and the sea. Beyond that, no real noteworthy brands. She's got a dim-witted smile though. |
| − | A slight sprite of a creature with delicate features, Fhae is... a ''wisp of smoke''. Shaped lithe, her muscles are wanting - though that isn't to say she lacks tone entirely, she's just built for agility; ''de''fensive, not ''of''fensive. A figure that - in design - seems graceful... but in actuality, luckless and gawky.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Her hair is a mint green, fashioned in pig-tails and parted just off-center. Fhae's eyes are a piercing red wreathed in a long lace of lash and darkened along the corners by kohl, charred petals and/or stones. A noticeable scar tapers over Fhae's left eye (a product of her clumsiness and ill-timing.) Her skin, blemished here and there by other noteworthy injuries, is the typical Keeper complexion and as such, burns easily in sunlight.

| | + | : [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLV4_xaYynY All Along the Watchtower] |
| | + | Chani grew up as a typical Lominsan youth: playing pirates, pulling pranks on tourists, pissing off the deckhands... She was happy (even with three older brothers tormenting her mercilessly.) Unfortunately her mother caught a cold, and it developed, and one can see where this leads to. Except before her passing, their was hope. An expensive one. The family's father (a failing merchant) said ''"'Ey!"''... and turned to gambling. If he could just get that jackpot! Needles to say, he racked up some serious monetary debts (the drinking didn't help). And when the hope faded and the family should've moved on... well, he approached a pirate gang for financial assistance. Except after a while the benefactors suspected the father was attempting to weasel out of his servitude, and so the Knights of Barracuda were anonymously tipped off on a "major pirate den" at Chani's residence. Acting on this information, the Knights ransacked the place, setting it ablaze and arresting the three brothers. Luckily (or not so?), Chani's escape was masked by the ensuing takedown of her brothers. As for the fate of her father... well, none of it she's very sure on. And as there's nothing she's been able to do (or find) in the ten years since, Chani has drifted on with her life. |

| − | Around her neck dangles a bell-pendant - tinkling like wind-chimes with the subtlest of movements. Fhae also commits to the time-honoured tribal paint of her people, accentuating her cheeks with blue-purple flicks and edges.

| − | =====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#466b69;">Personality</div>=====
| + | A loudmouth and tomfool, Chani is knowledge-starved and thrill-seeking. Trouble's her name and danger's her game. She acts out of her best interests and isn't above pushing someone under the choco-coach if it means another day of life in her lungs. I advise you to watch your pockets around this one: what's yours is hers, and what's hers is hers. And expect the unexpected. Or maybe she's predictably unpredictable. Good luck! |

| |
| − | : <font style="color:#466b69;" size="3">■</font> Born in the Eastern Shroud to the Fhae family - shamans regarded for their mystery, cunning and eerie intuition. Clan totem: (red-eyed) frog.
| |
| − | : <font style="color:#466b69;" size="3">■</font> Raised harmoniously with the forest and its spirits; affinity for nature, as expected for a Fhae. However: not particularly as clever (or attentive) as her kin and struggles to prove herself as time goes on.
| |
| − | : <font style="color:#466b69;" size="3">■</font> Occasionally visits Gridania and hamlets as they wander the Twelveswood - selling/exchanging herbs (medicines, spices; incense), their "gift of divine insight" (fortune-telling), etc.
| |
| − | : <font style="color:#466b69;" size="3">■</font> A fateful night by campfire: their (proud) perception neglects to caution them of a nearby Ixali troop. Slaughtered or separated but all lost, Cima Fhae (eight cycles at this point) is a lonely survivor.
| |
| − | : <font style="color:#466b69;" size="3">■</font> While slinking through the Twelveswood a half-cycle later, Cima is drawn into the throng of trees by a familiar song. She stumbles upon a campsite, unknowingly discovering the wandering swordsman, Fohcs, fast asleep. Foolishly drinks from a pot of mushroom-tea and finds herself [down The Rabbit Hole]. Fohcs rescues Cima from the self-induced nightmare and shows her the "bright side." Cima pours her lonely little heart out.
| |
| − | : <font style="color:#466b69;" size="3">■</font> The two decide to stick together and lead a nomadic life for several years - every once and a while reacquainting themselves with civilization. Fohcs' views and values grow on Cima and she adopts many of his attributes as her own, considering him a funny-sort-of-father-like-figure. Troublesome duo of teacher and student.

| − | Cima Fhae awoke with a start. The boughs of her perch quivered and creaked, and she thought with sleepy wonderment if her shaking was enough to tremble the entirety of a tree. ''Of course not'' she realized with the gradual re-emergence of her senses. ''A storm brews''. She reached to the vine-snare adjacent to her living-branch, retrieving and equipping her bow and quiver before descending the length of the tree with astonishing fleetness for one arising from a drowse. Her feet met the floor at the precise instant thunder shattered overhead - and had she not been in a foul mood, she would've mused (as children do) that she carried with her the weight of giants, ''even her footsteps were thunder''!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Bouncing away from her forest-fort with a whispering fare-well, Fhae attempted to free her mind of night-terrors by focusing on her objective: storms spooked the wildlife and, with the tree-leaves caught up in excited chatter for the anticipated rain, now was her chance to hunt. She had never been good at the hunt - her brothers and sisters and cousins were of the bow, she... was of the "flower." Her mother had put it kindly. Taja thought she was disgraceful. But what had she known anyway - she had all boys. Euna had been able to talk to the forest, too! But then - ''muma thought it was bugs that did it'' - Euna went deaf. ''And she couldn't teach me about the forest-talk anymore.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Fhae halted her sprint, faced with a fork in one of the Twelveswoods' many roads. Crouched low among the brush as she considered her direction, a sudden voice struck out to her. That there was even a voice ''here'' was curious enough... ''a stringed song'', both foreboding and alluring in sound. Ears cocked, she listened closely... incredulously... and with a pang found its familiarity:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <center>''~ O! little light''
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''~ Direct me stray''
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''~ O, forgetful sprite''
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''~ I'm lost on my way''</center>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''That song'' drifted from beyond the paths, and so Fhae followed. Gentle drops of rain began their pitter-patter and the Shroud heaved a sigh.
| |
| − | <center>''~ O! silly wight''
| |
| − | | |

| − | The final verse faded in a ghostly hush as she stalked out from among the branches and skirted the small campsite; analyzing the area. Her stomach tightened as she realized the only form of life there seemed to be... ''fast asleep''; a large shape, curled among blankets. The fire was flickering to a finish. ''But... who?'' Fhae felt her face contorting miserably as the tears began to well. She was defeated. Sopping wet, she moved slowly out into the openness of the glade and tip-toed to what remained of the fire, desiring warmth as she fell to an overwhelming wave of loss and self-pity. The stranger had constructed a sort of hanging-blanket (tarp) as shelter for himself and his things, and as she approached the pit she noticed a silver-bowl dangling over the dwindling flames. Sniffling, she peeked into the pot, and found her tears melted away from the wafting steam. ''Tea...'' she deduced upon further inspection, and again she was reminded of (what felt like) a life long past. ''Story-telling by moonlight with muma's tea and honey... and pupa's music...'' With a glance to her side, Fhae discovered a discarded cup among fabric-covers and stooped to pick it up. She submerged the glass, dipping it, and with the retract noticed fragments floating in the drink... but with a sniff, it smelled of nothing but peppermint. Shrugging, she sipped at the hot beverage while avoiding the foreign scraps. A tranquil warmth gradually sunk in as she swallowed the draught. WIP.
