Character

Background

Her history prior to her recent occupation is shrouded in more mystery than her scant-clad body, but Ishtar is familiar with both a pair of blades, and strangely enough, wielding an axe. Born to parents who operated at smugglers and thieves, their ventures brought them out of Thavnair into Ul'Dah, young Ishtar in tow. Using their daughter in their less than savory plans resulted in her detached, laissez-faire personality — until their inevitable arrest. Initially joining the other orphans in the streets of Ul'Dah, Ishtar quickly disassociated herself from the antics of her peers, sharpening her blade in secret and stabbing those around her in the back metaphorically until she matured into her looks. Being plucked off the streets by a mistress, she was recruited for a dancing troupe, the "Black Lapin". Donning characteristic black ears, the group worked under the mistress for her high paying clientele, which consisted of wherever the imagination would go.

Eventually, Ishtar betrayed the trust of her troupe and meandered off with the clientele list, exploiting the patrons one by one and exposing and selling their secrets to one another.

Appearance

A typically beautiful denizen of the realm, Ishtar is as beautiful as the deserts she rose from; standing rather tall and slender, Isthar's arms are lengthy and toned, with a defined musculature. Her legs are long with supple, oft exposed thighs, and her torso is as long as everything else on her. Her hair, sandy and straight, is worn parted around her face and often tucked behind her ears, and notably, she possesses thick, well arched and defined brows. Her lips are plump, and constantly moving as she is constantly talking --- eyes dark brown, with a slight red hue. Her face is dotted with a few moles.

Personality and Behavior

A intuitive and sharp tongued woman with bold brows and a bolder sense of fashion, Ishtar is extravagantly sassy and known less for her dance and more for the wide amount of information she appears to know — a giggly and oftentimes vapid pub frequenter, Ishtar chats men out of their wallets and secrets, being paid to learn or divulge secrets in Ul'Dah’s underground. She's entirely greedy, and easily excitable, although much of her personality appears to be an easy going front so she can charm customers, other times she often appears to be irate and disengaged from those around her, seemingly vacant and reflective --- but, who knows. She could just be dreaming about gil. Ishtar presently saves a large amount of gil, despite her insistence upon nice gifts from her suitors and patrons. Commonly found glistening in gold, or opulent black silks, feathers, and couerl furs.

Other Info

♦ Ishtar has a variety of skillsets that don't appear to be limited to dancing or thievery. One can assume they were due to her time in the Black Lapin.

♦ Her accent is not typical of anyone from Ul'Dah, and it's unknown how she attained her manner of speech.
