Background
A daughter of the Tumet tribe, the formerly unnamed Xaela was bound to a tree in her youth. A sharp and perceptive Xaela, she constantly questioned the nature of tribal conflict, even in her youth. The Tumet tribe was stalked by a group of slavers around this point in her life, kidnapping the youths bound to trees and selling them in the Ul'Dah markets. This girl was one Tumet unfortunate enough to have been captured before her clan caught the slavers and eliminated them --- but it was far too late for her. Already in tow, she was forced onto the streets of Ul'Dah, being sold to a wealthy noblewoman who noted her beauty. Collecting numerous girls for a dance troupe to entertain her clientele, she was named Ishtar and adopted the performance troupe's name --- "Maldyst".
The noblewoman made them train vigorously day and night, and the older members had to do unspeakable things to keep their positions. Despite it being slavery, it was much safer than the unknown streets of Ul'dah, with no coin or blade to protect them. Admired, but also shamed for her scales and growing up in a largely Thanalan based group, Ishtar being coveted resulted in blows to her self esteem by the other girls, who became jealous. On the eve of her 17th birthday, Ishtar grew even more beautiful, ruining the chances of the other girls to retain attention and their position in the noble house. Her troupe mates bound and gagged Ishtar, one of the eldest using her connections with a client of the mistress to have her tossed out onto the streets of the slums in hopes that she would be killed or never find her way back, as the city was vast and she had never left the noblewoman's mansion.
Ishtar, however, flourished, never seeking to return. Forgiving of their betrayal, but also embittered, it awakened a cut-throat shrewdness in her needed to survive. 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. Eventually, Ishtar obtained vengeance. Returning to her mistress older, and much more beautiful, Ishtar robbed the noblewoman blind --- in addition, she meandered off with the clientele list, exploiting the patrons one by one and exposing and selling their secrets to one another.
Working as an information broker and scammer for quite some time, she used her talents as a dancer to gain new information. Upon hearing of the Dragon's Crown Tavern, a new, popular establishment, and their need of dancers, Ishtar took it as an opportunity to satiate a developing boredom and move onto a new era of scamming adventurers. While her intent isn't exactly malicious, she's often less than trustworthy.
Appearance
A typically beautiful denizen of the realm, Ishtar is as beautiful as the deserts she blossomed in; standing rather tall and slender, Isthar's arms are lengthy and toned, with a defined musculature adorned with the black scale of the Xaela. 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 often binded into two pigtails at the base of her neck, and notably, she possesses thick, well arched and defined brows. Her lips are plump, and constantly moving as she is constantly talking, often in various shades of makeup.
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.
Due to her "Adoption", Ishtar is disconnected from the Xaela tribes, and does not self identify as a member of her clan as she was never named or accepted into it after her kidnapping. While she wishes to reconnect with her childhood, she understands the life she's carved now is the only one she's capable of thriving in.
Other Info
♦ Ishtar has a variety of skillsets that don't appear to be limited to dancing or thievery. It can be assumed she developed them when she was with the Tumet, as they were a Xaela tribe. Currently, she is learning black magic to be of more use.
♦ Her accent is not typical of anyone from Ul'Dah, and it's unknown how she attained her manner of speech.
