Shion Nikki

Shion Nikki "Everything here is a work in progress." [edit] About Personality Appearance History Rumours Music OOC Credit Vital Information ■ Birth Name: Shion Nikki ■ Race: Au Ra ■ Age: 20 ■ Name Day: 25th Sun, 3rd Umbral Moon ■ Orientation: Unconcerned ■ Marital Status: Single Other Statistics ■ Nationality: Doman ■ Tribe: Raen ■ Current Residence: The Shroud ■ Occupation: Woodworker ■ Patron Deity: Azeyma, The Warden Personality Small, sweet, innocent and naive; a little Raen with a short temper and a violent streak fully three malms wide. Relatively untouched by the constant pull-and-suck of conflict, she is a cheerful slip of a girl, prone to bouts of mischief and pranks, though for the sake of propriety she limits them to her immediate circle of friends and family. Shion carries herself with a coltish grace, with manners enough to squeak by for most occasions. Her light-hearted manner, sweet voice and slightly ungrammatical way of speaking belie a sly, occasionally dry sort of humour. She is pragmatic enough, but loves trinkets and adornments just like any other. Shion is possessed of an understanding, loving soul, but will not easily suffer insults or ignorance. Direct enough in speech and quick to snap - verbally and physically - she is nevertheless also quick to apologise. Appearance Best summarised as a black-haired, golden-eyed tiny anger ball, Shion tops out at a little over five fulms and two ilms, and a sleekly muscled 120 or so ponze of Raen. Years of running wild in the Shroud, climbing trees, hunting, hauling wood and honing her woodworking skills have left her with calloused fingers and more strength than is apparent in her slim frame at first glance. Like all Auri, scales adorn her pale skin, encircling her neck down to her chest. A similar pattern of scales wraps around her upper arms. At her back, more scales march down her spine and span her lower back and hips, sweeping down the outside of her thighs. A long tail tipped with five spikes and two wide, wing-like fins at the sides of her head cap off the ensemble. When working at her craft or hunting, Shion favours sturdy fabrics and leathers in dull colours, often in woodland hues of grays, browns or greens. Her daily wardrobe is a simple affair of pants and a plain shirt, with her black hair bundled up in a serviceable bun. For other occasions, Shion can most often be seen in traditional Doman garb, coloured a rich, deep inky blue, and often paired with a spray of pale flowers in her hair. History Born to a family of woodworkers, Shion was a troublemaker from the moment she could toddle and hold something in her small fist. Shion Nikki had neither patience nor restraint, and after she had all but murdered one of the local bullies, she was sent away to her uncle to learn the art of woodworking and patience, and to spare her family the constant frustration and embarrassment of having to explain their daughter's actions. Shion grew to adore her uncle, a large man with an even larger personality and a belly-laugh that seemed to shake any dwelling he was in. Under his tutelage, Shion became proficient in the manufacture of delicately carved wooden items; beads, figurines, decorative panels and boxes were among her favourite items to create. Uncle eventually taught her more than just his craft - he also taught her some basic survival techniques and hunting skills, and after he was bitten by wanderlust, he took Shion with him on his travels, eventually bringing her to Thanalan. But the great city-state of Ul'dah was not a place he wanted Shion to spend most of her time in, and he sent her along to a friend of his that lived in The Shroud. Having spent the last ten years of her life in The Shroud, Shion now counts it as home. While Uncle travels between all three city-states, Shion prefers to remain in the Shroud, occasionally wandering out to Ul'dah.
