X'shah Zinbhe

X'shah Zinbhe About Birthname: X'shah Zinbhe. Birthplace: The Sagolii. Age: Young adult. Gender: Female. Race: Miqo'te. Ethnicity: Seeker of the Sun. Orientation: Heterosexual. Marital: Single. Deity: Azeyma. Demeanor X'shah has always managed to remain just out of reach. This miqo'te thrives on one talent at the fore of all else — the ability to convince those who interact with her that they understand a great deal about her while never truly betraying the hand she was dealt. This aspect of her personality has proven a double-edged sword; earning her the intrigue and ire of those she encounters and interacts with. Deliberate words and guarded glances cannot hide all, however. With a mere brush of her presence it is easy to perceive her as a tightly-wound coil unwilling to part with trust, riddled with double-standards and opposing personality traits that actively work against her and her goals. She is a meddler, yet solitary. Insecure, yet imperious. Naïve, yet bright. A veritable dynamo of youth without the wisdom to channel her energies into productivity. Openly following in the footsteps of her vaunted mother, X'shah has recently mantled herself in the faith of her uprearing and is now a fresh-faced recruit among the ranks of priestesses of her sept. Appearance This miqo'te has the wild look of a predator who chases its prey for sport rather than the meat. Her height and the cast of her physical structure is unimposing; X'shah being pear-shaped with excessively broad hips and massively thick thighs. Her windswept burgundy hair is coarse and massaged with a healthy sheen of oil. Both ears are blotched black, a tuft of ruff peaking each. Perhaps she can be considered substantially pretty by city-standards, however, she's a little more than rough around the edges from inhabiting the Sagolii for many, many moons. Her skin is pockmarked from claw and fang of predators she has opposed for territory or dominance. Teeth-marks honeycomb her ears, one left completely ragged. Her stubby tail is bumped and crooked, even if bristling with shiny healthy hair. Swathes of scarification and semi-permanent henna score her flesh — honoring her role as Speaker of Azeyma, daughter, grand-daughter, and Lynx. Not even her face has remained unscathed from ritual scribe: two gouges were cut and healed over long ago into her cheeks; three lines of bumps dot her chin; her forehead sports a design of raised welts masterfully branded at an early age to signify sept devotion. Role-Play Hooks • X'shah frequently wanders most of the Sagolii and Thanalan. Chance meetings are frequent and encouraged. • She is eager to learn about her culture. Tribal miqo'te taking the time to teach her is always and forever welcome. • X'shah is recognized as a Speaker of Azeyma along the vein of crazy cave hermit due to her frequent furloughs alone into the desert. She is currently in the process of the creation of a Seeker-friendly shrine in the Goblet.
