K'hora Sani Country Before Coin  About
General: Originally from the Azim Steppe in Othard, K'hora Sani was born "Horasani" and went by that name until the death of her birth mother at the age of seven. At that time she was formally taken in by small settlement of K tribe miqo'te that had sheltered she and her mother for three years. K'hora took a new name in the Seeker of the Sun tradition with her tribe's letter prefix and retained the portion of her name she shared with the last tie to her past, her mother "Alusani". K'hora lived and hunted with her sisters until she turned sixteen. Appearance: At fifty-two ilms, K'hora is tall for a Xaela female. She is physically strong with an athletic build and weighs one hundred and ten ponzes. Her skin is a warm brown hue and her irises have a striking crimson tint. Her horns and scales are a little lighter in color from a distance than other Xaela. Upon closer inspection they appear to have a pearlescent luster at the seams and ridges that has a hidden iridescence that will only reveal itself in firelight or brightest moonlight. The scales and tip of her tail are smooth to the touch despite the rough appearance they give from afar. The smaller barbs near the tip of the tail will soften and lay flat when she is relaxed. The tail itself is prehensile, capable of holding significant weight for its size, coiling itself around objects, and delicate movement when called for. She has full control of it when she wishes but it will follow the whims of her emotional state and express itself with independent movement. Scars & Markings: As a veteran soldier and adventurer before that, K'hora has numerous faded scars that appear as faint lines of a lighter color on her dark skin. Her innate healing magic has prevented any from forming any serious scar tissue in her skin so they can be seen but hardly felt. K'hora chose not to completely erase them as they healed, preferring to keep them instead. Each scar is a symbolic link to a memory she should not forget. Voice: K'hora has an unusual voice for a Xaela. Her early life with her adoptive tribe has lent certain Seeker Miqo'te inflections and seven years living in Ul'dah has resulted in her unique accent. She has a naturally sultry voice with a deep, rich laugh. Clothing: K'hora is most often seen wearing the armor of a Flame Elite befitting her rank. Her garb is in fact an illusion fashioned by a complex system of glamours linked to the distinctive jewelry she wears. The earrings, bracelet and rings act as kind of 'memory' for armor and clothing she is fond of and allow K'hora to summon glamours over herself when combined with her own magic... K'hora often uses her glamours to hide any traditional weapons such as her sword from view so it is difficult to know if she is armed. When not in uniform K'hora wears a variety of outfits as she goes about her business or leisure pursuits. As an avid dancer she often wears clothing that allows freedom of moment and/or flowing pieces intended to catch the eye as she dances. One of the more notable features of her appearance are the handcrafted ears she often wears as a headband. Originally made by her miqo'te sisters as a gift to make her feel welcome in her new home, she continues to wear them in her adult life though there have been many made and gifted since that first pair years ago. K'hora is friendly and lively when engaged in conversation though she may not always initiate it with strangers. This is not out of any tendency to be shy as she is far from it. She has a habit of subconsciously tracking others around her. Be it their movements or words, if something sparks her interest as curiosity or danger, she will turn her attention to the source. She is fond of female company and will flirt with those she finds attractive. She rarely filters her speech for the sake of others and will speak honestly without care of offending others though she is rarely vulgar. K'hora will always act with the common good in mind and if a rule needs to bent (or broken) she will not hesitate to do so. She may choose not to intervene in matters of lawbreaking, preferring to leave such matters to the Brass Blades unless she witnesses the act or a threat to civilians is present. She is a passionate woman and those passions may lead her on a course that causes difficulty for herself. Revealing or being discovered to be involved in illegal activity will not necessarily result in her being at odds with another. If she deems the offence to be minor she will likely overlook it and not press the matter. If the offense is despicable in her view such as murder, forced slavery or, rape of another she may attempt to arrest the suspect. If witnessed or confessed to she may execute the offender on the spot, regardless of repercussions. As an officer in the Immortal Flames she is something of a talking point among her fellow soldiers. Though she has been a command ranked officer for seven years she has not been assigned with troops of her own for long periods since the battle with the Imperial VIIth legion at Carteneau. Rumors concerning her duties between Carteneau and her new appointment as a magical combat instructor in the Free brigade six months ago speak of classified field work abroad ranging from diplomatic expeditions to some labeling her as little better than an assassin. K'hora herself is content to let others concoct whatever fictions they desire so long as it doesn't compromise her work. K'hora has twice held the higher rank of Flame Captain and since been demoted. The first incidence of her demotion is now years past but still makes her blood boil as she felt she was caught in the fallout of the political games of others within Command. After later regaining the rank of Flame Captain and despite acquiring a better awareness of political dangers to her position, fate decreed she was to lose the rank again by her own actions this time for which she took responsibility freely. The Flame General himself presided over her court martial and questioned her on the reasoning that had led her there. Though he accepted her actions on a personal level he could not overlook the actions themselves. Along with her rank she lost her position under his direct command as a Bloodsworn. Though several called for her dishonorable discharge to be enacted, she was instead assigned her current role as instructor and recruiter for the Free Brigade and stationed in Ul'dah. K'hora understands the significance of that judgement and tries to honor it well. Despite the often secretive nature of her duties over the years, the consensus among the Flames is that she is fiercely loyal to those she fights with and they to her. For as much trouble as her passions cause her, they have resulted in more commendations from her fellow soldiers than marks on her record. Combat: K'hora carries a rapier as her personal weapon when on duty and is capable with it in combat though she sees it more as a simple part of her uniform than her true offensive tool. She is a highly capable battle mage and utilizes a unique combat style that is as contrary to conventional wisdom as everything else about her. Though she has the means to stay at a safer distance and attack from afar, she is known for being right in the front with her infantry at close range. Dancing and weaving her spells in quick succession to confuse and break enemy formations coupled with the limited but effective healing magics at her command make her an inspiring sight on the battlefield and popular with her troops. The distinctive dance she employs in combat is a means of channeling and controlling the innate magics she possesses. Not knowing what they were when she first discovered her talents she would later learn that were untamed forces that loosely fell under the purview of thaumaturgy or conjuring. The diametric opposition of both types of magic to each other caused problems until she devised a means to channel and balance the energies within her by means of special dance-like movements. She weaves magic about her in faint strands of elementally-aspected aether. The dance amplifies the potency of the spells and makes them almost impossible to defend against because they will coalesce instantly and sometimes strike twice in quick succession to break any wards that were lucky enough to deflect the first elemental aspect of her attack.
