Memory Lane

◢ Childhood

"Do you know who you're talking to? We own you. If you fuck up...we have every right to kill you. Don't act like such a princess. You're not going to survive here like that...and we won't care if you don't."

"Why are you doing this to-"

"Shut the hell up and don't talk back."

A dark skinned Keeper flinches slightly, her fists clenched. The monster talking to her little sister made her blood boil; it humiliated her to know that she couldn't save her from this animal treating her with disrespect. It takes all of her effort to not scream at him, knowing she'll just be beaten senseless if she does it. This situation made her sick her to stomach, but she had to survive somehow. Pale yellow eyes look up to examine the male...someone she once considered her brother, who was now simply a husk. A follower. Unworthy of living.

The earliest memories this Miqo'te has revolve around the patriarchy destroying her tribe. She still couldn't guess as to why it happened...she only assumed that the males of her tribe were sick of the women being in charge. They took over, and made the females suffer more than they could ever imagine. Some were beaten to death. If you were obedient, you were lucky enough to survive. If you were ugly, you were even luckier to avoid the sexual abuse.

Kyverra lacked a true childhood as a result. She has no education outside of the things she's taught herself, on a will to survive. Her only friend was her little sister, who is presumably dead. She hates herself for being unable to save anyone aside from herself from this awful event - suicide was something she briefly considered before realizing that it would be useless.

"Everyone must understand...we don't mean any harm. We simply want you to obey us. If you can't listen to simple requests, how do you expect for us to be happy with you? Even the little ones have to learn their place." A young Miqo'te, not older than three, is pulled into view. Bruises nearly cover her entire body as she trembles and flinches, absolutely mortified. "This is the result of being unable to listen to directions. We don't care how old you are."

Personality

◢ Sadistic

Kyverra specializes in torturing her targets until they break. Naturally, she is quite sadistic, to the point where it might be unhealthy. She believes that torturing people who deserve it isn't a bad thing, even if the things she does are downright cruel to the people unlucky enough to become her next target. Her past only influences her terrible opinion on these people. Her clients typically are unaware of how she treats their targets. If she gets a request to be swift, she will, trying to hide her sadistic nature as well as she can.

◢ Secluded

She does not like people talking to her or approaching her for any reason. She would much rather watch people be idiots and laugh about their sheer lack of intelligence. Confronting her often makes her become distanced, and she nearly always tries to find a way to duck out of the conversation. Trying to get to know her is quite unlikely, unless she's with Varicar; he tends to make her much more vocal by being around, simply due to being someone she can trust in case something bad happens.

◢ Honest

This is probably a fault of hers, too. She's incredibly honest with people and is more or less an open book. Though she's picky about the things she will tell someone, she will lay out things such as her past in a blunt manner, sometimes hoping the person will stop asking questions as a result. She's open to telling people about the things she's suffered, if only to be alone. The barmaids at some places hold a fear for her, simply because of how she acts.

Of course, honesty doesn't come with just her past. She can be taken as a harsh person when asked about most things due to her deciding not to sugarcoat anything for anyone. She's pissed off a few people by giving her opinion when they ask her basic questions...not that she cares if people are angry with her. It's not recommended to ask Kyverra if she approves of an outfit you have on if you're self conscious.

Appearance

◢ General Appearance

Kyverra is a dark skinned, fair Miqo'te. Her hair is a burgundy, often worn in a ponytail when she's outside. Her eyes are pale, a hint of yellow in them barely visible. She doesn't consider herself to be anything special, though she isn't a bad looking Miqo'te. Scars litter her body, most barely visible, while there are others blatantly obvious that she has hidden from view, save for a few lashes across her back.

Her body is petite in build, not unlike most female Miqo'tes. Her features are quite similar to the average, nothing special about her aside from the scar littered body...though if approached and hit on by people, she will most likely scoff and turn away before they can even finish. She's a bit short, but she doesn't seem to care about her height, deciding that it could easily mislead people into overestimating her capabilities and make her career that much easier as a result.

◢ Memorable Features

Scars

The scars on her features are easily the most memorable part of Kyverra. If you were to run your hand across her entire body, it'd be unlikely that you'd find a place that feels genuinely smooth. Her chest and back seem to have suffered the most, however; deep lacerations that still are quite visible litter these two parts of her body. She doesn't like wearing shirts that expose too much of her torso as a result, and tries to hide them as much as she can. Swimming is out of the question.

"Dead" Gaze

Her eyes are not eerily yellow, with a piercing gaze...rather, they look almost dead due to how diluted they are. Her gaze can look pretty dead as a result, unless you pique her interest. Then her eyes will lose their dead look and she'll tend to look more lively as a result. She tries to stay neutral about most things, well aware that her gaze is not one that is all that appealing to most people.

Strengths & Skills

◢ Spear Combat

More known as a Dragoon in her line of work, Kyverra thoroughly enjoys using spears when in combat. They seem safer to her than using pugilist weapons, and much less cowardly than being an archer. She owns a rather impressive collection, and is always eager to expand it, though she only uses a select few at this point in time. She can still use swords, daggers, and other melee weapons, but she definitely prefers a spear of some kind.

◢ Magic

Something she's less likely to use, she's still very skilled in the art of magic. She's studied both healing and the art of a Black Mage, intending to know as much as she can so that she's useful in more than one sense. Her healing capabilities aren't half bad, but she won't use them without a good reason to, seeing no reason to reveal that she can save a life as well as end it. Her magic is not nearly to the extent of someone who has studied it for years, but she can put up a fight using it if she absolutely has to.

◢ Torture

Naturally speaking. Her past gave her a cold outlook on how to deal with particular targets that disgust her, such as rapists. She tortures as a result, keeping them on the brink of death until they finally die by her hands. She doesn't take it lightly when she finds out she's dealing with these kinds of targets, and her methods of dealing with them show it. She has a disturbing amount of notes about new methods. Most of her contracts are unaware of this side of her; she doesn't like to admit how bitter she is.

Weaknesses & Faults

◢ Confrontation

Preferring to avoid people altogether, confrontation is something she despises. Approaching her makes her wary; throwing accusations around will make her flee. She's a coward at heart when it comes to accusations. If she does something that is upsetting, it is advised to tread lightly in approaching her, or else she may easily panic and try to run off before much else is said.

◢ Being Friendly

A sheltered and hurt Miqo'te, being friendly certainly isn't her strong suit. It takes effort to get her to open up, which is why Varicar being around makes it much easier to approach her. She will often avoid a social event outside of being on the outskirts to eavesdrop just to avoid having to socialize. This does, however, have a potential to change as she slowly adjusts to having a normal life.

◢ Hand to Hand Combat

Something Kyverra has never wanted to learn, oddly enough. She can fight if it's a life or death situation, but she is by no means good at defending herself without a weapon of some kind. She knows how to kill with her bare hands, and the weak points of a typical body, just strongly prefers to avoid it. She taught herself magic just to have another way to try and survive, mainly due to the fear of being caught without a weapon and dying as a result.

Relationships

♥ Lover ♥ Platonic Love ♥ Ex Lover ● Close Friend ● Friend ● Neutral ● Enemy ✕ Deceased

◢ Tribe

♥✕ Xau Moui

Kyverra's little sister. She loved her with her entire heart, and regrets never being able to save her from the hostility they went through. It's rare for her to go a day without her sister at least crossing her mind once, the pain of leaving her something that never truly leaves her mind. Having Varicar around has helped her depression some, but Xau still crosses her mind.

♥✕ Zana Moui

Her mother. Kyverra always looked up to Zana, knowing that her mother was a strong person who wouldn't back down through the worst. She protected her children with her life; something she eventually paid for. Kyverra was unfortunate enough to watch her mother eventually fall to the terrible hands of her tribe's males...she can never forgive them for killing the person she looked up to for all of her life.

● Zana'to Moui

One of her brothers. She doesn't like to acknowledge their existence, much less talk about them. She calls her brothers "sheep", often referring to how they blindly followed in the footsteps of the rest of the males. She holds no respect for them; she doesn't know if they're alive or not, but she has no intention of finding out.

● Zana'a Moui

Her older brother. She originally looked up to him, and is especially hurt that he fell into the same brainless act that the rest of the younger males did. She despises that she couldn't help save them; it depresses her that she let them turn into the sheep that they were. She does question how they function in society, if at all.

●✕ Xau'zi Moui

By far the most disgusting being to Kyverra. Her father, coming from a large family, was a bitter person due to lack of attention. She's not even sure if he loved her mother. However, the twisted part of him was the name he convinced Zana to give Xau. He abused Xau nearly exclusively, taking out his frustrations about his mother on the young Miqo'te. Kyverra eventually came back to kill Xau'zi in particular, but she refuses to talk about it. His blood on her hands still is a sickening thought.

◢ Family

♥ Varicar Rhylas

Someone about as dumb as she is sometimes. The two met through coincidence; both signed up to test a potion that made the two have a physical bond, causing them anxiety if they went too long without it. While Kyverra is unsure of how long the potion will last, she's quite thankful that it bonded her with such an intriguing person. She opened up to him rather quickly, and while the two have had some rocky discussions already, she doesn't regret it. Everything about his views just proves to make her even more excited to talk to him. She's grown used to his presence and cares for the Miqo'te greatly, something relatively surprising, due to her dislike of male Keepers.

♥ Avalon

A lovable baby dragon Kyverra found while travelling in Coerthas. Against her better judgement, she took the dragon in. She cares for him, trying very hard not to think about where she'll hide a full grown dragon in the years to come. For now, she tries to take care of him to her best capabilities. Hunting for him has proven a bit difficult due to a pretty large appetite, but she's managed so far. She keeps him hidden at all costs, fearing the consequences of having the dragon around, but refusing to just let him die.

Try As She Might, People Still Talk

◢ Common Whispers

"She doesn't have friends. I'd feel bad for the lass if she wasn't so cold."

◢ Rare Whispers

"I think she's dating someone...even more odd that's it's a Keeper."

"The girl hardly seems to be there most of the time."

◢ Unheard Whispers

"Shayde isn't her last name."

"I see a hooded figure around occasionally that enters houses...and doesn't come out for hours."

"Her tribe is dead, but rumor has it that she helped kill off a fair amount of the males. She talks about her past so much that I wouldn't be surprised."

Creator's Notes

Kyverra's real name is Khloe Moui. She changed her name to forget her past and hide it.

As a result of her past, Kyverra is...

• Harsh

• Distant

• Lonely

Keep this in mind when interacting with her. It's encouraged to approach her if Varicar is around or if you have a job to give her. It's much more likely for her to interact and be genuine in either of these cases. If she's seen in the Quicksand and has had a few drinks, she also might be more willing to talk then.
