Character Name: Sena Varont

Nicknames, if any: none

Race & Subgroup: Miqo'te Seeker of the Sun

Gender ID: Female (cis)

Orientation: Pansexual

Height: 5'6"

Weight: Around 170-180 ponze, mostly muscle weight

Hair: Jet black, shoulder blade length

Eyes: Pale green, an unusual color

Skin: Latte-colored? Light brown?

Age: 26 (human approximate)

Nameday: 32nd Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon (Oct. 31)

Residence: Serene Haven Inn - Lavender Beds, Ward 12, Plot 41

Fashion Style: Gothic. Sena tends to wear black clothing, occasionally accented by small amounts of white if it results in a pattern, such as her black and white striped stockings that she often wears. Her clothing is generally feminine, usually practical with very little flair.

Other Appearance Details: Her eyes are ordinarily ringed by black eyeliner, which accents and emphasizes the unusual pale green color of her eyes, lending them an intense and nearly creepy appearance. Sena's face is often expressionless, seeming almost as if she's bored, moody, or perhaps irritated, and the dull, flat tone commonly carried by her squeaky voice doesn't help that impression. It's a good thing she doesn't play poker... or does she?

[edit] Psyche Attire & Equipment Varont Tribe Other Contacts History Gallery Morality / Alignment: Neutral Evil Astrological Sign: Scorpio Guardian Deity: Doesn't care. Attitude: Generally, Sena's demeanor is even-tempered, though she is a fiercely independent and headstrong type who can quickly become disagreeable towards others who treat her poorly - but even when cross, she tends to seem almost disinterested, given her subdued expressiveness. Inwardly, she is a very passionate woman whose pursuits are ambitious, and has little use for those she considers weak, useless, or incompetent, nor does she care if they become aware that she has judged them thus. As she would say, if they don't like that opinion, they can change so her opinion changes. Positive Traits: In addition to her tendency to be passionate (though externally conservative about showing it) about things that matter to her, Sena is very resourceful and cunning, with sharp and observant senses and a dynamic presence that seems, in spite of her lack of charisma, to draw others in. Those whom Sena chooses worthy will find her to be a loyal and protective friend. Negative Traits: Her unyielding, no-negotiations nature can make her a challenge to deal with. In some respects, her observant nature can also be a negative quality, for she can seem suspicious of others, and her cunning combined with that can make her come across as manipulative (which she sometimes legitimately is). Towards those she chooses as her wards, or in whom she cares about, she can be obsessive and jealous, for they belong to her, as does anything she sees that she decides she wants. Quirks: Aside from what has already been mentioned and may be considered quirky by some, Sena has various minor methods of expressing her dominance over others. Keep an eye out for them, they can be amusing! Favored Traits in Others: Honesty, loyalty, and devotion towards Sena. She favors those who are obedient and eager-to-please without being pushovers or submissive due to personal ineptitude (since these people are weak). Rather, those whom she would consider to be close to her must themselves be strong and capable of self-determination and leadership of others, yet still recognize her as superior. Disfavored Traits in Others: Although other races may have personalities, individual to individual, that Sena may find intriguing, she is less drawn to their physiques than she is to that of her own kind (though would not necessarily reject them on that basis alone). Waffling types can be irritating to Sena, who herself is very decisive. She also finds frustration in those who arbitrarily act out in defiance for the sake of trying to be 'forced' to submit to others, for this feels pointless to Sena - either a person wants to be a leader or they want to be a follower, requiring force is a waste of time. In-Character Job: Leader of the Wardens of the Haven organization, owner of Serene Haven Inn and Farfanier's Freight, and the matriarch of the Varont Tribe of miqo'te. Her personal work in her past was primarily sellsword, bounty hunting, and bodyguarding, and she still takes contracts from time to time. Professional Skills: Fighting. Lots and lots of fighting. Sena is also skilled at tracking, wilderness survival, climbing, swimming, and humanoid anatomy. Amateur Skills / Hobbies: She's skilled enough at leatherwork and blacksmithing to maintain her own equipment, knows enough first aid to get by in the field, and is fairly talented at falling asleep where ever she darned well chooses (comfort be damned). Sena has dabbled in various hobbies over the years, but nothing stuck. Goals / Wants: To crush her enemies, to see them driven before her, and to hear the lamentations of their women. That aside, she's also a fan of skillfully cooked meats and hearty foods such as popotos, favors drinking brandy, and lounging about when she isn't fighting. Dislikes / Avoids: Excessive sweet foods (small and occasional amounts are okay), obviously attention-seeking clothing or mannerisms from others, liars, weaklings, cowards, and gender or sexuality driven insults. (WIP) ♥ Relationship Commitment --♥ Attraction --● Relative --● Friendly --● Indifferent --● Rivalry -- ☠ Missing/Dead Kin Sena ♥ Celia Varont ("Tall"): In spite of her general confidence, Celia is seen by Sena as vulnerable and inspires Sena to want to protect her. Though she'd originally begun her family with another and Celia was added later, it was Celia's profession of love to them which coaxed Sena into a lengthy contemplation of her own feelings. She had never loved anyone before, but Celia's tenderness helped Sena to emerge from her shell and recognize how she felt for her. They've been together for quite awhile now, and contentedly so. "Didn't reckon we'd end up like this when we met... I owe 'er a lot." Kin Rivah ● Rivah Varont: An unusual girl from mysterious origins, Sena finds Rivah fascinating, though not in the way of attraction. She seems to have odd talents and wisdom, in a shamanistic sense, and Sena is pleased that she wished to join her tribe. "Sometimes I reckon she's got a nest'a sparrows in her head, tweetin' and chirpin', but if that's so then they're real nice sparrows and are doin' well by me and mine." ● Bahk Varont: Sena's older brother. Although he had initially scorned the idea of settling into a home after their many years of travel, and had protested Sena beginning to form a tribe, Bahk has since changed his mind. Sena considers him her most reliable and trusted ally, and is protective of him and the choices he makes for his life. "I'm real proud'a him for givin' this new life a chance. He's seemed ta be happy, once he decided to." Roamers (not in any kin) ● Taj Varont: Clanking away, Grahn's younger sister can be found working on some smithing project or another, ready with a modest smile for her friends. She doesn't approve of her brother's wandering and wishes he'd make a home for himself. "I didn't know her well til she came to join my tribe, but she seemed real happy for the opportunity, and she's settled in with us about as perfect as anybody." ● Lilah Varont: In spite of her past, Sena accepted Lilah into her tribe along with her daughter Talia. She'd once been the companion of a rival of Sena's who has, since, mysteriously disappeared. Did Sena have something to do with that? Probably. "It's a bit challenging findin' just what her place is gonna be around my company, but as far as the tribe goes she's shown good skill with Talia, and I bet she'd make a fine teacher for the young of our tribe... once we've got some more." ● Talia Varont: Lilah's little girl. Biologically mute, though she has a small magitek device she can use to create an artificial voice. "I don't spend much time with her, but she behaves and keeps outta trouble, so she's just fine by me." ● L'koliwe Odh (Koli): One of the first to have joined Sena's tribe, and originally the matron of a kin which included Sena's brother Bahk. Midway through her pregnancy, she began having strange dreams, and disbanded her kin to migrate, for an unspecified time, to the Thaumaturgy guild in Ul'dah in order to learn of the things she'd dreamed about and come to an understanding of them. "Used'ta have more respect for her... I considered her a sister, but she got real distant a few weeks after gettin' pregnant, and I hardly saw her from then until she left." On Trial (have asked to join the tribe but not yet been accepted) ♥ Alexia Peregris ("Popoto"): A visitor to Serene Haven Inn who stuck around and quickly befriended those in the Varont tribe. She's often seen in Sena's shadow, swiftly rising to one of her more trusted allies. Her nickname comes from Sena's occasional amusement at carrying Alexia over her shoulder like a popoto sack. "Yep. Saw it comin'. Fell right for her, that's what I did. Hope it'll be like Celia has been, and I won't be hurt for it..." ♥ Gustas Greycliff (Gus, "Ears"): One of Sel and Callie's oldest friends, a warrior miqo'te who was adopted by a hyur family at a very young age. Unofficially in charge of the Serene Haven Watch and a loyal guardian of the inn. Usually found nearby Sena or Celia during his free time. "Tough and strong but a real sweetheart. Real different from dealin' with somebody cocky like Ra. He's modest, and more capable than he realizes. I can tell, though." ● Sarah Archer: A new friend of Rivah and Bahk whom they met during the inn's singles night during August. Sena hasn't had much exposure to her personally yet. "A bit shy, but nice enough. She's seemed nervous around me. Smart of her." ♥ Relationship Commitment --♥ Attraction --● Relative --● Friendly --● Indifferent --● Rivalry -- ☠ Missing/Dead ● Aiden Blood: Celia's adoptive sister, therefore related to Sena due to their relationship. Sena has met her only briefly, though she had attended Aiden's wedding as Ra's date. "She's a pretty busy one, and real independent. I don't know her that well, but I like her just the same." ● Selarian Cloverbloom (Sel): Talented in conjuration as well as non-magical medicine, Sel has his own clinic which Sena considers to be operating beneath the umbrella of the Wardens of the Haven. "He's got the bedside manner of a bedside table that's got protruding feet you're likely ta stub a toe on, but he's otherwise friendly enough and the best doctor I know. Helped Celia with a serious problem once, so he's got my loyalty." ● Arietty Moonfall (Ari): A skilled scholar and teacher. Sena is protective over the little blind raen, and routinely attempts to look after her safety in spite of Ari's frequent moments in which she seems intent on putting herself at risk. "I can see why folks're drawn to her. She sometimes acts real young, though, and other times like an elder. It's like she can't decide if she's naive or wise..." ● Kaori Rime: An engineer who works for Farfanier's Freight, one of the companies Sena owns. "I like her just fine. She might join my tribe one day, along with the fella she's in a relationship with. Can't say I'd mind that a bit, they both seem like good folk." ● Pinny Aerani: The most shy of conjurers, apparently, but good at her trade and has a thirst for adventure. "She's about as stoic as I am, heh. I dunno if she likes me or merely tolerates me, but I think she's a good sort." ● Jasmine Palladino: Possibly as stout a warrior as Sena herself, or maybe moreso - the two have never tested, nor do they feel the need to. It's better to just agree they're both awesome warriors! She has an odd manner of speaking, but generally communicates well in spite of it. "She needs a male t'join her little tribe and help her raise her sisters and cousins. I should look for one for her..." ● Li'naidjaa Thish (Nai): An expert when it comes to machinery of all sorts, and a level-headed leader with an inquisitive manner. "I wish she and Roku had joined my tribe instead'a the one they did... I don't feel like we see 'em around Serene Haven as much as I wish we did." ● Roku Lyehga: Tough and sassy, but a kind person who looks after her friends. Works for the Serene Haven Watch. "I haven't gotten ta know her well, and she seems t'spend most of her time with just Nai. I'll probly get t'know her better if I take on some more mercenary work." ● Kihi'an Bahjiri (Kihi): One of the smarter and more learned individuals residing at Serene Haven, and an old friend of Ari. Works for Serene Haven Inn as an administrator and bookkeeper. "He's a pretty cute male, though not real assertive... and very shy, I guess? I don't see much of him, I suppose he's off readin' in his room or the library." ● R'tehz Tia: A strange man who is part chef, part knight - a combination which baffles Sena, but is oddly amusing. "One'a the more eccentric people I know, though I don't think he means t'be. Sometimes he annoys me, but his weirdness can be funny. Heh." ● Calliope Cloverbloom (Callie): Who knows what exactly the diminutive younger sister of Sel does with her time, but she's sociable and seems kind, and claims she spends her days doing good for others. "I'm pretty sure she's actually made outta wind and shadows. Y'see her around a little while, and then you don't anymore." ● Cassandra Solidor (Cass): A mercenary who met and bonded with Sena over their mutual work. Although Cass can be elusive and irregular in her appearances, Sena considers her to be a valued associate. "She's about as guarded as I am most'a the time, so I dunno what's inside her, but what little she shows is pretty alright." ● Micah Hayle: An old friend of Ari's who works for the Serene Haven Watch. "Gruff, but a sturdy fighter. Keeps to himself, mostly, with his girlfriend." ● Caitlin Bell: Micah's girlfriend who works for Serene Haven Inn as a maid. "Eh... we ain't real familiar, but the rooms are clean, so I respect her hard work." ● Amaryllis Palladino: Jasmine's younger sister, feisty and testing her boundaries. "She's been real busy learnin' and studyin' lately. Wonder if she'll be a warrior like Jasmine, or go off ta learn magic or something." ● X'elos Nunh: Kaori's boyfriend, though otherwise unknown to Sena. "He seems alright. Real attentive to Kaori, doesn't boss her around or whatever. Good qualities in a male." ● Tsuru Wakashibana: Arietty's retainer, from Doma. She speaks only Doman, and has thus never held an actual conversation with Sena. "Guess I can't say much about her, other than that she stays outta trouble and I respect her attention to duty to Ari." ● Yvenalise Tachibana: The owner of a trading company located not far from Serene Haven Inn. "Met her recently, she seems alright. Probly get ta know her better through business and such." ● Sen Meiken: The owner of a manufacturing company located not far from Serene Haven Inn. "She's friends with Yvenalise, I met 'em both at the same time. Kinda cute, for an au'ra. Heh. Her folks're gonna build the cell for the Watch Office." ● Y'esthine Dhan (Essy): A young miqo'te who traveled from Ishgard to see where Gustas was going when he left the area. When she heard Serene Haven Inn, his destination, was building a bath house, she invested her traveling funds to become its partial owner and manager. "She's real shy and sweet, just seems to wanna make people happy." (More to come!) (to be written soon!) (WIP)
