Character

Shadiyah is a strange Keeper woman of many faces, sometimes literally. It's difficult to tell which, if any, is the real one.

Name

Given Name: Shadiyah Keket Amari

Nicknames and Aliases: Shade

Appearance

Shade stands at 5'5", notably tall for a Miqo'te woman, with a figure that's slender but not lacking in curves with a narrow waist and large breasts. Her face is a bit slender for that of a Miqo'te with high cheekbones, two white stripes on each cheek. Her skin is a pale brown, mocha-colored and free of any blemishes, and her eyes--large and round due to her Keeper heritage--are sapphire blue, but tend to fluctuate between that and black. They're lined with thick black eyeliner, dark blue eyeshadow, and long eyelashes. A single black mole can be found below the outer corner of her left eye, a beauty mark. Her lips are full and plump, painted a wine red to match her long nails, and constantly set into a frown, masking her sharp canines. Her eyebrows are thin, neatly shaped and angled, half-hidden behind her straight-cut bangs. Her nose is small but aquiline, the faintest of bumps along its bridge. Her hair is chopped into a short, angled bob, shorter in the back and longer in the front to frame her pointed chin. The locks and her fur are a shiny, inky black, fading into midnight blue highlights at the ends. Her tail is long and slender, narrowing at the tip with short fur. Each ear is pierced several times, adorned with golden earrings. She seems to have a preference for gold jewelry, dark colors, and revealing outfits. What her outfits lack in cloth and coverage, they make up for in jewelry and flare, a light jingling sound usually accompanying her motions from all the metal clinking together. She wears a black leather choker at all times, curiously adorned with an ornate red heart, outlined in gold with a small diamond set in the middle. Her movements are graceful and oftentimes suggestive, obviously well-practiced and bordering on unnatural. Something about her visage has an almost hypnotic quality. The scent of a strong perfume of jasmine and spices surrounds her.

When "in disguise" in public, she typically opts to take the appearance of a servant with a black maid uniform and a pair of thick, round glasses, absent of some of her usual jewelry but still always sporting that heart-shaped locket. In her true, Voidsent glory, black horns like a rams curl out from behind her temples around her ears. Two black, leathery, bat-like wings sprout from her shoulder blades; too small to grant her flight, but enough to help her glide. Her once well-manicured fingernails overgrow into the form of long, sharp, ebony talons.

Speech

She tends to speak in somewhat of a purr, the words leaving her lips in a sultry drawl. Each word is carefully pronounced--one can assume she comes from a noble and well-educated background. Her R's are rolled rarely in the common Miqo'te fashion and when angered, certain syllables come out in a hiss. Most notably, she does not use contractions when she speaks. Her voice is low and quiet, velvety, making the most basic conversation sound like sweet nothings.

Behavior

TBA

Motivations: Shade's primary motivation is to please her Master, even when it sometimes comes to doing or permitting things with which she has some moral qualms. Aside from that, she strives to find peace and contentment for herself, though she typically goes about it in all the wrong ways. Often, she tries to feel better about herself by putting others in a worse position or mood than her own.

Disposition: Unpleasant, unfriendly, unhinged. Shade is typically stand-offish around others, but perhaps out of loneliness she sometimes seeks the company of other people regardless. She is usually very gloomy and often rude.

Outlook: Negative. Shade is a pessimist. She claims to hate everyone, and she doesn't exclude herself from that.

Positive Personality Traits

Loyal and protective of her Master, intelligent, and witty, persuasive and seductive. She has a certain soft spot for children, animals, and anyone/anything else truly innocent. There are few redeeming qualities to be noted. She has her moments of kindness and compassion, as well moments of charm and eloquence, but they are not a regular part of her personality.

Negative Personality Traits

Obsessive, unstable, cruel, self-destructive, rash, sulky, unfriendly, skittish, fickle, petty, vengeful, jealous, spiteful, sullen, and driven by emotion.

Combat

Surprisingly enough for one so antagonistic, Shade rarely fights, even though though her relation to the Void grants her extra resilience as well as the ability to sprout wings, horns, and talons or to alter her physical form in other ways. Sometimes even when attacked, she will remain passive and let the attacker do as they may. She usually lets Melfice fight his own battles, as well as hers, but she will step in if needed to assist or protect him. In fits of rage, she will sometimes lash out with her claws, but in an actual fight, she wields strange abilities from the Void, usually charms and manipulation spells, or harnessing the power of shadows. While she's no physical fighter, she does possess impressive strength, agility, and grace.

Relationships

Family

Shade grew up with her parents and a few siblings. In the past, she's been married and had a few children, but all known relatives are deceased.

Enemies

Shade doesn't particularly consider anyone an enemy--some people she just dislikes more than others. Others, however, may more readily count her as an enemy.

Player Character Standing

♥ Romantic Interest    ♥ Sexual Desire    ♥ Platonic Love     ● Good Standing    ● Neutral Standing    ● Poor Standing

♥♥ Melfice Vainchelon - Her "Master," as she calls him (he usually insists he dislikes the title--she claims quite the opposite), and also her lover and betrothed of sorts. The two met during a summoning ritual that didn't seem to go as planned. Though the two began on far from friendly terms, they now possess a fierce loyalty to each other. The Miqo'te often plays the role of the man's assistant in public, and things aren't altogether very different in private. Her submission to the man, however, seems to be entirely willing, and she could easily reverse the roles should she see fit. The story in public disguise is that her family has served the Vainchelon family for generations, and as such she is loyally his maidservant.

● ♥ Val Nunh - The two started off on the wrong foot. The Seeker of the Sun reminded Shade of her ex-lover which provoked an immediate, simultaneous dislike and attraction for the man, and Shade very quickly gave Val good reason to make the resentment (and perhaps the attraction) mutual. Since then, however, Shade has found she has much in the common with the man, and seeing as he is one of the few beings who can often tolerate her, she's developed a certain fondness for the Nunh.

● Faye Covington - Shade isn't sure how to feel about the Midlander woman. The two haven't had many face-to-face interactions--at least not that involved much talking--and she assumes the Hyur would like to keep it that way. While Shade dislikes pretty much everyone out of principle and has a personal disdain for the woman due to the blows Faye and Harbingers have landed against her and Melfice, as well as due to the attention that Melfice and Val pay her, perhaps someone who both the men find some worth in can't be all bad.

● X'unmei Noh - A Seeker girl Melfice rescued and claims to view as a daughter. Though her interaction with the little redhead have been limited, Shade believes she is relatively harmless and a tolerable person. However, due to the fact that the girl has stolen some of her Master's attention and affection, Shade is bent on not liking her.
