Character Basics
T'shina Vashka (pronounced Tuh-shee-nah Vah-shh-kah) was born to the Condor (T) Tribe, sired by one of the three Nunhs, T'vashka Nunh, and the Seamstress T'morah Grosta originally of the Eft (E) tribe. No longer associated with the Condor Tribe other than blood relation, T'shina has created the Aurora Tribe, a mixed tribe of Keepers and Seekers who value the traditional values that Tribes give the Miqo'te and a way to merge this with city life to modernize.
Appearance
Height: ** fulms and ** ilms || Weight: Average || Age: Twenty Years
By appearance, T'shina is easy to look over. Nothing about her screams that she is remarkable but quite average in a lot of things. Her appearance often not as well kept as most Miqo'te that can be found in the city. The young woman is a little shorter than average, often causing for her to be teased for her height and has caused a bit of a complex. Her stature can often be that of bent or slouched when she doesn't think eyes are on her but when she is conversing with someone she will straighten up and become more prominent in her stature. Her own dominance coming into play. Her skin is often pale but the longer she has been in the exposure of the desert sun the darker it has gotten to adjust to the climate. Along her cheekbones she has freckles that come out more the more she is exposed to the sun and along her shoulders, collarbone and hipbones there are a noticeable amount of the little peppered dots that give her skin a little more character. Along her cheeks there are a pair of stripes that nearly blend with her skin tone, natural from her heritage on her mother's side, the stripes also being found along her hips, two over the hip bones and barely noticed with the blending of tone. Her ears and tail are often quite expressive, particularly her ears as they are often in motion. Her tail can often be seen in a relaxed state unless annoyed or if she is seeking her own comforts.
Her face can be seen as round in appearance making her seem quite youthful and making her pouts seem even that more childish when she huffs and puffs. Her lips plush and full with a natural dark tone to them that accentuate each expression a little more because of their prominence in her features. Behind these full lips would be a set of fangs known to Miqo'te but due to her Seeker heritage they are not as pronounced as that of her moon walking cousins. Her eyes are large and almond shaped, with large irises and the signature slitted pupil that is the trademark of the Seeker clan. The color a dark, deep royal blue making it difficult to see the pupil that has caused her to be mistaken for a Keeper on more than one occassion. These eyes often hidden behind her bangs slightly but ever watching the things around her and doing her best to catch the little details so that she doesn't miss a thing. Along her nose there is a noticeable scar. Her eyebrows are thin and often furrowed due to her need to analyze everything around her, though often they are hidden behind her thick bangs. Her hair is cut short in the back to keep of her neck so she doesn't get too hot and long in the front and gathered up in hair clips so that it is easier to manage. Keeping the length makes her feel more effeminate. The color a deep coal and scattered through out being the natural white hairs that often is tipped.
With clothing, the girl doesn't often wear anything that could be considered nice. The nicest thing she owns would be the hempen tunic that she was mistaken for a dress but she wears anyway. Most of her clothing is worn out and some of it looks as if it has been patched up before. The color often prominent in her palette of colors being a dark red as it is her favorite. Most of her clothing does not fit properly and is often seen as too big, due to when she lived with the Condor tribe most of her clothing was loose and flowing as it were and only covered what was necessary when it came to weather. Her boots are well taken care of as she believes that a good pair of boots is all you need when you are traveling. Often she carries a knife but she always carries her shortbow with her, not feeling comfortable without a weapon of sorts. If she is ever without a weapon it is best to be assumed that she is paranoid and looking for one in nearby items.

- Her left shoulder has a puncture scar.
Personality

When first meeting her she can be seen as cold and stand offish. This is something that she has developed since she was young to protect herself emotionally after being emotionally abused in her youth. This often results in her coming off as closed off with how she stands and the way she looks at others. By watching them, studying them, and trying to predict their next action by her observations. All of this stemming from her distrust for others and how hard it is for her to do so.
Becoming on friendly terms however is not difficult and she will open up and speak quite willfully. She enjoys conversation and can usually talk about any given thing whether it turn into a debate or just continuous agreement. Her morals and all that she is often laid out before others easily when you do get her talking. However, just because she will talk does not mean she will give out all her secrets or the secrets of her friends. She is quite careful about important information and feels that most information about herself cannot be used against her. When you do get her to talk about more personal things she is starting to gain a small amount of trust for you and has then started to call you a friend but do keep in mind, that does not mean she trusts you. Not at all.
Trust is something that she doesn't give very willingly and only a few people have it. These people able to be counted on one hand though she does want to be able to rely on others and others on her. This is causing a distress in the girl as she does want to trust others but her own paranoia and the people who have hurt her in the past get the better of her and she can easily find reasons to not trust someone. There are stages to knowing when you have gained any form of trust though.
The first step you will notice, should you be paying attention, is a thing she has about people touching her. Often if you are a stranger or someone that she has not had any interaction with, she does not like being touched. When you have become acquainted enough then things will become more just a shoulder bump, hip bump, shaking hands or a tentative hug. More trust will gain her touching you with her tail and maybe, just maybe, her letting you touch her ears. Though the ears are a thing that bothers her because she doesn't understand the fascination with them. When she has completely given her trust she actually will be a very touchy person. She likes to feel the contact of being around others and knowing that someone is there to watch out for her just as she is there to watch out for them.
On top of gaining her trust and allowing her to open up that stand offish shell seems to melt right off. She does her best to seem mature and level headed and in most cases she is. She's very passionate about many things and stubborn in her beliefs and feelings. But she will get excited fairly easily and not be afraid to show her little panics and insecurities (which there are many of). These small behaviors have gotten her called cute (which she will profusely deny that this exists). But overall she seems to be a more empathetic person once she has opened up.
Medical Conditions
- Had a previous brain tumor that affected her sight as well as mobility. Would have killed her around the age of 16 however it was able to removed when met with an Ul'dahn merchant who had connections to save her. She has now lived past the expectancy that the Seers of the Condor Tribe had expected of her. It was removed around the age of 6 or 7.
- Has a heightened sense of smell due to the distorted eyesight as a child, body making up for the downfall. It is now something that makes it difficult for her to be in certain situations. (Cannot be around a Malboro. Period.)
- Is prone to frequent headaches, particularly when under stress or under heightened negative emotions. It is told to her it is due to the surgery that she had undergone.
- Plot Point! The Shadows and Aetheric Pool: A pool of aether sits where the surgical point and scar is when she had the surgery to remove her tumor. This pool of aether feeds off of her negative energies, fueling shadow like aether manifestations. These shadows are never seen but can be heard when she is in complete distress or panic. They have been known to go after those that have tried to remove the aetheric pool during the process but have yet to cause damage to others. These shadows also feed into her insecurities and doubts and should the doubts become too strong she has gone into a deep sleep and when no one is around the shadows have pulled at her harmed her to further give her fears to feed themselves. Those who can see aether will notice the concentration of aether but the shadows are rarely around when she is around other people. Should she be caught and the Shadows believe she is alone, the shadows can be seen in a similar aether reading as Void magic but not completely so. Their appearance are that of shadow like ghosts with long fingers with sharpened ends. Their eyes are holes that go all the way through and their mouth is often is seen as if it sucking the air around them to pull in the negativity. As of now, no actual 'cure' has been found.
