Appearance & Personality

V'ieh stands approximately five feet and one inch tall, with a slim but muscular build, with tanned, clear skin and hair a few shades darker than her skin tone. Her hair itself is usually in a messy braid, or rested along her shoulders with sandy blonde ends to the long strands. Her eyes are a muted amber, nothing out of the ordinary or stand-out-ish for her race and clan. Her lips are usually curled into a sly smirk or sweet smile, dependent on the situation. Her facial markings aren't extreme, but three stripes rest on her cheeks and her forehead, a quiet colour matching to her tanned flesh.

Her ears are pointed and usually relaxed closer into her skull, and her tail is usually slack, letting gravity control it's resting, save for a few flicks every now and then in specific situations. Her nails are usually painted nicely with nail lacquer, usually pastel colours, and are usually pointed in cat-claw like shape. Publicly she's usually seen in simple common or casual clothing and she doesn't spend a whole lot of time on her appearance, and sometimes can look rather messy after being in Gridania's garden. If you see her in her armor, you're likely in for a bad time.

Though she looks rather sweet and innocent, she packs a bit of a punch when you get to know her. Upon first meeting she might seem docile and timid, not in her proper environment, unless someone she trusts is with her. It's difficult for her to crawl out of her shell but she will if given the right advances. She practices a lot of meditation and zen practices, believing entirely in the peace of mind and body to be able to perform to the best of her ability, and is usually very calm and relaxed outwardly unless in a tense situation. She can be a bit jumpy with loud noises, and it can set off a few uncomfortable emotions for her. She's usually a jokester with people she knows well, and can have quite a raunchy sense of humour. Her vocabulary is extensive, but she adopts a casual vernacular when she feels comfortable and at peace to look more like a commoner.

Biography

Childhood

V'iehessi's upbringing was typical to a little girl who resided in a Seeker Clan, taught to be more submissive in nature to the patriarchal society she was raised in. However, she tended to be more of a clan troublemaker, not adhering to normal Seeker of the Sun Tribe rules. Her tribe resided in the quenching heated desert in Southern Thanalan; a sub-sect of the Vulture tribe, lead under an egotistical Nuhn with many women under his harem. At the time the tribe itself was rather corrupt, relatives of the Nuhn living rather lavish, many of his sons born into subsequent power, and though V'iehessi couldn't speak out about it, she did her best to remember she was her own person.

V'iehessi took a strong liking to plant life and the flora of the dried sandy hills of Thanalan, enjoying nurturing the flowers that bloomed on cacti, learning how to sap water from the prickly roots while she was young and extremely adventurous of her own home region. She took care of a small patch of spring flowers next to a hot spring on the coast of the Thanalan desert.

Teenage

This section of text contains common triggers that may upset people with weak stomachs, or victims of abuse. The writer doesn't condone or promote any of the following, and reader discretion is strongly advised. Thank you!

At the age of 18 the women in her clan were branded with a scalding cast iron "V" on the back of their necks to symbolize that they were a property of the subordinate clan of V, a sub-sect outside of the larger "Vah" or "Vulture" clan. After branding they either pursued a trade craft skill such as textiles or culinary arts to feed their young, Nunh, and Tia men, or, they were women set for breeding with the clan Nunh and the Nunh's hierarchy of valued sons. V'ieh possessed no refined skills, having rebelled against her culture from the get-go. Being prime mating age for V'alag Nunh and his two prized sons, she knew what her fate would be, nothing more than a breeding dump to raise countless children. Her mother had pleaded with her to not leave, telling her the consequences would be severe, but V'ieh had no interest in being a mindless hive-mentality breeding ground.

She left during the night, and hid her face with a silk scarf, but by the sun rise, Tia's were out looking for their missing property. V'ieh was captured. She was knocked out and was brought to a damp, abandoned mining cave. The operation set up there was not only for her, but she knew it was for others before her with her mentality. V'ieh spent a week in starvation, dehydration, hair burning and pulling, cuts between the webs of her toes and fingers that weren't allowed to heal, ripping up the nail bed under her nails, strangulation, and more torture of the like. They had planned in front of her to sexually assault her, and though she was living bare bones, her adrenaline kicked into overdrive to get her out of a situation she wanted to run away from from the beginning. Her wrists were thin enough to escape from the bindings she was in, and she broke a glass wine bottle from the side of her wooden frame she rested on. She has no recollection of the events that occurred, but the Tia men were over-killed, being mutilated and sliced open all over to bleed out. This begins the moment of bloodlust V'ieh feels whenever she is threatened, pushed into a corner, or emotionally compromised.

She escaped holding a string of her life left, a large glass shard tearing into the flesh in her hand as a means to protect herself. She ran free covered in blood, and under a few hours, met Ferathir Dawnbreaker, who emerged from another copper mine nearby. He stopped and tried to lend aid to V'ieh but she automatically thought of him as a foe, as he wielded a sword and a shield and her primal bloodlust prompted her to believe he was a threat. She tried to raise up her glass shard to attack him, but she was slowly coming down from the bloodlust, and was too weak to even hold herself upright. He brought her to a nearby trade village, cleaning her up, tending to wounds and buying her food and water. She slept for what could have felt like an eternity but when she woke, she was groggy and didn't have much recollection of what was going on. They spent the next week together, talking and sharing their woes with one another, and by the end of it all, they both realized they felt they had nothing. They pledged an Oath to each other that day, that they would protect each other under any means necessary. Thus, beginning the Oathsworn Vigil.

RELATIONS ♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Platonic Love ● Good Standing ● Poor Standing ♥ Ferathir Dawnbreaker : After finding her in the deserts of Thanalan, beaten and abused, Ferathir took V'ieh under his guidance and protection until she got on her feet. He set her up with some self defensive studies and pushed her onto her way to become peaceful, despite the anger she felt after being kidnapped and tortured for bruising her clan Nuhn's ego. Since then, the two have bonded and are sworn under The Oath that they would protect and help each other by all means necessary.
