K'hora Sani
K'hora Sani Country Before Coin About
General: Originally from the Azim Steppe in Othard, K'hora Sani was born "Horasani" and went by that name until the death of her birth mother when she was seven years old. At that time she was formally taken in by a small settlement of K tribe miqo'te that had sheltered them for three years. K'hora took a new name more in line with the naming conventions of her tribe, with a 'K' letter prefix and retained the portion of her name she shared with her mother Alusani, the last tie to her past. K'hora lived and hunted with her sisters until she turned sixteen. Personality: K'hora is friendly and lively when engaged in conversation though she may not always initiate it with strangers. This is not out of any tendency to be shy though as she is far from it. She is fond of female company and will casually flirt with those she finds attractive. She rarely filters her speech for the sake of others and will speak honestly without care of offending others, though she is rarely vulgar. K'hora will always try to act with the common good in mind and if a rule needs to bent to do it she will not hesitate to do so. She may choose not to intervene in matters of lawbreaking, preferring to leave such matters to the Brass Blades unless she witnesses the act or a threat to civilians is present. She is a passionate woman and those passions may lead her on a course that causes difficulty for herself. Revealing or being discovered to be involved in illegal activity will not necessarily result in her being at odds with another person. If she deems the offense to be minor she will likely overlook it and not press the matter. If the offense is despicable in her view such as cold-blooded murder, or unlawful slavery, she may attempt to arrest the suspect. If witnessed personally her passions may lead to a swift judgement and punishment regardless of any consequences for vigilante action. Appearance: At sixty-three ilms, K'hora is tall for a Xaela female. She is physically strong with an athletic build and weighs one hundred and ten ponzes. Her skin is a warm brown hue and her irises have a striking crimson tint. Her horns and scales are a little lighter in color from a distance than other Xaela. Upon closer inspection they appear to have a pearlescent luster at the ridges and a hidden iridescence that will only reveal itself under firelight. The scales and tip of her tail are smooth to the touch despite the rough appearance they give from afar. The tail itself is capable delicate movement when called for. She has full control of it when she wishes to but it will follow the whims of her emotional state and express itself with independent movement otherwise. Scars & Markings: As a veteran soldier and adventurer before that, K'hora has numerous faded scars that appear as faint lines of a lighter color on her dark skin. Her innate healing magic has prevented all but one wound from forming any serious scar tissue in her skin so they can be seen but not felt when touched. K'hora chose not to completely erase them as they healed, preferring to keep them instead. Each scar is a link to a memory she will not allow herself to lose. Voice: K'hora has a naturally sultry voice with a deep, rich laugh. Her early life with her adoptive tribe has lent certain Seeker Miqo'te inflections and seven years living in Ul'dah has resulted in the unusual accent Othardian Xaela find unfamiliar. Clothing: K'hora is most often seen wearing the armor of a Flame Elite befitting her rank while on duty. Her garb is in fact an illusion fashioned by countless tiny glamour prisms sewn into her armor and clothing. The appearance of her clothing is controlled magically and is made possible by her extensive research into the tactical applications of glamours as espionage tools. As an avid dancer she often wears clothing that allows freedom of movement and/or flowing pieces intended to catch the eye as she dances. One of the more notable features of her appearance are the handcrafted ears she often wears as a headband with her casual dress. Originally made by her miqo'te sisters and styled after their own, they were given as a gift to make her feel welcome in her new home as a young child. She continues to wear them in her adult life though there have been many made and gifted since that first pair years ago.
