Gender: Female
Age: 30
Hair (Color & Style): Brown, Cream and Red, in a mottled variety,
very similar to a Tortoiseshell cat pelt. Usually worn long and
flowing, with a hint of curl to it. She will tie it up into
elaborate coiffures when the mood suits her.
Eyes: A deep green iris, lightening to a bright green nearer her
pupils, which are slitted like a cat�s
Scars/Tattoos: She has a variety of smaller scars all along her body
which give the impression of tiger stripes.
She has not yet told anyone how they came to be about. She has two
small bracelet tattoos, which she hides by wearing wrist ribbons.
The one on her left wrist is from when she was first taken captive
and sold into slavery. It marks her as a slave and is an artistic
rendering of the letters CH, the letters of the slave caravan
(Cluthay Herat) which sold her. The second (right wrist) was tattoo�ed
on her 13th birthday, when she lost her virginity to her owner,
Kumar ab Astan. It marks her as being owned by him.
Skin Shade: Dusty Bronze
Build: Slight but curvy.
Height: 3�7�
Over-all Face Shape: Heart shaped with a pointy little chin
Voice: Light and silky in the higher ranges. Very soothing and hypnotic.
Colour Scheme: Purple and Green
Clothing: Purple half top with green embroidery around neck, arm
and bottom edges. Bottom edge is fringed with green and purple beads.
Green skirt with a contrasting waistband of purple embroidered
with green threads. Bottom hem of skirt has same beaded fringe as
the top. Purple wrist and ankle wraps. The wrist wraps end in a
purple bracelet edged in green with green ribbons dangling from it.
At the end of the ribbons are more green and purple beads. The
ankle wraps end in a wrap sandles connected to green sandal tops.
Jewelry: Ankle wraps ending in bracelets and dangling ribbons with beads.
Weapons/Tools: Nothing she currently owns
Magic: Empathy and ????
Skills: She has been taught many un-elf-like things, such as reading,
writing and math. She has learned swordplay, though she has never
used it other than in practice. She has knowledge of potions and
herbs, healing ones to use on herself and her fellow Consorta�s,
and poisons to use on her master�s enemies. Her most celebrated
skill, though, would have to be in the furs, as that is the majority
of the training she has received. It is rumoured that many men
(and even women) have forsworn all others after having taken
pleasure in Faydra�s body.
Likes: Swordplay with Ke�SesanSeaonal ib Caranna. Traveling to distant
cities. Lazing about in the Consortia while reading and writing poetry. Playing with Ash.
Dislikes: Being a pleasure slave. Not being in control of her destiny.
Losing control of her emotions.
Fears: That she will never see her home and her parents. That she
will live forever imprisoned by humans, her body sold to the highest bidder.
Personality: Soothing and tranquil, her movements, as well as her
mind, are tightly controlled, efficient and graceful without being
stiff. Every movement is precise. Every action and word is thought
out well in advance. She is contemplative and quiet with a
subservient attitude. However, within her is the cat-proud
member of Weeping Tree Holt who, though willing to bend, can
not be broken.
History: At the age of 12, Fennel was captured by a band of human
thieves. Eventually, they sold her to a slave caravan for a tidy
profit. She was promptly bought by Kumar ab Astan, the financial
ruler of a small city on the far edge of the desert (more than a
month�s journey from the pride). She was renamed Faydra. Kumar ab
Astan bought her specifically to be taught the skills of a Consorta
(bed-slave), but as her lessons progressed, he realized she had a
keen mind (she learned the human tongue quite quickly) and eventually
tutored her in reading, writing and ciphering, in the hopes he could
send her into the homes of his allies and enemies alike and have her
ferret out secrets that would allow him to grow his vast financial
empire. Upon her 13th birthday, Kumar ab Astan took her virginity
(as was his right as her owner), even though he knew he could request
a high price from many of his associates for the honor. Over the
last 18 years, Kumar has used her body many times, both for his own
pleasure and those of his �guests� whom would benefit from her
attention. However, outside of the Consortia, he has never treated
her with anything other than respect and fatherly concern. Indeed,
Faydra thinks of him as a father with whom she has a love/hate
relationship. Privately, she admits to herself that if he would stop
bedding her, she could even come to like and admire him.Only recently
has Kumar ab Astan started sending her out for extended visits to
the homes and cities of his allies and enemies. Those who are
recipients of this very extravagant gesture soon real-ize that
Faydra is a double-edged sword. She is a tool for both their pleasure....
and pain. She has been instrumental in many of the eventual
downfalls they experience. Sometimes, they never even connect her
with the deed. Unbeknownst to Kumar ab Astan, one of his chief
guards, the eunuch Seonal ib Caranna, befriend-ed Faydra when she
was just a young kit. He, unable to have kids, has always looked
on her as the daughter he would have wished to have. He is
appalled by how she is treated, but, being of a lesser caste than
Kumar, can do nothing about it. He protects her as he can, indeed,
he has secretly trained her to the sword these many years. He
is one of only 3 guards proficient in the art of Si�Barown, which
is the ability to fight wielding two swords. The shorter of the
two swords, the sabre�teis Faydra�s practice sword. When they are
alone, he gives her the short sword, and uses the long sword,
or sabre�ta, for himself. She has become quite proficient in the
last 18 years, and Seonal is understandingly proud of his Ke�Nadeo
(heart-daughter). She is currently traveling across the desert
with an escort of 6 humans, (eunuch�s all) led by Seaonal ib
Caranna. They are escorting her to her latest paramour (or victim,
whichever way you look at it). Unfortunately, they are lost and
have wandered within a 5-day ride of the holt. Supplies are
dwindling, and fears are growing.
Bondbeast: Ash
Animal: Black Panther, 3 years old
Gender: Male
Colour/Appearance: Completely black, with a hint of midnight
blue highlights when he lays in the sun. His eyes, like hers,
are a vibrant green, which is why Kumar, on a whim, bought it
as a gift for her.
Anything else you would like to add:
Fennel�s disappearance from the holt occurred before she had
developed any of her abilities. She knows she has a small
ability at empathy, because she can sense and even manipulate
the human motions which constantly swirl around her. In fact,
she continually broadcasts a feeling of peace and serenity at
all times, which has saved her life more than once. Humans and
their volatile natures tend to calm down when around her. As she
has not been around any elves since her cap-ture, she does not
have any clue what her talents would do in that environment. In
fact, to keep despair at bay, she does not even tend to dwell on
the subject of returning to her people.
