| Appearance | A twenty-six year old woman from Semhar, Shalinda has dark brown skin, tanned from the many years in the sun. Her hair is a far darker shade, almost black if one were to look right. Her eyes are like sapphires sparkling with joy, especially when things work to her advantage. For a woman, she is unusually tall, around five and a half feet in height. Because of her athletic abilities, her frame is slim, though in an attractive way as due the custom in her home country. Shalinda's normal attire consists of a bright gold-yellow shortened shirt that exposes her toned torso and arms while a lengthy skirt kisses the ground as she walks, hididng her equally toned legs. A transparent gold sash is wrapped around her right shoulder and hangs down to meet with the edge of her skirt. Upon her left shoulderblade is perhaps the one 'blemish' to this bronzed female; a white tattoo marking of Semhar's 'star', the symbol of her devotion to Aurora. For protection, Shalinda carries two hidden knives underneath the fabric of her skirt, sewn into secret pockets. She also carries a staff which has a large white stone centered within the wood. |
| Personality | As a Semharian woman, Shalinda grew up as a very spoiled child. Later years and experiences caused that brat-like attitude to wane, though to a small degree. She is very protective about her virginity though, believing it to be the reason she has her 'talents' and perceives her magical abilities as the blessing of Aurora for being pure of mind and body. |
| History | Born on a bright summer's day, Shalinda never knew her mother; she had died giving life to the beuautiful child. Her father, Sulidio, already saw his daughter as a gift from the Light and doted on her constantly. As a young girl, her studies were a main priority in her life, and much like a father would, gave his beloved child everything she asked. Her teenaged years were like normal, being praised among the others for her radiance, and even had received proposals for marriage when she turned sixteen. Shalinda turned them all down though, much to the disappointment of her father, who wished nothing more than for the essense of his wife to be happy. Upon walking home one evening with an armload of food for making supper, Shalinda saw a few men before her; some of the suitors that had proposed had decided that she couldn't 'deny' them any longer. According to them, yes women were sacred and beloved, but being a woman also gave her no right to deny a proposal when asked. Catching the scent of alcohol on their breath, she decided to try and sidestep the two and continue home, but as she did this, her arm was seized, spilling the groceries in the process. After pulling the teenager into a nearby alley and pinning her against the wall, the two were going to tear her clothing off before she shouted at them to stop and put her hand out to try and stop them. An unbelievable thing happened then; a small white glow appeared in her hand before growing at a quick rate into a light that shone like a small sun. When the light died, she stoodwith her gaze transfixed upon her hand, ignoring the cries of her former assailants as they clawed the air. Her first show of 'talent' had blinded the two young men. Afraid of the result if anyone else discovered the truth, Shalinda gathered her things and ran home. Her father had returned home to find his daughter still staring at her hand, as if there was some blemish upon it. It took a while to get the truth out, but once the whole incident spilled out amid the tears, Sulidio knew that he had to get her to leave, not only for her safety, but for the sake of her future; he didn't know what would happen should his only child be arrested for an assault...aside from having any manner of speech robbed from her and forced into the mines for the rest of her days. It was then decided that she travel to Carthan, to the city of Kalimshere, and seek guidance on how to further master this talent of hers to the utmost. This incident happened when she was eighteen. Eight years have passed since then, and the teenager has blossomed into quite the experienced magic user. In additition to figuring out how her talent worked, Shalinda also learned some self-defense from random strangers and has since kept a pair of knives on her person, just in case. With the events in the world unfolding, she sees this as an opprotunity to let her abilities shine. |
