Hair: Silvery White Eyes: Pale Green Fur: Black As A Mooonless Night Ahura's nickname of the Night Sky is quite apt, with a glossy coat the color of a moonless night. The only defect is a slash over her right eye revealing a line of angry pink scar tissue, which she strives to keep covered up with makeup. Her eyes are a pale jade color, but her most striking feature is her hair. It grows in a human fashion, long and silky, and brilliant white, hanging to just over the base of her tail. Overall, she is lithe and curvaceous, a superb build for a dancer, walking with the confidence of one who has truly mastered their craft - or the confidence of a vainglorious fool, depending on who you ask. BACKGROUND Custom: Servant of the Jinn Personality Traits: My attention shifts very abruptly. I can be hyperfixated on something or somebody in one moment, and suddenly leave them to do something else. Ideals: Self-Expression. Even in bondage, I will find ways to express my deepest feelings and bring more beauty to the world. Bonds: An efreeti noble thought he could force me into his bedchambers under my master's nose. I have trouble keeping my claws sheathed thinking about him. Flaws: Yes, I WAS the jewel of my master's collection, and I won't let anyone forget about it Background Feature: Marked By The Jinn Spending so long in the presence of the jinn or noble genies has left its mark on you. The mark isn't noticeable to most creatures, but genies and elementals sense that you have spent time at the courts of the jinn and are favourably disposed toward you when you first interact with them. Your affinity for jinn and geniekind also makes it easier for you to identify their influence on the world. You have advantage on Intelligence checks or saving throws to recognize items and magic created by genies and to see through their illusions and trickery. Backstory Ahura was orphaned at a very young age, not knowing the face of her father, and her mother leaving her with nothing but a small vial that still smells of perfume, and the dying words "keep bringing beauty into the world". Despite this, she stayed very positive. She'd often find busking musicians and start dancing, in exchange for a small cut of the profits. Her grace and showmanship persisted, as she blossomed into womanhood - which wound up drawing the attention of Emir Shahaal of the Brass City. While most react with fear and trepidation when one of the jinn demand them as a slave, Ahura was overjoyed. For one thing, it meant she and her dancing were beautiful, which is exactly what mother would have wanted. It also meant she didn't have to fret over where her next meal was going to come from. Though Ahura had raw talent, she was soon learning from the finest instructors that Shahaal could afford. She learned not only dances to please the eye and titillate the senses, but also sacred ritual dances, as well. Now she was not an awkward beggar just dancing enthusiastically for a few coppers. She was a beautiful, captivating woman, capable of pleasing the eye for hours on end with movements of utmost grace and beauty. However, some are not content to simply enjoy beauty with their eyes. Ahura found herself with a thoroughly undesirable admirer - an efreet by the name of Ibram. It wasn't that he was physically unattractive, far from it, but he seemed to think that merely being a djinn meant he was entitled to anything he wanted from lesser races, regardless of thier current loyalties or personal preferences. Ibram desired Ahura for himself, and did everything he could to try to convince Shahaal to sell her contract to him. But Shahaal refused, for he greatly enjoyed Ahura's skills. So, Ibram decided if he could not claim Ahura by legal means, he would resort to force. One night, after Ahura was exhausted from hours of dancing at one of Shahaal's more extravagant parties, she worked her way back towards the servant's quarters, when a rough hand clapped over her mouth, and another grabbed her waist. Ibram quickly tried to muscle her towards the nearby bedchambers, easily exceeding her meager strength. Ahura was agile, though, and managed to squirm free of his grasp several times, once long enough to call out for help. Before he could make his advances, though, Shaheel's guards were upon him. The two were torn apart - but not before Ibram was able to lash out, bloodying Ahura's face, and spitting out a curse at her. When the healers examined her, they found that the wound had healed instantly, but imperfectly, leaving a large scar over her eye. Ahura was extremely upset, but Shahaal decided to take her aside and lead her through his art gallery, showing her examples of kintsugi, an Eastlands art of repairing broken pottery with gold. A scar didn't mean she was ugly. In fact, she could continue becoming more beautiful in spite of it, or maybe even because of it. Somewhat heartened by this, Ahura resumed her performances, though she still wasn't comfortable with her scar, taking pains to keep it covered with make-up. She compensated for this by putting even more passion into her performances. Eventually, her 1001 days of servitude came to a close, and Ahura was released from Shahaal's services, returned to the material plane. Now, with a stable means of supporting herself, she decided to investigate her perfume vial. She has heard of Per-Bastet, a city devoted to the goddess of perfumes, and its infamous Perfume District. Perhaps they might have a hint as to why her mother was carrying an empty bottle that even now carries its divine fragrance.
