Description

You see Davafro Vayato Kalaralor Silverclaw, Spellsword of Elanthia, a Prydaen.
She has pointed ears and cat-slitted silver-flecked violet eyes. Her lavender-streaked black mane is very long and wavy, and is worn in a deceptively careless-looking arrangement of upswept locks held in place by a carved ivory crescent moon haircomb set with tiny moonstone chips. She has glittered black fur, a slender tail and a curvaceous figure.
She is tall for a Prydaen.
A scintillating blue-tinged amethyst rests on her forehead, just above her eyes.

History

Born

She was born on the 5th day of the 7th month of Moliko the Balance in the year of the Amber Phoenix, 365 years after the victory of Lanival the Redeemer.

Childhood

Kalaralor and her twin sister, Talaralor, were born in an encampment set up after the great migration, to Hanaralor and Toleir Silverclaw. Kala spent her childhood as many kits before the journey east would have, training her natural abilities, listening to the elders teach, and generally getting into mischief with her sister.

At the age of 17, she and her sister completed their Cizayu and they were sent out from the home they had known in order to gain wordly knowledge and train their skills. The encampment has since been destroyed and rebuilt in a new location. Her father was killed in the attack shortly after she came to Crossing and while she sometimes misses the place she grew up, she knows that home is where her heart leads her.

Coming to The River Crossings

Kalaralor, being the less adventurous than her sister, followed Tala on the long walk to Crossing. To her, it was a distasteful place. There was too much noise, too much garbage, and too many new smells and new people. The fact was, she hadn't had much interaction with any but her own kind and because she spoke very little common and her sister none at all, she had a lot of trouble trying to figure things out.

Choosing a Guild

She quickly found out from the shopkeeper she had went to to purchase supplies that they must first join a guild or make a name for themselves before they would be allowed to purchase anything. Originally, Kala had planned on simply joining whichever guild her sister did, but while her sister wished only for battle, Kala wished for knowledge.

After much contemplating, Kala joined the Warrior Mages, believing that she would have the best of both worlds in the art of war and the art of magic. Since the time she joined, she has matured in many ways, in her outlook of the world at large, in her hunting style, and in her personality.

Kalaralor does not rely on her guild alone to train. She wishes to be well rounded as so trains to the standards of all guilds save for those things she is not allowed to learn. Currently, she is almost 20th circle by all guild standard and will often 'pretend' to be another guild for days at a time.

Meeting her Mate

Kalaralor was in many ways mature when she left her home to come to Crossing, but she was also childish in many others. She pursued many males when she was first getting settled. If a handsome male walked her way, it was a weakness she could not deny.

She was, and in some ways still is, very lazy as well, which was how she met her life-mate, Qedryn. Talaralor was always trying to get Kalaralor to hunt and on this particular day she had refused, instead opting to sit in front of her guild and listen to classes.

It was there that she saw the whitest male Prydaen she had ever seen in her life. She had white-furred cousins but none of which as pale as he was and it was the major reason she began her conversation with him. He told her that the elders had marveled over him as well when he was growing up and it made her happy to know that there were indeed other traditional Prydaens in Crossing.

They began spending time together though her sister was a bit put out by it. For as long as they could remember, Tala and Kala had practically been joined at the hip. Now, Qedryn was somewhere in between them and while Kala loved them both dearly, she felt tugged in two different directions.

Luckily, Tala came to terms with Qedryn and it was not long after that Kala and Qedryn bonded at Shakahn's Grove with only they and the cleric Makime there. They decided this ceremony would be quick and simple and later on, when they had the finances to accomplish it, that they would host a more traditional bonding. They viewed this one as a trial of sorts, the time they would have spent being watched by the elders before they were mated for life.

They have been together for over three years now and have yet to have their official bonding, but with all things considered, they are life-mates.

Other Information

Kalaralor is easy going most of the time though she has her bouts of higher than thou attitude. Normally quick with a smile, she can often be found sitting out front of the Warrior Mage's guild in the midst of a conversation or teaching a class.

Kalaralor tends to be very traditional as far as Prydaens go. She relates to the S'kra Mur motto, "Honor is measured by the length of one's tail -- and the opinions of those without simply aren't worth considering." However, she has many friends overall in many races and, generally, only because they have earned her respect in one way or another.

She prefers the company of her own kind but is not adverse to spending time with other races. She also tends to speak in her own language as common is grating on her ears and she tends to ignore disapproval of this by any race. She believes that if people want to know what she is saying then they can take a class in Prydaenese or mind their own business because her conversation didn't include them.

Family and the Pryde is a large part of Kala's life and she does her best to take care of those who have managed to find a place in her heart, either for being a sounding board or taking her siblings, mate, children and other family members on random shopping trips wether they want to go or not. She enjoys teaching the old ways and has been known to spend hours explaining the deeper meanings of Prydaen traditions to those who would care to listen.

Aside from all of the above, Kala is very artistic and has done a number of portraits for various people across the realms. She is still learning to paint fur for Prydaens and scales for S'kra Mur's but is quite good at depicting furless which she is exceedingly proud of.

The Silverclaw Pryde

Kala is the leader of the Silverclaw Pryde which mostly resides in Crossing. The Pryde consists of her family and those she has adopted into it.

Kalaralor and Qedryn's Home

While hunting Reavers Kala and Qedryn stumbled on what they call the Grotto. Nearly devoid of people, the cave was interesting, natural and housed many shelters which reminded Kala of home. She decided immediantly that this would be where they would build their own shelter.

Walls of rough-hewn oak and a polished riverstone floor covered by a plush dark fur pelt enclose this tiny hovel. In one corner lies a sprawling fur-covered bed, and near the bed sits an ironwork and frosted glass table with a delicate white marble Tenemlor figurine and a delicate black marble Demrris figurine on it. A circular riverstone firepit burns along the far wall. The room holds a lingering scent of moonflowers. You also see a door, an ironwork velvet-covered chair that is facing the firepit, an ironwork velvet-covered chair that is facing the table, an ironwork velvet-covered chair that is facing the table, an ironwork velvet-covered chair that is facing the firepit, a copper and patina weapon rack with a curving ash-hafted halberd embossed with knotwork vines on it, a lined leather trunk with a plump copper-trimmed fishbowl on it, a carved bone armor stand and a spotted cat.

Kala's Artistic Designs

Kala runs her own art business producing high quality paintings of people in the realms. She has yet to master painting Prydaens and other non-humanoid races but she excels at painting furless. She is willing to do portraits generally for 250 plat or sometimes for an item that catches her fancy. If you are interested in seeing her work, you can gweth her. She is normally found in Crossing.
