Snarky Cythra Feralclaw née Seord Wildclaw, Transcendent Bard, Word Mistress of Elanthia

…yes, THE Cythra

Description

She has wicked cat-slitted violet eyes. Her black-streaked auburn mane is very long and wavy, and is worn loose. She has glittered silver fur, a straight tail and a gracefully slender figure. She is tall for a Prydaen.

She has a swirling diagonal pattern of tiny silvery painted stars running from her forehead to cheekbone.

Her cheekbone has a tattoo of interlocking red, blue and black spirals forming a triskele pattern.

Cythra affirmed her vows with Eurynomile before the gods on the 35th day in the 5th month of Uthmor the Giant in the year of the Crystal Snow Hare, 440.

Plague, Cythra's pet kitten:

a spotted pale silver kitten adorned with a crimson moonsilver tag.

The fuzzy, charcoal-grey leopard-like markings culminating in a ringed, black-tipped tail present the illusion of speed on this white-bellied, silver kitten. The kitten's broad face features large, curious, turquoise eyes of malice. Around its neck is an amethyst collar dangling an octagonal tag which emits a soft, luminous glow of wavering hues ranging from bright ruby to deep crimson. The crimson moonsilver tag is boldly engraved with the word, "Plague."

Cythra's favoritest (non-Eerie) thing:

A sheet of parchment paper

The paper is painted with: A beautiful Prydean looks out at you with wicked cat-slitted violet eyes, peering over lavender lensed spectacles. She has glittered silver fur and a black-streaked auburn mane. She wears an elegant black and auburn engagement ring on one hand. She is sitting in what you recognize as The Crossing Bards' Guild Performance Hall and appears to be reading from the book in her hands, which is titled "Eerie's Bed Time Stories." There is a mischievous glint in her eyes and you sense that she is laughing silently. In front of her sits a teenaged girl with a halo of russet curls. Her eyes are alight with wonder as she sits completely wrapped up in the story. Beside her sits a graceful elven lady with an oval face framed by streaked black hair. Her warm eyes are twinkling as she listens and strums the e'erdream lap harp that she holds. Across the bottom of the page, in fine gold calligraphy, are the words: The moment I fell in love with being a Bard ~ Love, Yisindre

Turning Kermoria on its ear (one ear at a time if necessary).

Cythra's first public performance was probably in the year 358 where she won a contest for dance(?!).

Prize (on loan to Eerie): an enameled cloak clasp shaped like the masks of tragedy and comedy.

The clasp has been ingeniously crafted to resemble a mask of comedy or tragedy depending upon the light. When illuminated, the white mask of comedy is displayed, with its jubilant smile. Shadows casting across the clasp appear to change its visage to the mask of tragedy with a single tear trailing down the cheek.

There appears to be something written on it.

An enameled cloak clasp reads: Delicate script on the back of the clasp reads "The Great Charade, 358."

Lhark's Song

This song was written by Lhark in Tribute to Kaelie.
I felt it was important that it be memorialized somewhere.

God saw you were getting tired
A cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered,"Come with me."

With tearful eyes we watched you
As you slowly passed away
And though we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay

A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands were laid to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the very best!
