Shaydee self portrait 2023

Appearance

You see Shaydee Coldsilence, Shadow Huntress of Elanthia, a S'Kra Mur. She has a flexible ridged crest which follows the shape of her skull, slitted dark eyes and an elegant snout, camouflage scales with a pale silver underbelly, a slender tail and a curvaceous figure. She is elderly. She has a tattoo of the fearsome World Dragon spouting blue flames from it's snarling jaws that form the words "Bound by fire" as it curls menacingly around on her tail.

Name: Shaydee Coldsilence in commonspeak but Shra'mus K’et’pon’zh in S'kra Mur which means to stop/halt/block the sun, thus making a shadow or Shady. followed by K’et’meaning “flame/fire followed by Pon meaning "speech” the 'zh , a S'kra Mur modifier which negates both the fire and the speech making it of fire and voice, but bearing the absence of both, literally translated to Coldsilence in commonspeak.

Profession: Master locksmith and survivalist with extensive experience in covert operations, wilderness and rural navigation, and discreet, undercover courier work. Shadow Huntress,

Guild: Use to be primarily in The Crossing Guild, but since the demise of the guild leader there, she moved first to Riverhaven Guild doing discreet courier work. She then returned to Crossing only to get herself exiled for suspected sorcery, (It was all a misunderstanding, I swear!) so made a run for it to Shard where she is now an upstanding and well respected citizen.

Reputation:

Shaydee is widely regarded as a master of discretion and resourcefulness. While she has a long history of operating in dangerous environments, she avoids speaking openly about many of her past ventures. Colleagues describe her as calm under pressure, fiercely loyal to those she trusts, protective of those who follow her craft and an expert in navigating both the deep wilderness and the urban streets.
