Notes
- Grew up in Leth and then Crossing, and more recently spent time in Zaldi Taipa, which she at last considers her home despite an at times tenuous relationship with her heritage. Currently lives nearby, in the apple orchards north of Shard.
- Is in the process of overcoming a wildly severe case of shyness. Has gotten much better about not blushing every time someone looks at her, and this is amazing progress that makes her 150% more tolerable to be around, probably.
- Is married to Dawnsworn Briaen Huns, Knight Penitent of Berengaria and Wearer of the Best Titles.
- Her name is short for "Geshemendira," or "frozen treasure."
- As is common among Wind Elves, she has had many names over the years. Her heart name is now known by only one living soul, perhaps two.
- Loves flowers and prefers to see them happy and alive and growing in place, rather than picking them.
- Wishes to befriend every animal in the realms that isn't actively trying to murder her. Her pets include: an orange and white kitten (Punkin), a brown and black calico cat (Liani), a tubby honey badger (Wimsahle), a fuzzy brown sea otter (Puretu), a tiny warty piglet (Taurili), a pudgy river rat (Lilu), and a portly jaguar-spotted kitten with onyx rosettes and oversized beige paws (Gordo).
- Once ran off-stage and into the night during a dramatic bout of stage fright at Shard's illustrious Shoan a Sidelkuloa.
- Is extremely insecure about her singing ability, but is attempting to hone her skills after receiving some excellent advice from a mentor on the intertwined nature of talent and hard work.
- Always carries a caddy full of Madikh's sassafras tea from the Lamb's Shank, in case of emergency.

Mendi's Favorite Things
Sungold Dance Costume
You see Songbird Mendira Huns, Dancer of Zaldi Taipa, an Elf. Mendira has pointed ears and large expressive faded lilac eyes. Her dark brown hair is hip length and silky, and is worn braided in a tightly wound coil held in place at the back of the head by a fragile sungold hairnet woven with translucent whisperlayne blooms. She has warm caramel-hued skin and a sylphlike figure. She is statuesque for an Elf. She appears to be young. She has several interlocking rings of green jade that pierce the flesh to follow along her right eyebrow, each notched in even intervals and rubbed with indigo. Her shoulder has a tattoo of a brightly colored songbird darting through a cascade of musical notes. She is in good shape. She is holding an elegant filigreed sungold dancing fan trailing lengths of lilac whisperlayne in her left hand. She is wearing a whisperlayne and petalette bandeau illumined by sungold beadwork, a wispy skirt composed of lilac whisperlayne entwined in fine strands of sungold and some delicate toe-bells of filigreed sungold.

a fragile sungold hairnet woven with translucent whisperlayne blooms Thin chains of softly gleaming metal linked at regular intervals comprise a loose mesh designed to secure a variety of hairstyles, affixed on either side to a set of small filigreed silver combs. Soft blossoms of airy, pale purple fabric are scattered across the joining points of the delicate hair ornament, their petals trembling and floating with every movement. |
12/13/2021 | Crafted by Scarecrow at HE 439 |
an elegant filigreed sungold dancing fan trailing lengths of lilac whisperlayne Finely drawn tendrils of metal twist together in a lattice of coiling strands to compose a series of delicate panels, each aureate in the warm, gentle hues of dawn. Carved to provide a secure grip, a ring of pure white alerce joins them at the base of the piece. Articulation of the wooden handle allows the fan to open and close smoothly, every movement setting the streaming translucent fabric affixed to the tip of each blade aflutter. |
12/13/2021 | Crafted by Scarecrow at HE 439 |
a whisperlayne and petalette bandeau illumined by sungold beadwork Neatly draped swathes of sheer fabric dyed a pale lilac hue veil the close-fitting garment's lustrous base of blush petalette. Silver cording trims the neckline and serves to lace up the back. Tiny beads and baubles stitched in intricate patterns atop the airy whisperlayne gleam in the light, shimmering with an array of sunrise hues. |
12/13/2021 | Crafted by Scarecrow at HE 439 |
a wispy skirt composed of lilac whisperlayne entwined in fine strands of sungold A blush petalette underskirt glimmers with a pearlescent sheen beneath layers of diaphanous whisperlayne. Silver cording adorns the upper edge of the garment to form a secure waistband that anchors the lavish lengths of fabric that billow downwards when worn. Clusters of aureate beads are strewn in ornate patterns across the gauzy top layer, each joined to the next by finely wrought tendrils of warm metal awash in all the hues of a rising sun. |

some delicate toe-bells of filigreed sungold Fine strands of gleaming metal tinged with warm sunset hues form the petals of diminutive blooms. Each of the hollow sculpted flowers encases a single, tiny bead of silver, and the argent drops jingle and rattle within their brilliant cages when jostled. |

a pair of blush petalette dancing slippers laced with twining ribbons The flat, flexible soles display signs of wear, their leather supple and scuffed, but the laces appear to be crisp and new. They criss-cross smartly over the throat of the shoes, the remaining lengths of silken fabric designed to wind about the ankles when worn. |
Peacock Dance Costume
You see Dancer Mendira Huns of Zaldi Taipa, an Elf. The glittery mask is covered in short greenish-blue feathers to create the regal head of a peacock and completely enshrouds her features. A fan-like crest crowns the top of Mendira's head, while long plumes of iridescent blue and green cascade down her shoulders to display their colorful eyespots sprinkled with peacock jaspers. The vibrant teal gems contrast sharply with the pure white beak of alerce covering the lower half of her face. She is in good shape. She is wearing a dramatic spun glitter cloak trailing a multitude of iridescent peacock plumes, an iridescent blue spun glitter bodice flamboyantly feathered with peacock plumes, a breathtaking classically-styled tutu composed of iridescent peacock feathers and a pair of soft gold velvet dancing slippers with silken ankle-laces.

a dramatic spun glitter cloak trailing a multitude of iridescent peacock plumes Innumerable delicate feathers are festooned in overlapping rows across a scintillating layer of vivid, sapphire blue spun glitter. They quiver with every movement of the garment, bright blue eyes showcasing their brilliance with every tremble. Emerald firesilk lines the interior, and its shimmering hue and shifting shades of red complement a pair of delicate gold hooks designed to secure the cloak at the throat. |
Smoke Ruby Icesilk Gown Set

a brilliantly gleaming sungold crown arrayed with molten-core diamonds A bevy of unfinished diamonds embrace the resplendent metal, their hearts aglow with the warm hue of the molten lava that pools within them. Radiant and proud, myriad pointed spires slope elegantly upwards from the brow, radiating outwards in the semblance of bright beams of sunlight. |

a sultry corseted gown of smoke ruby icesilk laced with dazzling sungold chains Crimson moonsilver boning reinforce an ornate corset that features panels of smoky icesilk and spun glitter. Draped elegantly downwards, sungold chains crisscross the gown's plunging open back. Tiny multi-hued sungold flames are stitched along the neckline and hem of the gown, giving the illusion of a fire burning across the material when light hits the delicate fabric just right. The skirt is designed to fall gracefully to the floor when worn, forming fragile pools of radiant silk upon the ground. |

a pair of smoke ruby icesilk slippers aloft upon slender heels of sungold Imbued with smoke rubies to produce a shade of red so dark it seems almost black, the luxurious fabric is illuminated by icy silver thread. Quite daring in design, each slipper perches atop a precariously high and narrow heel. The warmly hued metal contrasts the icesilk, reminiscent of dawning sunlight kissing the frosty dew of a dark, wintry morning. |

a careworn dancer's treatise bound by soft rosecloth ribbons Creasing and discoloration are evident along the lengths of blush-hued ribbon in a distinct pattern. Elegant lettering in faded gold leaf sweeps across the cover to read, "Dance Like Everyone's Watching: Forms, Theory, and Advice on Performing Before an Audience." Many of the pages are crinkled and littered with copious tiny notes in the margins. |

an auroral-toned lotusweave kirtle belted by draping chains of gold Awash in the pale hues of a dawning spring morning, the fabric gleams with a soft silken luster as it cascades from its demure scooped neckline to a floor-length hem. Long, narrow sleeves frame the bodice of the garment, and a series of loose golden chains hang across the hips. Medallions dangle from the fine links overlapping the folds of the flowing skirt, each carved with a stylized sun. |

some green jade rings notched in even intervals WORN: You have several interlocking rings of green jade that pierce the flesh to follow along your right eyebrow, each notched in even intervals and rubbed with indigo. |

a gold neithrel band fastened with five silver chains Lines of inlaid silver run along the heavy gold bracelet and ring forming the neithrel band. Each of the five silver chains stretches from different places upon the bracelet to join together on the single ring, forming a delicate silver web to lay across the back of the hand when worn. READ: "To remember, lest we forget the pain of those before us." |
06/28/2022 | Crafted by Loriale |
a supple heartname leather pack trimmed in beaded fringe Lines of colorful beads form a mosaic depicting a series of dancers in elegant poses, giving the semblance of entrancing movement with every sway and shiver of the fringe. A characteristic lacy pattern of striations blankets the exceptionally smooth leather, the lustrous carmine-tinted hide contrasted by downy ivory cashmere that lines the interior. |

a very fine wildflower-patterned shireli lace veil dyed with an ombre rainbow Graduated to achieve an ombre effect, rainbow hues shift from the lightest shade at the veil's top to the darkest at the bottom. Cottony and extremely soft, the lace has raised cording throughout its pattern that follows underneath the wildflower design. A very fine mesh shows delicately in the otherwise empty spaces, while its scalloped edges feature a distinct floral medallion motif and are daintily fringed for an eyelash effect. Tiny Elven gold discs weight the corners, jingling with any movement. |
