Description

Mendi2.jpg

You see Dancer Mendira Huns, an Elf.
She has pointed ears and large expressive faded lilac eyes. Her dark brown hair is long and wavy, and is worn braided and deftly woven with a diacan haedor. 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 your 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 wearing an auroral-toned lotusweave kirtle belted by draping chains of gold, a gold neithrel band fastened with five silver chains and a pair of creamy velvet slippers couched in gold.

Mendi's Favorite Things

TAP: a careworn dancer's treatise bound by soft rosecloth ribbons
LOOK: 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.
TAP: an auroral-toned lotusweave kirtle belted by draping chains of gold
LOOK: 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.
TAP: 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.
NOTE: Eye brow rings that match Briaen's, to signify their marriage.  From Humanist.
TAP: a gold neithrel band fastened with five silver chains
LOOK: 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."

Mendi's Home

[Almalne Alolan, Grassy Road]
Giving way to fields again, the orchard's edge is planted with wood roses that display petals a shade of pink that is tipped with lavender. Dense grasses threaten to hide the road itself, their shades of green richly hued. A gate of artfully wrought iron stands between two of the bushes. You also see a rose-covered silverwillow cabin with a planter of geraniums hanging by the door and a cozy white oak cottage.
Obvious paths: east, west.

You unlock the door to a rose-covered silverwillow cabin.
You open the door to a rose-covered silverwillow cabin.
You walk through the door to your cabin.

[Mendira's Home]
white snowbeast pelt rug adorns the zingana floor of this small room. An open brick-lined hearth rests between a simple bed with a beech headboard and a lace-skirted beech dressing table pushed up against the smooth plaster walls. The room holds a very faint scent of roses. You also see a dainty white mouse, a large garden window with sparkling glass panes, a trio of cascading baskets hung from the ceiling and a simple beech chair that is facing the table.
Obvious paths: none.

>look in bask
In the cascading baskets you see some vibrant red roses.
>look on table
On the beech dressing table you see a carved wooden mirror with a silver inlaid handle and a carved wooden brush with a silver inlaid handle.
>look on bed
On the simple bed you see a tatted-edge white linen pillow, a tatted-edge white linen pillow and a fuzzy white wool blanket.

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: a dainty white mouse that lives in her house, a tubby honey badger, a fuzzy brown sea otter, a tiny warty piglet, a pudgy river rat, and a portly jaguar-spotted kitten with onyx rosettes and oversized beige paws.
  • 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.
