You see Twilight Tippler Lasaia Asarana, Reshalian Bulwark of the Order of the Iron Circle, an Elven Trader.
Her face is superimposed by colorful moonsmoke that flows into pattern-disrupting apparitions.
Lasaia has a shimmering opalescent powder highlighting the contours of her face with an assortment of short, thin scars criss-crossing the right cheek, pointed ears, some night-black kohl flawlessly applied to accentuate her star-flecked royal purple eyes and a tiny star-shaped night diamond nose stud piercing a small nose. Her crystalline hair is calf length and glossy, and is worn swept up by a midnight-hued Phelim's Bliss rose made of glittering starlight velvet and allowed to tumble freely down the back. She has pearlescent skin contoured with glittering swipes of translucent crystal dust and a sylphlike figure. She is statuesque for an Elf.
Some starlight velvet ribbons float lazily around her neck, glowing with a lustrous sheen against her skin. Her right hip has a tattoo of a delicate symbol of refinement.
She is wearing a jaunty tricorn hat displaying a skull and crossbones, an imperial weave eyepatch, a tailored jacket of finely woven amethyst westan wool, a short black dress of starlight velvet with crescentic cutwork at the hips, a dark loimic oath ring bisected by a sparkling tasialm falling star and a pair of polished black thigh boots with pointed toes and silver-cinch buckles.
Fun fact! Lasaia's eyes are actually black-limned mazarine. She uses a magical ring to project an illusion of her favorite color.

Boutique
[In the Knight's Hall of the Riverhaven Plaza, Warrior Room]
Central in the room, a life-sized carved wooden warhorse stands rearing on a woven burgundy runner outlined in brass stanchions with velvet covered ropes. The steed is fully bedecked in a suit of polished plate, tassels of gold threads hanging from its harness and a brass-riveted scabbard hanging beside the black leather saddle. Paintings of stallions in battle are hung above high-backed gilded chairs placed near the entrances to the various shops.
There is a flower-covered arch leading to 'Lasaia's Dream Blossom Boutique'.
[Lasaia's Dream Blossom Boutique, Sales Floor]
A granite sales counter sits prominently in the back of the shop, providing a surface for merchant and customer to haggle or exchange goods for coin. A black oak mantle hangs on the granite walls, with a black oak armoir and a black oak vanity along the edges of the room. A black oak desk sits on the granite floor, with a black oak trunk placed nearby to provide a variety of browsing options.
(The Hired Help)
Deals on Wheels
[Lasaia's Caravan, Exterior]
Lasaia owns a smokewood caravan shaped like a whiskey barrel bound with audrualm hoops. Large rivets secure bluish-grey hoops binding the wooden slats of the caravan together. Complete with a oversized spigot for a doorknob, the whole assembly rides atop laminated wheels resembling barrel lids. A metal plate attached to the back of the caravan reads "There's a Party Inside!".
[Lasaia's Caravan, Interior]
A plush bedroll rests along one wall with a artificial fire pit nearby. Though carved of wood, the fire pit has been cleverly painted to reveal the surrounding stones and even brightly painted flames along the firewood. The walls and ceiling are the color of the night sky with small embedded crystals resembling stars.
Estates
[Crossing Apartment and Half Bar, Raven's Court]
Walls of alerce mosaic and a glittering crystal tile floor covered by a royal purple carpet enclose this room. In one corner lies a luxurious ilomba bed draped in garlands of moonstained wildflowers, and near the bed sits a striking dressing table painted in soft sunset hues on which rests a small glittering jewel safe of starlight-white uthamar. A darkened oak mantel fireplace burns along the far wall with a stately alerce-framed painting hanging above it. The room holds a slight scent of starflowers.
You also see a long-haired grey kitten, a darkstone-framed clerestory window, a sleek mistglass bar cart with an exquisitely sculpted uthamar openwork frame with several things on it and a high-backed mahogany parlor chair that is facing the table.
(Inspiration)
[Ratha Manor and Full Bar, Shh'o'kumu Terrace, Zsikiel Lane]
A delightful lane is paved in perfectly matched cobbles, and bordered by low whitewashed fencing and sculpted hedges. Draping willows form an arch over the roadway. You also see an elegant red brick manor sitting behind terraces of red-bricked seasonal gardens.
Black and tan goldwood walls and a dramatic gold and ebon tile floor covered by a fluffy featherlette rug featuring bright blue and green hues enclose this room. In one corner lies a claw-footed chaise lounge featuring a bold pattern of emerald green palm leaves, and near the lounge sits a circular black and tan sana'ati bar with a white lace runner with some stuff on it. A white pillared marble fireplace burns along the far wall with a horizontal painting of people promenading through a park hanging above it. The room holds a slight scent of sea spray. You also see a black and tan Rossgallan setter, a fan-shaped stained glass window composed of seaglass in blue and green hues, a maple door carved with the figure of Morganae, an elegant dark goldwood bookcase with blackened moonsilver filigree with a generous shot of cartographer's whiskey on it and a rich black cashmere armchair.
(Color Scheme and Theme)
Senthic and Lasaia occasionally crash at her Crossing apartment after long, smoky nights of gambling and booze in the VIP Suite. Since forming the Sand Spider Crew, they've affectionately dubbed the Ratha manor "The Pirate Palace". The rear of the brick house has been entirely defaced by graffiti emblems: tiny eye-patched kitten skulls overlaying crossbones. Due to the fact that they were both drunk on spiked sea grog, they're not sure if one or both of them did it.
Beloved Animals
Lasaia keeps after a travel kitten named Sunny, her housecat Minch, the octo-hog Swinethic, an otter with no name and one Akhaal horse, Haizel.

Lasaia pulls a shiny sheet of platinum paper from inside a jumbled memory book filled with keepsakes and drawings.
The paper is painted with: a vision of Violet and Leaf costumed as Wood and Flame. The pair faces each other, hands intertwined, exchanging a soulful look. A cloaked Prince Joy admires them from the background, piercing eyes gazing out from beneath the hem of his hood. The Prince is depicted to have a mountainous shadow, mismatched from his build as if it were not his own. Circus performers, clowns, and stagehands loiter about the throuple. Among those that stand out - a ringmistress in a fancy pants top hat, three flamboyant peacocks one of which is holding a sword, a couple of ordinarily dressed folks in the midst of a popcorn food fight, a tall Elf in white standing in a puddle of paint, a short young bard in a leotard holding a giant hoop, and a Gnome being chased by a ferocious kitten. The piece is titled ~Run Away With Us~ along the bottom in an elegant script.
Along the bottom of the paper, you notice, Author: Lasaia
