Description

You see Zamara, a Prydaen Empath. She has tufted pointed ears and cat-slitted crystal blue eyes. Her silver-streaked black mane is long and thick, and is worn pulled back in a multitude of beaded braids. She has black fur, a tufted slender tail and a lissome figure. Some miniature blue gold Shariza symbols float lazily around her head, glowing with a lustrous sheen against her fur.
She is a hyena-stalker for a Prydaen.

She is wearing a pure white cowl, a darkstone crescent moon earcuff hung with a gleaming triquetra, a leather-corded Prydaen ancestral bone necklace, a dark backpack of rough suede branded by the image of a wildcat, some blood red gloves, a red and gold albredine ring, a triple-stranded cambrinth hip chain dangling with tiny discs leafed in blue gold and a professional healer's robe embroidered with tricolored serpents.

Biography

Zamara was an energetic and curious child who grew up as the oldest of several younger sisters, including several kits whom her mother had come to watch over following their parent’s deaths or disappearances. Her mother had suffered a leg injury in the escape from their homeland and was not able to travel far, but could still hunt well enough to provide for the kits, and took to working with several of the people in the new lands to help support the children.

Zamara was often one of the best fighters amongst her sisters until age seven when she grew increasingly ill and spent the next several months in bed with fever. During her recovery her mother heard word of her father from a traveler and took off to seek him out as soon as Zamara was on her feet again. This would be the last Zamara would hear from her, and she would struggle to support her family throughout the rest of her childhood while battling a reoccurring illness that claimed the lives of two of her sisters. At age fourteen, she was finally pointed towards an empath passing through, who pulled the disease from her body. This experience enraged Zamara, since she could have been cured so many years ago had she had the knowledge of what was wrong with her. Within the year she relocated those of her family, blood and not, to the Rivercrossing area and promptly began researching the empath guild. She would join the guild within four years.

Zamara has no tolerance for secrets, especially when they endanger the public welfare, and is fond of ‘science’ and research. Her experiences also cause her to educate the young, when they are open to it. She does not like being told what she can, or cannot do and as a result would rather work with, than join an organization when necessary.

Alterations

a professional healer's robe embroidered with tricolored serpents

  • Look: The flowing garment has a wide hood and billowing sleeves. Sinuous red, black and blue serpents adorn the neck and hem of the robe. The curving snakes are interlaced in a triangular pattern that is repeated throughout.

a darkstone crescent moon earcuff hung with a gleaming triquetra

  • Look: Exquisitely sculpted from darkstone, this earcuff has been shaped into a crescent moon. The dark steel is gracefully interlaced in a complex geometric pattern that decorates the cresent shape. Dangling from a petite chain that links both tips of the moon together is a diminutive gleaming triquetra.

a dark backpack of rough suede branded by the image of a wildcat

  • Look: Wickedly sharp teeth clasp the container shut, while inside the contents are nestled within luxurious silks. Various beads adorn the straps, with the wildcat's curled image sleeping on the wide flap, its claws inlaid with ivory.

Some miniature blue gold Shariza symbols

  • Look: Three palm sized discs are expertly crafted from blue gold and each bears twin crescent moons set in bas relief. No cord, chain or other binding links the discs together, though they seem inseparable.
