Atha

Oh good lord I thought my computer would kill itself during this test to monitor load-based heat fluxes XP I dunno what it is about me and refs... they always end up big with my personal characters with all the info on them >_> I had to try very hard not to accidentally turn Atha into a species ref for the Daemiir, and just keep the necessary information XP
------
Hetherev Form:
Name: Atha

Height: Approximately 5' 5" to the shoulder

Age: 18 (35 human years)

Gender: Neutral Hermaphrodite (Refers to self as female)

Town: Morran Forest

Personality: Rough re-hash from above text:
Atha is as mild-mannered as Naya (her Bonded) in an outward public view, but she possesses sharp wit and tongue as well as an explosive defense mode if Naya or close companions become threatened and/or injured.

She has a fondness for shells and often gathers many in her trips to put towards jewelry and outfits, even bartering for supplies she can't otherwise get.

When meeting new people her cat-like nature and inherent shyness will keep her at a distance at first before she feels they are safe to interact and familiarize with, in which she’ll show her more touch-friendly nature.

Atha never complains about carrying heavier loads if she is the largest and/or strongest of the group. She doesn’t mind giving those in need a ride on her back, as she can form her aural field into a more comfortable ‘saddle’, but she is quick to throw off freeloaders.

She is very fond and protective of Naya as is her Daemiir nature, and that special bond kept her from slipping into insanity and suicidal mode when her memories became locked away because her body knew its soul partner was still alive.

Atha can verbally speak like a human/humanoid, but prefers to speak tellepathically.

She feels a constant emptiness in the absence of the memories of her Bonded, and Naya herself, causing her to travel eventually to find That which would finally put her mind to rest. The friends she makes help in coping with the Need by forcing her to pay attention to the world around her and appreciate it as she quests for her memories and Bonded, but she still feels the drive to be reunited with Naya.

Is there anything you feel very STRONGLY that your character NOT be drawn doing?: Atha is a fairly serious character, though portraying her in cat-like behaviors is not uncommon, at least not for a horse-sized Daemiir! At the moment I can't think of any situation to not draw her doing, but it may change in the future as she progresses along.

Anyways yes this is Atha, a prime example of how complex a Daemiir can be in markings (Sariya was a poor example and I was a bit concerned people would think that's how Daemiir should be like!) and how 'modifiable' their features are, though she is a poor example in that area.

She's a bit shorter than your standard Daemiir because of her Bonded partner, who I hope I'll be able to post relatively soon >_> Right now you shall know her by the name of Naya >:3

No bio posted on her this time as it'll be more revealed in bits and pieces over the process of completing the challenges ;3

Other than the stuff for the Hetherev group this ref should be considered an official character ref!
