Finally managed to finished my character sheet. ^_^
******
Name: Shireen Nahel
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Persuasion: Cups
Element: Water
Zodiac sign: Gemini
Appearance: Shireen is not too tall, standing around 5'3 tall. She isn't the dainty sort, being big boned and somewhat muscular from living life on a ship. She weighs something around 130 lbs. Her skin may have once been fair, but at the moment it is tanned with freckles on the bridge of her nose and across the top of her rounded ruddy cheeks. She has a rather straight but short nose that compliments her rounded face. Her darker pink lips are not too wide but neither are they thin, and more often than not they are curved in a smile.
Her hair is a mix of different colours, all mostly shades of brown, the most permanent shade a burgundy. It tumbles down to the middle of her back in messy waves and curls for the most part, tied back into a pony tail with an old grey scarf.
As for her clothes, Shireen leans towards the practical. She tends to wear tunics of different colours, usually reaching a little over her knees with slits to the side that reach her hips so that movement isn't restricted at all. There is a no nonsense brown leather belt that is cinched highly around her waist. Her sleeves are usually rolled up to her elbows, revealing a tattoo on the inside of her arm, a couple of blue and white waves.
Below she wears trousers made of dark materials with pockets on both sides for convenience. She wears dark brown leather boots on her feet; rather battered looking but comfortable as well.
Weapons/other combat abilities:
A sword that belonged to her father. It's not exactly the most beautiful sword, what with the rather plain unmarked hilt, but its blade is sharp and has been well taken care of even before it came into her possession. It usually remains tucked under her belt, ever ready to be used... not that it is used much, however.
She has been taught the basics of how to wield a sword by her father and the other men who would work on her father's ship. She can also throw punches and kicks, and knows how to fight dirty. However, this is only when the goings get tough. She'd of course rather not fight and keep the peace instead.
She can lift heavy weights, climb up heights rather easily, and isn't worried to get a little wet and dirty.
Bio: Shireen's father, named Harin, was a sailor from Tralviland. A charming sort of fellow, it was no surprised that he woo'd girls and had fun times with them. There was one lass in particular who had caught his eye, however, one day as he had traveled to Atvance to deliver some goods. There he pursued a seamstress, eventually even marrying her, much to her parents disdain. The two ran away when she became pregnant, ready to live an adventurous life at sea. However, it wasn't meant to be. After she gave birth, Harin's wife wanted no more of the sea, or the ship, the hardships of an uncertain life. She left the baby with her father, returning to her family despite Harin's appeals to change the way they were living.
Harin was heartbroken and indulged himself in his work, neglecting the baby, leaving her to be raised by the ship crew. As such, even though she didn't have a mother or much of a father during her child years, Shireen, as she was named before her mother left, didn't really find a lack of love and fun. She was more than content with her surrogate fathers. She learned the basics of life from them, including how to work around the ship and be useful in general.
Around her sixth year was when her father finally started paying closer attention to his daughter. Harin realized that he was missing the opportunity to bond with what little family he had, and it was his fault what had happened with his former wife, not his daughter. From there onward, he started taking her on trips with him, even teaching her how to fight and use a weapon. Well, for the most part he wanted to teach her to be able to defend herself against not so nice people.
Life was good for many a years until Harin was struck by sickness. It wasn't quite shocking, to be honest. He didn't eat the healthiest foods and he tended to drink more than he should. By the time Shireen turned twenty, her father had passed away. Obviously she was sad and filled with grief, but she took it in stride, and it helped that she had others to depend on.
One thing that Shireen
did always want to do was to go to Atvance to meet her mother. It took a while before she finally made the decision to leave Tralviland and her surrogate family behind to meet her mother for the first time. She knew her mother's name of course, as well as her description and where she had lived before she met her father. A little after her twenty-third birthday, Shireen headed to her mother's house.
Unfortunately, it would turn out that her mother had passed as well, just a few months earlier. As for her grandparents, they were crotchety old folk that would rather have nothing to do with their estranged grand-daughter. Deciding it wasn't worth staying too long, the young sailor is currently staying in Atvance, for the time being working for a small fishing boat.
Other: Due to living with sailors her entire life, her vocabulary can be quite colourful.
