Name: Sybil Mzant
Age: 22
Appearance:
Sybil is a silent little mouse, standing at a whopping 5'6"; she's the perfect size for sneaking around under focused eyes inauspiciously. She learns quickly, without much marks, that it is better to be unheard, as well as unseen. Her light brown hair waterfalls just above her hips and just as soft as the dyed ribbons she stretches across her little lap when she embroiders young Felicity's dresses the tailor designs for her. Her eyes are the unmistakable shade of melted gold and her skin is as pure as porcelain. It is quite clear that her early upbringing was within a fine household with a strong family heritage, but she's forgotten most of her family history except for what her father had drilled into her mind. She's a Mzant – lions hold her surname with pride.
Status/Job: Immigrant Slave from Indrani – Handmaid to Duchess Vivian & Lady Felicity Vaughan
Personality:
History:
Her family are immigrants from Indrani. When they came to Areriseth, her father held a respectable job as an instructor at a nearby university and later took on tutoring positions for a few nobles within the kingdom. Her mother was an outstanding artist, and even though the era of women artist had not reached status yet, she still made a good living being called in for several aristocratic portraits. She was also an outstanding chef - taking second position under the noblest house within the kingdom at the time.
But when law and duty dropped rock bottom due to the black trades and power turning freedom into a four-letter word, the nobles began to slowly meet their ends. Everyone, including her family, were shipped off to the dark, hidden world that's been marinating under Stratha's noses for years.
Sybil grew up in the Black Trades, but being young, she was taught early to listen sharply, quietly, and do as she's told right the first time, even if it's something she knows is not proper or lawful. Regardless of what she's been taught; cutting her teeth on the death of her parents and friends, losing more than just a finger (ring finger on left hand) and her innocence, she now realized that silence kills your soul faster than speaking out while under the master's thumb.
Other:
Besides cooking, cleaning, sewing, and other homely skills she uses under the Vaughan household, she holds a few secret talents as well. A well-to-do pickpocket she is, has the voice of a dove; and soft hands, strong arms and eyes sharp enough to shoot a bow on horseback to pin-point like a master. She's picked up a bit of soothsaying from a few Gypsy slaves she's traveled with in her time (who also taught her how to steal so swiftly), and they also taught her a little about woodlore and natural healing.
Olvr (34) & Phoebri Proske (27) – Olvr is a retired knight from Vertimont. He and his wife, Phoebri, live under the flags of Areriseth. They own both
The Griff's Talon Inn and The Drunkin' Hippogriff - both in Tabbai
. Olvr Proske, manages the pub. Phoebri manages the Inn. Phoebri is also a fine tailor and often aids the local tailor in managing his workload for the towns and providences he caters to.
Faust – a 19 year old street urchin, unknown and not considered, until he makes himself a concern. If anyone wants to know anything about something no one wants anyone to know; Faust is the only person who can find out. Some say he's got Fae blood in him, (if you believe in all that) which explains why he's such a card, a trickster, and can easily learn of things others hide within their heartfires. Others believe he's some sort of psychic, illusionist, or hypnotist. He learns far too much about others– far too easily… Honestly, he's just a young master of deduction, using his mind and all the available facts to arrive at the correct solution to a problem, a solution to a strict puzzle, or a hidden mystery long forgotten.
He holds no friendships, for they are easily discarded when they don't suit a person's best interest anymore. No, he only holds respect for those who have shown him the same, and has a small portion of his heart held for the few he considers 'family'. But that's also a word he holds no claim to, for it's easily discard as well.
Appearance: Dirty blond hair, strikingly bright green eyes – somewhat of an anomaly, if you ask me. Tall and lanky, but muscular in proportion. He's a bit malnourished, but is able to maintain his strength and health due to his knowledge of edible, healthy roots and flowers, and hard labor working the streets for merchants or wealthy newcomers entering town who need a guide.
Personality: Quiet and behaves shyly, but that's just a trick to gain favor or pity from those with soft hearts. His true light shines later on when he preys on their souls, feeds from their minds, and claim access to secrets they never expected anyone to learn from their silence. He has a very acute sense of being, and can easily read a person even when they're hiding their covers. He's a sly little creature with a heart of gold (when it's worth using). Loyal to only a few who deserve it, Faust will still turn on a dime to protect himself, if must; yet, still manage to keep his word to the ones he respects.
