This is a reposting/updating of an older character.
Name: Kestrel "Sona" Azure
Age: Young, though not over 20
Race: Human
Hair Color: Deep Red, roughly cut at around mid neck level.
Eye Color: Dark Brown in the Right, Light Green on the Left.
Height: 5'6"
Weight: Light
Occupation: Musician
Interests:
Music: In nearly every shape and form from birds singing to the beat of a drum. Anything from composition to simply listening.
Technology: Generally a less indulged interest, but Sona would spend some time exploring various new marvels of the modern world, especially as they apply to her main love.
General Dislikes
Food: Most food in general doesn't tend to sit well with Sona. She tends to eat only when she knows she has to, and generally doesn't enjoy it that much.
Drink: for the same reasons as food. However, Sona is also easily effected by nearly every poison, and would probably fall to them more quickly than the average girl her size.
Silence: Silence in general, though this is easily solved.
Appearance: Sona is a pretty girl, almost striking if fairly under-fed. However, she wouldn't be able to get by on her looks alone. She has an angular face, and when not walking or running she often has her eyes closed. Curiously, she also looks very much like the locals of nearly every human-dominated place she goes to given a week or so. While not the biggest of girls, she is reasonably quick, and often wears tighter cloths than most. Her day-to-day cloths tend to vary in appearance greatly, without much rhyme or reason to them. She does, however, almost always wear a short-sleeved shirt and long tight pants. If the day is warmer or colder the cloths are known to lengthen or shorten depending on her whims. Sona seems to also have a thing for strips as well. The most obvious things she often has on her headphones. They are large and completely cover her ears, effectively blocking most sound from ever reaching her. Unbeknownst to most, music is often playing through them.
History:
Sona's early is a bit like others who had been living on Concordia with her, though it is rather apparent she had her own sort of luck. She was born originally into the Bandit Brotherhood, with both parents devout members of the group focused in the Concordia forest. She was one of the fewer kids in there at the time, and spent the first couple years of her life in the fort. Despite the natural tendency to join in the playful fighting of the other kids, it became quickly apparent that she was not as good as the other children with a sword or a dagger. At the same time however, she was also playing one of the bandits flutes with more skill than the self-proclaimed virtuoso. She spent another few years there, learning a couple tricks of the trade in terms of banditry, as well as also continuing to improve her own musical talent. It was around her fourteenth or fifteenth birthday she received her guitar from the spoils of one raid, and Tambora from another with six months of each other.
Despite the efforts of her parents, she and the other kids all knew about the Mindless threat that was the plague of Concordia forest. However, when the rally was finally called to join in the final battle against the evil beings she was not allowed to come despite her wishes. Given her lack of battle experience, she probably couldn't have even helped the bandit brotherhood at all. Quite a few of her friends that she grew up with went along with the gallant Brotherhood army, and Sona could honestly say that she never saw them again. The musician decided against staying with the Brotherhood during the time, preferring to simply run away and make a quick living and not to fight the gray-skinned beings that terrorized the rest of the forest.
She had heard word of the Bandit Brotherhoods victory some time later, as well as the death of Yari Rafanas and the groups slow break-up afterwards. There were rumors that Gild, Yari's second in command, was bringing them all under a new flag but Sona let them be. She was making her own living easily enough with the small troupe she was in. She often switched from troupe to troupe as they came around however, preferring to stay along the shorelines of Corone. She has currently made her way to the Scara Brae, and whatever work she'll be able to get there.
Noteworthy Skills
Instruments: Sona is especially well skilled in the guitar, flute and violin. She is well versed in most string instruments however, and could play most of them well enough to get dinner at most taverns. In addition, Sona has been known to pick up most instruments with an almost unheard of speed, quickly learning how to play with little trouble and making songs without much more. She also often has the minor tools needed for the upkeep of her instruments, as well as the more common ones. However, her voice leaves more than a little something to be desired.
Musical Influence: Sona’s skill in music is often taken a bit further then simple art. Her songs actively change those who listen to them, altering their mood and their disposition towards her. She is currently unaware of the effect that she can have on other people due to this.
First-Aid Nothing great, but enough to bandage a wound effectively and do some minor field repairs. She learned a few things while growing up beyond music.
Survival: Almost frighteningly passive. Sona knows when something is actively beginning to harm her, such as a bandit trying to find her, and will thusly do everything she can to survive. Despite this, she is woefully unaware of many other methods of attack, whether mental, magical or social.
Equipment: ((Nothing will be sold. Ever.))
Bag: Currently contains a second pair of sturdy shoes, several half-filled books of musical compositions and some traveling jerky of debatable age. It also currently holds her flute as well.
Clothing: Nothing exactly terribly strange, but Sona's cloths can change color, pattern and length on whim. However, if cut they must be repaired. The cloth will not grow back, but would cost fewer than 20 gold to get even a weak enchanter to fix the clothing. Taken from old Bandit Brotherhood vault.
Tambora: The name given to her headphones. They often play some sort of music that Sona can hear based on her mood, and never seem to stop playing. Made of Steel with soft leather earpieces to cushion them against her head. Also effectively block most sound from ever even reaching her. Old present from childhood.
Flute: The easiest instrument she is able to carry around without much trouble.
Guitar: An old, metal instrument that she has held onto for what feels like forever. It has seen her through many different hard times and she would never sell it. However, it also is in need of repair, though it could conceivably be used as a club in the most dire of consequences.
