Seraphima
01-24-07, 06:44 PM
Name: Seraphima
Age: Unknown, but she looks about 20 or 21
Race: Human
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: White
Height: 5'5"
Build: Slender
Occupation: Blind woman
Personality: Seraphima (Sara) is a very even-tempered sort of woman. Being blind and not having much to remember, she has been through a lot of frustration, and has learned how to take adversity with a smile. Little things do not tend to bother her, and even big things don't stand much chance of getting her angry.
Appearance: Sara is a platinum-blonde with ivory skin and a rosy mouth. Her attire consists of well-made dresses of cotton and linen, and she wears a bandana over her eyes because most people find the unseeing orbs disturbing. She carries a four-foot long oaken walking stick to make sure she doesn't fall down or trip over anything.
History: Seraphima doesn't remember anything before she was found by a kind couple a few months ago. Since then, she's learned to deal with her blindness with the help of her walking stick and her dog, Maurizio. Maurizio acts as her eyes, leading her through crowds and looking after her.
When she felt she was ready to explore the world on her own, the couple who had helped her gave her their blessing, a change of clothes, and a little gold.
Skills: Seraphima has no skills, that she can remember.
However, if attacked and the attacker gets past the dog, she might be able to jab or whack them with her walking stick, at risk of losing her balance.
Hearing: To help compensate for her blindness, Seraphima's hearing is 1.15x that of a regular human.
Smell: Seraphima has a slightly increased sense of smell, meaning she can tell a little sooner if someone nearby hasn't bathed or has used too much perfume.
Touch: Sara has developed a dependency on touch during the last few months, and her fingers are more sensative to the textures and temperatures of objects with which she comes into contact.
Taste: Sara has a slightly more refined sense of taste than the average human.
Familiar:

Sex: Male
Age: Unknown, looks about 2 years
Race: Dog (labrador retriever)
Height: 2 feet at shoulder
Weight: About 75 lbs
Eye Colour: A warm, chocolaty brown
Fur Colour: He has a thick black pelt with chestnut points.
Appearance/Personality:
He's a little large for a medium sized dog, and can almost always be found in his harness leading his owner around. He seems to have a calm demeanor about him, being trained to act as placidly as possible to not risk disturbing his blind owner's tranquility, but is extremely defensive of her and is not above biting anyone who makes a hostile move toward her.
He likes children and enjoys being petted, so long as the ivory hand keeps hold of his harness strap.
Weapons: Teeth, designed by nature to shred living flesh.
Skills: Trained seeing eye dog -- he can guide people through streets and crowds without getting them killed, and won't pull on his harness.
Abilities:
Smell: Maurizio has a sense of smell at least 20x that of a human, being a dog.
Eye Sight: He has normal eyesight for a dog, meaning he can see motion very well, stillness not too well, and shades of gray and some of blue.
Equipment:
Oak walking stick
Leather harness for dog
Change of clothes
Typical travelling needs.
A decent pair of walking boots.
And a dog grooming kit.
