Name: Jiala Arisa
Age: 19
Race: Human
Hair Color: Platinum Blonde
Eye Color: Green
Height: 5'2
Weight: 115 lbs
Occupation: tavern cook
Personality:
Jiala is loud, short-fused, and easily and obviously offended. She speaks her mind, and she makes very sure that everyone in the room (and the surrounding rooms) knows exactly what she's thinking -- especially when she's got a bone to pick with someone who's pissed her off. She's prone to breaking and burning things, largely by accident (sometimes on purpose) and has no respect for other people's property. She finds amusement in bothering people and in being generally obnoxious, either by chucking pebbles at random people in the street or by leading people on and lying to them. Generally, Jiala keeps people at a distance, and never lets anyone get close enough to see that it's all just an armored facade.
Appearance:
Jiala is rather sensitive about her small height, which she makes up for by keeping her white hair cropped messily above her shoulders and wearing clothing that exposes her midriff (lusty men are easy to take advantage of). Jiala has a rather childish face for her age -- one that is prone to scowls and scoffs that just come off as amusing.
History:
Baby Jiala was found abandoned in a heap of trash by Silin Arisa, a fur trader, who gave her her name. Her parents -- and whether they are alive or dead -- remain unknown.
Silin claimed, both to Jiala and to anyone who cared, that Jiala was his bastard daughter, and that the mother had died and the child was sent to him. Silin, however, only did the least possible to keep the child alive until she could fend for herself, while telling her that she had killed her mother in childbirth -- that it was all her fault, that she was monstrous and had some weird blood in her for her strange-colored hair. He threatened to lock her up forever if she didn't do as she was told. This was how he controlled her and used her as a personal housekeeper with few complaints.
Jiala was teased and picked on by other children her age because of her hair and her quiet demeanor. Finally, she snapped and began fighting back, and found, while twisting a little boy's arm, that she took pleasure in others' pain. She didn't hold back, she broke bones and smashed faces and strung together impressive chains of obscenities until no one would touch her. Silin never said anything about her bullying, didn't care, so she was free to do as she wished.
And then, during a shouting match with Silin over a broken door (Jiala had simply slammed it on her way out, no way it was her fault), the trader let slip that he wasn't her real father. After a bit more encouragement, the story of Jiala's "adoption" was spilled. Confused and pissed, Jiala left Silin unconscious on the floor, took her things, and simply left. She owed him nothing but hatred.
Skills:
Cooking: Jiala became a rather good cook while buying and preparing her own meals since she could walk -- and she's rather proud of it, too.
Brawling: From all those bloody noses and broken arms caused to anyone who would dare make fun of her hair, her height, or piss her off in general. Physical punishment of unfortunate idiots was her stress relief.
Equipment:
A wolf tooth necklace: Stolen from a pirate she'd found passed out, drunken and beaten to a pulp in the street at night. She just likes to show it off and brag that she stole something from a pirate.
An assortment of cooking supplies: Including a small pot, a spit, various utensils and dried herbs. These are among her most prized possessions, and the only things she took from Silin's house when she left.
