LADY KAYA OF MIRKWOOD
[/center]
THE BASICS:Name: Kaya Eletaur
Age: 624
Gender: Female
Race: Elven
Birthplace: Mirkwood
Current Location: Traveler
Weapon(s): Aduial (sword whose name means ‘star-opening’). On the hilt, wrapping around to the blade, “uial dolen tar i' goliath” is engraved (meaning “twilight lies hidden beyond the stars.”); an elven bow made of the finest and strongest materials.
APPEARANCES:Facial Appearance: There is just something about this elf that seems distant. A hard exterior masking a fragile heart, yet somehow yielding a warrior every step of the way. With eyes of an earthy brown, and tousled matching curls, she is a sight to behold, if only for the moment before her arrow pierces your heart.
Build: Kaya's slender figure never seems to fail in catching the eyes of men, even when she doesn’t try. Sure, it’s a compliment, but she is far from the lady to be taken to bed over a simple glance.
Although she is exceptionally strong and fast, her muscles and physique remain very feminine. This isn’t to say she isn’t toned or defined, but there isn’t much evidence to suggest she could defend herself. The only way an outsider would know of her skills would be to wield a sword against her themselves. Her elegance and grace are perhaps her most dangerous features for they present a false image of the woman she truly is.
Distinguishing Marks: About midway down her thigh, there is a 3 inch scar from where she misjudged an oncoming attack in her youth.
Face Claim: Natalie Portman
A LITTLE MORE IN-DEPTH:Personality: Kaya’s eyes seem dark enough to encompass all the world’s turmoil. Yet somehow, the elegance that surrounds her is nothing but pure. The stealth behind each graceful movement is both silent and dangerous, yet the serenity that rolls off her skin conflicts a calming reaction: one that compliments her free-spirited personality with ease.
History: In the ethereal land of Mirkwood, Kaya’s birth was of special consequence. The renders of her conception were thought to be of valued significance as she came from highly respected bloodlines – both of which had produced near perfect warriors. It was no surprise when Kaya felt the calling in her blood at the mere age of eight.
Growing up, most of the other kin her age would spend their time playing silly games in the forest, or helping their mothers tend to the house. While Kaya did all that from time to time, her main focus was on learning to wield a weapon. For the majority of her childhood, her father was away fighting the wars of Middle Earth, so she grew close to her mother who didn’t approve of the path her daughter seemed to be taking. This led to presenting a more sheltered existence where Kaya learned the ins and outs of being a lady - you know, proper etiquette and the like. And while it wasn’t exactly what she would prefer to be doing, she tried to enjoy it nevertheless. There was something to be said about a woman, especially an elf, that presented herself with elegance. It commanded respect, and that’s what Kaya wanted.
So, she pretty much gave up her dream of learning to be a warrior and focused on being an up-coming Lady of Mirkwood. Around the age of 34, Kaya's father returned home from a series of wars that had thankfully left him alive. Mirkwood’s involvement was not at the time necessary so he took this time to return home to his wife and daughter. However, even during his time off, he would train every day for hours on end. And within a week of him being home, it was like a spark had rekindled inside the young elf. Her first passion of learning to fight had been ignited.
Of course, her mother still disapproved, but her father promised he would take care of her and she would be safe. So for the next few months, Kaya began to develop some quite satisfactory combat skills – using a bow and arrow (which seemed to come naturally), wielding a sword (even though half the time it was too heavy for her), and manipulating daggers (they seemed easy enough). In under three years’ time, she had begun to fight better than many of the young men preparing for war. It was during this time that her father was once more called to fight; however this time, his arrival home was not as merry.
He had taken ill by a poisoned blade and could not be healed. As a last request, he had made Kaya promise to first and foremost, take care of her mother, and second, continue to train to fight…just as he had taught her. She agreed and as he moved on to another world, she held him in her lap. Her tears of promise slid down to his soulless body as she and her mother buried him. It was in that moment, that she felt a hatred like none other. A feeling of desiring complete revenge. To see the enemy writhe in pain and beg for mercy. She vowed from that day on that, if ever given the chance, she would make her enemies suffer beyond comparison to the mere strike of a metal blade.
And so she trained. Hard and willfully until every skill known seemed to be mastered. Her elegance and grace helped aid in her profile…making men and women alike falsely judge her by her appearance. This, of course, seemed to be working out for Kaya as it gave her an upper hand. And, as the rumors of a darkness stirring in East reached her ears, she was the first to sign up. But, as she was a woman, she was not permitted to join. So, being the stubborn elf she was, decided to become a solitary traveler of Middle Earth, seeking out evil in hopes of destroying it once and for all.
Roleplay Sample:The grey clouds that hung in the sky threatened a beautiful summer night with rain. A warm, humid breeze swept through the air, only verifying the apparent weather. It would storm tonight, but as Kyleigh made her way towards town, she hoped it would do so after she was sheltered. But she shrugged it off knowing she held no power of when it would rain. Instead, she took an interest in the area she was currently walking. The outskirts of town were desolate and vacant, a seemingly dangerous place for anyone to be wandering by themselves. But Ky didn’t mind. Fear was absent from her demeanor, in all ways. Those who knew of her knew that the true danger lay hidden within this beautiful woman. A masked seduction and Nature’s true predator…that was Kyleigh.
Inhaling deeply, the scent of rain filled her lungs and a small smile fell on her lips as she quickened her pace towards town. She wasn’t far off, but she knew she needed to hurry anyways. It was already nearly midnight and most people were already highly intoxicated, roaming the streets looking for something to cure their inevitable boredom of drinking. She smirked slyly as she turned the final corner of the alleyway that led towards town. Already she could smell the alcohol and sex and a shiver passed anxiously up her spine. Her muscles tightened for a moment as she emerged from the dark alley to see the chaotic city of St. Louis lit up. Bar signs sparkled their specials, while clubs flashed their lights. She could already hear the definite bass beat of her destination for the night: Guilty Pleasures. It was her haven...and it was calling.
As Ky approached the bouncer, he faltered for a moment in his job. She felt his eyes gaze longingly down her body, and a dangerous smile grew on her lips. He wanted her in every way possible, and Ky knew it. Her eyes flashed a shade darker as he let her through VIP, thanking him in a soft, innocent voice that conflicted completely with her stature and outfit. Tonight she was wearing her usual: a clingy black tank top, with matching black leather pants. Holding the pants comfortably at the hip lay a black studded belt with a strange looking belt buckle. Onyx boots cover her feet and hide her daggers, while a black unblessed cross hangs cozily from her neck. To complete the look, her eyes were outlined in black, making them appear thieving and seductive.
Upon entering, she immediately felt the sexual energy of the club and she inhaled deeply, her body tingling in ecstasy. Right away, she could feel the lust-driven eyes of men lingering on her slender body. Letting a sinister smile remain on her lips, she slowly made her way towards the bar. She had a special way of drinking; a nice shot of liquor to get her blood burning a bit, and then keep it steady with some delicious cocktails. “A shot of Skyy 90 and a Sex on the Beach, please.” She ordered, flashing the bartender a flirtatious smile. He returned the smile and near immediately delivered what she had ordered, informing her that this round was on the house.Perfect…she thought as she took the shot of top shelf vodka, savoring the delicious flavor. Setting the empty shot glass down on the bar, Ky’s eyes lifted towards her surroundings. The dim red flood lights encompassed the club, heightening the sexual tension in every way possible. Only adding to the Ardeur, the dancers on stage stood locked in cages, dancing seductively against the bars. Tingles once more chased up Ky’s spine as she watched them, longing to be up there with them…feeding off the sinful energy of the crowd. Already, she was beginning to feel her body growing warm, and she smirked. Tonight seemed promising.
