Full Name: Rhaxta
Other name: Rhax
Race:: Part-elf, part-human. Though she is unaware of being part elf, for now. Her Father was a full elf and her Mother's parents were half and full elf. So, she's more elf than human- though it's hard to tell by her physical appearance save for her grace and the intensity of her cat-like slanted eyes.
Side: Neutral, though holding a grudge against the Empire.
Birthplace: One of the islands at the North West of Alagaesia, hidden from the view of the main land by the Spine. She was born here, though when she was young her birth family left to return to Du WeldenVarden.
Age: 20, her being part-elf she looks younger. The difference between her age and looks would become more evident as she grows older.
Gender: Female
Birthday: 15th June.
Eyes: Forest green, from a distance. Though if you ever got up-close-and-personal you'd see flecks of brown, slight red and gold in the green, and a darker green circling the iris.
Hair: Locks of copper hair with streaks of dark red and palest blonde. It curls around her heart shaped face and it is chopped roughly about her face to enhance the curl. A side parting and a slight, spikey fringe.
Weight: 130lbs
Height: 5''6
Magic User: Yes, that comes from her being part-elf.
Clothing: Rhax very rarely wears anything but her stiff brown ox leather bracers, her dark green breeches, made of a thick denim-like material for protection. Her high-ankle dark brown leather boots, and a thin, black sleeveless vest that clings well to her form like all her other clothes for minimal rustling and sound as she travels. Though she's been known to wear a dress now and then, never while traveling though. She tends to wear her hair down. In the cold she usually wears some form of 'fresh' fur coat of whatever furry animal is around at the time, save for wolves unless she is in absolute dire need or comes across a fresh body with no tears or blood. Otherwise she wears a long coat made of tan leather she made from one of her deer kills that happened to have an interesting pattern to it's fur.
Preferred Weapon(s): A longbow (plus arrows she makes herself), a knife and a narrow, elegant sword and - of course- fists. Unarmed preference. She found her weapons in the forests around Lake Tudosten. In the most curious manner they were wrapped up and just sitting near one of her common haunts in the forest. Almost like a gift..
Personality: A confident, mischievous young lady. Her cheekiness often gets her into trouble (not that she doesn't enjoy trouble) with her 'father'. With others she gives more respect, depending on whether they present it toward her. She is pretty flirtatious if you catch her in the right mood with the right people, and can could sexually harass someone from across the room with a look. She's always had a connection with animals, in recent years since her tutoring in magic and months of solitude, she has perfected this, as she spent much time meditating, observing all at once the lives around her
. Despite her cheekiness she is by no means unfriendly, it's just very difficult to earn her trust. Quite bold and noble, morality is her guidance, not one to 'stab some one in the back', literally or otherwise, yet she does have spikes of passion and bloodlust where she tends to lose grip on this. When she deems someone trustworthy, she is a valuable friend and just loves showing her affection, very cuddly. At times she just sit in the silence of her mind to think, sometimes because she is troubled, sometimes because she fancies savoring the sounds of the world around her. Very prone to guilt and worry over those she cares about. Would die for the few closer to her.
Likes/Dislikes: Likes traveling, she's always been fascinated with wolves since first seeing them in the woods around Lake Tudosten, and realized she was similar to them in a lot of ways. She dislikes being 'cooped-up' or stuck in one place, town or city for a long time. Caught with claustrophobia since when she was almost kidnapped when she was young, it is by no means debilitating, just annoying. If caught in one small place too long she gets very edgy. She does not like crowds.
Family: She had two adopted brothers, but they went to fight for the Empire under their parents force. They had insisted she was to go with them and marry a soldier, or even a general. With her stunning looks they were confident she could 'snag one', though she knew it was only their greed speaking. She hated it. Greed wasn't attractive to her. Her 'parents' were very pro-Galby, however she insisted on remaining neutral to the war. So, one night she pulled one of her disappearing acts and headed east, intending to return soon. She just waited for her brothers to leave and for her temper to cool.
Her real family however consists of her Elf father Achaius , part elf mother Joslyn and her older brother Ardal. She knows nothing of them, or even if they exist. She may find out someday though.
Brief History: Rhax was born on an island to the North west of the Spine. The island had few inhabitants, most of them were elven, though it was rich in a curious culture. Her family left to travel to Du WeldenVarden as a prophet told them of some grave danger prone to destroy them if they stayed. They traveled south and around the Spine-as they could not cross over- before cutting across the Hardrac desert. They traveled until they were nearing Furnrost when they were attacked by slavers. Rhaxta's mother escaped, taking the young child away from the struggle to hide her.
Soon after a woman who lived in an encampment along Lake Tudosten, near Furnost found her on her doorstep. Rhax wasn't told that she had been adopted into the family, only faulting the fact she was so different to her family to her being a black sheep. Rhax- although she didn't know it- was adopted. The woman who took her was desperate for a daughter along with her two sons. Upon her chest there was pinned a note, written in the ancient language. It took the adopting mother weeks to find a trader to translate if for her, however she had already taken in and grown attached to her.
The woman - Omnia - lived in a village near Furnrost. Rhaxta's real mother was half-elf,half-human named Joslyn, her father had been an elf named Archaius. They were travelers.
The note on Rhaxta's chest explained this, though it sent her adopted mothers husband - Bastian- into a rage. He wanted nothing to do with the elves, or magic. Even though there was no swaying his wife from keeping her as their own, he immediately disliked Rhax and never quite grew attached to her, though he began to treat her with contempt rather than hate when he discovered the natural talent and skill she had in the forge.
As far back as she can actually remember she was a worker, and a hard one. She was unusually strong for a human, the only outward display of her elf heritage save for the depth of her gaze, which made her useful.
Her adopted Father was a blacksmith and carpenter so she soon learned how to make and use tools, she took a special interest in weapons though. Her 'father' was very wealthy as many of the Empire armies used Furnost as a temporary bunker as they passed through. He fixed saddles, weapons and anything else. Her mother helped run a tavern, Rhaxta's first job was a 'barwench', as her father called it..
At 17, as her mother and father had pressured her brothers into leaving to join the armies of Galbatorix, in Dras-leona.
Rhax wasn't impressed by the idea of the city and despite her father, her brothers treated her well and loved her like a sister. After an..unfortunate evening, there was a huge arguement between her and her father. Punches were thrown, and Rhax left and headed East. Though she did feel a strong guilt for leaving her mother, she did care for her, and she taught her how to deal with her father, and because she ran the 'bar', men and difficult people in general.
She met many people but never stuck around for long in one place. Since she was a loner she had to defend herself from kidnappers, thieves and the like. Mostly traveling trough woodlands (save for traveling across the Hadrac) her tracking skills developed further, now a skilled hunter, tracker and fighter. Far from an ace of the trades though, yet with her increasing skill in magic she has fine tuned her skills.
She was never told of her elf nature.
Anything extra: She's very talented and powerful when it comes to magic. She spent a lot of time meditating yet never had that much training for it - her mind works differently. She fiddles with the smallest detail to get results, which means she can conserve her energy for longer, she also uses her mind more than words, having her tutorage of the ancient language cut off. She doesn't realise the danger, she uses thoughts and emotion and pure focus to make magic work to her will. She is beginning to sing under her breath when making long and complicated spells, as it feels natural to her.
She doesn't know she's part-elf, yet plainly displays some characteristics if you know what to look for. Not sure if her real parents are alive or not, might be an idea for another character later on. Bwahaha!
She also still carries some knowledge of the language from the island, and some curious traits that she picked up from there that were common courtesy. Also, if another was allowed complete entrance to her mind, there will always be a small blip that they cannot see, as it is wrapped within a barrier of shadow that Rhaxta is unaware of. Only the most accomplished spellweavers would be able to discover that this is the magic of another. A small seed planted in her mind by the Shade Rash'agal, waiting for a particular circumstance to release the knowledge for her use.
The only evidence of her being part-elf is her large, slightly slanted eyes and her different, innocent but enchanting looks. Her body, like an elfs is mainly hairless, although that wasn't so obvious since she didn't tend to walk around nude. She gained more muscle than elves, and had a womanly curve.
