[hider=Aignéis][b]Name:[/b] Aignéis
[b]True Name:[/b] Zelphyr-Blessèd
[b]Race:[/b] Elf
[b]Court:[/b] Seelie
[b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://anndr.deviantart.com/art/Opalus-335221301]Aignéis[/url] has the traditional fair skin and slender build of the Highborn Alfar. This includes slightly pointed ears, long, thin fingers, and a certain unnatural sheen in her eyes. They are almost catlike in the way they reflect the light, and when they can properly be seen they are a dark, deep purple, rimmed with a pale silver. Aignéis considers them among her best features and is often known to colour around them with dark kohl to draw attention to the colour and shape, which is ideal and desired among humans but commonplace among highborn elves. Coupled with the dark blue/black colour of her hair she is naturally contrasted between the lighter and darker cooler colours.

Much about her is sharp and fine, from the shape of her chin and the shape of her nose to the distinct appearance of her cheekbones. She has long arms and legs, and finely toned muscles which are strongest around her stomach and thighs. Aignéis has the same level of strength and agility as all of the other high borns, though she keeps the muscles in her arms well defined in case she ever needs to menace the customers who are menacing her girls. Unlike some of the girls she spends her time with she does not have an overtly feminine figure, despite having rounded hips, as her breasts are small and she does not display them in the manner that other prostitutes tend to do.

She keeps her hair long and is fond of keeping it in thin braids so that she can pin it out of the way but still display it as a mark of her femininity. Often there are also wooden beads tied in with the braids to give them colour. As she is from the Seelie court originally, also called the Summer Court, Aignéis is fond of using bright, summery colours such as reds and oranges and golds. She also dresses in them, preferring to use a lot of thin, flowing fabrics when she is working that hold tightly to her torso but are loose around her arms and legs, often showing more skin than hiding it. When she is not working she wears loose fitting wraparound pants in the darker shades of the summer colours and a short, tight fitting shirt that shows her midriff.

She has a tattoo over her right shoulder and around the upper half of her right arm. It is a floral design, largely based around the calla lily ([i]I'm thinking that the significant for this is because it has something to do with her family crest, as she is high born[/i]). Aignéis also has a tattoo on the inside of her left thigh featuring a sun design, and a tattoo of thorns surrounding her left ankle. She had each tattoo done to mark significant changes in her life. 

[b]Background:[/b] Aignéis was born into a family as the elder of two daughters, her parents had a certain expectation of what their lives should have been, as highborn elves. As she grew older Aignéis began to realise that what she had been told and what the world really was were completely different things. She became estranged from her family and found work in a brothel, swiftly working her way up through the organisation until she became one of the higher ranked managers, answering directly to the owner. Part of her increased responsibility includes nurturing girls who are new to the life and making sure that they are paired with appropriate customers.

Despite her status in the prostitute community and her realistic perception of the world around her, Aignéis is bitter and angry about her situation. She is good at hiding how she really feels, especially in front of customers who would not like to see how much she really hates them. This is not the case with all of her customers, however, as some of them like to see her hatred as she works.

[b]Possessions:[/b] Aignéis has very few possessions because she took very little from her family home when she left them. She has her clothes, obtained with money she earned herself, and a wooden backed hair brush as well as the cord she uses to tie her hair and the painted wooden beads she uses for decoration. She does own a pair of daggers that she keeps near her person at all times for self defense as some customers have been known to act a little loose and free with their hands when they are not entitled to. She also has a small hand mirror, which was a gift from a particularly affluent customer who was fond of her. The mirror bears a crack along the top edge from a time in which she dropped it.

[b]Talents:[/b] Aignéis is quite flexible and she uses this often in her work, though it does come in handy when she is required to defend herself. She is well practised with her knives, and can use them as both weapons and tools. She is also particularly adept when it comes to languages and can speak three fluently and an additional two poorly. ([i]Not sure about what languages they should be?[/i]) Aignéis does not pride herself on her communication skills, though working in a brothel for so long has given her a good sense of what people want to hear and she is an excellent liar when the need arises.

[b]Glamer:[/b] Despite her high born blood, Aignéis is fairly poor at direct telepathy to other elves. Her ability to communicate with them relies heavily on their power, rather than hers. The strength of her glamer is located in her empathy, and she is particularly adept at stirring emotions in others. What she brings out in them is rarely true emotion, and rather an imitation of the emotion that she has attempted to create. As a result the person she has worked her glamer on is able to discern the difference between the false emotions and their real ones. As she uses this mostly in her work the recipient does not complain, although it does come in handy in regards to self defense because she is able to distract her opponent momentarily and gain the upper hand.[/hider]
