Name: Sifora Tomar
Age and Sex: 24, Female
Race and Region: Human, Desert
Title: Emira (Princess) of the Gobazi Wastes, eldest daughter and heir of the Sultan Jassard IV.
Physical Description:
Ceremonial Dress:
Sifora is a tall, slender woman with athletic curves. She has olive skin, full rose lips, and large silvery blue eyes. Her waist-long hair is a chestnut color, however ceremony dictates that she must color her hair the same as her eyes (the dye washes out) as well as paint her lips, draw upon her skin, and adorn her body with beads of the same hue.
As do most of the women of the Gobazi, Sifora wears dresses of sheer silks and leathers during the day and heavy cloaks and robes of velvets at night.
Bio:
Raised in the Holy City of Agmar in the heart of the Gobazi Wastes, Sifora knows very little of that beyond the shifting sands of her kingdom... for very few people travel to the extreme lands that don't have to. The only daughter of the Sultan, she is a pet of sorts... one that has cost many people their lives. The Bloody Sultan, as he as come to be known, does not hesitate to behead anyone who may cause insult to the desert flower.
She was trained to be a proper Sultana; bows, swords, riding, fighting... all of it required... yet, until she becomes a rider (hopefully at this Dragon Moon), it is all for naught. Without a dragon, Sifora cannot take the throne from her ailing father, a fact that the Sheiks are not afraid to remind her of.
Region Info:
The Gobazi Wastes are ruled by a royal family, however, some would argue that it is the nomadic Sheiks that truly rule the land. The Gobazi are tent people, living in the unlivable by moving from oasis to oasis. There is only one true city in the desert (The Holy City of Agmar) which is built around a giant spring in the middle of the sands. Each sandstone building has it's own access to the crystalline waters and the palace even has an atrium featuring the exotic water lilies and other oasis plants that grow only within the springs of the desert.
The Royal Family and the Sheiks of the Desert traditionally color their hair the same color as their eyes using a thick paste-dye made from crushing various flowers. They will match their adornments and paint their family's crest upon their body in the same nature.
The Gobazi are known to be hot-tempered and as unpredictable as the shifting sands, which may be why their history is riddled with wars amongst the Sheiks. However, there is a softer side to these desert people; their religion. There is only The Creator, a single god who has not been present in the world since he created it. The Holy City was built to honor the god's creations and to thank him for the water in which he deemed to leave for their thirst in the sands. From there, each desert tribe believes something a little different... some even believing that the abomination, the Elves, chased away The Creator with there arrival to his perfect world, thus breeding elf hate withing the kingdom.
