Name: Kaite Marie, now known as Xafina Nareen for her act
Age: 20
Gender: female
Appearance:
Xafina has pale faded red eyes that are almost uncomfortable to look at. With long curly white hair to her waist and matching pale skin shes mostly compared to be an elf like woman. Standing in at around 5,7 shes on the taller side with a lean build and small shoulders. A dainty thing at first glance only to find that she had to have worked out some how. Though her collar bone shows a fairly large scar because of a riding accident when she fell, and that if taken the wrong way someone could compare her to a lab rat, most say she actually has a beauty about her that she herself will never really know.
Personality: Xafina is at first seen to be a vary soft spoken and carefully poetic person at first glance. A shy thing that would never be the first to approach to most that see her she keeps to herself with a constant far away and clouded gaze.
Yet those who see her in her element will say otherwise. A challenging woman who will demand the upmost respect and will return it when she sees fit. When she has the support of one of her companions at her back she gains a boost of confidence so different that some think its inhuman to see such a change in her. Voicing her opinion to the point that she can even be called rude at times. Yet the moment she realizes shes in the wrong she will revert back to her timid soft spoken self and seek the company of those who do not speak her language after apologizing relentlessly.
History: Kaite was pretty much born blind, caused by the deterioration of her retinas when colour had not been fully produced due to being albino. When faced with this challenge her parents done everything they could to make sure that their youngest child would be able to have a normal life. Introducing her to music that she found she could not play but enjoyed, and reading her stories that she can not read, yet found she could picture in her own way. When she was six however was when things began to change. Her aunt moving back to the country from competing in jumping was armed with four stallions, Kaite had become infatuated with the creatures. Massive beasts with power like non she had ever felt. Once her parents found her missing only to find her between the hooves of a percuron stallion that stood at 17 hands. Saying she could have been killed her aunt countered with saying she had a gift that was unlike the normal rider and so she began to teach her niece how to ride.
It did not take long for the Marie family to find that their tiny albino of a daughter had a connection with the animals. Found carefully feeling her way through the barn she would only speed up when a horse nicked. When she would walk amoung humans armed with a cane she would take slow shuffled steps, yet on the back of a equine one could see her going full speed down the arena as though she were possessed by the spirits of hunters. Because of this it was beyond difficult to find friends. She didn't want them, why would you want to become friends with people who constantly put you down because you had weird hair and eyes, or would leave you behind to go and play when you had the power of a stallion waiting egarly at your beck and call back home?
And so Kaite began to live and breath the life of the horse woman. Learning everything she could she took to competing in dressage and even trick riding. Something her parents are beyond against when seeing their "frail" blind child stand tall on the back of a horse or let her body fall, grazing the ground next to the thundering hooves of 40mph. And so to keep up with the demands of wanting to compete for herself instead of her aunt she bought two freisian stallions. Realizing that their appearance complemented hers and gave her the prefect chance to entrance a judge when in the ring. Those two creatures named Loki and Mischief became her true friends. The ones to know all her secrets, the ones who caused her pain, but were the ones to apologize.
They all look like this. If they are not 100% black they are not legally the breed
Though shes done this without realizing she put her family on hold, loosing contact with them for years as she took to the arenas and soaking in the attention that someone like her would have never gotten had it not been for her aunt. Even changing her name to Xafine Nareen to fit her appearance more. Living in the Marie home yet it seemed as though her and her parents were strangers to each other But even so she was forced to go to collage even after wanting to go to the Olympics one day so that she dose not loose sight of whats actually important. Though she keeps her horse life and normal school as far as she can so she can avoid distractions her family began to find that she dose not put even a fraction of efforts to her studies as she dose to her horses.
Armed with disability and her winnings from shows and competition she found she has been able to fuel her obsession, her life style kept from class mates she's been seen at the back of the room. Though once when she was in class she dropped her pencil, feeling across the floor her fingers grasped a smooth texture with distinct holes forming a pattern that was not quit Braille, asking what it was someone told her it was a die yet no one claimed it.
Specializations: high: Perception Due to loosing her sight Xafina is beyond attuned to her surroundings using sound, touch and smell. Shes been known to be able to tell if someone is lying based on their speech patterns and has been known to guess people and horses appearance such as weight, gender and sometimes uses it in the show arena to find if an animal is injured or coming up lame. Her cane is all she needs to find her way around the world, and shes been able to work even without it when in the arena.
average: Agility, working with horses has caused her to be light on her feet. Though she has almost no hand eye coordination, for someone without her sense of sight she is top notch. Able to use the sounds around her she has dodged her fair share of gym equipment or ducked out of the way from a spooked horse.
low: calmness Due to her soft spoken nature and working with such large animals her entire life, Xafina has found her way out of bullying, and hardships just from the air around her alone. Even with her inability to approach someone on her own, shes found others have come to seek her help when in hard times, stating that her voice and even appearance is a soft and welcome sight that often calms the mind. This is sometimes disbanded though when she is at work with someone or something stubborn and shes at a show.
Imperfections: high: strength Even though shes been seen thrown from the back of a horse and gotten up just fine, or able to hold onto one when it spooked. The girl can not throw a punch, shes found endurance and strength to be two different things, only able to lift sixty pounds on a really good day and not for long she would be at the losing end if someone thought it was a good idea to beat up a cripple.
average: Perfectionist She can't stand the thought of loosing. Her entire life was made around one thing and when her name is not called in the arena she sometimes finds herself breaking down. The same can be seen for school, or even something as simply as not living up to someone expectations such as when someone thought she would be some ethereal presences of fantasy when in reality she was a timid horse woman. Shes never handled defeat well.
low: independence The disability that allowed her to be so good at what she dose is also one of her greatest downfalls. She can't read anything unless its in Braille, she can't tell if someone is making a strange face at her and can only notice the tone through sound and feeling. There are many times were she can not go out because she needs a guide. When shes introduced to a new place someone has to be with her multiple times in order for her to get a feel for it, and if something is wrong for her she will not know till someone points it out such as messy hair, something on her cloths or even a injury such as a bruise or even bleeding when she thought she just scraped herself. Even then she still tries to be independent.
Other: she is a major nerd for fantasy. One of her dreams is to become apart of a ren fair equine team and be known as a snow elf. You can tell her what things like LoTR looks like for hours and she will still never get board of it and will often go listen to the movies by herself if she has to.
@Three and there we go, had to go to school so sorry she took so long
No worries! It is fine, and consider this blanket permission to mod my character a little if I've already given approval (as I kinda did this time, when Kim took Niel's hand).
I'll edit proper context into the posts and look at the character app tomorrow. Need to sign off for the night, but wanted to at least leave you lot with something to reply to.
I'm legitimately sorry to say this, especially since you've put effort into the character, but I'll have to deny it on the basis of the errors in English mechanics in the CS. I don't mean to be rude, but I can't accept someone in good faith while knowing that.
I feel like Niel's and Kim's interactions are devolving have devolved into a mini 1x1. Do you want to try a collab post instead? Sorry, I'm still kinda new to RPing and have just recently found out what collab posts were, but this seems like the kind of situation they were made for. Or we could keep doing normal posts if you think things are fine as they stand.
Nah that's fine, honestly the only reason I haven't been posting faster is because I wanted to give others a chance to post so that we didn't get too far along and so it didn't turn into a 1x1. I'm good for collabing, either via realtime writing doc like titanpad or PM.
Cool, thanks! I've never used Titanpad before (I feel like a newbie at everything) but I'd be open to that if you prefer it. Or you could PM me with Niel's response and we can go from there.
