True happiness.[/indent] [color=#8A2D28]Personality Summary:[/color] [indent]Upon first meeting Saiya you can tell she was raised as a high born noble, speaking only when it’s appropriate and in an eloquent manner. She is quiet, but not for lack of confidence. She has learned that sometimes it’s best to keep your mouth shut and just listen to others speak as words can reveal a lot about a person. When she does speak, her voice is very soft and melodic with a calming quality to it. It makes it rather easy for others to trust her and makes it incredibly difficult to decipher when she’s lying. She is incredibly guarded and doesn’t trust other easily, knowing how easily trust and knowledge can be used against a person. Underneath it all is a woman who longs for freedom and adventure. A woman who doesn’t want to worry about what she says or how she says it. Someone who isn’t bound by rules and etiquette, who doesn’t have to answer to anyone but herself. She wishes she could speak her mind and not have to worry if doing so could cause her to lose her head.[/indent] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/7CUUc5I.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ij4XEcu.png[/img][/center] [color=#8A2D28]Current occupation:[/color] [indent]Servant to the Kadir family[/indent] [color=#8A2D28]Any past occupations?:[/color] [indent]Was a noble lady, then a servant to Sultana Esrin[/indent] [color=#8A2D28]Relatives:[/color] [indent]Rajesh Ansari - Father - Deceased Shanti Ansari - Mother- Deceased Suresh Ansari - Eldest Brother - Alive Raju Ansari - Second Eldest Brother - Alive Ravi Ansari - Third Eldest Brother - Alive Kamal Ansari - Younger Brother - Alive Arjun Ansari - Second Youngest Brother - Alive Mahesh Ansari - Youngest Brother - Alive[/indent] [color=#8A2D28]Skills:[/color] [indent][list] [color=#100A33]❀[/color] Cooking [color=#100A33]❀[/color] Dancing [color=#100A33]❀[/color] Singing [color=#100A33]❀[/color] Disappearing into the shadows [color=#100A33]❀[/color] Stealth [color=#100A33]❀[/color] Self defense, especially with a dagger[/list][/indent] [color=#8A2D28]History Summary:[/color] [indent]Born into the House Ansari, Saiya was raised as a noble within the city of Kisoma in the jungles of Alidasht. One of seven children and the only girl, Saiya was expected to be the perfect daughter. To her parents, specifically her father, that meant being seen and not heard, learning all the proper etiquette, she was always to look pristine, and just be an airheaded woman that her father believed all women to be. The only problem was she had three older brothers and eventually would have three younger brothers. Not understanding why she couldn’t do the same things her brothers did, she constantly tried to follow them around and join in their games. Her mother would often catch her outside covered in mud and dirt then would try to quickly clean her up before her father saw. Saiya's father, she found out quickly, had quite the temper and didn't always lash out with only words. Oftentimes she found herself at the mercy of his fist. On many occasions she was left bruised and was locked up within the house until it healed. Once, he'd become so infuriated with her he threw a vase. She'd attempted to shield herself with her arms, only to have the vase shatter over them and leave quite a few scars on her arms where it sliced open her flesh. Life was much easier when her father was away. It was only then that Saiya could really be herself. Her brothers adored her and often would train her to fight and use a weapon when their father wasn't around, ensuring that she would always know how to defend herself once she got out from under their father's thumb. She found a love of daggers with the khanjar being her favorite, but this was because daggers were used to defend oneself and that would be the only time she would show violence. Her favorite time as a child was when they would all travel to Genasea for court meetings. Her mother was dear friends with Sultana Esrin as they grew up together in Kisoma. Because of this friendship, Saiya and her brothers were allowed to play with the Sultan’s children and Saiya was actually allowed to truly have fun. When Saiya was 14 years of age everything changed. Her father was caught embezzling money and plotting to overthrow him. As punishment, he was stripped of his title and executed, his family was removed from their home, and before they knew it they had nothing. Disgraced, they struggled to find work and make any sort of living. Her mother fell ill and, with one last effort to protect her children, reached out to her dear friend, Sultana Esrin. She begged the woman to show mercy on her children and find them a place in this world. The kind hearted Esrin could not deny her dying friend this, so she took them in. Saiya’s brothers became guards while Saiya became a servant to Esrin herself. Treated far better than most servants, she became like another daughter to Esrin and for once Saiya actually felt like someone really cared for her. When Esrin died it broke Saiya’s heart, feeling as if she lost another parent after losing her father and mother. The Sultan was kind, keeping Saiya on as a servant, but once again she was ignored and moved to the shadows. The only one who showed her attention was the Grand Vizier who saw a talent in her he could use. She soon became a favored servant of his, some even arguing she became more like an adopted daughter to him as he treated her much better than any other servant. At the end of the day, however, she was still just a servant.[/indent][/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/tWSNTlt.png[/img][/center][/hider] [hider=Questionnaire][center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/cMZTd7w.png[/img][/center] Did you grow up nurtured or neglected?
