Circe and Acernus

Name: Circe Avanda

Age: 28 years

Gender: female

Race: Human (Tris'Hathian - Lanuthan)

Height: 5'6"

Personality: Prickly, closed off, sensitive. Circe considers herself to be empathic (though she lacks any magical talents). She is highly affected by the moods of those around her. She is also easily embarrassed in social settings. As such, she’s taken to being reclusive and closed off to avoid bringing attention to herself. On the inside, all she really wants in life is someone who understands her.

Description: Average height, rail thin, bronze skin, black hair, brown eyes. Circe does not strike an impressive figure on her own, but her selection of black clothing and accessories made of the bones of small animals does leave an impact. Her hair is flat and rather lifeless, but she keeps it cut to a razor’s edge around her jawline. She paints her nails black and never ventures out without her equally black lipstick and eyeliner. She has pierced almost every inch of her face that could be pierced.

Biography:

Circe grew up as the middle child of a middle class family in Terglinear. She never really suffered for food or clothing, but with five older siblings and four younger ones, she did lack for attention. Much as her parents tried to be attentive to all of their children, they were more interested in maintaining the image of a happy family rather than being one.

As a teenager, Circe spent much of her time babysitting her younger siblings. On the few occasions where she did manage to get out of the house, she immediately dove head first into whatever bad crowd happened to be nearest in an effort to make friends. As a result, her parents restricted her movements until she scarcely saw the light of day without one of her family members around.

As soon as Circe was old enough to stand on her own, she packed a bag and moved out across the city. She spent many years hopping from one bad situation to another, before finally realizing that this wasn’t the life she wanted for herself. Instead of returning home in shame, she caught a ride with a merchant to the Warren and attempted to build a new life there.

Settling in among the varied cast of the Warren was not easy, but Circe found herself far more able to slip into the background with dragons around. She developed a secret fondness for the denizens of the sky, admiring the way they never seemed to fear being the center of attention.

Circe met Acernus at the Warren, and while she was at first disturbed by the dragon’s overly exuberant friendliness, she began to warm to his sweet, if simple, approach to life. They grew closer over the years, eventually coming to admit feelings for each other, and then bonding to solidify the connection. She is now in a much better mindset and quite content with her life at the Warren, and has even made up with her family.
