Description

Omg my eyes, I'm starting to see fireflies with my eyes jhgefjhwegf :icontearplz:

*UPDAATTTEEDDD* I've Just redesigned her :icontearplz:

for :iconda-fantasia:

RP with me: Rp Journal or Notes, or MSN/Skype (I'm terrible at starting RP's and shy so please be more forward with me @ v @;; )

Name: Jiya

Age: ??

Race: Elf

Height: 160 cm

City: Ashbriar

Job: Shaman

Weapon: Staff and Chants, using forces/spirit of nature to assist and attack.

Likes: Tranquility, Sounds of tree leaves and grass gently blew by wind, Meditating, Small talks, Animals, Natures, Caring for others, dancing.

Dislikes: Disrespect, Having to read omens (because she had seen lots of those which were quite unpleasant or even terrifying)

Personality: Loony as in many ways, she frequently does this little dance whilst walking when she's alone, slightly flirtatious, ladylike when the situation calls it, Seems to often putting small smile in any kind of circumstances and is poised. Although she could be really sensitive. She talks to herself a lot while in the actuality having a conversation with spirits directly in her minds.
When performing Shamanism she became a whole different person rather than behaving as she usually does..

History: Before becoming resident of Ashbriar, Jiya lives inside a cave, hiding within forest with her mother, her father died while her sister missing from protecting both and keeping them save out of soldiers who pursued Jiya in order to capture her due to her bearing an immense ability which is forbidden to disclose. While living in such predicament, she learns from her mother to hone her ability using forces of nature and communicating with spirits. She also taught to survive in forest from hunger and dangers whilst having a wide knowledges of nature since able to get in contact with them spiritually.

Not long after few months, her mother was assassinated while Jiya was away to get some food supplies. She hid under the bushes, watching the men to move slowly far from her, but figured her out later when she threw up, feeling nauseated from the shock of her mother's death. Her legs were wobbly but managed to run as fast as she could, however, stumbled on a small rock on the way. Her body shaken greatly as she closed her eyes tight, suddenly hearing many voices in her head and made her think she has gone crazy, but later found out to be the voices of the spirit.

The spirits then guided her to hide from those soldiers, and eventually assisted her a way out from the forest to find a village called "Ashbriar".

Once she made it there, the farmers spotted her fell on knees in front of them with eyes wide open, then bursted out to tears loud enough to fill the whole farm with her cry.

From then on, she begin to live in the village with the help of people there, who were openly accept her for whoever she is (unlike people who considered her ability as curses and had to kill her), and worked as one of Shaman's teacher in Ashbriar as she seemingly turned older.


Trivias:
- Jiya is an Indian name originally. The meaning, according to many sources say that is relevant to "heart" or "piece of" the heart. It is conjecture, though and there seems to be no hard and fast etymological line.
- Her age is unknown, there's an indication she might've been a hundreds years old due to the fact that she's a full fledged elf.
- Secretly adores cute things and anything fluffy
- Tend to have a habit of twirling her own hair (this only happened when she felt quite comfortable with the person in conversation)
- Easily lost in the way, as she confesses that only the spirits which guided her for the path.
- She usually dances in a ritual related to spirits, but quite often dancing solely for her delight.

An elf, an elf an elf! I'm so happy to find yet another elf (even if I'm so slow LOOKING for you guys anyway! Haha!)

I find her story sorta sad, since she seems to have been suffering for the longest time. Losing ones family so violently must've made her soooooo sad and confused and maybe a BIT distrustful of people - that is, if the SPIRITS hadn't been there to guide her somehow.

I like the mystic look about her. She's SOOOO very differently done from my elf, Rent, but I still like it all the same. All the marking son her body are distracting, though they only bring MORE attention to her eyes. They're lovely and so bright! I love the way your whole drawing draws attention to them - in my opinion - above all other things.

What's you're timezone, darling? I'd love to hit you up on MSN if our zones are compatible. Otherwise, notes are fine too. *is absolutely SHAMELESS about RPs*
