Personal Possessions:
Various necklaces, earrings, bracelets (she made herself from gems, dragonet teeth, as well as other miscellaneous items she finds while exploring), other jewelry bought from vendors , and gifted to her by her family. She also owns a collection of well loved and taken care of weaponry. Favorite Possessions: * Shurin - Dagger: It is a full twisted metal dagger. There is an amethyst imbedded into the center of the blade. The whole dagger is made up of a light but super strong metal thus preventing the blade from ever coming loose or the hilt from cracking and breaking. * Twin Swords:Sssiks - Sun / Drathir - moon * Scorpion - Bladed Whip: Though it looks to long it compacts down into the length of a longsword, that is also how she carries it when the whip part of it is not activated * Nauxuznira Ssa'ch - Infinity Bag: This is a bag that has been passed down through the generations from Bal's original ancestors, it was a gift from a noble elf to her family for service above and beyond anything they could have hoped for. The true tale of these deeds have been lost to time but the bag remains unchanged from that far distant time. Engraved with Runes granting it the power to store anything you can imagine, no matter how big or small. Its runes can re-size anything that has been prompted to be put into it with a single word as well as taken out. The speaker of these said words does not require the need of any magic affinity just the blood of the royals it was infused with. If the words are not spoken and the item of request not named then the Nauxuznira Ssa'ch acts like any normal bag of its size. Thus any creature can use this bag but to be able to unlock its true potential you must meet the requirements explained above. Personality:An explorer by nature Balaste Is very inquisitive and love learning and finding new things. ' Live as if you were to die tomorrow, Learn as if you were to live forever' Is just one of the precedence is she lives by giving her an unpredictability, For just about anything and everything can and will pique her interest. Making her seem scatterbrained as she flits to and fro between items and topics of interest. she is even worse out and about, disappearing and reappearing like a sprite in the woods. With her open nature Balaste Is rarely judgmental she loves everyone and everything. Though one of the things that get in her way is trust. She is just as untrusting as she is friendly, and it shows in the way she talks and walks. Eyes fixated on some distant point, closed sometimes unemotional voice, unwavering and blunt. Jaw set and body tensed like a coiled snake ready to strike at a moment's notice. And forever watchful forever vigilant, even when she rest the slightest whisper of the wind snaps her awake. The only times you can find her at least somewhat relaxed and at peace is when she is meditating/ communing with nature. Or around the people she has come to trust. Though sometimes she does reach a zen like state when she trains, which she does regularly so she can reach her full potential. Even though Balaste Is deeply untrusting once you have proven yourself she is loyal to the end. Much like a wolf, unwavering, Balaste will stick her neck out for those chosen few. Defending them at all costs, even if it means sacrificing her own life. This is one of the reasons why she train so hard, so she can defend herself and others she has grown to trust and love. Balaste Is also very passionate about her beliefs in the things she likes, and woe to the person who decides to cross paths with her. For her temper, even though placid most of the time can flare up, her parents jokingly call her their little fire-cracker. But there is no joking when she has reached her limit. either stand your ground and brace yourself or get out of the way, because she has been known to take the toughest of people down. But most other times she is as calm as still water, she has been able to on more than one occasion quell the fire of others. Though she is more adept at dealing with animals, she uses this ability on people most of the time she can level the hottest of heads. Likes: Poetry: Exploring Singing (though mostly to her self) Training everything to do with arts and crafts plants and animals of any kind. Dislikes: Oppression: She gets very hot when she views any one living being thinking that they are better then any other being, even tho she is a noble in her clan she treats everyone with equality and respect Bullies Failing anything Being ignored, and being interrupted Strengths: Fast learner Very personable Weakness: Temperamental at times, over does herself Fears: Not being chosen by a dragon and spending her life as a. 'Normal' person. Letting her family down. Goals: To become the best Academy that she can be, and to make herself into someone her family could be proud of. Also to explore the world, find things that have not been found yet, and to make as many friends as she can along the way. skills: skills relevant to placement in the classes. magic, combat, stealth, politics, photographic memory ect. lyrics > history put your characters' family members up here like this: name - relation . species . alive/deceased/unknown name - relation . species . alive/deceased/unknown make sure your history is long enough to explain all of your character's backstory!

Appearance
At a distance the most stunning feature about Balaste is her rich dusty-charcoal-brown complexion, lighter than most drow; but still stunning none the least. She wears it with pride not afraid to show a little bit of it here and there, The second most stunning feature that stands out is her fiery red hair, silken, long and curly. It cascades down her back, stopping just past her rump, in the sun it seems to resonate with an inner light. Much like crackling fire it looks as if it has a life of its own seeming to flicker has she moves, giving her an ethereal almost unapproachable presence. Though most of the time that is not the case, she is a very tender spirit ready to lend a helping hand. She normally wears her hair down with a portion of it pulled back into a ponytail. There isn’t ever one style that Bal is partial to; that is to say outside of training or fighting. Her preferred out of the way style would be one long tight neat braid running down the center of her back. Though that's not the only time you will see her hair in braids, she loves them, most of the time Bal will have two or more done up in her hair at a time. Woven within Feathers, shells, ribbons, polished claws and teeth, gems of varying quality set perfectly in different metals. Bal loves this type of craft, she has been been doing jeweling and metal working since as long as she can remember. Once you have closed the gap of distance to set your eyes upon Bal the first striking thing you will see are her long slender ears, denoting that from the clan Bal hails from she is royalty of the highest branch. Not only that but the presence about her confirms she has never been made to bow before anyone; Now going from top to bottom, Her almond shaped eyes add to her presence not so slanted that she would become an oddity but enough to give her that feral cat like edge. Her eye coloring is also unique only unto her, meaning none in her family possess her bi-color eyes. Her right eye resembles the her father Maehem, a rich Emerald green with lighter and darker notes, Her left eye resembles that of her mother Kayote, a deep Azure blue dark around the outer and inner edges with a lighter splash of Azure snaking its way in between the darker layers. Both of which have golden flecks along with an unusual inner glow, though not so unusual if you believe the saying that 'the eyes are the windows to the soul'. Along with being two different colors, her eyes aren't just for show, she can see quite well. Well enough in fact that her best friend gave her the nickname Asse Solen ‘eagle eyes’, for you would be hard pressed to sneak anything by her. Continuing on; Balaste’s features are not as angular , like most drow, being more on the fair side with light curves instead of strong points. Bal has full creamy hazelnut lips slightly darker in shade. Light almost non existent freckles dot her cheeks running in a haphazard strip over her nose, giving her a cute wilder look. These freckles continue all over her lithe curvy figure, honed well over the years with all of her training both with Kestral; her family's appointed trainer and by herself in her spare time. Her stature is a strong one, good posturing learned from her parents, she walks proud at a 5’ 9’’. She can wear anything well with both ample chest and posterior Bal can turn eyes wherever she goes, with a medium stride and just the right swing to her step Bal is definitely a sight to behold. Last but not least her fashion, could be put as eccentric, sporadic, non conformant, or just anything she happens to want to wear that day. Though mostly it's at least respectable, for her family's sake, yet Bal is not above just running out of her room in anything she can lay her hands on. Balaste also loves her jewelry, she owns quite a collection of odds and ends that she has bought or made herself, though mostly hand made. Her hunting cloths though are plain leather, more along the lines of efficient than stylish, she does add her own engraving on them. Sprawling swirls, leafy offshoots make her hunting gear look as though vines are crawling over the leather's surface. |
