Siva Duskbreath
Write a summary paragraph about your character here
Appearance
Siva is 165 cm tall with a slim frame and her white hair is cut appropriately short for practicality. She usually wears dark robes with a short mantle to fit and is rarely seen in public without her leather gloves. Her eyes are a matte ocean blue and her lips are painted dark red.
Skills and Abilities
Siva is a shadow whisperer and is able to coerce and lure demonic creatures into her world from their native planes where she binds them to her will. She needs to actively whisper into the shadows to summon the creatures from those.
Personality
You could certainly call Siva a recluse, but if you're curious enough about her strangeness, you'll find that there's a lot more to her beneath the surface. Politeness may come and go as she forgets her manners only to remind herself of her humble heritage and retreat into herself. And if the topic of conversation touches the realm of her expertise, those who are used to her taciturn behavior may find themselves shocked by how many words can be spoken and such a short time. For someone meeting Siva the first time, she seems to enjoy long, creepy stares directed at seemingly nothing, standing in the outskirts of a group hardly breathing and occasionally grinning at nothing in particular. If this, contrary to all logic, doesn't put you off, getting to know her she has a dark humor, an avid inner life and imagination and a way of recognizing someone's character and loyalties quite quickly. Gaining her trust one may even find that she actually has a sociable character hidden inside her somewhere.
Biography & Lore
There is not a chance in the world, that Siva would be picked first at any sporting event - even if she was very good at it. Her surname, Duskbreath, was not the name, she was handed by her classmates. Given the countless hours she spent trying to polish her magical talents with whispers in dark corners, she was quickly branded "Siva Dustbreath". And right until the final exams appropriate control of her magic eluded her, and many students joked that the teachers were only keeping her as an example of what a Dreadlord was not. But for one of her proctors personal pride and a fair measure of cruelty forbad this failure, and only weeks before her final exams, she was locked in isolation to "die or succeed".
Although entirely spent, starved and exhausted, on the day of the exam she was allowed to participate in the graduation with her classmates as their peer. At the core, Siva is not vengeful, yet the sheer look of surprise and shock called upon a faint smile. Little did Siva tell about what had happened in those two weeks and how she survived, but being able to call upon and bind her shadowy creatures was enough for the proctors to give her the necessary nod needed to graduate on "special terms". Terms however, that meant her graduation was officially still a borrowed one, as they wanted to confirm through her merits that she had indeed sufficient ability to carry the badge of Dreadlord. But to everyone else but a few proctors, she was now a fully fledged Dread Lord.
