Jahára was born on the slum streets of Seluca. She was born with a name she couldn't remember and a mother she didn't know.

But steel was born in her spine and when pickpocketing no longer bought her safety among the streets, she walked straight into a brothel one day and never looked back. Her body a fair trade for the promises of safety and luxury fed to her from someone else's spoon.

It was here she learned the art of manipulation. How to cater to the dreams of men and get what she wanted so she could live another day, earn another coin. This is when she knew that money was the only thing that would buy her true freedom in this cruel world.

With the God Tabin-Ur unbeknownst at her side, Jahára whispered a handful of offers into the ears of wealthy patrons, and soon she not only found her contract bought and absolved, but she had enough to invest in the empire she planned to build.

With the gold of wealthy men at her fingertips, Jahára created the Gilded Peacock Guild, a unique trading company that specialized in only the best spices, silks, and other harder to come by items for the discerning client.

Her trade business was booming and soon she found herself contending with the best of the best in the city of Seluca. But when her success threatened the other investments of her creditors, her debt came due.

For how dare a woman attempt to sit at the same table where men broke bread.

Yet, a fateful coup of the city's longstanding tyrant found her creditors wiped and executed for their treason.

Now with a new lease on life, Jahára can take her merchant empire to new heights. No longer shackled to the hubris of men who thought themselves better than the sea urchin who had climbed her way to greatness.

Jahára takes great effort to make her beauty into a weapon.

Kohl darkened eyes. Long and glossy wavy brown hair and thick arched brows. Lavish cloaks and robes and sashes of all colors. Nothing but the richest and finest garments touch her skin.

The only tattoo she has is an ostentatious and richly colored peacock that adorns her chest and neck.

When she assumes her disguise as Ahmir, she uses what minor illusion magic she possesses and becomes a self-important man, the one that outsiders know as the Merchant Prince of Seluca.

These are some of the main imports & exports that the Gilded Peacocks deal in:

Coffee: Rich and strong coffee from a place unknown. Usually brewed with a mix of spices such as cinnamon, clove, anise, and vanilla. On this the guild holds a monopoly within the city of Seluca. Her supply chain is a tightly held secret and one she would pay in blood to keep quiet.

Silk: The finest of silks, curated from as far away as the silk worms of Fal'Wood. Known for their bright colors and elaborate golden thread weavings.

Spices: From farm to table. The Gilded Peacock prides themselves on a fast fleet of tradeship, able to deliver the freshest spices from faraway lands.

Black Market: For the discerning and well-paying client, the Gilded Peacocks have no qualms about sourcing whatever magical items or otherwise that are requested from their guild, all handled with the utmost discretion of course.

Charming, eloquent, confident and accompanied with a biting wit. This self-established merchant prince uses every tool in her arsenal when engaging with a wide range of individuals, from wealthy patrons to potential allies or rivals.

Exuding a languid air of self-assuredness and poise. She is unapologetically herself, standing firm in her beliefs and decisions. Her confidence in her abilities enables her to take risks and face challenges head-on without succumbing to doubt or fear.

Not many outside of her loyal guard, the Sultan and her most trusted clients know that Jahára is the one who leads the famous Gilded Peacocks. In a world built by men for men. She has found that one of her best tools of the trade is to present herself as a man when making her dealings.

Granted, now that she is more established and widely known, the facade is hardly needed to gain and convince clients to do fair business with her. Usually, she sends in lackeys or decoys to barter and secure these deals. But on occasion, she is called to don her alter ego, Ahmir to do her bidding.

Jahára's constant companion is that of her devoted sand cat, Sarabi.


An unusually docile desert predator that listens to none outside her mistress.
