[http://darksiren.net/stuff/Jadira.jpg Yay! Pretty pic of Jadira.]
Sent to me by [[Seiraryu]], color-edited by [[Kazuki]]! Yes, she's wearing less
here than in her text desc, but I don't care. It's pretty!

Emerald-eyed Jadira stands about five feet tall, with freckled, sun-bronzed skin
and mid-back-length curly light brown hair. She typically ties her hair into a
high ponytail, then braids it, often weaving native flora into the braid if
easily accessible after a bath. For casual and travel wear, she dons a loose,
gauzy tunic of verdant green fabric vine-embroidered at the collar and hems and
cinched with a darker green knotted sash, leggings or close-fitting breeches of a
rich, earthy brown, and supple doeskin boots to protect her feet. During more
formal occasions, she lets her hair down and clothes herself in sleek, silken
gowns of autumnal red or gold shades, or vivid greens to evoke spring, with
stylized floral motifs cascading from shoulder to waist or splashed boldly
across the hips. In colder weather, she supplements her outfit with a velvety
hooded cloak the deep green hue of a forest canopy.

Jadira has a warm, easy smile that lights up her eyes and brings out the dimples
in her cheeks. She smiles often, too, being a friendly and fun-loving young
woman with a casual demeanor, always doing her best to put people in good spirits
and encourage them to feel comfortable in her presence. She doesn't always
succeed, though, and the particularly shy and apprehensive may even find her
personality pushy or overwhelming, no matter if she means well by her efforts.
To a certain extent her casual demeanor could be seen as a defense mechanism,
as well, particularly when she is faced with ridicule, rejection or failure. She
will rarely show, on the outside, that she is hurt, embarrassed or disappointed
by such situations. More likely, she will shrug and laugh it off in public, then
vent her emotions alone or with a trusted confidant. Either way, it doesn't take
Jadira overly long to recover from negative experiences, as she dislikes to dwell
on mistakes or angst over the past. She is dynamic by nature, preferring to move
forward and concentrate on what situations still has the power to change.

Jadira's parents are V'neef Madala and Sesus Denerid Kinowan, both Wood-aspected
Dragon-Blooded. Madala is a doctor, herbalist and healer that caters to high
class clientele, and once in a while takes on apprentices among the Dynasts to
pass on her methods. She has also inherited a swath of choice vinyards in Incas
Prefecture, the management of which she has largely shuttled onto her husband,
who has more patience and more of a head for bureaucracy. Kinowan, predictably,
passes most of the work onto a competent staff, preferring to spend his time
breeding horses and hunting dogs, and attending parties with his wife in which
their wine is often requested for and praised. Kinowan's father is a Cynis, which
of course has opened up access to both him and Madala to some of the most
indulgent and hedonistic parties in the Realm, though not every social gathering
they attend is for pleasure alone. In general, they are carefree in love and
lifestyle and lenient as parents, though they do expect their children to do well
in school and be able to make a living for themselves that brings money to the
family and House.

As a result, Jadira grew up with little more than the usual sources of stress
experienced by Dynastic children: assignments and exams, presentations and
recitals, not embarrassing the parents around important guests, finding a place
among one's peers, worrying about one's Exaltation. Her parents' influence also
created in her a strong appreciation for nature and its gifts, particularly the
beauty and duplicity of flora, which can be at times both medicinal and
poisonous, intoxicating and dangerous. Her fascination with the natural world
led her in a different direction than her parents' more practical fields -- in
particular, her desire to control it to some extent, or turn it to her advantage,
which in turn brought her to the practice of sorcery. She performed well enough
in primary school, Exalting more or less during the expected years, gathered to
herself a circle of slightly off-kilter but entertaining friends, and spent her
secondary school years in the Heptagram, conducting curious experiments
on plant life and animals, and drawing odd looks from the more typically morbid
and serious Heptagram student.

Jadira has just recently graduated, and -- along with a few good friends from
primary school -- has decided to enter in the quad-centennial Grand All-Creation
Cross-Direction Quest in order to put her abilities to the test. Included in the
group is the dashing and handsome Tepet Daithi, the only friend to have continued
into the Heptagram with her, and for whom she has a long and enduring crush that
she refuses to speak of or admit to. She considers him out of her league, not to
mention the better sorcerer -- but she doesn't let it get to her, much. She'd
much rather concentrate on having some fun, exploring the world, and achieving
some fame, fortune and (if need be) noteriety during the first great adventure of
her lifetime.

===== Artifacts =====

Green Jade Breastplate "Verdant Vestments" (Artifact 1)

Soak 6L/4B / Mobility -0 / Fatigue 0 
No fatigue for Terrestrial Exalted 
Commit 2 

This is Jadira's custom-altered green jade breastplate, adorned with gold vine
tracery blooming with stylized tropical flowers depicted in red jade. The
ornamental vines arc up either side of its surface, curving up and around the
breasts to form a delicate heart-like shape at the breastplate's center. Deep red
tasseled cords fasten the breastplate to the body, providing a sharp but pleasing
contrast to the jade.

Green Jade Hearthstone Bracers "Greensleeves" (Artifact 2)

+3 to Dodge 
1 Hearthstone slot (Sphere of Balance) 
Commit 3 

These elegant green jade forearm guards are edged with gold tracery and fitted
over fingerless, elbow-length gloves of leaf-green silk. Red jade inlays
depict a stylized frame of miniature two-lobed flowers surrounding the single
Hearthstone slot on the left guard.

Green Jade Short Powerbow "Arc-of-Thorns" (Artifact 3)

Acc +3 / Dam +2L(+2L again for arrows) / Rate 3 / Range 300 (Jade bonus included) 
1 Hearthstone slot (Stone of the Sure Path) 
Commit 5 

Arc-of-Thorns' body is a three-foot-long, slender arc of green jade with red
jade highlights shaped to resemble a spiny, succulent floral vine in full bloom.
The inspiration for the bow is a species of exotic flora tending to flourish in
tropical climates, with long, elegantly rounded leaves and clusters of small,
two-lobed flowers in vivid red. Arc-of-Thorns was granted to Jadira as a
graduation gift, and she values it just as much for its sentimental value as for
its properties.

When an ordinary (non-artifact) arrow is fired from the bow, the arrow shaft
thickens slightly and bursts forth with menacing thorns. This transformation will
not affect the arrow's flight, and adds another +2L to damage beyond the arrow's
natural characteristics. Thorned arrows embedded into the flesh must be extracted
with an Intelligence + Medicine roll at difficulty 3 or the arrow will cause
another 1L of health damage upon extraction.

Red Jade Short Daiklave "Blade of the Lioness" (Artifact 2)

Spd +3 / Acc +4 / Dam +4L / Def +1 / Rate 6 
1 Hearthstone slot (Stone of Quick Thought) 
Commit 4 

A short, quick blade belonging to the Ruby Lioness, a Fire Aspected leader of
horse bandits on the Marukani plains. Jadira took one of her two blades for
herself after her defeat, the one with the Hearthstone slot. Currently she
carries it but does not attune it for wielding.

===== Hearthstones =====

Stone of Quick Thought (Manse 1) (Bo3C)

Trigger: Concentration 
Grants +1 to Dex and Wits rolls. 

Sphere of Balance (Manse 2) (Bo3C)

Trigger: None, constant 
+2 penalty to difficulty to knock bearer off balance. 
+2 bonus to Athletics rolls that involve balance. 

Stone of the Sure Path (Manse 3) (Bo3C)

Trigger: Concentration 
Allows an Exalted who knows her destination to find her way to it. Takes shorter
the more sure she is of that knowledge. Will not negate sorcerous concealment of
the destination. 

===== Mundane =====

Gateway board (bought by Mint!)

Quiver of broadhead arrows
