----------
Appearance:
Scarab has a rather short, thin build with creamy chocolate skin & 
close-cropped blonde hair. Normal attire is a travel-worn cotton cloak, which 
hides a petite orichalcum breastplate over a simple cotton tunic. A long, 
weather-beaten scarf hangs around her neck, often used to conceal her face on 
a heist or can be wrapped up to deflect the sand & sun in the desert. A 
matching pair of black gloves, boots, and elbow/knee pads adorns her 
extremities, accented with magical metals. Numerous belts also criss-cross her 
waist, arms, and legs bearing shurikens & other poisonous impliments. A sharp, 
thin knife hangs in a scabbard behind her back, as well as a 
specially-crafted pouch for fire grenades and an easily accessible blowgun for 
sniping distant foes.

-First pic is an early concept sketch of Scarab by your truly. Sadly, with no 
 scanner on hand here the best I could do was a low-res cell phone pic, slightly 
 enhanced for detail & sharpness.
-Second is an inspirational image for Scarab's anima banner (and a possible future
 combo effect), taken from the CD cover art of the band Journey's "Greatest Hits" 
 album. Very Egyptian themed, with a Ra scarab beetle sprouting the wings of 
 Isis, and the two worlds of light & shadow which the Night caste shifts between.

Prophecy from her own player!

Scarab will be forced to choose between two things. She cannot have both, and 
either way she will lose something important.

Comments From her Fellows

Five Pillars She's very very good at what she does. I'm not sure if she can be counted on as a long term ally, but I do not doubt her, while she chooses to remain with us. She cloaks herself in mystery out of habit, I think, but given time, I believe she will be able to move past that.
