Description
Dancing Rain is an acrobat from the Far West, although her style of performing tells a tale of years spent in the circuses and theatres of the Realm. For a couple of years, she has been touring the Scavenger Lands, making a decent living as an acrobat and a dancer. Most of her trade is offered for wealthy merchants and other citizens, but she also gives street performances. Recently, she has been seen in Great Forks, making the best of the approaching Calibration celebrations.
For a performer, Rain is quite an introvert. She is quiet and weighs her words carefully, but she can be terrifyingly blunt and even brutal when the mood strikes. She is a perfectionist in everything she does, and it shows. While she may not be the most intelligent or educated person - most of what she has learned outside her training has been hard fought for - she is cunning and clever. She enjoys performing as far as the perfection of the movement goes - whatever her audience thinks of it is secondary to her.
The first thing anyone notices about Rain is her colouring: she is an albino. Her hair is platinum blonde and she keeps it on short, clean dreads, using scarves to hold them in place. Her eyes are pale violet, and her skin is ivory white. Other than that, she does not have remarkable looks; she has a wide and straight nose, full lips and almond-shaped eyes. Her features are a bit too soft-looking to match with the wiry, sinewy muscularity of her slim frame. She isn't particularly tall, but rather of average height, compared to the women of the Realm or the Scavenger Lands; she stands 5'6".
As far as her clothing style goes, Rain is pragmatic. When she is performing, she wears Realm-style outfits, but otherwise she dresses simply. Usually she wears loose black trousers with a light-coloured long- and loose-sleeved tunic or a high-collared vest as a top. Her shoes are either sandals or cloth-boots; she does not like wearing leather. Her only vanity in clothing - asides her performing outfits - seem to be the long sashes and tasseled ropes that she often wears.
