Zenleigha

Zenleigha is the first character of any sort that I've played for a great length of time, and thus she is my favorite. She's been a lot of fun to play and I hope I get to keep playing her for a long while yet ^_^

Description

Zenleigha stands about five feet six inches tall, with her long mahogany hair sweeping low over her lower back. Most often she keeps it tied back with a simple leather thong, reminiscent of her former life as the apprentice to the village wise woman. But that life has been left behind, and the village of her childhood no longer exists. If she had to hail from anywhere it would be the hand built city of Stonewall that she watched rise slowly from the ground. It was there she took on the tattoos that mark her as a leader amongst the eastern people. They stand out in the blue, green, and natural brown against her olive skin. Running from her temples, down her neck, splaying lightly over her collarbone and then finding their way down to the top of her hands they mimic the delicate vines that embraced the trees of the eastern forest during the summer months.

It was in Stonewall that Zen embraced these traditional markings, and her future as she began to realize that there was more to who she was. Her exaltation was a gift and she was going to use it as such. She began to make learning all of who she was to help become who she was going to be. She speaks Forest Tongue, River Tongue and Old Realm fluently now as well as learning to fine-tune her skills as a healer and a sorceress. Now, she has a child to look after. Fathered by her old tribe mate Jekari, her daughter Onyx Skies is the small joy in her life that keeps her attached to her past. She is determined to raise her child according to her own morals and standards.

These days she finds herself searching for her own niche in this dangerous game of chess, and is beginning to realize exactly what kind of game it is that they are all playing. None of their lives are quite their own any more – despite the history between her and her tribes mates, and the friendships she’s formed with Alaethis, Ruby and now surprisingly Alabaster Chimes. She’s playing a dangerous game, and not just in the political sense. Only time will tell if her playful messaging with the Diamyo of Lookshy will reap any benefits or have all their heads on the top list of the Wild Hunt
