Child of the Storm

.................................she was half a creature
Sanin’andra is a woman of distinguished air, a concept conveyed by the slope of her shoulders, the curve of her lips, and the cant of her head. But she wears it all not unlike a veil, so that she might obscure the quiet restlessness that lay beneath.Standing at a mere 5’6”, Sanin’andra cuts a soft, unassuming figure. She's shaped by the simple world in which she lives, maintaining a lithe build that lends itself to an effortless grace. And behind said build lies a particularly lengthy tail burdened entirely with long, glossy fur. That tail, coupled with similarly sleek ears atop her head, oft betray whatever she may be feeling at any given moment.A mantle of reddish, chestnut hair cascades down past her jawline, reaching just below the height of her shoulder blades. At times, the ends are softly curled, otherwise, it is either embellished with a loose, pulled back braid or styled flat against her back.Slit pupils inherent to Seekers sit amid wine-colored irises, those of which often harbor an unyielding curiosity. And in quiet contrast to the otherwise loud aspects of her features, an absurdly faint spray of freckles stretches across the bridge of her nose and pepper her cheeks.

The salt of La Noscea runs through her veins, specifically that of a western strain.Born to a wayward sub sect of the Lynx tribe, known by locals as the ‘Tide Stalkers’, Sanin’andra knew little more than the coastal bluffs of western La Noscea and the windswept isle of Limsa Lominsa for the majority of her life. But, the renown of her tribe, given their exemplary gift at free diving, offered her the opportunity to slake her wanderlust out at sea, the wood of a ship's deck and the brine of the ocean air her truest companions for many years.That time, however, is behind her. Now, she enjoys a brief respite from adventure as a secretary to the Sophont family and their leatherworking enterprise.

Of Sand and Sea
Know Thy Enemy
Having come from an exceedingly long line of "Tide Stalkers", a moniker gifted to her tribe by the locals of western La Noscea, Sanin'andra has a unique talent - free diving. A talent used mostly for gathering what her tribe could in terms of food from the ocean, it was also sought after by other souls as an easy tool to seize treasure from wrecks in shallower depths. It would not be inconceivable for you to have a need for this talent, also.
In her most recent venture, Sanin'andra has involved herself with the Sophont family and their prosperous leatherworking enterprise. Though her role is merely that of a secretary, maintaining schedules, handling correspondence, etcetera, there are whispers that her entanglement with the family goes beyond mere professional boundaries, specifically with the son. If you have an interest in the Sophonts, whether it be nefarious, ambitious, or otherwise, she could be a source of information.
With Eyes Closed
The Arrow Flies
If her appearance does not strike the chord of recognition, Sanin'andra's voice might serve you better. She has fostered her voice over many years and has indulged in a performance or two at taverns or whilst on jobs, accompanied by her fledgling skills as pianist. You may very well recall one such performance, and allow it to lead you in conversation with her.
Sanin'andra is by no means a combatant. That does not mean, however, that she cannot appreciate the art of more... physical skills. In fact, her prowess with a bow could rival even the most dedicated archer's. Perhaps rumor of the miqo'te's competence found its way to your ears, and you've found yourself in need of tutor. Although she is no teacher, she could, conceivably, be persuaded to help you get your feet under you.

A bit about me:
I've been roleplaying for 10+ years now, am 21+ and require my partners to be as well if mature themes come up.For Sanin'andra specifically, I'm open to the typical routes: friendships, enemies, etc. And while I'm happy and willing to explore and write different scenes, I adore writing dark fantasy, chivalric, or adventrous themes with Sanin.I do work full-time and have limited availability throughout the work week, leaving me mostly available during the weekend. But I can absolutely schedule in advance for something on a weeknight.As always, OOC ≠ IC.
