About Setara::.
Basic description:Setara would be in her early twenties, possibly even late teens. She's not an idividual that would overly stand out against her kin, being rather plain in appearance. She sports watery green eyes, fairly tanned skin from her exposure to the elements & her hair is a dark crimson in colour. She has a few scars on her upper arm gained as a youngster but they are faded now with time. She has no other discernable features that would make her stand out.
Basic Personality: Her nature is self assured, maybe even slightly cocky if she feels she has the high ground in an argument (moral or no). If her ego is deflated, she will become huffy & drop into a silent & moody protest. Her brash nature can often lead to her making snap decisions that can have good or bad consiquences depending wholey on the situation. Setara might be brash, but she is in now way a flirtatious person given that she will often become shy with advances from others. Setara is often quiet in large groups of people & rarely starts a conversation unless she has to. In arguments Setara will debate to the death, but otherwise, she remains silent.
Setara's loyalty lies with her nomad kinsfolk & those who she allows to get close enough to her & Setara, being a fair hand at trading & the like, is often rather careful as to whom she befriends outside of her nomad family. Being from a close knit circle of kinsfolk, Setara follows orders from her elders. However, being given orders by outsiders is something that she will not accept without good reason.
Background: Setara is the daughter of a trading family within the nomad tribe, well liked by others but not someone of particular importance. She proves a deft hand with basic weapons such as spears, those known to her tribe, aswell as a pair of short blades that she keeps about her person. Whatever weapon she uses, she has a controlled manner about her when weilding them.
Aswell as being well versed in the ways of basic weaponry, Setara bonds well with animals, feeling close to nature through her bloodlines. She is overly fond of creatures canine in nature.
She currently resides outside of the city with her family, trading with merchants & the like to keep food on the table. Setara helps her family hunt & forage for food, whilst helping with business. Her father & mother dispair slightly of her boyish brashness & try to tone her down at every opportunity. Setara is not self conscious about her appearance either, caring not what she wears, when, why or what colour her garb is. In regards to clothes & her appeareance, she is not all that concerned, but her various quirks & habits are a completely different thing altogether. Anything that she feels others would pick at, she hides.
Setara also does not appreciate the church trying to meddle in the tribes affairs & looks down on them with a distasteful & slightly distrustful air. As for princess Calliope & Prince Dmitri, Setara does not feel hatred towards them or anything for that matter. She is quite content so long as they keep to their own business & let her get on with her own.

Setara's Belongings & Gifts::.Setara's personal affects include two short blades, her simple outfit & a blue band of leather used to tie back her hair.
She also carries this little book about with her where ever she goes. When she can find time alone, she secrets herself away & begins to draw. Few know of this little habit simply because she has yet to find someone who would not laugh at her & call her childish.
Setara has no gifts at the moment

Setara's Allies & Enemies
Setara's somewhat waning loyalty lies with her tribe & at current, she has no enemies.
General Jariah - Setara's General, whos orders span down from Malak. Jariah is a loyal warrior & a crack shot with her crossbow. Setara has great respect for Jariah & admires her unwavering loyalty. Jariah is prehaps the only role model that Setara would like to follow within the tribe.
Merchant King Malak - Setara knows him as her leader, but nothing more. His greed & want for power trouble her greatly & often drive her to question her reasons for serving him.

Setara's Family::.
Mother::.
- Andraste -
A rather frail but pretty nomad woman who is quiet & reserved on very much every single subject of discussion. She tends to spend what talkative moods she has with Setara, expressing her discomfort with the ruling tactics of their 'King'. Despite her frailty & quiet demeanor however, Andraste is an excellent tradeswoman who never misses an opportunity.
Father::.
- Phelan -
A father dissapointed still that his first child was a daughter rather than a son. He spends little time at home & enjoys hunting, sparring & cursing the city dwellers. Phelan is not nearly as bright as his wife & definately not as well spoken as he spends all his time within the tribe whilst Andraste sees to trading. He has a short temper & an even shorter attention span. Setara gave up trying to win his favour after the tender age of 11, knowing that she could do little to change his attitude.
Siblings::.
- Jared & Nomi -
These two twins are like the yin & yang of Xanolonia. Jared posesses all the temper & gall of his father, whilst Nomi is a soft & inquisitive creature like his mother. Both can be trouble at times for Setara & her mother alike regardless of their demeanors due to rigourous teachings from their father. Setara fears that whatever softness Nomi has in his soul will be wiped out by her fathers influence. Phelan favours his sons over Setara no matter what steps she takes to impress him.
Significant Other::.
- None -

Setara's HomeSetara's tiny sleeping space is the only private space the nomad has & even then she has her younger brothers intruding. She keeps what posessions she has in her sleeping space unless she is travelling. The dragon plushie in the corner is something that Setara was given as a child, but she would not like to admit that she still has it.

Setara's Animal Companions ::.
Lorkhan - This large grey pelted & black maned equidyne belonged to her father but was given to her so that she could carry out the wishes of King Malak. Lorkhan is rather plain compared to creatures like Jariah's Trory, but what he lacks in appeal, he more than makes up for in his excellent expression & his intelligence. Lorkhan does not like feeling dejected or being left alone for more than half an hour. In which case he wil become sullen & refuse to co-operate with anyone. He bonds better with Setara than Phelan simply because the former treats him as an equal...& gives him minted treats.
Faust - Faust is a sullen little vixie that Setara claimed as a prize in the recent vixie hunt. He tends to scowl much of the time or have a blank expression on his face. Despite being sullen & moody however, he is posessed of a crafty & sly nature. He has only been with Setara a short while, but has bonded with his new owner well considering she treats him as she treats Lorkhan, as an equal.

Setara's SketchbookContained within the pages of her sketchbook are intricate & rather odd looking scribbles, drawings & dreamscapes that the nomad so enjoys creating when she gets the chance. She take care to fill her pages well, considering that she earns only enough to feed & cloth herself & shoe Lorkhan (Phelan neglects this duty). She could probably not afford another.
- [1] Setara isnt sure what this one actually is, suffice to say that she has named it 'Moonblossom'.
