Appearance

Nazira stands at approximately 6’4 with deep red skin and red hair resembling that of an Arkansas Black Apple. Her horns swirl outward from the base of her temples and coil like a snail’s shell around her ears. Her eyes are a shade darker than white that pierces through even her sturdy, low-hanging browline and cutting cheekbones. She’s very thin for a woman of her stature, but due to the many years of dance training, she seems to walk with elegance and suave that are only heightened by her sharp joints and slim features. She’s never seen without a dress that lavishes her appearance with grace and her choice of jewelry mimics her strong personality with a great resemblance. Her skin is always adorned with make-up that serves only to express her current mood as if she herself is a story that is waiting to be told.

Personality

Nazira is a very persistent and determined woman. She knows at all times what she wants from her life and she will fight to achieve it, letting no one stand in her way. She’s very independent and does not ask for help often due to a sense of pride that has been built from the ground up over the course of her lifetime. While not outwardly smart with puzzles or problem solving, she is charismatically clever and uses her unique talents for things outside of the theoretical box. She makes calculated decisions about her life by determining what it is she wants, what she currently has, and what she needs, and it was ultimately this precise planning and cunning persistence that landed her her current husband. A rather blunt woman in normal conversations, many would say that she’s able to cut right through polite chit chat and talk directly to people’s hearts rather than their minds.

Background

Originally a daughter of the Azum family, Nazira married into the Taheriva name at the age of 28. Originally in her youth, she was a performative dancer who told stories with a small group of others, but once she married into the Taheriva family, she decided to use her magic study and charismatic storytelling to good use and became a caregiver for the elderly. She uses telepathy to try and better understand the needs of her patients who cannot communicate normally, telekinesis to help move patient’s heads or limbs carefully without touching them, and she tells stories to those who are lonely or desire interaction. Because of her late change of career, she’s not particularly skilled in her craft and mostly assists other, more qualified doctors and nurses as an apprentice.

Nazira and her husband currently have a single child, a son of the age of 8 who holds the family name. She had one child before him, but she tragically was captured and assumed dead at the age of 2 when she and her mother were attacked by cutthroats outside of the city.
