Description
Of average height, with a full, athletic build, Temira is no waif. Blonde hair falls in straight locks nearly to her waist when left unbound, while expressive brows are slightly darker above curious hazel eyes. Fair skin has a slight tan, her small nose tends toward the ruddy when exposed to either sun or drink. Her voice is a husky alto, and small resting movements speak to a restrained energy.
Personality
Temira is one who can both love the old and still be excited for the new. The unknown is a challenge to her, the unknowable is a puzzle to be solved. Blessed with a more agreeable manner and more playful wit than most of her kin, she's facing a wide new world and can't wait to sink her teeth into it.
Background
The first child born of her father Branimir's second marriage, Temira was blessed by fate with few expectations or responsibilities. Her early life was far from luxurious, but she grew up as comfortable as any could among the Abandoned. Aged 8 when Branimir lost his eye and faced a change in perspective, Temira was doted on and indulged in her adolescence. She didn't always have her way, but the young lady was given more freedoms than she might have expected, despite the efforts of her mother to keep the exuberant noble respectably grounded.
In adulthood, she contributed to the House as best she could, more than once traveling with a trade ship to rival lands and returning with detailed accounts of their wealth, defenses, warriors, and ships ahead of an Eswynd raid. In her family's halls, she was a singer of songs, and teller of tales, whose taste for the unknown tended to exceed that of her more practically-minded kin.
When the Eswynds turned Prodigal and knelt to House Tyde, Temira was excited by the prospect of a new world to be explored. Devouring the details of Arvani life she could glean from her near-sister the Marquessa-Consort, it was only a matter of time before Temira found an excuse good enough to bring her to the vast city of Arx, and now- finally- she has her opportunity.
