Realm
Lives in a world resembling that of Nubia or Egypt; a desert landscape where people make their lives venturing from water to water, with towns spring up near oceans, rivers, and the occasional oasis. Most live in the more permanent residences near these water sources, though some, Caspian included, live in bands of that travel the lands, moving from town to town and often camping in the deserts for nights on their journeys. Caspian's band makes a living through performance, art, and trade; while they tend not to stay too far from the word of the law, they have been known to steal or cheat if it means keeping their kind safe.
OrientationHomosexual
Abilities and Skills
Caspian is most skilled as a performer. She is exceptionally graceful, making her dances smooth and artful. She works will under pressure, and even when she finds herself in danger, manages to keep a level head. She is also good at reading a situation, which is in part why she has found talent in charming snakes.
Personality
Caspian holds herself unwavering to her own high standards, never deviating from her attitude of perfection. There is little she dislikes more in the world than messing up, and while she doesn't lie when she makes a mistake, she does her best not to acknowledge it if it can be avoided. She believes that she has a duty to her fellow travelers, and especially her fellow dancers, and gets quite upset when something goes wrong that hurt those around her. She tends not to be very conversation, preferring her own thoughts or silence to small talk. When necessary, she is quick to step up to action; she will gladly take control of a situation if no one else will, though she doesn't like to be seen as a leader in any way. However, for all the distance she tries to maintain from her emotions and from the emotions of others, once she is comfortable around someone, that chilly exterior vanishes. While some would describe her as focused but distance, other would say claim her to be warm and full of humor; it merely depends how close you are to her which side you will see.
BackstoryThe daughter of two merchants, Caspian has always known life on the road. During her childhood, there was an unusually harsh dry season, leading to famine among the towns and cities along the water; though the band Caspian's family was staying with at the time were able to keep themselves safe and their children fed through theft and deception. That famine was what led Caspian to see the law as malleable, and to see the safety of her own kind as more vital than morality itself. She was taken as an apprentice to a talented performer, and taught how to make a living off of her skill and grace. Since then, Caspian has made a name for herself thanks to these skills, and has managed to keep herself safe from the dangers that come from wandering the desert. She has stayed with the same band most of her life.
