Profile
Sahwina is a sentient scarecrow who tends to a farm nestled in a surprisingly fertile corner of the Haunted Woods. Though intended as a farmer's aid, Sahwina has become the sole worker now that the place has been mysteriously abandoned by all but herself.
Appearance
As a scarecrow, Sahwina's body is made from a variety of textiles. Her skin, so to speak, is fashioned from a sturdy cloth made mostly from unbleached wool which has further yellowed over time.
Despite the coarseness of the material, the fabric tends to thin in certain places, particularly her hands and feet, requiring her to patch the area with a newer, often mismatching piece of cloth. Sahwina also deals with the occasional tear, which she then needs to stitch closed. Sahwina has prominent stitch marks on the stalks of her antenna, roughly two thirds down.
Inlaid inside her ears, and over the tip of her antennas, is a softer fabric which has been dyed a rosy orange. A similar, yet more vibrant, shade has been used to grace Sahwina with round, rosy cheeks. A thin, elongated dark triangle lies at the centre of her round face, not unlike a nose which may be found on a carved pumpkin.
Sahwina is somewhat small in stature and slender in build, but with a bit more stuffing around the hip and upper thigh.
Personality
A cheery sack of fluff measuring just a little over five feet, Sahwina seems hardly cut out for the scaring business. It then seems quite reasonable that her functionality is not limited to frightening off crokabeks. Made to be the perfect servant, Sahwina is compliant to a fault. She will obey without question and always with a smile on her face, as she ought to.
Sahwina is hardworking to boot, completing her many tasks with care as if it were an art. Despite her impressive skill in areas such as farming or housekeeping, Sahwina gives the impression of being otherwise dull and unknowledgeable. Placing little trust in her own judgement, Sahwina easily follows other people's lead, adding to her naive, sheepish nature.
Down to earth, Sahwina enjoys the little things in life and thrives in serene environments, though much of that calmness comes from herself. While she would never turn away company, Sahwina is not made discontent by her solitude. There's something quite pleasant about it, though Sahwina could barely begin to describe as to why.
Trivia
- A good one word description for Sahwina would be "quaint"
- Is often nicknamed "Saw"
- Has a pet Clompkin whom she's quite fond of. Named Evie, the little thing likes to follow Sahwina around or rest in the sunlit greenhouse
- Sahwina sometimes struggles with her memory and vocalization, as if her thoughts flowed only sluggishly to where they ought to be. This often manifests as awkward silences within sentences and forgetfulness
- She may also have amnesia. That or she is religiously secretive of the things she has witnessed in her past.
- Has the temperament of a saint if there ever was one! Not a single bad bone in her body (or any actually, but that's beside the point)
- A creature of habbit
- The fabric that makes up her "skin" is not impermeable, meaning that water can drench her stuffing, making her susceptible to mould
- Would probably like Fleetwood Mac and Hozier
Likes
- The way the sky glows when the sun sets
- The crisp sound dead leaves make when you step on them
- Pumpkins and Sunflowers
Dislikes
- Being caught in the rain
- Slorgs
- Being made to do things that go against her moral code
Skills & Abilities
History
For a magical scarecrow, Sahwina has very little to say about herself. She's been at the farm for as long as she's has been a being, though she couldn't say how much time that was and very much less comment on the experience of suddenly gaining consciousness, which she has no recollection of. Sahwina claims that she has masters which she serves, who's return she's long awaited, but has little to say about them.
It would appear that she's suffered severe memory loss, or perhaps there's a whole lot she's not allowed to say.
