Background

Senkha Slitherscale was raised by her parents - Zaya and Omzaz Slitherscale. They were traders that regularly traveled through Livanin Desert and sold various goods, generally of more casual sort like clothing and jewelry. Senkha was never raised in one place as her parents regularly were moving from one place to another to sell the goods. That influenced the young Senkh as she learned speaking in more than just common language. She grasped basics of many but was the most efficient at Shrevir's due to natural close proximity of theirs.


Senkha was raised as her parents, to learn and become a trader. Over the years she become more proficient at figuring out people, how to sway them to her side or simply negotiate a more profitable end of their transaction, than average Senkh. In addition to that and learning languages she was also able to acquire more rare goods that she could keep with herself, including rare jewelry, beloved armor or solid weapon. Such lifestyle also brought disadvantages as Senkha was never able to establish a deep meaningful relationship with anyone of her age as the people came and went, leaving not enough time for it.


In her 30s Senkha was left with Zaya at Shassusin by Omzaz as he had to continue selling the goods because of Zaya that got unusually ill in recent days. The infection greatly weakened her body, forcing her to remain at rented place with the daughter that took care of her. Weeks were passing with Zaya slightly getting better day by day, yet her stamina and health was severely degraded, making her recovery very slow. During that time Omzaz was rarely showing in the city but each time with money and goods to continue providing for his family.


After months of slow recovery Omzaz disappeared, leaving no letter and his last visit having an ominous aura, as if something was meant to happen. Senkha and Zaya both felt it but tried to brush it off, assuming that perhaps Omzaz was simply overworked and stressed. They both cheered up his spirits as he once more left them money to live with while patiently awaiting for his wife's health to get back to shape so they could resume their trading life, together. Unfortunately for Zaya and Senkha it was the last time they met him or heard from him, his fate being unknown to this day.


This was a severe blow to Zaya that felt she was able to resume the work with her beloved husband very soon, while Senkha felt felt unusually sad, as if she missed an opportunity. Her father's disappearance led to Senkha delving into books regarding journeys, travels and fairy tales where the missing person was discovered, whether the end was gruesome or positive. Not every book ended in this way, making the open ending without definite answer frustrating for the young girl. In between drowning her sorrows in books she helped her mother trade at local markets that were significantly less profitable but still something.


They worked on local market for months, awaiting for Omzaz to show up. However year after year started to pass with no new information that would give a definite answer to the women. They both were sad at Omzaz's disappearance but over time started to accept the fact that the rumors about unusually active beasts might've been true and he was one of their preys. However as they couldn't verify whether he was alive or dead they still awaited him. During their time Zaya also met a Senkh called Herr that fell in love with Zaya on the first sight.


This wasn't the most welcome news and she steadily refused Herr's advances but over time she started to soften and open up, letting the unusually persistent Senkh to bond deeper with her and Senkha. Senkha wasn't the most pleased about a new parent at first but having someone more to interact with steadily swiftly proven to be a sweet relief for her troubled mind. However in her young mind she still had her father's disappearance in mind and an itch to explore and learn more cultures. With that over time she collected specific goods that she would use for her traveling journeys, informing Zaya and Herr that she is preparing herself for adventuring, wanting to explore the world and perhaps learn what happened to her father.


This brought back Zaya's great sorrow that she had hidden deep within her heart about Omzaz but also she was extremely afraid of her daughter's well-being. With that she wasn't willing to let her go but also hoped that she would let go of her goal soon enough. Herr had a hard time giving any significant input as she understood them both. She believed that Senkha was old enough to decide for herself but wanted to have the young woman prove herself and her dedication towards the goal. With that she helped her convince Zaya to let Senkha travel if she so desired, as long as she proved to them she was able to handle herself in various situations.


That brought long-forgotten spark in Senkha's slithery eyes as she heard her mothers' demands. She picked up fighting at local training grounds, learning about local beasts and cultures of various species, some that she barely seen in her life so she knew what to expect. During her training she gathered her armor and a long sword that she believed was the most fitting for her. The training itself lasted 10 years before an ultimate exam was given to her by her parents. She had to bring claws of local beasts, score a tremendously good deal with local traders and prove her knowledge regarding the races that resided in Auria. She did it all in mere week, proving that she was ready to be on her own.


With heavy heart Zaya let her precious daughter go while Herr gave her adopted daughter a kiss on the forehead and a hug, encouraging her to come whenever she wanted or needed as she would never be rejected. With that starts Senkha's journey across Auria, in search of very rare trades, learning various races and maybe, by chance, finding her father.



Physical Appearance

Senkha is a pink-scaled Senkh that is 182 cm tall. She wears quite skimpy armor that does not hinder her movement and wields a long sword with one hand, leaving the other free for additional mobility. Her face resembles one of many Senkh but has over-average big amber eyes that help her with trading in rare occasions. On her waist she wears long cloth that is mimicking a long skirt, adjusted to whatever she prefers at the given moment. She also has a long tail with clearly pronounced nubs that were extremely hard and could do severe damage to unarmored target.
