Name: Xanthe (Greek for 'Golden')
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance: Standing at 5'3", Xanthe is slim, with a neat figure and mid-width hips. Her hair is short in front, jaw length, but in back goes to her shoulders, flashing dark-gold streaks on darker brown. Her eyes are the same dark gold, with long, black lashes under straight brows. She has a small, straight nose set over large but pale lips, which are more golden than red. She has a scar under her left eye, the reminder of a knife wound from a man who didn't particularly like one of the songs she sang at his Hold. Her complexion is always pale, no matter how much time she spends in the sun, but attractively so, tinted yellow-gold. She has a fondness for wearing black and white, and adores lace. Her usual outfit is the same as this, but with a long, sweeping skirt of the same design as her left sleeve. The outfit pictured is for combat training. She carries a long wooden staff which, if you twist the handgrip at the center, produces blades twelve inches long from each end.
Personality: Xanthe is rather, ah, unique. She is laid-back, but dramatic, keen, and talented- and sarcastic. Mischevious, she never passes up the chance to poke fun at someone. She always has several knives on her person, but you'll never see them- if you're lucky. She certainly knows how to use them. Among her other talents is the ability to break almost any code or cipher (she views it as a game, and she hates to lose), rather impressive combat skills, accomplished acting, and sarcasm. A lot of sarcasm. She enjoys reading, training, flirting, and being her unique self. Please don't give her sugar, as it gives her an excuse to let herself be hyperactive even though the substance doesn't actually compel her to do so.
History: Xanthe hails from the Harper Hall, where she as trained since the age of five after being orphaned. A low alto with a range stretching from the mid-low notes to the mid-high, without being able to hit either extreme, she is a talented singer and lyrist (player of the lyre). She was promoted from apprentice to journeywoman at age fifteen, and was promoted to masterharper level a single day before she was Searched by a Bluerider on patrol.
How is he/she unique: Xanthe is incredibly quick-witted, with a beautiful singing voice (even though she is an alto) and great talent at playing the lyre. She is an accomplished actress, can break almost any cipher, and let us hope you never have to find out about her combat skills. On the downside, her sarcasm and easy humor can get annoying and she does have a temper, if you manage to find it.
