Name: Malabelle Shahrizai
Race: d'Angeline
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Description: Malabelle, or Mala as most call her, is a perfect rendering of all that it is to be Shahrizai. Her blue-black hair hangs in waves to the small of her back, but one need only glimpse her eyes to know the purity of her heritage. Standing at 5'5", she is lithe and predatory, moving with the grace of an animal always on the hunt.
History: Mala's life until she was four was that of a typical Shahrizai, or so she is told, remembering very little of her life before the death of her parents. At their death, Mala and her nine year old brother Dominic were given into the guardianship of their great uncle Augustus Shahrizai.
Gus, an outcast and recluse, took Dominic under his wing using Dominic as a surrogate for the son who had abandoned Gus. He mostly ignored Mala, except for the way his gaze would lick at her whenever she was around him. Mala never knew exactly what was shared between them, knowing only that her brother began to look at her the same way as her great uncle.
Yet, it did not end with looks for Dominic, Mala began to find herself the target of Dominic's ministrations. While many girls would have balked at such a thing, Mala's blood sang with the power she felt over her brother. She had chaffed at being treated as hardly more than a servant by her great uncle, and now her great uncle's prodigy was obsessed with her.
Dominic left the estate when he turned 16, leaving Mala basically alone with Gus. She spent the time either avoiding her great uncle, or sneaking into his library and studying the books he had collected on the dark arts of pleasure.
When Mala was 14, Gus died and Dominic returned to the estate. Dominic had changed in his time away, becoming even more like their great uncle, and Mala was unsure of the lengths to which her power over him remained. She was soon to find out though, as Dominic would often climb into her bed at night, enticing her into acts not meant for a brother and sister. For all this though, when her own 16 natal arrived, her virginity remained intact.
Wanting to experience life at court herself, one night in bed Mala manipulated Dominic into granting her leave to visit the City. Once there, she chaffed at the sweet innocence of the other noble 'children' as she saw them and their games of courtship far more than she had ever done even growing up at the estate. She yearned for her first visit to Valerian and when the opportunity finally came she spent and entire day locked away with an adept. So long denied were her desires, and so full of power was she, that she drove the adept to near death and left him damaged for a year and he left Valerian House as soon as he was well. The Dowayne was so furious, she banned Mala from Valerian for two years.
Furious at the banishment and still chaffing at the sweetness of the City, Mala began to travel, going as far as Tiberium where she studied for two years. She has continued her games of flesh and power, yet still holding tightly to her virginity, knowing how Dominic longs for it. She is intellegent and cunning, an ideal of her lineeage.
Word of the tragedies that have befallen her homeland have peeked her interest and drawn her back to Terra d'Ange, the City of Elua, and Dominic.
