Name: Ashlin nó Valerian
Age: 16
Race: (D'Angeline)
Gender: Female
............................................
Appearance ~ Ashlin stands about 5'2" tall and has soft lines that camouflage a lean build. Her dark liquid eyes and her fine D'Angeline features are enhanced by the rich, creamy complexion she inherited from her mother. A heavy mass of smooth black hair hangs down her back to her narrow waist.
Personality ~ Ashlin is a unique blend of both the house she was born into as well as the house she has been dedicated to. A warm and sensual adept she is capable of being both a pleasant, engaging companion as well as being well versed in the arts of giving pleasure to her patrons. But it is through pain that her own true passion is brought to the surface. She submits willingly to her patrons, understanding the pleasure it brings them and feeling a empathetic pleasure in it herself. However to be truly dominated, taken to the brink as it were, is a fiery joy that often threatens to burn her patrons nearly as much as it does her. Among the other adepts she is known for her kind and gentle nature, but she has a inherent strength about her that no amount of demurring can hide. In her time at Jasmine House she could always be found in the company of her closest friend Henna, who's bright personality easily offset Ashlin's more subdued nature.
History~ Her mother had been an adept of Jasmine House and her father was a minor noble turned merchant who dealt in exotic woods from the east. Her father had been one of her mother's first patrons and had always held affection for her, as she did for him, but it had never quite gone to love. Her mother was deeply dedicated in her service to Naamah and so even though her father may have been willing to pay off her marque both knew that her mother would not leave Jasmine House even if he had. When Ashlin came along both had rejoiced for her birth and loved her deeply. Her father came to visit often, taking her for jaunts in the city starting at the youngest of ages.
From the first Ashlin had seemed immune to pain, almost never crying when injured and being largely unaffected by any corporal punishment she received for her misdeeds. Given this unexpected quality, it was her parents' great relief that these incidents were few and far between. As Ashlin approached her 6th birthday her father began to discuss her being tested in Valerian House. At first her mother resisted, but her father believed in the importance of his daughter being allowed to follow her own path in the service of Naamah regardless of where that might land her. Eventually her father prevailed and Ashlin was taken to be tested. A bright and gifted child she had immediately understood the nature of the test and was considered a good candidate for the house. However her mother had gained a single concession in her stubbornness. Ashlin would be permitted to continue the studies that would allow for her to return to Jasmine House if she should prove unhappy in Kushiel's service.
The weeks following Ashlin's 10th birthday were full of excitement and tears as she left her mother and best friend behind for her her new home in Valerian House. Once there she settled in quickly, the basic retinues of a House of The Night Court of Blooming Flowers easing her transition. Ashlin excelled in her studies and showed herself to be a willing and nearly model pupil. Everyone spoke of her great promise in the house but her mother remained unsure. Ashlin wrote to her constantly reassuring her mother of her happiness, and to her long time friend telling her in awe of all the exciting things that she was discovering. Now that she has finally turned 16, Ashlin is ready to make her debut.
