Name: Khyellomai nó Gentian (key-el-owe-may, Illyrian meaning lost one)
Age: Approximately 22
Height: 5'11"
Gender: Female
Race: Presumably D’Angeline
Home Province: Unknown
Appearance: Khyellomai is as mysterious in her appearance as she is in her background. Her hair is varying shades of light and golden blond, in the summer it lightens with shades of white like sand on a beach. It falls to the base of the marquee she has begun in luxurious thick curls. Her face and body are a composition of soft thin curves. If that were not enough to gather your attention you may try looking her in the eyes. They are a sparkling topaz with a dark chocolate ring outlining them. More often than not she brings an air of weightlessness with her, carrying herself with a grace that is renowned to the Night Court.
Personality: As a girl Khyel was constantly tormented in Illyria, for her looks obviously, but also for the odd things she would say when she spoke. Even more for her silence when she didn’t. She was never without scrutiny; which was a large factor in forming her personality. Khyel values skill, and is interested in learning any and all knowledge. I conversation with her is likely to cover who, what, when, where or undoubtedly WHY. This leads one to believe she is of Shemhazai. This thirst for knowledge makes her a great conversationalist and avid listener. Not to mention a great companion for fetes, trips and simple outings. There is no disguising the peculiar feelings she can stir, but as an adult she takes pride in it, and uses her many acquired skills to her advantage.
History: Khyellomai is presumable D’Angeline. Though there is no known record of her existence in Terre d’Ange. At that time she was about 5 years old. Her only account of her life until that point was of playing in a large pasture. In the distance she saw a large group traveling by. Her curiosity got the better of her and she wonder closer. They looked funny and spoke funny and gave her a funny little doll and some water. Nothing remains in her memory until a boat, and feeling terribly ill, the sky bore down and threw the boat until it broke and everything disappeared. When she did awake she was on a beach and an old unfamiliar face stared down at her speaking another jumble of words she had not heard before. She was found unconscious on the small island of Paio in Illyria by a humble tradesman named Appa. She spoke no word of Illyrian and they knew not else to establish her nationality. It was merely assumed that one with such beauty came from the land of angels. They simply called her Khyellomai, meaning lost one. She was with Appa and his wife Merrila for a few years. During her third year Appa took the family with him on a trade visit to Epidaro, hoping to find a new home in the city. It is not easy to start in a new city and they feel on hard times. Khyel often times hung around the dock with Appa so Merrila could work as at a city bath house. One day as a ship was docking and a D’angeline woman by the name Nicola Tessier ran across Khyel playing hide and seek in a stack of barrels. She was struck by her beauty and inquired to Appa on how she came to be on a dock in Illyria. After meeting the Khyel and hearing her story Nicola was convinced she was kidnapped and she should return to Terre d’Ange. Appa and Merrila were saddened by the thought but after talking with her decided it was in her best interest. The woman explained the opportunity that was available to her in Terre d’Ange. And after a year of trying to find Khyel’s family Nicola brought her to the Night Court of Blooming Flowers. It was obvious from the beginning that Khyel held the gift of vision and wisdom. Nicola knew she was gifted when she greeted her on the dock as 'Madame Tessier'. It was enough to start asking Khyel more questions. To which she found interesting and insightful answers. In the short time she was in Nicola's care Khyel was surprised by little. Often following with a sincere 'I know'. Nicola discovered her gift came to her in her dreams, often from messengers. Khyel began telling her the happenings of her dreams and the stories of strangers who would come to her in them, later meeting these people and discovering their stories. Like déjà vu with meaning. So at the age of 9 she began her training in Gentian. She blossomed throughout her training. Becoming whole and truly a striking adept of the Night Court.
