Name: Sunita de Laurent
Age: 16
Race (Lineage Origin): half d'Angeline, half Bhodistani
Gender: Female
Height: 5'6
Home Province/Country: L'Agnace, Terre d'Ange
Appearance:
Half Bhodistani and half d'Angeline, Sunita's face has an unmistakable stamp of the exotic. Her features are softer and less angular than a typical d'Angeline, and her skin is tawny-hued. Her eyes are large and dark with long eyelashes, and her innocent smile comes readily.
History:
Sunita was born in Bhodistan but spent most of her early years being moved from place to place. Her father, Anton de Laurent, was a merchant for many years, bringing spices from Bhodistan to Caerdicca Unitas. When he was 45, he met and fell in love with Sunita's mother, Parvati, whose Bhodistani family history is unknown. They married and had two children, then continued sailing trade routes until Anton had earned enough money to retire.
They settled in a humble farming community in l'Agnace, far enough away from the City of Elua for the children to have a sheltered, simple upbringing. Sunita never had any formal education. Instead, her mother and brother taught her basic skills, and she spent most of her time doing chores around the farm and doing creative projects alone. She often played with her brother and children from the neighboring farm, but outside of that, she had no exposure to society.
But time passed, and Anton's health began to decline as he aged. The small estate proved to be less profitable than expected. Year after year, expenses ate into the family's savings, and Anton knew he would be unable to leave enough to provide for his family after his death.
And so he sent his children away to find greater opportunities. Virender, the eldest, chose to pursue his father's former career in trade. But Sunita had always shown subtle talent in the arts, and her parents' stories of adventure made her long to experience more than farm life had to offer. Eager but somewhat unprepared, she set out for the City of Elua to look for an apprenticeship.
