Name: Theresa nó Jasmine
Age: 16
Race: Caerdicci/D'Angeline
Gender:Female
Height: 5' 3"
Home Province/Country: Eisande
Appearance:
Theresa is a sweet girl, her features as lovely as they are exotic. Long, pin straight brown hair surrounds her soft chin and almond-shaped, steel-grey eyes. She is a short youth, standing at a mere 5' 3" apparently a trait handed down by her absent father. She is a lithe creature, her narrow waist, hips, and bust enhanced by the simple dresses she favors. Her skin is a soft, sun-kissed tan that never seems to fade, despite her best efforts. She has a runner's legs, long and lean, ending in a pair of small feet, undamaged despite her hard youth. Her hands are thin, but the fingers are short, another of her Caerdicci features. Her smile and laugh are soft but infectious, making her a joy when she is with others, although she can be withdrawn when around Caerdicci travelers.
History:
Theresa is a child of trickery, her "father" was one of a pair of Caerdicci brothers who had come through the small farming village trading Ch'in silks. With an impeccable charm one brother wooed the young, newly widowed woman. Soon drawing her up to his room where the wicked pair took advantage of her, leaving her drugged and broken the following morning.
Theresa's early childhood was a harsh one, her mother's will broken by the attack and the resulting difficult pregnancy. Her mother wasn't cruel, but every day Theresa's presence reminded her of the attack. Making her a distant and cold woman toward the innocent child. As Theresa grew aware of the sin her father had placed upon her she prayed every day for her past to be forgotten.
Then one summer, at the ripe age of ten, a priestess of Naamah stumbled upon the young girl. The child was now a curious and precocious creature, asking the woman a myriad of questions. It wasn't long that the young girl poured her heart out to the older woman and the solution was obvious. The priestess soon went to Theresa's mother and reached an agreement, she would take the child and make her an servant of Naamah, thinking the child's unusual appearance would endear her to an old friend.
Soon after her visit Theresa was whisked away to the city of Elua, the Dowanye of Jasmine house taking a liking to the exotic-looking child strait away. She was a quick study, throwing her whole heart into learning Naamah's works. Now sixteen, she nerviously approaches her first assignation.
