Appearance (1-2 Paragraphs): Thalia is flame and gold haired with eyes grey as a clouded sky set in an oval face. She possesses a slender but curvy figure. Upon her neck rests a small knot work pendant of a silver hue that she does not like to remove but if asked to she always keeps it near her as she had been told it once belonged to her mother. Her petite stature gives her the air of delicacy, but often things far from delicate can be seen in the flash of her intense gaze.
Personality (1-2 Paragraphs): Thalia for the most part is mild mannered unless you say something that touches a nerve. Then she has the temper of a hell cat but she tries to hold it within to avoid making a scene. At times she is known for a rebellious streak that often gets her in trouble. She is keen to learn and soaks up knowledge like a sponge. Thalia can be quite insecure due to her history but she covers it with a manner of aloofness when she doesn’t want to let anyone in. For her assignations are not just about pleasing her patrons but also to put her in a place to battle her inner demons as a servant of Naamah.
History (At least 2 detailed Paragraphs):Thalia stood by a window in Valerian House staring out at the rain that fell in torrents, her long hair hiding her face in curly tendrils. Her eyes narrowed as her mind drew her back to childhood. Her mother she had never known as she had died at her birth. Her father was D’Angeline who had fallen for an Eiren woman who he had met on a voyage to the shores of Alba and had brought her to the shores of his home. He was not one fit for the raising of children and left her mostly to her own means and devices and to be raised by the housekeeper of their home.
He also had that pulling urge that many Tsingano fall to of going wherever the wind would take him.
When she was about five summers old he left again for Alba this time not planning on returning. He sold their home and left her on the doorstep of Valerian House without so much as a goodbye. Valerian House took her in reluctantly unsure of if she would she possessed the tendencies their house required. She spent her growing years learning what was required of a fosterling all the while hoping that one day her father would remember the child he had abandoned and return for her.
When he did not she immersed herself within the house even forgetting the last name she had been given at her birth.
When she had lived for fourteen summers someone had knocked over a vase and had missed a few shards in the cleaning up of it. Thalia had stepped upon them in her bare feet and though she had felt pain as they cut into her flesh but somewhat else followed. Kushiel made himself known in the rush in her veins. Not marked by him by any means but the tendency was there for what he reigned over.
Thalia was taken to the Temple of Naamah to take the vows that all Servants of Naamah do and experienced something that awed her, the goddess made her presence known and for the first time in her life Thalia felt as if someone loved her. She took refuge in the teachings of Naamah and felt a joy in serving her.
Brought back to herself by a loud crack of thunder and flash of lightning outside Thalia shook her memories away and instead moved her thoughts to the matter of an assignation she would face later that day and the thought of the lashing that would surely come soothed her.
