Name: Tsovia (tso FEE ah)

Gender/Expression/Preference: Female / She/Her / Bi

Age: Adult

Species: Majiri

Family: unknown, a bit left behind her

Friends/Associates: "Moths, Two Aflame" friends and lovers

Height: 5'8"; Build: seems taller than she is but that might be because of the hair

Hair: brilliant white, kinked and frizzy, usually kept free but when she isn't performing or trying to look fantastic she'll keep it out of her face with a thick braid or a big clip making her look like she's got a muujin's mane; quite long particularly if pulled straight, down to past her ample rear

Eyes: Pale blue, nearly white, large and with heavy lids, perfected wing liner

Appearance: pale violet skin with a shiny look, no hint of any scars but she does freckle in an almost periwinkle shade (difficult to see but 'worth seeing') when she's been in sunlight. Darker blue-violet lips; longer ears but they're often hidden under her hair. Nose is very straight and pointed; She is almost always smiling and looks genuinely happy most of the time; Tsovia tends to wear dresses and skirts rather than pants, though for functionality day by day they are shorter and don't have frills. However her 'stage costume' as shown is quite fancy and looks very flower-like, with the added high-rise shoulders, big thick furry mane around her neck, and a mothwing style cape behind. All of this is silk except the fur, of course... Adds flowers and sometimes even live moths, sometimes the live moths come for the flowers...; Voice is clear, somewhat deep and husky, but she can laugh loudly, and sharply yell if needed; She has the scent of night-blooming jasmine

Skill Set: Musician duties including all manner of vocal abilities. She sings from a mezzo-soprano center but can reach much higher, and even much lower range than most women. She also plays the harp (usually small hand-held, but can sit down and play a full sized one), various chimes and unusual instruments, and has a passing knowledge of keyboard use though prefers non-powered types of instruments overall. As the leader of the group, she has experience with meet and greets, and taps Najwa's sources for venue use, Ouahid for going on the road safely, and keeping everyone happy along the way. She is quite good with wrangling large local musical groups, and clearly has a good composing skill since she often will conduct those groups as though they're a disparate or piecemeal orchestra to great effect. In fact some number of small local groups have had their origin based on how well they worked as backup in such a large group!

Former Path: possibly an apothecary or training for herbalism with a strong side of insect research. She still taps this education and is obviously still very interested in it, but not as her main focus, and more as a backup plan. She's discussed this with others in the group, and they agree that while they are musicians to the core, at some point they'll probably want to retire from stage and performances and will want something else to fall back on. Hers will be to provide medicinal herbs, but also likely dyes, fibers, and other such things from gathered plants and creatures.

Current Path: Musician; this is where she truly shines, and where her heart has always been. She claims that she's always heard the bellflowers and butterflies singing, and can do her best to emulate their call. To profound effect as well, since others with Paths and careers that might involve those things claim they can always close their eyes and feel the subject under their fingers or in their hearts when she begins singing.

Star Stone: Sapphire, the Artist is alive and well in her! She has never lorded this Star Stone over anyone, and even those who aren't 'from the Artistic side' she unfailingly encourages. Anything can be art, she claims, from designing just the right layout of crops to casting the correct lure at the right distance when fishing. She has an appreciation for the artistry of such work.

Seasonal Type: Air, born in the Fall under the Waning Crescent of the large moon Luna; while this would typically indicate her Path would be obvious, her family seemed to have other ideas and strongly encouraged her to focus on 'work' - and not the kind that would allow her to be as creative as she is. The effort of an apothecary is certainly impressive, but one doesn't tend to use new ingredients nor mix in different ways than expected, to perform those duties for healing. But her true calling, as well as her Star Stone, helped her live up to her full potential, as she is everything that a Sapphire can be: creative, bold, dramatic, and often overly emotional. She stood up for not only her own decisions, but that of at least two others in this group, to help them get past the idea that changing Paths was 'wrong'.

Personality Traits: “I never stopped catching moths, they love the spotlight too!” Above and beyond any of her own high level of talent, Tsovia loves to see others get their time in the spotlight, and won't hesitate to back them up should they falter. She's almost 'matronly' at times, being raised by healers would probably explain that, but also she trusts the people she loves, and would never betray theirs.

Creature Association: the Cerulean Cicada, which is described as having a call so soothing that a great composer (Ayana) based their fourth symphony upon it; while this cicada clings to trees in Bahari it apparently is also known to inhabit part of the Umbraan lands as well.

Favorite Food: Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms, steaming hot! She knows how to find the right mushrooms, and sometimes does claim that 'this area' (outside of her homeland) lacks certain sizes or types of them. But if she's picked it you know you'll be able to eat it. They usually have a good slab of meat ready to be thin-sliced and fried up for this purpose, and even if she generally cooks 'salves and ointments' this is one dish that she could serve to an entire concert crowd and they would love it too.

Place of Origin: Umbraa, it's guessed anyway by her knowledge of the area's flora and fauna, but she doesn't specifically say from what village or city, and doesn't really seem that happy about being grilled about it. She isn't too keen on returning on retirement there, but possibly anywhere around the kingdoms could support such a trade. Whether she left beause of the wars, a natural disaster, or anything else, it's impossible to say or get her to describe.

Events or History: Mostly as above, she was a young teenager when she 'rebelled' against the idea of becoming an herbalist like her family desired, and wasn't much older when she decided to start off on her own across the continent. She collected this assortment of musicians, one at a time starting with Najwa, and they have been both fast friends and physical companions ever since.

She was never really a 'religious' sort, but they will all participate in singing and the musical rituals of any given location, as she has an extensive knowledge of those songs for praising Maji the Dragon and even the Phoenix, Embra. It was through some of those activities that she learned how to fully exploit a location for its sound, as well as where they picked up at least one of their Galdur - the sound engineer Etrih. And once they all hit their stride and began touring, they added a second robotic companion Daton, as the Galdur was expertly able to capture images and reproduce them quickly enough for them to turn a tidy profit after shows! And profit? Well that's managed by their Grimalkin partner in (crime) business Zane.
