She has a pair of silver-hued wings.
Some nebula-set starveil earcuffs scattered with diminutive astral sapphire constellations trace her ears, the swirls of jewels and metal glinting in points of silver and pewter.
She has a starry blue constellation tattoo on her neck, a blue and ivory dagger tattoo on her wrist, and a silvery blue sparrow tattoo on her wrist.
She is wearing:

-a midnight blue silk fan appliqued with swirling gold constellations
-a a pristine white lace fan intricately slatted in midnight black filigree
(The pristine white lace fan remains central and is framed by a deep, midnight blue sky speckled with shimmering bits of starveil representing stars.  The contrast of colors highlights the painted, tiny sparrows still dancing mid-flight, their feathers glistening subtly in the masterfully feigned starlight.  A crescent moon resides in one corner, its emblazoned silvery light complementing parts of the lace fan and highlighting its intricate patterns.)
-a tri-layered black rusylka half-skirt traced in starveil wirework
-an azure starsilk case with ornate starveil edging

Kashira Swiftwing: Backstory

Early Life and Heritage

Kashira Swiftwing was born into the Vaer'sah Clan on Bre'Naere, a community of Aelotoi suffering under the harsh domination of the Kiramon. Enslaved from a young age, Kashira’s world was one of constant hardship and surveillance. Despite the grim reality of her captivity, she found a small escape through dance. When the Kiramon were distracted or complacent, Kashira would secretly perform for her fellow captives. These fleeting moments of grace became a beacon of hope, a rare source of joy in their grim existence, and a means to keep morale from completely faltering. Kashira’s parents, determined to shield their daughter from the worst of the Kiramon’s cruelty, engaged in a perilous attempt to secure her freedom. Their plan was fraught with danger. They risked everything to organize a clandestine meeting with an underground network that could potentially aid in Kashira’s escape. During one such risky operation, their plans were betrayed by an informant within the captive ranks who had been coerced into revealing the details of their resistance. On the night of the planned escape, as Kashira’s parents attempted to smuggle her out through a hidden route, Kiramon enforcers ambushed them. The scene was chaotic: the clash of steel, the shouts of resistance, and the anguished cries of a desperate struggle. Kashira's father was captured while trying to fend off the guards, and her mother was seized while attempting to lead Kashira to safety. The last thing Kashira saw was her mother’s determined face, and the haunting realization that their sacrifice might not be enough. Though Kashira was successfully smuggled to Elanthia by the Rogues' Guild, her parents' fates were grimly uncertain. She knew too well the brutal consequences for those who defied the Kiramon. Their desperate act of defiance came at a tremendous cost, leaving Kashira with a profound sense of loss and an indelible drive to make the most of the new life she had been granted.


Life with the Rogues' Guild

Upon arriving in Elanthia, Kashira was taken in by the Rogues' Guild. To blend in and conceal her Aelotoi heritage, she used a fan to mask her distinct features, always carrying a backup fan for emergencies. Her wings, a hallmark of her kind, were meticulously hidden to avoid drawing unwanted attention. In the Guild, where many viewed her kind with suspicion, she had to work tirelessly to fit in, navigating the prejudices against her while striving to make a place for herself. To honor her parents and channel her pain into something positive, Kashira devoted countless hours to perfecting her dance skills. She integrated the rhythmic grace she had practiced in captivity with the more formal techniques taught by her mentors. By day, she practiced dance with relentless precision, and by night, she trained in combat, mastering the art of the bladed fighting fans. Her dual focus was driven by a desire to forge her path of freedom and to ensure that her parents' sacrifice would not be in vain. Her secrecy and adaptability were crucial. Her dedication did not go unnoticed; her unique blend of grace and skill attracted the attention of the enigmatic Sparrows of the Night Queen. These elusive figures recognized her potential and began training her in the ancient and clandestine arts of their order.


The Call of the Sparrow

The Sparrows of the Night Queen, a shadowy and prestigious order, were renowned for their exquisite blend of dance and combat, as well as their secrecy. Kashira’s exceptional talent and unwavering dedication caught their eye. She was invited into their ranks, where she underwent rigorous training, learning the intricate dance forms and combat techniques that defined the Sparrows. The training was intense, with her spending countless hours refining her dance by day and her combat skills by night. The Sparrows valued discretion and secrecy, teaching her to navigate the world of shadows while mastering the art of blending beauty with lethality.

The Sparrows of the Night Queen required vethinye—a rare material known for its powerful enchantment-enhancing properties—to advance their mystical operations. Recognizing Kashira Swiftwing’s potential, her officers assigned her a trial mission they felt was well-suited for an aspiring Aelotoi: to acquire this precious resource from Lord Orlinthar, a wealthy Ta'Nalfein politician notorious for his bigotry towards the Aelotoi. Orlinthar held a substantial cache of vethinye in a heavily guarded vault within his opulent estate.

Kashira meticulously planned the heist, gathering intelligence on the estate’s layout and arcane defenses. Disguised as a high-society guest at a grand party hosted by Orlinthar, she used her agility and stealth to avoid detection. Her fans, which concealed her Aelotoi features, were crucial in maintaining her disguise. To bypass the estate’s guards, Kashira employed her persuasive dance skills. At a pivotal moment, she captivated the guards with an enchanting performance and subdued them with her combat techniques. Accessing the vault now at her fingertips, she overcame intricate wards and enchantments with her tool set, and swiftly retrieved the vethinye.

This successful heist not only demonstrated her exceptional abilities but also solidified her role within the organization, marking a significant milestone in her journey. Kashira was promoted to the rank of Sparrow and given lathonian armor, as well as a cut of the procured vethinye. She integrated the rare metal into her fighting fans, significantly enhancing their magical properties, and used the remaining vethinye to accent her new set of tailored armor. Kashira adorned her brigandine with intricate designs representing the constellations of her birth world, in remembrance of her parents. After, Kashira was soon dispatched from the courts of Ta'Nalfein to Wehmir's Landing on a crucial mission, a testament to the trust and esteem she had garnered within the order. Her task involved gathering intelligence, protecting vital interests, and ensuring the safety of key individuals, all while keeping her true purpose an elusive presence in the shadows.
