You see Tabubu.
She appears to be a Dhe'nar Dark Elf She is diminutive in height. She appears to be very young. She has sultry moonlight silver eyes and smooth, koa-toned skin. She has waist length, voluminous white blonde hair separated into a multitude of thin herringbone braids that hug the skull and are woven with thin sanguineous beads and blood-tipped raven feathers. She has a perfectly symmetrical, delicately featured face and an aquiline nose. She has bow-shaped lips with a natural upward curve at each corner. She has a triangle-framed open eye tattoo entwined in ivy on her wrist, and a wild black rose tattoo on her ankle.
Current Tattoos
A triangle-framed open eye tattoo entwined in ivy
Calligraphy-like strokes of ink permeate the smooth, koa-toned skin, lightening the dark with the incredibly detailed image of an open eye. An ivory triangle encircles the orbital, the hue matching the whites from which a dazzling purple iris rests with a dark pupil at its heart. Ivy vines in verdant green form a dark band around the entire piece, the hue of the leaves transitioning from green to gradient crimson hues.
An inked metallic spine partially hidden by corset-style lacing
The realism of this image is striking, with every line perfectly rendered to provide depth and clarity. The entire spine is depicted in a rich metallic sheen, lying gently atop the bones of the back. Beginning near the sides, a series of thorned vines interwoven with sanguineous laces slowly materialize and come together in intricately-laced knots across the entirety of the image.
A Dhe'nar'si Caste Tattoo
The spidery lines of this image have been driven deep into the skin. At the heart of the tattoo is a black rose, its form rendered somewhat indistinct by trailing lines of ink away from each petal and crook in the stem. Encircling the rose is a line of runes, intermingled with depictions of forms in meditation, or poised for battle. A third ring encloses the entire image, this one different in application and detail, as uneven lines bleed together into an indistinguishable blend of chaos.
A wild black rose
Gazing at the rose tattoo, you notice that this is a mystic tattoo of the third circle, which imbues her body with Power.
Known Background
Tabubu came from the jungles of Eh’lah and takes pride bring one of the pure blood;one of the First Born. She has been groomed to lead and to ascend beyond the Arkati. When one rises to walk the path of Power in The Way, you learn quickly that with this, comes great responsibility.
She was deemed worthy of the Temple Caste, Bathed in the Blood of Baptism. Her first eight years of life, she was raised in a community with others like herself. Unlike the others however, she was more in touch with the physical aspects of studies, to her it was a graceful dance. As far as her magical aspects they were considered odd and thought time would reveal if she was truly special or not. She was stronger than most and showed progress in different areas that fascinated the Elders.
As time progressed, She was then led into a strict regimen. She was shown the many flows of essence including the flows of divine power. But Tabubu would question everything and thus her teachers never felt she had the grasp needed for such accoutrements. It is believed this is what gave them cause of concern over her worthiness.
Then began the part of life where she faced the culling. She faced trials, which were carefully meted out by the Temple Caste, to gauge her tenacity, resolve, fledgling magical abilities, and ferocity.
Truth of ones Soul is found in every Dhe'nar's heart at this point. Lessons of the Warrior weighed heavily against the Way of the Temple. Hers was one of Divine spirituality, the need to learn and to become empowered with Knowledge. To prove to them that everyone can find their way, it is never to late. Su'dhaa na-gnosa. Gnosa na kris-a. Kris na su'ta
A point came when she had to leave Eh'lah. This brought her to Ta'Vaalor, and then her path found its Way to The Obsidian Tower.
