Lyistra is.. well, Lyistra.
Name: Lyistra Mentana
Race: Enkidukai, Cheetah variety.
Personality: Helpful, a bit jaded, though, tender hearted, but sometimes entirely too skeptical. Retains a childlike sense of wonder about some things, and will sacrifice anything for those she considers a true friend. She also is very strong in Crystal Way, but deep-down fears to use any of that ability. In addition, Lyistra loves blades.. training in a fighting art that is as much art and dance, as combat. Her teacher, the esteemed Muareh-Scylrha, said she had lots of potential, but really needed to be more willing to be aggressive. She has an intense fear of closed-in spaces, and tends to be uneasy at best in dark, closed-in caverns. She carries her lyre, an eight-string Jhar`ath, with some specialized fretwork, nearly everywhere she goes. She is obsessive about learning new stories or music, and loves a well-spun tale.
Appearance: In appearance, Lyistra is approximately 5\'6\" tall, and has, rather than the usual cheetah colouring, darker fur, and tawny spots, the spots lightening toward her tummy. She usually has at least some kind of jewelry about, though often wears the minimal clothing that is required for her modesty. She collects Emphyry feathers, usually having three or four of the shimmering feathers woven into her waist-length hair. A couple of moth wings usually sit within that hair too, dyed with different colours.
Strengths: Stubborn as water and wind. She tends to protect everyone she can. She trains fiercely, and has good control of the two blades she almost always wields, a pair of enlarged kukhri style blades. She is fairly nimble on her feet, and with her paws, more wiry than brute force build. She has good hand-eye coordination.
Weaknesses: She tends to respond... poorly to having her friends threatened, and she has a temper. And sometimes her own self-doubt shows through, when she has private moments. She tends to be overly trusting, and often gets lost in just moving when she\'s in combat (imagine seeing a cheetah enki femme dancing, having forgotten she was just fighting, till the inspiration wore off, an unusual type of berserker at best). Tends toward distraction when something new happens that seems interesting.
Eye colour: Gold, with a splash of blue on the lower-right quadrant of the left eye.
Skin colour? You\'re going to shave her to find out? *chuckles*
