Description
Keya looks both unsettling and unsettled. She possesses the darkest
charcoal-colored eyes, her skin is white as frost and her stature is
fragile and elongated, framed by long slightly wavy flaxen hair that
reaches down to her waist. She is by no measure pretty, if anything,
she could be perceived as a tad creepy. Underneath all the armor, Keya
wears a blue overdress, girdled around her waist. The dress is opened
around the sides, so that you can reach under it, where she keeps a sack
with her valuables and a dagger, with which she is noticeably uneasy. That
may be a reason why her mannerism is a little too hasty, her expression
nervous and a little shy.

Born the oldest child to a mother of three, Keya had no father and her
mother was constantly working to provide for the family of four.
Consequently Keya found herself looking after her younger siblings, her
brother Roland and her sister Faya. Tutoring them in what little she had
learned herself of the ways of villages surrounding the Udgaard city and in
her short time in education, preparing food for them and keeping them out
of trouble. Things went on like this for years, until she reached the age
of fourteen, when things, as they like to do, changed.
It was a cold night, the chilling air whistled through the damaged door
when he arrived, a man clad in black, a disgruntled customer of her
mother's, he brought the door down with one strike of his boot against the
rotten wood and stepped inside, sword in hand, he claimed that mother had
stolen from him, taken his coin purse in the middle of the night, stole
away with it like a common thief. But mother would never steal, or at
least, that was what Keya thought.
The man grabbed Keya's mother by her hair, throwing her across the room,
and leaving her face bloodied and her eye black, with one mighty swing he
cut her from cheek to waist, leaving only the stain of blood on the wall.
He was about to leave when it happened, without thinking, Roland did what
he promised never to do.
Magic can be a rare sight, but both Keya and her brother had these, gifts.
Although hers were of a shapeshifting nature, Roland's abilities were much
more violent, in conjuring up laps of flames from his hands and sending
them rushing towards the assailant, catching his fur coat and setting it
alight in a blaze of intense heat.
The man sent his own sword flying across but he missed Roland and stuck it
into the wall. It wasn't long before the man succumbed to Roland's flames,
and left this world. Leaving Keya, cradling the screaming baby Faya in her
arms and Roland, staring down at the blackened palms of his hands. Then the
guards came, taking Roland away to the Imperial Justice Hall and executing
him for the unauthorized use of magic...
Faya

Years passed. Keya lived alone with Faya, her shapeshifting magics making
enough money to keep a small abode and to put food on the table for her
little sister. At this age, Faya had to almost completely rely on her older
sister. However, despite how it appeared on the surface, Keya relied on
Faya just as much. Faya always seemed to keep a smile on her sister's face.
That was a peaceful moment in Keya's life, though she did not realize that
at the time. Keya was mostly content, though she had always aspired to do
and be more, she wanted to be known for something - not simple fame or any
glory of fortune, but for, something greater than herself and her humble
beginnings.
Both the peaceful moment and the ambition to be something greater quickly
took the back seat when one night Faya simply disappeared...
