Yulina

Main article: Yellow Pages

Name: Yulina
Age: 31
Race: wick (Black Hand)
Place of Origin: somewhere in Southern Anaxas

Backstory:

Yulina was, by all appearances, as cute as a button as a young witch. Behind her big green eyes, black hair, and innocent smile, however, was the kind of child who liked to torture small animals with sharp objects when no one was looking. She also liked gossip and dissent. She spent a lot of time in trouble, or at least causing it between others.

As she grew, however, it was not so much her cruel bent that led her to drift from her tribe, for her budding skills with scrying and magic kept her useful and appreciated, at least from a distance. It was her insatiable thirst for knowledge that eventually led her to grow dissatisfied. Once she felt she had learned all she could from her own people, she packed up and left them without so much as a goodbye.

There was more to know, and she had to find it.

Eventually, after some various travels and studies across Anaxas with whoever would teach and tolerate her, she found her way into the Bad Brothers, where she knew her talents could blossom, grow, and be appreciated. She also knew there was more knowledge to be found underground than above, so to speak.

Personality:

Yulina is intelligent and calculating. She is not outwardly sinister, but does nothing to hide it. She can come across as conceited, but she knows how to work charm into her deception when necessary. Has a cruel bent towards others she views as weaker than herself. This is obvious in her distinct love of torture - when scrying fails, she is content to wrest information from the living in person.

A good listener, especially when it comes to conversations she's not supposed to be a part of. She is also a smooth, deceptive talker when the need arises.

Knowing she's not built for physical combat does not keep her from speaking up when the need arises, especially when she's still quite the student of magic, for a witch. She enjoys baiting when she knows she has the magical advantage. Otherwise, she relies on others' muscles to make up for the problems she occasionally causes.

Yulina is always thirsting for information; it's a driving obsession more than just an idle curiosity.

She takes her position as "the brains" very seriously.

Physical Description:

Tall, model-thin but lithe, and porcelain-pale without freckles. She could even be of Giorian decent, somewhere back in her family tree. Vibrant green eyes and black hair, worn in a number of chin-length braids. A deep, thin scar runs from ear-to-ear across her face, over the bridge of her nose, and under her eyes. She has no tattoos, and no other scars. It is rumored the one on her face is self-induced, a product of her own method of scrying or perhaps her magical studies.

Prefers short form-fitting dresses in black with high collars and thigh-high boots, usually with some accentuating piece of jewelry in emerald green to match her eyes. A mid-drift wide-sleeved black leather jacket with over-sized silver buttons usually completes her outfit.

She loves knives and daggers and other sharp instruments of physical harm, maybe a little too much.

Inventory:

Weapons:

• Several throwing daggers, small, and hidden
• Various sharp objects for torture, carried in a small satchel on her person

Stuff:

• Spoke's Almanac
• Various scrying equipment, with the more portable items with her at all times

Career

Hench-Witch

• Excellent scryer, covering many methods
• Skilled in wick magic, especially since her passion includes unpublished spell research and study
• Intimidation (verbal, psychological)/Torture (for information purposes, of course)

Goals

Further develop the art of Scrying. Discover and master new spells. Serve the Bad Brothers as an information gatherer and rid them of the Drain problem for good. Stay alive in doing so. Possibly enjoy torturing people whenever the chance arises.
