- Full Name: Asha Fenira Nazari. She simply goes by Asha, although some nickname her 'Ash'.
- Age: 26.
- Gender: Female.
- Race: Qadir, infected with the Ombratore bloodline.
- Main Ambition: Popularity and adoration.
- She wishes to maintain the adoration of others while keeping her bloodline hidden; she enjoys challenge. She also wishes to make herself known to others as the most beautiful and extravagant woman alive.
Asha and her brother have been here for but a few months, arriving a few weeks before the Lo occupation. They travelled in search of opportunity, but in Asha's case, partly also to keep rumours of her vampirism to a minimum after suspicions picked up in her town in Farah'd. Asha shares a house with her brother Saud on the surface, yet neither of them amass significant wealth. Asha has found herself without a job in Regalia, and has a difficult time adjusting to Regalian means of earning wealth due to her slightly dishonourable job in prostitution in Farah'd.
Asha was raised tightly alongside her twin brother Saud by her legitimate parents in the Faraddi deserts. The entire family lived a very nomadic, travelling life before slavery became an issue. Asha's extended family is very much unknown as the only her immediate family traveled together, the rest scattered throughout the deserts or deceased. On top of gaining popularity, Asha has a desire to beat her brother in their monthly competitions. It's a tradition they carried out ever since their vampiric infections, and a means of judging who makes the best use of their charms and abilities to get their way; in short, a way to keep their abilities sharp.

A smaller ambition of hers is learning what non-platonic love is, as many describe this but she assumes it to be the same love as the love she feels for her brother, which is more platonic. She finds it slightly disturbing how somebody could sleep with someone they love in that way, and therefore strives to at least understand the concept.
Visual Information
- Eye Color: A brown so dark it almost resembles black. When feeding or using innate abilities, however, they shift into a bright crimson.
- Hair Color: Raven black.
- Hair Style: A frizzy, long mane of hair with red beads woven into it near her hairline, and otherwise left flowing freely down her back.
- Skin Color: Heavily tanned, naturally brown skin. Typical colour of a Qadir.
- Clothing: Revealing and colourful, often using reds, burgundys and oranges.
- Height: 5'3, or 160 cm.
- Weight: 115 lbs or 53 kg.
- Body Build: Femmefatale, with endomorphic features.
- Weapon of Choice: Innate vampiric abilities and her charm and appearance.
- Asha's face is what would generally be recognised as pretty, although her beauty leans more towards sexual appeal than what would be considered 'adorable' and 'cute'. Her chin is finely pointed, her eyes evenly placed in either side of her button nose, and her lips are plump and slightly larger than an Ailor's. Her eyebrows are very dark in colour and rest closely near her eyes, giving her the stern appearance typical of Qadir, eyes shadowed and often looking slimmed and judgmental.
- Her Qadiriq irises are a deep dark chocolate brown when light is shined directly at them or when she is in sunshine, but in dim light or darkness they look practically black, like two circles of void peering back at you. When using her innate abilities, her eyes turn a deep, almost glowing crimson red to anybody but her victim. Her eyelashes are thick and dark, the same colour of her hair, which is raven black with no highlights. Asha's skin is a healthy brown, typical of that of a Qadir yet slightly more tanned near the her shoulders and thighs due to her past nomadic lifestyle.
- Asha's hair is a frizz of black curls and waves, almost always pushed and woven backwards to prevent her wayward curls from springing into her eyes or otherwise disrupting her vision. Her hair when straightened reaches to well around her tailbone, but due to its natural curls it hangs near the small of her back and additionally grows very fast due to her Qadir heritage, and therefore has to be frequently cut resulting in healthy, non-split ends. Near her hairline, crimson and red wooden pearls are woven into her hair for a little colourful appeal.
- Without fail, Asha's body is one that many women would be envious of, and therefore one mostly used for seduction. While she is reasonably tall, standing at 5'11, she has her fat in all the right places and otherwise looks well thin, yet is far from as bony as a Nelfin. She doesn't have any substantial muscles in her arms, yet does have reasonable strength in her thighs and lower abdominals. Although body hair grows quickly, she's not squeamish when it comes to waxing and has a session every other week or so.
- Delicate and feminine, her body is adorned with henna-patterned tattoos all over, focused more towards the left side of her body compared to her right. It's in black ink, but has slightly faded and therefore looks more like a natural addition to her skin with a slightly greyish brown colour to it. Cog and gear-like patterns are integrated into the swirls and circles, staying true to the typical tattooing patterns of Qadir. Additionally, she has the Qadiriq words "Spring's Pride" tattooed on the inner part of her right arm.
- Asha's clothing style could be summarised as free-flowing and revealing, if nothing else, and in bright colours contrasting her skin. Her common wear consists of a crop top-length pink and white blouse, hanging loosely around her arms that are otherwise bare. Around her waist are two belts, hardly holding up her low-waisted blue striped trousers that end just below her knees. On her feet she wears black, metal-ended boots, with a striking red line across their top.
- In terms of accessories and tattoos, she doesn't wear a little amount. In each earlobe she carries a golden hoop, and additionally her bellybutton is pierced with two golden studs that often dangle a little charm from them. She wears three necklaces, one a slave-collar-like one with orange glass gems, another of pearls and a third with small black seashells on it. On her left hand she wears three golden rings, one on her thumb and two on her index finger. In her right hand she almost always carries a string of orange beads with a tassel on the end. While not religious, she's come to put meaning into each pearl and treasures it greatly.
- Almost innately, Asha's voice has some sensation of lust laced into it, even if she doesn't mean to aim to seduce. Rather deep for a woman's, her voice is often rather soft and velvety, and she prefers to keep to a whisper rather than be loud and rambunctious, and hardly ever is she strikingly bold in her speech. When speaking common, she does have an obvious foreign accent, but it usually doesn't hinder her ability to be understood. Occasionally she has a few speaking quirks in common, one of the most notable being her tendency to forget colours and instead indicating them somewhere in her surroundings.

Life Story
Life Story
- Asha is born together with her twin brother Saud as legitimate children to a Qadir mother and a Songaskian father.
- The two were raised predominantly by their mother until the age of six.
- Once the Songaskian side of the family took note of the intermarriage, a series of mocks and shunnings followed before the father's side of the family eventually overrode every decision and sold the mother and the twins into slavery.
- The twins were drilled into becoming submissive slaves from a young age, yet met with their mother, a target to physical and sexual abuse, several times to keep hopes of freedom alive.
- Their father at first attempted to buy back the family at a series of auctions, yet stormed off at one of them and wasn't seen again.
- Saud grew very protective of Asha from this day forwards, taking beatings for her and stealing extra food for her.
- During one meeting with their mother, she was taken away, raped and killed. While this turned Saud bitter and violent, it made Asha crumble in on herself and hide her emotions.
- Saud promises to protect Asha, and in turn, Asha promises to make sure he remains sane and doesn't do anything idiotic.
- When the twins were 13, an Ombratore had been taken as slave with them. He offered the twins the same power as him if they offered him blood and submission.
- The Ombratore's Coven eventually came along and freed the Ombratore and the twins. They set the twins a test and told them to murder their captors if they wanted to be worthy.
- The twins did so. Asha used blunt weaponry and force to crush heads. She has promised herself from this day forwards that she would never let go of her emotions again.
- The twins are turned to the Ombratore bloodline and joined the Coven.
- While Saud learned to fight and wage destruction, Asha's feminine appearance made her an ideal information extractor and manipulator. She trained to be a courtesan for three years.
- For two years after this, while 16-18, she worked for the Coven and gained information for them through the means she learned.
- During the time Asha had become more of a manipulator, Saud had murdered villages out of anger together with the Coven. Asha persuaded him to change his ways and start anew.
- When 18, the twins left the Coven. Staying in Farah'deen, Saud began to culture himself while Asha set up a reputation for herself within grand, flashy towns as a fine courtesan.
- When 21, the two decided to visit other continents of Regalia, and settled in Daendroc for a while. Saud visited monasteries and learned Nicolean fighting, while Asha stayed near Hallonq and Daenshore to build up her reputation again.
- Drawn to Regalia because of safety from the bone horrors, Saud brought Asha with him to the Holy city.
- While Saud has a stable job, Asha is currently jobless and living off of the funds she earned during her 10 years as a courtesan. She wants to reestablish the culture in Regalia, though Unionistic beliefs have proved to get somewhat in the way.
- Asha and Saud Nazari are born as legitimate fraternal twins to Fatima Nazari, a commoner Qadir, and Abu-Ahad Shawari, a respected Songaskia within a rather modest village in Mooriye. The Twins were raised primarily by their mother for six years as Abu-Ahad was busy working. During this time, Asha primarily spent her time holed up indoors, reading books on art and calligraphy. She was a surprisingly asocial and clever child, which became subject to change over time.
- Once the Shawari side of the family found out about the Qadir-Songaskia intermarriage however, they shunned Abu-Ahad and eventually forced Fatima and the Twins to be sold into slavery in a camp in Farah'd.
Introduction to Slavery
- While their mother was sexually and physically abused during her time as a slave, Asha and Saud, being young and still with moldable minds, were drilled into becoming submissive and obedient slaves to their masters. The Twins did not lose hope of freedom, however; they were both too young to understand the implications of "slavery", but their mother's ability to withstand the abuse and keep a high head helped nurture their hope.
- While Asha's father did attempt to purchase back the family on numerous occasions, he was continuously mocked by his Songaskian kin and eventually essentially abandoning his family as his hotheadedness got to him and he stormed off. While Saud took great effect from this, Asha, as a young eight-year-old, didn't quite comprehend what was happening. As Saud was already at this point becoming protective of Asha, she was shielded from most of the pain. To this day, she doesn't even recall the event, and only knows of it from her brother's biased rantings.
- Asha, being a fragile girl even at this time with no good understanding about the happenings of the world due to her previously asocial attitude didn't know how to take care of herself, and therefore became incredibly reliant on her brother as he didn't seem to mind protecting her - and this wasn't an offer she was about to turn down. Therefore, even in heavy slavery with physical abuse, she remained mostly indifferent about the happenings as she practically knew nothing else of life. Most of her beatings were also taken from her by Saud, too, so her own emotions never really had time to develop. Due to this her time in slavery didn't actually affect her much mentally.
A Family Torn Apart
- The only exception to the above is when the normal lifestyle in slavery was interrupted for Fatima. While Saud kept his wits about him through occasional meetings with their mother, Asha tagging along, the meeting was one day cut short when the slavers found out. Unhappy with the close familial bonds, the slavers raped and then killed Fatima before the Twins to teach them a lesson. While Saud's method of coping was through intense anger, Asha retreated more into herself, and began not sharing basic facts about herself with others. She'd frequently lie if it meant getting off potentially easier, and Asha eventually evolved into a compulsive, distant liar even when rather young. To her it was all games. Games to forget.
- While Asha coped through forcing herself to suppress emotions and pretend everything was fine, Saud grew cold and possessive of Asha, doing unspeakable things for her safety and wellbeing. This is one of the things causes Asha to have an even closer bond with her brother - he is as much her white knight and protector as he is her twin. In return, Asha promises herself she'll protect his mind and sanity, since Saud in return protects Asha's physical prime and body. In turn, however, she devolves and learns through the experiences of other slaves that romantic love can only lead to separation and anguish, and therefore gives up on the ideal of romance from a very young age. This turns into an ideal she will continue to protect with all her beliefs.
The Dark Promise of Power
- Around the time the Twins were 13, another slave claiming to be infected with the Ombratore Bloodline tempted the two children - primarily Saud - with the promise of great power like his own if they'd be complacent and willing to offer him blood as needed. By the time the vampire's coven arrived and freed the twins and their fellow member, the vampires made the decision to present Asha and Saud with a task; namely, kill their captors with whatever methods necessary to assure the task is done well; with however much power and violence is necessary. The Coven offered the twins to join their ranks and gain the same power as them through releasing unbridled emotions of anger, despair and resentment. Asha beat down her captors with blunt weapons until their brains were scattered across the walls. To this day she swears never to lose sight of her own emotions again and never let them free.
- The twins are successfully turned to the Ombratore bloodline. Asha initially didn't really want to, but went along with it due to the inherent fear of drifting apart from her more motivated elder twin. While Saud relishes in his newfound powers and abilities and strives to harm the world with his anger, Asha once more crumbles in on herself and decides to not use her powers for meaningless bloodshed. While in no ways a moral person, she dreaded the day where she'd lose control of her tucked away emotions again. She feared her own capability for murder.
- The Coven, however, needed Asha to be useful; they were providing her with a place to live and as such required work in return. After some mild internal disputes, the Coven leaders settled on training Asha within the arts of manipulation and seduction so that she may accomplish her goals that way. This training went on for about three years and has become essential to who she is today. Even though she was distant, Asha learned to socialise and take her mind off of her own emotions by focusing on those of others and using them to her advantage.
The Key to Seduction
- Eventually this turned into a major skill that she could wield effectively in very many situations, and to this day, her advances have only been rejected very few times. To conceal her true intentions, she worked avidly as a private courtesan for higher-ups in the two years after her training, when she was but 17. After all, her beauty had begun to shine at this age; she had really become an irresistible woman just by looks to many. This further worked to her advantage as she built up her personal charm.
- Meanwhile, Saud was training avidly in different fighting classes and slaughtering villages and camps alike on his rampage of frustration, anger and bloodshed. This was his way of releasing his feelings of injustice into the world - by carving scars into its surface with a bloody blade.
- Asha, sensing disturbing change within her brother, could no longer take the direction he was going in. They hardly saw each other for the few years they individually trained, and Asha still very much depended on Saud - not in terms of being able to get by, but she needed the one person she could mentally connect to to be there for her. As such, she persuaded him to change his ways and he became a more peaceful man at heart, taking up studies in culture and language, purging his disgusting and disgraceful ways with a fell blow. Asha meanwhile didn't stray from her previous teachings, having become sadly very talented in her art and unwilling to give it up. In a manner of speaking, she was addicted to the mental release she got from focusing on others. That and the mindless, meaningless intercourse.
Finest Courtesan of Farah'deen
- When the twins - now again reunited - turned 18, they made the decision of leaving their Coven. No issues followed here, and the two spent the next three years studying their passions individually.
- While Saud went off and studied engineering, Asha decided to rake up her own funds and stayed more native to the flashy and upstart cities of Farah'deen where she made quite a name of herself with the locals. Eventually gaining the position of becoming an icon of brothels of several cities, she became addicted to the sense of popularity that came with wanting crowds and lust-glazed eyes; she needed the attention on her, and only her. She wasn't spared any of this attention during her time as a fine courtesan, and she gained quite the sum from her services over the course of three years. Her infertility and lithe, slim body from vampirism only helped.
- While her career as a courtesan was fruitful in Farah'deen, it was nothing compared to when she turned 21 and travelled together with Saud around several major continental regions of Aloria, Saud experiencing culture and language and Asha experiencing the charm of different genders, physiques and mindsets - essentially instilling a predetermined idea of what all these are likely to be to date. This is a major thing that helps her determine what approach to take around someone today.
Travelling Abroad
- Drawn to the bustle and desires frequent within Daenshore and Hallonq, Asha continued to further her own popularity while Saud busied himself with boring monastery studies. For the next five years, Asha learned very few specks of Daendroquin and built herself a small fortune and a parlor of her own. Therefore she was quite reluctant to leave a place where she'd made a name for herself once again; but Saud was a determined being and Asha didn't want to be left behind.
- As Saud decided to travel to Regalia during the end of Freya Lo's dark reign, Asha of course followed. While Saud had plans for his future, Asha was at a bit of a loss - open services as a courtesan were harder to advertise without being discriminated upon in the Holy City. Due to the funds she'd already acquired over the past ten years however, she has no issue living without income for a few years.
- Currently, Asha has taken it upon herself to build up a reputation once again. She'd avidly learning about the diversity in races within Regalia and building her knowledge on manipulation off of that, but she knows she still has a long way to go. Her dreams of becoming desirable are however still adamantly stuck to her thoughts.
