So sayeth the Spider
((Putting her up now before she gets lost again! lol))

Character Number: Going by the census....9th? (regular atm)

Name: Gavina Rune

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Sex: Female

Sexuality: Hetero...when that kicks in of course

Appearance: This girl is a unique one. It is both easy and hard to describe her because Gavina has a condition and features that make it near impossible to determine her race or overall genetic map. Why? Because Gavina is an albino. Literally white skinned with silvery white blonde hair. Her eyes are both a giveaway and a mystery. The pupils are red as would be expected, but her irises seem almost a light lavender as opposed to the pink you would expect of such a mutation. Her lids appear heavy but it is likely just because she rarely opens them very wide especially if she is in a spot with much light for obvious reasons.

Which brings us back to her other features. Indeed it is hard to determine Gavina's actual race because she seems to be a mix of all of them in a blend that gives her almost abnormally average features. It is hard to tell in her eyes as the reason stated above, her lips, while full are not so thick as to give a big hint, and her nose looks neither so thin as to indicate one race nor wide enough to hint at a more exotic lineage. When you look at her, a common though is that really she could be anything!

In body, Gavina appears wispy and weak but of course, that is understandable with her genetic curve ball. While she appears weak and indeed does not look to have much muscle on her, she is very swift and agile because of it. Due to her age, she is not very tall just yet, a youthful 5'1, still not bad for a 14 year old. Also, puberty is beginning to kick in as she is starting to gain some noticeable curves here and there. Her hair has some touch of waviness to it, she wears it shoulder length either fully down or in a pony tail but no matter what she hides much of her face with her bangs. Never pulling them away from her face although sometimes they fall naturally to let you get a good look at her when she wants a better look at something herself.

While Gavina does not usually care what she wears, when having to choose she liked muted colors not too pale nor too dark so as not to draw too much attention to herself. Though she does have a soft spot for purple ranged colors, especially lavender. Airy and comfortable preferred but also nothing that will snag her on anything now that she has to consider such things. Of course if possible she liked wearing hats purely to keep extra light off of her as well as extra coverage for her face. Heck, she prefers anything that covers much of her skin out of comfort as well as fear of burning. Full suite including goggles would be welcome in her mind!

Personality: While you could describe Gavina as a living doll, as she was raised as one for a while, you may not be far off in one regard. Gavina is very hard to read emotionally. This is very unnerving and for good reason. This girl is a very observant and intelligent creature. Taking in every detail and storing it away for later use regardless of when it will become useful. You could call her a human computer in a way. Frankly, the amount of knowledge this girl holds and retains within her is scary. You can give her a book and she very well could remember it word for word if she wanted to.

This one is a calculating predator. One of her favorite games is making people do what she wants without them knowing it. Even at a young age when anyone would make unwanted comments on her appearance, she found if she stared at them long enough, they would back off an leave her alone out of discomfort. This delighted her knowing she could have power over others if she played her cards right. So, of course, she still does it today when she feels the need.

Overall she is a bit of an introvert. Feeling most comfortable keeping to herself and not having to interact with others. That is not to say she cannot do so or even form a bond with people, she can but after two big tragedies and life changes, she prefers not to. Nowadays she can be seen as the strong silent type who sizes you up and learns about you watching and listening in silence. Luckily when she is brought into a conversation she can easily speak eloquently and politely. Though since it is hard to tell when she is mad it is best to keep it polite.

If she were to go after you, it would be when you least suspect it or when you are at your most vulnerable. Gavina is no fool, nor is she weak but she prefers to be smart and crafty about things instead of taking bigger risks like attacking someone in a rage who is obviously armed.

Rank: Tainted candidate

History: While a genetic mutation such as albinism could be fatal in nature, in Gavina's case, it saved her life shortly after it nearly killed her. Gavina was actually a twin. She was born with a brother and both of them were albino. Nothing is really known of their parents except that shortly after birth, likely due to their appearance, the twin infants were abandoned. Wrapped in a blanket and placed in a wooden box. What was odd however was that the box was placed just inside a town that was known for having better off residents.

The theory was that the parents were likely from somewhere else and unwilling to go far in enough to be spotted or perhaps members of the community that also did not want to be seen. Either way, luckily the box was found before the children came to any real harm. However unluckily they were placed in the hands of a group who saw their rare condition and decided to sell them for money instead of at least an orphanage. The two were at least brought back to decent health but each child was sold separately.

The only inkling Gavina has of having a brother at all are odd flashes and dreams she has occasionally. Who even knows if the boy is still alive even. But for Gavina, she was purchased by a rich couple, the Greenstones, who bought her more as a status symbol to represent their wealth and exotic tastes more than to have a child to love. They took her to all events they attended and paraded her around when they held their own parties. The upside to this was Gavina was given the best of physical care to keep her healthy and lovely.
She wore the finest clothes, received the finest education, ate the finest foods, and of course the finest beauty treatments. But at a young age, Gavina could see she was more of a trophy than a child. She watched other children with their families and knew that was not what she had. She saw others had it far worse, but her existence lacked real love. Gavina, however, was alright with this. Bothered yes but not torn up about it. She saw the advantages she had and decided it was worth the sacrifice. The only problem she had with it was she felt she was objectified.

Overall, her adoptive family was kind to her, but not exactly loving. Gavina would often test them to see how much they cared and why. She discovered she was not permitted to be outside the property unless someone was with her and the harshest punishment (given if she humiliated her 'parents' in front of others) was to be locked in her room with no way out for a day or so with only water. While Gavina knew she could handle such a punishment she simply preferred not to. She mostly behaved for them and danced their dance so she could receive what she felt she needed and wanted. Feeling overall the goal was to survive.

She did receive home schooling but Gavina also taught herself everything she could. Even requesting lessons on how to properly handle weapons. This request was denied however the Greenstones did approve of martial art lessons as they felt it increased her value and grace. But Gavina had really gotten what she wanted because many of the fans, staffs, and sticks used in such rituals taught her anyhow. Just another bit of her trickery.

Really Gavina knew she didn't have much to complain about so to her life was good. Or at least it was until her adoptive family's wealth caught up with them as it often can with people. They were robbed. She was only 10 years old and it was not a simple burglary either. The criminals came in late one night intending to take everything they possibly could. The bad news was they did it when the family was home. It was a larger group of intruders, likely a gang for some larger operation. Anyone who got in the way was attacked. Even servants were beaten and restrained. One of the cooks who Gavina had formed a bond with urged the girl to do whatever she had to do to avoid capture as the attackers may want to take her.

Gavina quickly took refuge in a crawlspace in the walls she often used to spy and hear what everyone was talking about. She knew it well enough if the walls were broken into, she could still avoid detection. It worked, but it was a hellish experience. She heard things she wished she hadn't and although her adoptive parents and she may not have had the love most families do, when Gavina had learned that they had been killed, she did feel an unexpected wave of grief and sadness. When it was over and she with a few servants tried to find out what would happen to them next when authorities got involved, Gavina learned that to her disgust that she was considered more property than any sort of heir.

Seeing she would not only have no inheritance and that she could easily be "sold" to whoever did step in, she made a rash decision. She ran. Gavina packed what she could carry and wore a cloak with a hood in hopes of hiding herself from attention, but it was a hard few days. She ran far from the town she grew up in and traveled through more wooded terrain hungry and tired. Gavina knew she did not really know how to survive and she needed help. This terrified her as she was afraid of how people would respond to her when she was not being shown off as a rare trophy.

One night, not long after she fled, Gavina collapsed on an old traveled path through a wooded area. As she lay losing consciousness, she accepted her fate. It was a surprise then when she woke up in a bed near a warm fireplace. Shocked, she nearly bolted away from the woman who was entering the room to check on her. After some distrust and fear, Gavina learned the woman was named Ena Rune and she had found her on the side of the road on her way back home from a trading venture. Ena had farmland and often sold her produce as well as prepared food to people of nearby towns. Sometimes even running a soup kitchen and occasional Inn from her home. A home which she offered to Gavina.

Gavina was smart enough to know to take the offer, but it surprised her just how good a choice it was. In this environment under Ena's care, Gavina flourished. She learned so much about survival and self-sustainability. Farming, hunting, tracking, tool and weapon crafting, nothing extraordinary but still more than Gavina would need to keep herself alive. She even learned to make some natural concoctions to help color her skin when she felt self-conscious about it which was actually beneficial to her skin as well. She finally felt she belonged and was truly happy. She looked upon Ena as her true mother and even interacted more with people she met through their travels and business.

Gavina even learned working horses and riding them. Finally having one of her own who she named Phantom. A fitting name as the Mare was a light blue grey with a black mane and tail. As it turns out, Gavina would need her. When it seemed all was well with the world and the tragedy of what happened to the Greenstones a sad but life changing memory, surely no such tragedy would happen to Gavina again. Oh was she wrong. To this day she does not understand why it happened, but one night as several weary travelers were renting rooms from Ena, the property was attacked.

This was not a robbery like what had befallen the Greenstones. The motive was not clear but whatever the reasons, a group of people, some with dragons, swarmed the farms and utter chaos ensued. Yelling, assault, and fire among others. Ena quickly rushed Gavina up and out of bed to get her to safety. She urged the girl to get to the barn and ride Phantom as far away as she could and not come back until smoke was no longer visible. Gavina at first refused but when Ena all but dragged her to the horse and swore to her she would handle this before hugging her and slapping the horse to urge her to run upwind of the fire.

Phantom was a very fast and intelligent horse and she knew to get she and Gavina as far away from the danger as fast as possible. It was likely the smoke as well as the trees that prevented a dragon from swooping down and snatching the from above. Gavina knew of dragon riders but never really asked much about them though now her mind was racing to figure out why they were doing this. They rode throughout the night until dawn hit and Gavina knew she had to give Phantom a rest. When they came to a river she tried to soothe the horse until Phantom finally seemed at ease enough to browse on grass and drink to regain her stamina. To Gavina's dispair she still saw a little smoke rising from where they came from.

It was too long to Gavina before she felt it was safe to return and it was a long ride back. Phantom became uneasy but stayed with Gavina as they came upon the burnt down farm. She saw nobody living there. Gavina quickly set to looking for Ena and digging through what remained of her home. To her horror, she did find a couple bodies, but from what remained she could tell they were guests. It still struck her however. She rummaged all day but found no sign of Ena. Deep down, though, she knew she would not see her again.

After a time of near comatose state, Gavina then dug through what remained of her room and was unable too salvage much. A few bits of clothes and a couple blankets but it would help. She even found a few small but valuable trinkets she kept from the Greenstones. These she could actually make a lot of money off of so she pocketed those away. From around the property, she packed what tools and food she could find and set herself up the best she could with what Phantom could carry comfortably. Not seeing any other option, Gavina mounted her horse and they rode off to carve out a new existence. This time she knew better than to rely on any other human to survive.

Pet(s): A light silver-grey mare with dark grey (near black) mane and tail named Phantom.
