Egg
Character Number: 3rd

Name: Sadia Tafweek

Age: 20

Gender:Female

Sex: Female

Sexuality: No (Asexual)

Appearance:

Sadia is Assarian, born and raised in the hot desert climate in Sekkai. Standing at 5'11", she's a bit taller than average for girls, and her form is often hidden beneath the baggy and loose clothing she wears to help against the blazing desert heat. Her skin is dark, commonly so among the Assarian people, with eyes bright as a desert oasis. Her black hair offsets the bright hazel of her eyes, smooth and straight albiet often tied up in a bun beneath her headwear to keep it from sticking to her neck. A victim of resting bitch face syndrome, when her face is not covered her lips are a flat line and brows narrow slightly, her large nose adding to her terrifying stare.

Once the clothing is removed however, her figure is seen as thin and whippish, chest small and bound even then to make maneouvering easy. She is a figure of speed, from her taut body to her small, delicate feet. It is unwise ot mistake her size for weakness, however, as her body often carries many concealed weapons. Her most prominent weapons are the pair of scimitars she weilds, both usually sheathed on her back. However, she has daggers and throwing stars hidden in the folds of her clothes, and in the wraps around her legs.

The typical clothing she wears is, as stated, baggy. Loose fitting pants that wrap around her waist and ankles, shirts with loose sleeves, and headwraps concealing her face are what she wears when her and her sibling go out among the city. During the rare downtime, she will wear more comfortable, sleeveless or short sleeved shirts and not have the headwear. Jewlery is a rare adornment, save a few bengals or the piercing in her nose and ear.

Personality:
Impulsive, Righteous, Adaptive

Sadia and Rayyan seem to balance eachother out, where Sadia is the more impulsive and hot headed of the twins. She is a little hasty to act, lashing out before thinking on her actions, but taking the consequences of them regardless. It's rare she reacts and regrets what she does, as she understands cause and effect do not often go in the way they are planned. Usually, it's Rayyan who seems to regret Sadia's actions, trying to hold back their sister from engaging unnecessarily. Rayyan is the only person Sadia will listen to in these types of situations, as her sibling often offers insight she doesn't see herself.

Sadia has her own deep rooted beliefs in her actions, believing to act in a righteous way. Of course, they have always been well intentioned; helping the poor street rats, those who are mere orphaned children as they once were, families too poor to keep food on the table, people harrassed by the nobility who run the city. Why should only the wealthy be alive and healthy? What did the poor do to deserve death by starvation? If the Academy cannot keep them at bay, if the Academy cannot give them the protection they need, then someone else would have to step forward.

Growing up the way she did, doing what she does, has made Sadia adaptive and flexible, changing in an instant to make use of a situation. Though not as good at talking smooth, Sadia lets her actions speak more for her, using body language to speak. Rayyan is the one with words. The two work together, supplying one another where the other fails. This isn't merely a tactic of survival, however is more of a codependancy. They have been together since the womb of their mother, and never separated since. This would be a prime weakness for them.

Rank: Willing Tainted Candidate

History:

Sadia and Rayyan were born into poverty, as many in the slums of Assaria's few cities were. Their mother was a beggar, often in the streets in hope of a coin being tossed her way, where a man took advantage of her before throwing a few coppers at her. The twins were the outcome, though their mother often told them as children that they were the best gifts that could have come out of it. Money was tighter with children, but their mother did her best before succumbing to an illness they had no money or medicine to treat when they were both 8. From then on, Sadia and Rayyan only had each other.

They tried begging, they tried dancing, they tried putting on a show for men and ladies with fat wallets, but they had no luck. The next thing they did was start thieving. Small hands were quick hands, and they found that stealing often provided the best fruits. Sometimes it was a few coins from a lose purse, more often than not it was a fruit or loaf of bread from a vendor who wasn't looking. The two were far from perfect, earning slaps on the wrists and sticks to their back when caught. Official city guards rarely trifled with them, but when they started getting involved it took Sadia little time to realize they were men who cared for coin, and not for the hard lives of the poor. They were told if they couldn't work, they couldn't get money, and if they couldn't earn money, then they would go without food. And nobody wanted to hire a pair of street rat bastard orphans.

Sadia was the first of the two to latch onto anger and foster it into fuel for life. She wanted to live, solely to prove that they wouldn't simply sit there in the slums and die like flies. As they grew, the two knew that their safety would be threatened. Sadia was a female by birth, and had seen how men grabbed poor women off the street to take as they will. They took up weapons and began to teach themselves. Of course, when children teach themselves weapons it's expected they were sloppy and kept little discipline. However in the rooftops of the city they found a new skill.

The city was an entirely different place from above than it was below. While the winding pathways of the market were kept stocked with patrolling guards, the roofs were free of any law enforcement. The trade off was learning how to jump and be quick. In their teenage years they had apt memories of how to go from one end of the city to the other solely scaling the top of roofs, and had started a life of burglary. However, this was not solely for themselves any more. They had broadened their horizons and were paying back dues to the poor people whom they shared homes with. Tax collectors could be kept at bay, the occasional spiced meat could be purchased as a treat, and there was a sense of purpose for Sadia.

Then the plague struck. Whereas before the guards had given the twins slaps on the wrist and warnings for their tirades (as there were no proof for the actual robberies committed), now they were hawking over the twins as if waiting for a reason to slap them in chains. Posters were raised with small but worthy bounty on their heads, and taxes were growing at an all time pace. Food became constricted, as the best were being sent to the royal family that resided in the inner city, and the poor began to go hungry once more. Thieving became dangerous, even burglary, as those who could afford it now had guard hounds or even live in bodyguards to watch over their coin. And the longer they tried to continue their activities, the more the stock died out. The more the stock died out, the higher the bounty climbed.

The twins began to cover their faces and wore clothing that covered more of themselves. Those who had grown up with them, or who had cared for them in their infancy, were highly unlikely to turn on them even with the price on their head, but not everyone could be trusted. Those days, everyone sought a reason to earn another coin, a spare spice, the last bottle of milk. It was near savage. Rayyan was the one to come up with the idea to contact the Academy, to seek help from the all mighty force that had protected Sekkai for all these years and beat back the Taint from the ashes of defeat. Who else could help if not them?

A letter was sent, anonymous in nature but with a paid carrier hawk to be delivered to the Academy, begging for help and writing their grievances. Days went by, then weeks, a month before a letter finally was returned. The letter was not addressed to them, or even left blank. It was instead sent back to the ruling family, declaring a state of panic and demanding increased tithing from all cities. To say Sadia was upset by the decree would be a major understatement. She was furious. Her and Rayyan are still planning what they wish to do next, be it attack departing caravans, to lead an attempt at a revolt, or to turn to the only other faction who has dragons...
