ASHIRA SESHADRI

Descriptions

Ashiras Trump, artist moriqu_endi@yahoo.com, who plays Tamora


Ashira is a daughter of Llewella, though with no real resemblance to her mother. She currently has no specific set of colours or symbol which is 'hers'. She is also a shapeshifter, so she actually has three main forms. These are as follows:


Human Form

She appears to be aged in her mid to late teens, with medium brown skin, black hair, and African features. She is of average height, pretty rather than beautiful with sharp, indeed thin, features, and a thin build. Her hair is cut short, in fact fairly close cropped. She has watchful grey eyes. There is a black circle brand on her right cheek.

She wears 18th century-style clothing - a frock coat, shirt, tight trousers, knee-high boots and a tricorn (three-fold) hat. The coat, trousers and hat are, for preference, in dark blue, the shirt in white, and the boots in black. She would wear more courtly clothing if appropriate (though would be more than a little uncomfortable in it).

She seems to carry various items of weaponry concealed about her person, particularly what is now a high-tech or magical pistol of some sort, and at least one well-used, but sharp and well-cared-for looking dagger. And lockpicks. She also carries lockpicks, and seems to know how to use them.


Demon Form

This looks like a large (7' tall, 5' diameter), roughly cylindrical, fairly densely packed bush of glossy black metal jointed armoured tentacles studded with silver thorns, radially symmetric as much as anything, with no centre - all branches cross-link essentially at random through the body.

The many branches are intrinsically tough and in addition the non-centralised bush-like nature of this forms physiology makes it very resistant to damage as it is hard for attacks to hit anything vital even if they do get through her armour. The many branches can all be used as walking, climbing or manipulative limbs, and can extend up to several metres from the main 'bush'. All branches are roughly the same size, tapering towards to tips; they do not branch or cross-link away from the central core.

The silver thorns which stud the body can extend up to the size of daggers. All the branches are dotted with small (1/2" diameter) matt black discs which act as eyes, allowing vision in all directions simultaneously.


Avatar Form

A large female leopard.
