1. Former Geisha turned street brawler born from an indiscretion between a Tian noble courtesan and a Varisian coffee merchant. Her mother pretended to terminate the child in the womb to keep her status and family honor as well as to allow Ibara's father to leave the country unharmed.
2. Mother left her to be raised in a geisha house but visited her frequently, telling her stories about her father and his escapades as a "legendary adventurer". She created more than a few false fairy tales of inspiration for Ibara, leaving in her an where at Wonderlust and desire for glory.
3. Raised in a geisha house but was taught all of the procedures and forms of art involved with their line of work, once she came of age. After years of training and living the elegant and regal lifestyle, she was kicked out in her early twenties after nearly killing an overly aggressive patron. They blamed her behavior on her gaijen(halfbreed) lineage.
4. After her motther disowned her, she traveled to Golarian and searched for her father but after a year of searching, only found his wandering relatives finally only to discover from them that he's nothing but a small time trader Who hit it big with a trade deal to Tian Xia no but it since faded into his obscurity. The world was a joke. Devastated, she drifted with the Varisians and turned her melancholic fury over leaving her comfortable life behind for silly ideas of adventure, into a sense of strength.
5. Her twenties were spent with her father's Varisian half-relatives, they taught her theircolorful lifestyle and taught her to hone her anger into a brawling style. Bare knuckle battles were a way of life for some in the caravan and as Ibara does, she needs to be on top of whatever foodchain she found hersef in. She learned how to duck, pivot, and jab with the best of them, gratified to have a way to vent her frustrations with the world.When not soused, her silver tongue can deliver threats or pleasantries with the same impact as her fists in a flurry of blindsiding blows.

Quirks:
-Collects religious paraphenalia to cover spiritual bases
-Speaks her mind, emphatically
-Smokes a kiseru
-Her accent and mixed regional phraseology causes her to speak with a sometimes indecipherable lilt when stressed

Relations
-Donovan Lovemoore: Eighteen time Regional brawling champ and a graduate of Tymon(University of gladiators). Took a shine to Ibara and taught her the basics and advanced moves of unarmed combat. They have a tense relationship as she's nurtured a one way crush on him for years which made for a very awkward parting.

-KnifeMother:A crime lord she's done a few odd jobs for over the years. Ibara owes money to her for a fight she was supposed to throw but didn't. Their relationship is aggressive.

-Florica: Ibara's Varisian 16 year old cousin. She looks up to Ibara this often getting into trouble it is currently getting lessons in calligraphy. Their relationship is loving.

Secrets:
-She adores creature comfort's and longs for a rich life where she's appreciated for her art or heroics
-Born of two worlds steeped in heightened spiritual cultural, she has picked up healthy sense of superstition

Goal:
Background goal-Return the broken blade to her father.
Immediate goal: Find work To support family
Larger Goal: Become renowned in her field

Two lengths of Ibara's long starless lochs hang from her voluminous smooth updo crowned with a topknot, and frame her high cheekboned face. Her small pout of a mouth sports a dab of red similar in color to the shadow around the corners of her oval blue eyes. Despite the vigorous daily plucking applied to her high set eyebrows which slant sharply downward on the inner half, the thick hairy features provide her expressions with a slight permanent scowl. Her large broken nose contrast with the delicate presentation only slightly more than her small but pronounced ears laden with many rings of various metals.
Scars run all across the length of her lean muscled figure but the most defined run through her strong chin and across her knuckles. Her posture appears slovenly or drunk but for those who watch closely see her movements are actually taut and graceful.

She wears a high collared red leather Yin vest with fur lining and emblazoned with faded winding dragon symbols. Her right arm is covered with a deep emerald padded cloth gauntlet from shoulder to her hand ending in a fingerless glove. Hanging from her hips, a crimson sash with gold coins sewn into it which holds a pure white scabard with a white handle on a broken long sword. Hanging on the other hip from the sash is a sake gourd with no less than five wooden religious symbols from various conflicting dieties tied to it. Her left arm is sleeved in an intricate Varisian tattoo depicting her life story. Tall geta sandals adorn her feet which show early signs of binding, the outer toes curled slightly inward. Her lower half is clothed in a black string-tie mao knee shorts and a dark green kimono wraps around her hips while the top half hangs off of her backside.

Myers Briggs
Extroverted Thinking (Te): outwardly express their judgments and opinions, tendency to think out loud, strives to bring order, control, and rationality to external systems and operations, wants to take action.
Introverted Sensing (Si): spends time reflecting on the past or cherished traditions, prefers routine, sensitive to inner-body sensations, compares present experiences to past ones.
Extroverted Intuition (Ne): seeks outer discovery, playful, restless, loves new ideas, connections, and possibilities, external brainstorming, looks beyond the surface to find hidden data, patterns, and possibilities, searching for the unknown.
Introverted Feeling (Fi): withholding external evidence of their emotions, adhering closely to personal feelings and values.
Ibara Boswell expresses her opinions very frankly; in fact, she shares every thought as it comes to her (dominant Te).
Everything she deals with on a daily basis goes back to her own former experiences and information; she keeps track of ideas, conclusions, and ways to battle different kinds of opponents/creatures, so that she can use them in the present (Si). Ibara also tends to focus mostly on the present (Si) but with a bigger eye toward her future; she wants to become a famous boxer and comes up with the ideal imaginary life (Ne) but inevitably falls back on practicality (Si). (Si-Ne).
She has trouble relating to other people, and not becoming highly emotional and selfish in a bad situation. Ibara isn’t easily insulted, but also struggles to confide in others when she needs to (inferior Fi).

Due to her heritage and western physical appearance, she was often mistreated in her youth. This not only gave her a hardened outlook but caused her to wear a mask of fierceness and in turn, become a bully herself. Her aggressive nature and tendency to pick on others left her with few friends but instilled in her a deep ambition to be the best in her field. In the back of her mind, she was trying to be as good a hostess as her father presumably was at adventuring.

Her "Exotic" appearance made this easier as it pushed her to be a popular choice for clients at the geisha house. Coupled with the fact that she excelled in her training(in no small part due to her mothers efforts) and made her a stand out entertainer. She flaunted this fact over her peers and gave her a reputation of emotional shortsightedness and petty cruelty. When confronted with resistance to her efforts she would either emotionally or physically abuse them, made all the easier by her geisha training which included proficient conversational exercises and rigorous tai chi to keep fit.

For years she was the top dog at her house reveling in all of the high-end clothes and food she could want, with realistic aspirations of running it one day. This all came to a halt when she was entertaining one particularly drunken patron who claimed to know her father. Over years of being put down for her mixed heritage, she had grown a fix skin to such negative comments, but this soussed Westerner aggravated her beyond belief with a constant barrage of insults, climaxing with the truth about her father.She snapped and nearly killed him with a single haymaker. The hogokai tend to frown on their girls assaulting patrons and removed her status and kicked her out of the house. Her mother disowned her to avoid dishonor and Ibaa lost her only friend in the world.

Her world was shattered and she was left responded. So she turned to the only person she had left in the world. Her source of inspiration and hero, her father.
