About Samirah BasriSamirah's earliest memories were of being treated like merchandise by slavers. Even at that young age, she knew she belonged to no one, no matter how much gold they offered, and fled to the home Plane of whichever parent was the Efreet (she never figured it out). She then spent her formative years in the Plane of Fire, watching and learning from the efreet around her in the City of Brass. Their single-minded mischief and racial prejudice bored her, and though she picked up more of both of these traits than she’d ever admit to, she started to become restless. Through determination and perseverance (read: she became the squeakiest wheel), Samirah convinced someone close to the Sultan himself that she should be sent out into the Prime Plane for mischief and general shenanigans. What she got instead was a mission assassinate Queen Galfrey, ruler of Mendev. She made the deal, then was dropped near Kenabres. The first thing she noticed was the gods-damned cold (in comparison, of course), and then an immediate sense of regret as she lovingly reconstructed the lakes of molten lava, pillars of fire, and floating discs of red hot brass of her home in her mind. She squared her shoulders, head held high, refusing to let a little thing like “temperate climates” bar her from being anything less than fabulous. Next, she promptly forgot about assassinating what’s-her-name, and headed toward the action of Kenabres. Physical Appearance:
Samirah's efreet heritage is obvious; her hair seems to oscillate between the reds and oranges of flame, moving in much the same way. Her skin could be called "tan", but she'd prefer the term "beautiful, burnished copper". Her eyes are more gold-yellow and full of fire. Her ears are pointed, and tiny horns dot her brow like a naturally-grown tiara. She's proud of the horns; she would say that the few other Ifrit she met had ugly horn growths in comparison. After spending some time in Kenabres, she gave up on the silky stuff and found slightly more weather-appropriate clothing to wear. It's still more colorful than what most other people would wear; if it's not dyed when she finds it, she gets it dyed immediately. She recently acquired Mithral armor, as much for the sparkle as the function. She finds it sets of the color of her skin very nicely. And you probably do, too, you sly dog. Stats And Other Things:

Mechanics for Leila:
Strength w/ Muleback Cords: 16 Feats Dodge: Prerequisite: Dex 13. Benefit: You gain a +1 dodge bonus to your AC. A condition that makes you lose your Dex bonus to AC also makes you lose the benefits of this feat. Mobility: Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge. Benefit: You get a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks of opportunity caused when you move out of or within a threatened area. A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses. Combat Reflexes: Benefit: You may make a number of additional attacks of opportunity per round equal to your Dexterity bonus. With this feat, you may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed. Improved Critical: (Benefit gained at Level 5) Benefit: When using the weapon you selected, your threat range is doubled. Swashbuckler Weapon Training: At 5th level, a swashbuckler gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with one-handed or light piercing melee weapons. While wielding such a weapon, she gains the benefit of the Improved Critical feat. These attack and damage bonuses increase by 1 for every 4 levels beyond 5th level (to a maximum of +4 at 17th level). Spring Attack: Benefit: As a full-round action, you can move up to your speed and make a single melee attack without provoking any attacks of opportunity from the target of your attack. You can move both before and after the attack, but you must move at least 10 feet before the attack and the total distance that you move cannot be greater than your speed. You cannot use this ability to attack a foe that is adjacent to you at the start of your turn. Scorching Weapon: Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against fire attacks and spells with the fire descriptor or light descriptor. As a swift action, you can make up to two held manufactured metallic weapons become red-hot for 1 round, dealing 1 additional point of fire damage with a successful hit. This does not stack with other effects that add fire damage to weapons, such as the flaming weapon special ability. Inner Flame: Benefit: Your bonus on saves against fire attacks and spells with the fire descriptor or light descriptor increases to +4. When you use Scorching Weapons, the affected weapons deal an additional 1d6 points of fire damage instead of 1, and when you are grappling, you deal this damage to your grappling opponent on your turn. Traits Fiery Dominance (Plane of Fire): Raised among the efreet of the Plane of Fire, you developed a similarly assured sense of superiority over people from other backgrounds. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Intimidate checks against humanoids of a subtype different from your own (or all non-human humanoids, if you are not a humanoid), and the DC for such creatures to demoralize you with Intimidate is 2 higher than usual. Nightstalls Escapee: The slavers of Katapesh were determined to sell you as living property, but you had other plans. You know not whether your slavers hunt you still, but you are careful about whom you trust and you always sleep with one eye open. You need to sleep only 4 hours to get a full night’s rest (restoring 1 hit point per character level). You do not receive extra benefits for sleeping additional hours, and you must still rest for 24 hours to receive the benefits of complete bed rest. Child of Light: The warmth of fire and the light of a hot day ease your soul and body. 1/day spell-like ability to cast endure elements --------------------
Panache: 4 Merciful (Ex) While violence is sometimes necessary to cleanse evil, dervishes rarely revel in a foe's defeat. A whirling dervish does not gain any panache for dropping a foe below 0 hit points unless that foe is an evil outsider or undead, or if the damage she dealt was nonlethal. Additionally, she gains 1 panache point if she causes an evildoer with a number of Hit Dice equal to at least 1/2 her character level to surrender to her. She can gain this benefit no more than once per round, even if multiple enemies surrender. This ability alters panache. Critical Hit with a Light or One-Handed Piercing Melee Weapon: Each time the swashbuckler confirms a critical hit with a light or one-handed piercing melee weapon, she regains 1 panache point. Confirming a critical hit on a helpless or unaware creature or a creature that has fewer Hit Dice than half the swashbuckler's character level doesn't restore panache. Killing Blow with a Light or One-Handed Piercing Melee Weapon: When the swashbuckler reduces a creature to 0 or fewer hit points with a light or one-handed piercing melee weapon attack while in combat, she regains 1 panache point. Destroying an unattended object, reducing a helpless or unaware creature to 0 or fewer hit points, or reducing a creature that has fewerHit Dice than half the swashbuckler's character level to 0 or fewer hit points doesn't restore any panache. Deeds Derring-Do (Ex): At 1st level, a swashbuckler can spend 1 panache point when she makes an Acrobatics, Climb, Escape Artist, Fly, Ride, or Swim check to roll 1d6 and add the result to the check. She can do this after she makes the check but before the result is revealed. If the result of the d6 roll is a natural 6, she rolls another 1d6 and adds it to the check. She can continue to do this as long as she rolls natural 6s, up to a number of times equal to her Dexterity modifier (minimum 1). Dodging Panache (Ex): At 1st level, when an opponent attempts a melee attack against the swashbuckler, the swashbuckler can as an immediate action spend 1 panache point to move 5 feet; doing so grants the swashbuckler a dodge bonus to AC equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 0) against the triggering attack. This movement doesn't negate the attack, which is still resolved as if the swashbuckler had not moved from the original square. This movement is not a 5-foot step; it provokes attacks of opportunity from creatures other than the one who triggered this deed. The swashbuckler can only perform this deed while wearing light or no armor, and while carrying no heavier than a light load. Opportune Parry and Riposte (Ex): At 1st level, when an opponent makes a melee attack against the swashbuckler, she can spend 1 panache point and expend a use of an attack of opportunity to attempt to parry that attack. The swashbuckler makes an attack roll as if she were making an attack of opportunity; for each size category the attacking creature is larger than the swashbuckler, the swashbuckler takes a –2 penalty on this roll. If her result is greater than the attacking creature's result, the creature's attack automatically misses. The swashbuckler must declare the use of this ability after the creature's attack is announced, but before its attack roll is made. Upon performing a successful parry and if she has at least 1 panache point, the swashbuckler can as an immediate action make an attack against the creature whose attack she parried, provided that creature is within her reach. Swashbuckler Finesse (Ex): At 1st level, a swashbuckler gains the benefits of the Weapon Finesse feat with light or one-handed piercing melee weapons, and she can use her Charisma score in place of Intelligence as a prerequisite for combat feats. This ability counts as having the Weapon Finesse feat for purposes of meeting feat prerequisites. Charmed Life (Ex): At 2nd level, the swashbuckler gains a knack for getting out of trouble. Three times per day as an immediate action before attempting a saving throw, she can add her Charisma modifier to the result of the save. She must choose to do this before the roll is made. At 6th level and every 4 levels thereafter, the number of times she can do this per day increases by one (to a maximum of 7 times per day at 18th level). Kip-Up (Ex): At 3rd level, while the swashbuckler has at least 1 panache point, she can kip-up from prone as a move action without provoking an attack of opportunity. She can kip-up as a swift action instead by spending 1 panache point.
Precise Strike (Ex): At 3rd level, while she has at least 1 panache point, a swashbuckler gains the ability to strike precisely with a light or one-handed piercing melee weapon (though not natural weapon attacks), adding her swashbuckler level to the damage dealt. To use this deed, a swashbuckler cannot attack with a weapon in her other hand or use a shield other than a buckler. She can even use this ability with thrown light or one-handed piercing melee weapons, so long as the target is within 30 feet of her. Any creature that is immune to sneak attacks is immune to the additional damage granted by precise strike, and any item or ability that protects a creature from critical hits also protects a creature from the additional damage of a precise strike. This additional damage is precision damage, and isn't multiplied on a critical hit. As a swift action, a swashbuckler can spend 1 panache point to double her precise strike's damage bonus on the next attack. This benefit must be used before the end of her turn, or it is lost. This deed's cost cannot be reduced by any ability or effect that reduces the amount of panache points a deed costs (such as the Signature Deed feat). Swashbuckler Initiative (Ex): At 3rd level, while the swashbuckler has at least 1 panache point, she gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks. In addition, if she has the Quick Draw feat, her hands are free and unrestrained, and she has any single light or one-handed piercing melee weapon that isn't hidden, she can draw that weapon as part of the initiative check. Silver Scale:
Cloudwalking: As a standard action, a scale can be used to cast levitate with a caster level of 20. A pillar of roiling clouds rises below the levitating object or creature, growing or shrinking with the target's altitude. This pillar is 5-ft in diameter (regardless of the target's size) and provides concealment (20% miss chance) to any creature or object wholly contained within. Disguise: As a standard action, a scale can be used to cast alter self with a caster level of 20. While disguised, in addition to the standard effects of the spell, the target gains a +4 bonus on Bluff checks made against evil creatures. Lay on Hands: The scale can be activated to provide lay on hands as per the paladin ability. This ability functions as if the bearer had a paladin level equal to his character level. Resistance: As an immediate action, the scale can be used to cast resist energy with a caster level of 20 - but only against electricity or cold. Sacred Weaponry: As a swift action, the scale can be used to cast align weapon with a caster level of 20 - but only to align the weapon lawful or good. Unlike a normal align weapon this effect can be cast on an unarmed strike or natural weapon.
Gear:

Mundane Gear: Red scarf with strands of bright reds and yellows, worn on her head / tying her hair back / around her neck / like a shawl / draped over someone she's shamelessly flirting with Rings. A couple of them. Gaudy as hell and basically worthless. A couple of bracelets. The same as the rings. A necklace; this looks finely crafted.
