About Sonechka AlkaevaSonechka Alkaeva
BACKGROUND:
Sonechka's name means 'my wish' or 'my gift', a fitting name for the result of a pact with a being from the lower planes. Sonechka is the daughter of an overeager and ambitious young ethran who made a deal with a powerful evil being from the lower planes; the young woman wished for arcane power and found herself pregnant with a tiefling child.
Sonechka's was taken in by the hathrans when her first testing revealed the extent of her potential and the extent of her mother's ambition. Between her first few years with her mother, constantly reminding her how special she was, and her remaining youth spent living among a group of woman seen as just a short step below the spirits of the land, Sonechka developed an outsized sense of importance. Living among the people of Iobaria, this was no hindrance, as her natural gifts insure a place of esteem for her in the future. But when she left Iobaria on her dajemma her hauteur brought her into conflict with haughty Brevic nobles, touchy Swordlords, and those who just didn't like someone acting like she was better than they. In spite of her spoiled attitude her magical abilities found her and her barbarian bodyguard a place with a party of adventurers exploring the wilderness on the far side of the Icerimes. With his sword and her magic, they were an invaluable addition to the party. Unfortunately, in spite of their individual abilities and teamwork they bit off more than they could chew and were decimated by a trio of trolls. Her bodyguard being killed was Sonechka's first real setback in what until then had been a blessed life. She was more fond of the big brute than she had been willing to admit, and his death touched her deeply. Today she doesn't act quite as spoiled or entitled and thinks more about the needs of others than she did before his death. She's no paladin, but she much is less of an ice queen than she used to be. The fight with the trolls taught her another thing- she needed to diversify her spells. Since that fight she has gone out of her way to learn spells unrelated to cold, since her spells did so little to hamper the monsters who killed half her adventuring party. APPEARANCE:
Inhumanly beautiful, with skin the color of fresh snow and blue eyes so pale they look a ghostly near-white. Her long black hair is as dark as her familiar's feathers. Weighed against her alien perfection of body and face is the long tail she keeps hidden under cloaks or clothes.
In spite of her undeniable beauty, there is an off-putting strangeness about Sonechka that puts people off. Her skin is perpetually cold, like she has just come inside on a frigid winter's day. In warm temperatures, her breath steams in the air like the mist breathing off melting ice. In the dark, her eyes glow a baleful blue-white and she never has trouble navigating in even the deepest night. TRAITS/FEATS
