The Dancing Jaguar

Itotiani B'ahlam

A young Xbr'aali woman from Iq Br'aax trained by the masters of dance in Thavnair.

Name: Itotiani B'ahlam
Race/Tribe: Xbr'aal
Gender: Female
Eyes: Light blue
Fur: White, tawny brown
Place of Origin: Iq Br'aax
Age: Mid-Twenties
Profession: Dancer, Adventurer
Orientation: Bisexual, leaning male
Personality: Tia is an insatiable flirt, but that isn't to say she isn't actually incredibly innocent. She gets away with most of her flirting by boldly playing games of flirt-chicken. But push her too far, and she will melt into a puddle of embarrassment. Her haughty, femme-fatal energy is a mask she wears, as if she never stops performing, and clings to her stage personality. But there's more to her than just sultry compliments and suggestive winks.Backstory: Itotiani, or Tia to her close friends and family, is a Xbr'aal from Iq Br'aax. She grew up with 3 brothers, all of which are part of the Brotherhood, and always treated her as their special little sister growing up. She played into that role until one day when a traveler made their way through Iq Br'aax. They were a Dancer, and she instantly fell in love with the discipline. It came naturally to her, and made her excited to get up early and train hard, pushing her body to its limits. When she came of age, she told her parents she was going across the salt to Thavnair in order to learn the art of Dancing. Reluctantly, after much pleading, they agreed to let their young daughter go. She spent a handful of years living in Radz-at-Han and training under the famous performer Aron, up until the events of the Final Days. She worked with her teacher to save as many citizens as she could, and when they made it out alive, Tia decided to return home and use what knowledge she had accumulated in order to help her fellow countrymen. Now, years later, Tia has returned to Tural, eager to prove what she learned and that she's not a little sister to be coddled anymore.

From Iq Br'aax- Maybe you grew up with her! The village isn't too large. But she used to be quiet.

Thavnairian Dancer- She studied Dancing for several years in Radz-at-Han, other Thavnairian dancers would know of her. Hrothgar women are rare in the city.

Traveling Tural- Are you new to Tural? She would be happy to play tour guide and show you around.

Saloon Girl- If you're visiting Shaaloani, you may have seen her dancing at the Saloon in Hhusatahwi. She's willing to take a break and have a chat over some drinks.
Carnaval-
Native to Tural? She just participated in the Ihih'hana Carnaval and danced on the winning float. She is easily recognizable as the Yok Tural float dancer.

Hi! Thanks so much for your interest in my character. Let me know if you are interested in roleplaying with me!

A few things I want people to know about me before they start writing with me is that I take the separation of IC and OOC very seriously. I'm a married woman in my 30s and like to keep things respectful. I only do fade-to-black, if the RP comes to that, mostly because I just don't have an interest in ERP anymore. I'm also not able to write very combat-heavy scenes (it isn't my expertise) but I do still enjoy combat. Just don't expect me to know any fancy maneuvers!

I'm interested in plots that feature character growth, drama, fun flirting, romance, and dark themes. I love getting to know other characters, deep talks, and forming bonds. I'm still learning about this new character too, so bare with me.
My schedule is a bit full, I work a 9-5 job and am in office three days a week, so I'm not on every single day. If you'd like to RP together, just message me, and we can pick out a time that week that we are both free. [Send me a message on Discord! @portiabartel]
