The papers were crisp and fresh, and smelt slightly of the sea and new ink.
Clearly hallmarks of a 'fresh' delivery to the establishment.

Feelings towards being owned/rented: Indifferent. As much as she would prefer being freed again, she is well aware that her manumissio is now in the hands of whoever holds her cloak. Rest assured that should she get her hands on it however, getting her back would not be easy.
Overall Attitude: Intelligent if not somewhat instinct-centered, with an appreciation for variety. Seems to show a keen knowledge of cultures rooted in antiquity.

*Animal Ken: can communicate through 'feral' speech to avians. Seems to be able to gain their trust easily and has a certain measure of empathy regarding them.

General Information
Character Description:
Eurasian Collared Dove. With the scent of narcissus in the air and those cocoa-brown eyes lowered, the seemingly human woman hailed from a culture rooted deep in antiquity. A stola of fine dyed cotton was clasped at her fair shoulders by a silver fibula, falling to the ground and around her bare feet in pleats, while a palla was often fidgeted with by those slender, scarred hands - the shawl was as much of a sign of a former well-founded status as it was a comfort blanket. Shoulder-length curls, tousled and wild, paired well with a heart-shaped face. Once a Centurion's prize of battle, her needed cloak of feathers held by those in charge. Whimsical shapeshifter bound to the ground, defiant yet to the untrained eye, quite sweetly submissive. Femme fatale under a naïveté surface, a charming yet psychologically manipulative and willing slave.

Notes:
I. All attempts to accuratly portray an Ancient Roman woman have been undertaken. I do re-enacting of her period as a hobby. Constructive criticism is welcome but a head's up - I am thorough with my research.
II. Storyline ideas --
One - For someone to finally work out those little mind games she does with people. Whether it is because they are manipulative dicks themselves or simply see through them, doesn't matter. The games are a defence. I would like for someone to eventually draw her out of the cold little shell she has withdrawn into since her enslavement.
Two - Ancient Roman, Greek or Gaul characters for her to interact with.
III. Time period (for backstory scenes & characters)
64 BC - born
63 BC - Pompey captures Jerusalem
53 BC - Rome defeated at the Battle of Carrhae, vs the Parthians
49 BC - Caesar crossed the Rubicon
44 BC - Caesar murdered, and as her owner was loyal to him and killed in the aftermath/struggle, she was sold on to The Realmwalker and shipped to Guildereim.
