The Golden Tether

Full Name: Cochitta ("to dream, seeing in your dream"; mystic).
- She is an Espallish Moor; one of Barabic descent from the Iberian peninsula. Her first Owner took her with him to the 'New World' (Drakoria) where he was killed. She was enslaved, and while there, was eventually granted a name of her own. As part of her conditioning but as a way to step forwards in her identity, she grew to use her new name above all else. Her true name is Domitila.

Body Type: Anthropomorphic; humanoid furre.

Physical Details:
5'4". Fair, delicate features; large, dark tiger-orange eyes flecked with the glimmer of precious gold, framed in dark lashes. A petite, button nose was occasionally adorned with a stud or small ring of gold, while those soft, sensual lips were often set in a faint smile as though inwardly amused by something. Those black-tufted ears are her trademark, not unlike that stubby tail of hers. To mid-back, and on occasion to the small of her back just above the curve of her buttocks, does her long, glossy silken-smooth hair grow, straight with only the most subtle of waves. Her fur is short, plush and soft to the touch; tawny, faintly paler from her cheekbones down, throat, underside and ending at her inner thighs. Her chocolate-brown and in some places, black markings appear to be daubed-on. Spots and subtle stripes, not too unlike as if daubed on. 'Brow, cheeks, shoulders, back, upper arms, tail and thighs.

Gentle feminine curves paired well with a light muscle-tone in a manner that was aesthetically pleasing; pleasant on the eyes, a dancer's graceful poise and intimate awareness of how to carry herself, of her body's subtle strength and elegance. Full but not grossly oversized breasts, a soft not paunched abdomen, and well-balanced hips. She shows the most signs of softness in her thighs and buttocks. Digitigrade legs; occasionally the sweet tinkling of slave bells sound out her steps.

Physical Drawbacks:
Stubby tail; according to some feline sorts, this is something to be frowned on despite it being a very ordinary feature of her species.

Claws and teeth. She has the potential to develop an aptitude for sai-fighting.

Appealing Attributes:
Pleasantly feminine physique; light, supple and lithe without being frail, skinny or weak.

Clothing:
Golden armbands on each upper arm. Occasional golden chains decorating at her ears {at renters' discretion} and a knee-length white loincloth secured by golden chains. She frequently goes topless, but may wear a nearly-sheer shift or a simple tie of white material as requested. Slave demonstrates no shame in nudity, and does not see it as exclusively sexual.

Phobias:
Ecclesiophobia – fear of churches. This extends to religious figures, or zealous followers.

Disorders: Situational Anxiety.

How do they present themselves:
Submissive, appropriately spirited, innocent and on occasion, whimsical and easily amused.

Feelings towards being owned / rented:
Seemingly dependent entirely on the renter in question. She holds weak-willed owners to some degree of contempt, but will naturally obey them regardless. Stern patrons will get a significantly more genuine submissive response out of her, although her service is as much motivated in those cases by fear of failure as it is fear of what reprisals might happen if she earns their disapproval. She strives to become a better slave, to learn talents, skills and to undergo training that will increase her value.

Overall Attitude:
On the surface, she is a delightfully optimistic, expressive and sweet young woman with naive charm and a perpetual submissive charm to her mannerisms and perceptions. She is generous, friendly and of a warm heart, kind to those she meets and a shoulder to lean, cry or vent on. She takes a measure of pride in being a source of calm, and tries to take the neutral road in any disagreement. A hopeless romantic with her heart on her sleeve.

Under the surface, she is quite cynical, having both witnessed life on the lower tiers of society and naturally, her enslavement as well. She takes the words of others at face value, and her trust takes time to earn. Respect in the purest sense, must also by earned rather than forced. Any religion that she might once have followed has instead been tempered down into a more casual animism, believing that wild, uncontrolled and whimsical spirits of nature are more likely than a governing, law-abiding higher being.

Quirks:

Herblore | Music | Mythology | Learning of new cultures |

High or Low Maintenance:
Low. The slave is capable of taking care of not just herself, but any other slaves within a household, despite her young age. Her girlish presentation does well to hide a sensible head on her shoulders. She can cook, clean and transcribe where necessary.

Heavily carnivorous, yet with something of a sweet tooth. / She has an intolerance but not an allergy to large amounts of plant material.
