Physical Details: Rusty red hair and haunting green eyes, with a sheep's rectangular pupil and ears that are covered in a layer of silky fur. She has a slightly more rounded face, giving her a prey-type look. Small tail similar to the docked tail of a sheep. Four horns sprout from her head; two twisting off to the side, two beneath very similar to how a lady wears her hair down.

· Bee-keeping and ensuring proper foliage for pollinators
· Cheese making

How do they present themselves: Refined, dutiful, can give the impression she is either incredibly intelligent, or that she has nothing at all on her mind.

Feelings towards being owned / rented: Seems unphased as long as she is treated well; slave seems used to the finer things that a rich owner grants her, but has shown signs of a rebellious nature if bored.

Abilities

Language(s) Spoken: Common, French, a local dialect that is similar to Portuguese.

Can they Read / Write: She is able to read Common, but she can only write in French.

Can your character produce magic: Although she does not produce magic persay, she is able to brew a tea that creates hallucinations and makes those who drink it imagine that they are communicating with the gods.

- Similar to Ayahuasca, her brew is taken together in a ritualistic cermony.
- The trip will often last for days, and those who wish to partake in the ceremony go deep into the woods and build a mud hut to build a fire in. The fire is said to heat the soul itself, and the drink is then sipped slowly while the shaman chants. After drinking, the earthern cup is burned in the flames and shaman and client leave the heat of the hut to lie in the shade. Vomiting is often an essential part of the experience.
- Hallucinations may give an inclination of one's purpose, future, may reveal the true nature of the universe, allow one to come to terms with a violent past, or speak with the gods directly.
- She is not able to tell the future or admit to prophecies.

Talents / Skills:
- Akshara was a shaman in her former home, and a demigod by birth; as such, she is able to document and maintain plants and animals with ease.

- Skilled with cheese making, wine, teas, concoctions, and healing solutions, as well as being able to brew and create all-natural hallucinogens.

What are you looking for in a slave / slaver Roleplay: I'm curious to see how this sort of character will play out in the Tether, and helping people get to know their characters a bit more -- anyone interested in developing a backstory or a history for their character, or who is interested in spiritual healing as a whole.

What are your allowances for your character: Anything permanent, please discuss before hand. I'd be open to ideas.

Long Term/Short Term: Neither one offends me.
