Aaminah Lepere; Accepted - Black Widow, SS/Opal
Topic Started: Sep 8 2007, 05:44 PM (294 Views)
Aaminah Lepere
Black Widow
Summer Sky - Opal
Black Widow teacher in Dharo

Character Name (first and last): Aaminah Lepere
Age: 36
Caste: Blackwidow
Social Status: aristocrat
Birthright: Summer Sky - 32
Offering: Opal - 53
Race: Dharoan (is that right?)
Birth Territory: Dharo Kaeleer

Starting Money: 850

Appearance:
Aaminah is not plain, nor is she overly beautiful. She is typical of an aristo female. Attractive enough to stand out when in the presence of lower caste, but all too easy to overlook when among her peers. Typical of Aristos the attraction is to her confidence, her expensive grooming, and the wonder that nobles hold over others.

She has brown hair and eyes, nails darkened and long as any black widow’s. She carries herself as any proper woman born to the aristocracy, lending it’s own kind of beauty to her. Most that meet her see a woman strong and proud and assume she is hard. She has no problem letting them think that. Some few see the warmth in her eyes and fewer still know that that warmth supercedes any threat her black nails might hold for them.

She wears her jewels proudly along with her black widow pendant, all the gold dust sealed into the bottom half of the pendant indicating she is fully trained.

Personality:
She can be stern and determined, but those that know her realize it is only when she feels someone needs a push. There is a warmth in her but it is difficult to reach beneath her aristo mask. She has played the games of court all her life and plays them well. Her jewels are light but she is not to be underestimated, her intelligence and wisdom often more than making up for a lack of jewel strength when confronting a rival.

Before she warms to you, if she warms to you, she is as cold and calculating as any in the court of Soleil Evared. Aaminah is wary at first meeting, keeping much of herself hidden to provide no reason to think her anything other than a dutiful servant in the Dharo court. In truth much of what happens in the court sickens her, but she cant let any see it. This can be exceedingly difficult to do when she tends to her duties in the hourglass coven. The fact that she still lives is a testament to her will power, intelligence, and skill as a black widow.

Her great joy in the coven is teaching and training other black widows. It seems that the lightness of her jewels has aided her desire to teach since she has never been able to cut corners in her training as darker jeweled black widows are wont to do.

Likes:
horseback riding
teaching
learning
all things pertaining to black widows and craft
Dharo
Kindred

Dislikes:
Aristos
Soleil and Rhone
Any Evared family member
Those that corrupt the Dharo coven under orders from Soleil
Failure to live up to your abilities.

Bad Habits:
Dismissing all Aristos as fools
Disregard for authority
Disregard for protocol

Fears:
Being kicked out of the Dharo coven
Her feelings for the rulers of Dharo being discovered
Her inaction contributing tot the corruption of the Dharo coven.

History:
She was born to Dhara Lepere a purple dusk witch and Gavin Messing a Summer sky warlord. They never were that ambitious and managed to stay out of the way of the Evared family and politics surrounding them and the court. For the most part they were ill-equipped to deal with their ambitious daughter. They seemed constantly tired and exasperated at her insistence to learn and do more. Once she was ready they were happy to send her to the hourglass coven in Dharo and return to the peaceful lives they left eighteen years ago.

Once in the coven she did not make friends. She was driven to be the best she could at a time when all that mattered was how well Soleil or Rhone thought of you. The rest of the coven would let their duties and studies fall to the side as they played their social games in the court. Her only teacher worth anything was an old teacher that saw in Aaminah a kindred spirit. However, that teacher had been dead for the last five years leaving Aaminah alone.

Aaminah’s only comfort comes from the tangeled webs she weaves, and she weaves them all the time. Many events and outcomes are hinted at, but the overriding theme that repeats with some frequency suggests she should leave the coven to find students worthy of her teaching skills.

Family and Friends:
Dhara Lepere: Mother
Gavin Messing: Father
Siblings: none

Aaminah was already a skilled black widow of journeymaid rank at the young age of 18, the youngest her parents would allow for her to make her offering. It had been all she could think about since she received her journeymaid hourglass pendant. Others had said they saw a dark jewel in her future and upon her offering she stood to receive an opal or green jewel. Being lighter jeweled had made her work harder in craft and her caste skills, but it seemed the webs they wove responded better to the darker jewels, the webs would reveal more, resonate more, be more powerful, there would be more she could do, more she could learn. In the end it was always about a need to maximize her abilities in craft and caste, not for power but out of a sense of obligation, to her sisters in the coven, and to the blood in Dharo.

There were no theatrics. Aaminah simply went to the priestess at the altar observed protocol and the formalities, gave the priestess the standard payment, and followed her instructions. She knelt, cut her hand, offered the blood, drank the spiced mixture that contained her blood, and began the chanting. She descended past her birthright, past the purple dusk, to alight at the opal. She felt its dark power fill her, promising to fill the webs she wove with the same. Some had said that the experience was draining and a bit frightening. Aaminah simply embraced the new power, never fighting it, lettering her flow into it and it flow into her.

When the priestess came to check on Aaminah the next morning, she was mildly surprised to see Aaminah already recovered and ready to get back to her studies and weaving.
