Dasha
|
Name: Dasha Larinovna
Nationality: Oami Occupation: Healer Birthday: 15th of 7th Moon Age: 28 Appearance: The first thing one would notice about Dasha is her towering height, tall enough that Lisbeth assumed that she came from a race of giants. Second would be her beauty. Should she sprout wings she would not look out of place among the angels. Her build reflects her nomadic lifestyle, rather lean with strong legs. She dresses plainly, more for function than fashion, though she always wears an almost obscene amount of wooden and stone jewelry in the Oami style, necklaces and bracelets being the most abundant. |

What was your family life like?
My family was much like any other Oami tribe. We traveled further into the forest than most of the other tribes, since we're fur traders. We took care of each other, we're very close. We've begun to travel a little further into the forest now that we've defeated the Gayevoi and it's safe for us to continue to travel further into the forest.
What is your socio-economic background?
What's that mean? Oh, okay. My Pa takes care of the animals our tribe keeps, goats, oxen and the like. My Ma is the tribe healer and taught me almost everything she knew about medicine before I left. My Grandmother is the matriarch of the clan, she passes on the stories of the dreamer to the other members of the tribe. My Grandfather is the captain of the hunt, although he's gotten a bit too old to continue to go out on the hunts.
What are your religious beliefs?
I believe in the dreamer, hat he communicates with us through our dreams and occasionally, his dreams bleed over into our world, in the form of visions or other unexplained happenings. It is the dreamer that lead us to the great Oamre forests that protected us during the long dark.
Who are your friends and companions?
Of course, Ermolai is my closest companion and one of the most wonderful men the dreamer has ever been so kind to bring into my life. He is masterfully gifted with a hammer and chisel, creating some of the best tools I have ever seen, he has also carved the most beautiful designs into our caravan, and is always adding more. We met by chance when we were young, our clans happened to cross paths often in the forest and ended up falling in love.
What are your most prized possessions?
The Robes of Many Colors
What motivates you?
At one time in my life, I was running from nightmares in the waking hour. I now am motivated by my responsibility to my family.
How far would you go to achieve your goals?
I’ve killed a man to save my family. But under normal circumstances I typically follow the rules.
If you could choose how you wanted to die, how would you choose to go?
In my sleep, as all Oami would wish to go, beneath the branches of the great redwoods.
