Miahka Mhori
The Witch of Coerthas
Beginning Anew
Hailing from deep within the Othard Mountains, Miahka comes from a rather Unknown tribe of Xaela that lived a relatively peaceful life. Up in the mountains, where the stone meets the sky, they called home. They would praise the Moon and the Sun, Dusk Mother and Dawn Father. The ideals of Fate drive them. The stars tell their futures. Their ceremonies are sacred and their duties clear. She was raised here with purpose, she was trained and taught for her part in the Tribe.War would soon consume the Tribe, like a plague. Strife weaned its way into their lives, and their core beliefs would soon fall to ruin. A Tribe lost to the winds, scattered into the sky's to join the stars. So she got as far away from what remained of her Tribe as she could. Eorzea called her, and a new land would unveil a new path for the woman. Ishgard, the furthest point she could go, would be her new home.She would work, until she could afford her own shop. Small, overgrown with flowers and fauna, she made her new home as the Witch. Word spreads, and from commoners to nobles people would soon venture to her shop for potions and wears. Her mystery drew people in, and her smile made them stay to buy. It took time, it took work, but she would soon have a large clientele of Noble folk who needed remedies for ailments they weren't always too happy to be vocal about, and she would find them. A fair price, for their secrets.Miahka's specialty became subterfuge - gaining power and rank through the secrets she housed in her little shop. She would rise through the circles of nobility while they stare with bitter contempt, that an outsider - a savage, no less, became one of them. A life of luxury is what she wished - for herself, and only her. However she got that mattered little, there was no moral compass to drive her actions. It had been left behind in the Steppe.

Miahka is small, dainty. Somewhere between lithe and lean - soft undertones of muscles hidden under moon-touched skin. Long brown hair that shines and sways with the wind, well kept. A slightly rounded face, but with pointed features. Crystal eyes, sharp and focused, so easily bore into the soul.Nary a blemish upon her skin it almost looks like an illusion. No scars, no moles or marks. A blank slate. It's soft, it's cared for - but it's poised all the same. Scales line her frame, not overly fantastical in their nature. They look much like the common Au Ra's scales, but would extend longer in places, wrapping around her arms or legs. They highlight her form, even though they are a deep black with specs of ink blue.Her lethality is subtle. Sharpened claws to a point, spikes upon her tail. Walking with a practiced grace, silent footsteps that never announce her arrival - unless she wants to be heard. Subterfuge is her speciality, and she would hold herself with a certain air of superiority.Miahka can be cold, hurtful, and a bit of a bitch. She is not unfeeling, just unwilling. She can be egotistical, and thinks only for her own betterment, no one else. As long as she succeeds in her plans, she cares not for those around her. She can be difficult to get to know; two faced, untrustworthy at times, her motives hidden.Her eyes a hard stare, her lips curl into a soft sneer. She thinks very highly of herself, and very lowly of others. To impress her is something you don't realise you're trying to do.
Secrets worth Selling
- Of the Steppe; Miahka can be, sometimes, unwelcoming to certain Tribes of the Steppe. She holds a lot of stubbornness about their homelands... but it doesn't mean she's entirely unwilling to try and befriend more of her kin. Living up in Ishgard, they seem rarer by the day.- (Uncommon) The Witch of Coerthas; If your character lived and lingered in Ishgard for long enough surely heard of a mysterious, tattooed Xaela that lived in the frigid colds of Coerthas amidst the Dragonsong War. She fought for neither side, only herself. Though she has not been seen in more recent years. Hidden in plain sight.- Apothecary; Miahka has expanded her Apothecary business since opening her little shop in Ishgard. Another small Apothecary under the same name has since opened in Limsa Lominsa, too. Though they are both manned by a general clerk, you can find her at either of these stores, checking stock, ordering resupplies, or crafting the more complex potions needed for clients herself.- (Uncommon) Secrets and Shadows; Discreet needs can be met at her apothecary, secrecy is paid for tenfold. Miahka is trusted to keep these secrets to herself, though is not against levying her knowledge in order to get something she wants, in return. Her network allows for her to find information or exclusive items for someone, too.- (Uncommon) Magic and Spellcraft; Miahka fills her life with magic and spells. She is not afraid of magic, and is more than willing to experiment in fields more frowned upon; in secret, of course. She travels far and wide in search for more unknown spellcraft and alternative means to harness magic. If your character also has a keen interest, perhaps Miahka has heard of them and may seek them out?- A Woman of Trade; With the expansion of her Apothecary, as well as the untimely demise of her husband, Miahka has swept the man's trade business into her own and now oversees it. The forefront of the business deals with books, potions and reagents, fine silks, and magical items. She has ties between Ishgard, Thavnair and Ul’dah at present, but is always working on more.- The Widow; Many in Ishgard will have heard of her husband's recent death. A trial by combat that left him guilty in the eyes of Halone. The details as to his exact crimes were kept relatively secret. It could give reason for one to approach her. Either curiosity, or sympathy for the grieving widow.

Disclaimer
Miahka is not supposed to be a good character. She lies, she cheats, and she hurts people for her own gain. This is not a reflection of my OOC self! She is antagonistic, with a big ego and superiority complex. She's also complex, and deeper than all these things.Miahka would never lure someone into a false monogamous relationship, she is open about her polyamorous nature. That being said, she isn’t going to just date anyone for any reason so please don’t approach me if that is just your sole intention. RP relationships are nice, sure, but I like more substance and character building first.
