Character Name: Kizuna Morinagare

 

Age: 19

 

Profession: Damane

 

Weapon (primary): None.

 

Personality:

 

Though initially optimistic, Kizuna's personality has changed to pessimism after she had been declared damane. Naturally spirited, she refuses to give in completely and lose the scraps of her former identity she is still clinging to despite the efforts of the sul'dam in breaking her. They did however manage to make her do as she is told, and some of the less conservative sul'dam are content with that.

 

She has degraded into a cold, emotionally distant personality that cares as little about others as others appear to care for her. She still retains a bit of free-spiritedness that pops up every now and then, usually in the form of an annoyed glare or a sarcastic comment. Though she's careful with the latter around sul'dam, acting reserved (and sometimes deliberately exaggerating so) where they are able to overhear.

 

Physical Description:

 

A bit shorter than the average Seanchan, Kizuna stands at 5 ft 5, weighing around 121 pounds. She has raven black hair reaching down to the small of her back in length, and has hazel eyes. Her build is lean, and would be called willowy if she had been taller than she is. She has a heart shaped face with a small and pointed nose and long thin eyebrows.

 

Clothing wise, she doesn't have much in the way of choice, given her 'profession'. Though her wardrobe, as a damane, is limited to gray dresses, gray dresses and more gray dresses, she formerly tended to wear faint colors, believing it set off her eyes and hair better.

 

Place of Birth/Raising: Shon Kifar, Seanchan

 

Character History:

 

Kizuna was born as the second daughter of Hana and Shiro Morinagare. Being proud of her looks, she emulated her older sister during the time she'd spend combing her hair or choosing which dress to wear, which developed quite a bit of pride in the girl's personality. Much like her older sister, she soon became a member of the 'popular crowd' that had earned the attention of a large number of boys in the village. Not wanting to see his daughters get into something they couldn't handle, he tried to teach them both the basics of how to use a sword, but only his eldest daughter turned out to have some talent in that area. Even if he didn't exactly expect his daughters to use live swords on a boy interested in them, sticks could be used as swords just as well if they'd stick to the basic movements, right?

 

However, Kizuna developed a rivalry of sorts against a girl living in her neighbourhood, forcing her to actually compete for attention. To make matters worse, she didn't even appear to try! After doing her best to try and outdo Amyante in everything, she eventually gave up after noticing the girl held no grudges or ill intentions towards her. Talking to her, she actually felt the two of them had a lot in common, and had the impression they could be good friends instead.

 

The two started talking to each other more often, and Kizuna took to watching Amyante as she went through some basic forms -- not all of them successfully. After that, the two of them would usually just sit in the grass and talk to each other about what they planned to do when they were old enough. Ideas shifted between one and the other fairly often, until the time troops from Shon Kifar came marching past. It was then that Kizuna had known what she wanted to be, looking at the sul'dam. To be able to control the power of a damane, and in doing so protect the people -- maybe even the Blood! -- from the threat a marath'damane could pose. Looking next to her, she followed her friend's gaze up into the sky, noticing the raken in the air. Chuckling, she commented that it suited her, having her head in the clouds like that, to which Amyante joked back about a sul'dam's damane being the closest thing to a servant someone not of the Blood could have.

 

One day, a government official came by to test the girls on their potential. Kizuna was one of the first present for the gathering, her farm being closer to the town center than most. She smiled expectantly as she saw a man approach her with an a'dam and held out her arm to him, confident that she was to wear the bracelet, but when the a'dam snapped shut around her neck instead it felt to her as if all her hopes and dreams shattered in that instant. A marath'damane? Her? This had to be a mistake, she couldn't be...

 

Unfortunately for her, she was. And when she was led up to a cloth-covered wagon that hid her -- and some girls from the surrounding villages, she now noticed -- from view, she had a very real feeling she'd never see her friends and family again. As the cart lurched into motion, she vaguely wondered if Amyante would make it to morat'raken one day...

damane is the ones tested and found instantly

 

marath'damane is wilders ie the title mean something like unleashed damane or some such

 

as such since she was tested and taken she was never a marath'damane, solemly a damane

 

so consider the bio CC'ed when the marath has been removed

Ah, must have been a misunderstanding on my behalf then. As those that can be taught to channel end up being sul'dam, i assumed that by extension, all the girls that tested positive on being a damane were wilders, and thus, until Leashed, marath'damane by default.

[Liitha]

yes all with spark, but when tested and leashed ie being told your taken away, they are damane

 

marath'damane is unleashed damane, ie those with a spark not leashed but who have started channeling...once leashed your a damane, so someone caugth in testing wouldnt have been a marath'damane they go straigth from being civilian to being damane

 

so you got two ways from civilian to damane

 

civilian -> damane (which is this case)

civilian -> marath'damane -> damane (ie a wilder who learned to channel on their own before being caugth)

Ah k, thanks for the heads up. Will ask Coren if he wants her resubmitted after the edits or whether he'd prefer to fix it himself ^^;

[CorenYi]

I mentioned this when we were discussing the bios previous to me posting them... I just didn't realise it hadn't been removed. It's fixed now.
