Character History:

Cura had the great advantage of being born into high society right in the Seanchan capital. Her father was a respected and loyal general who had the honor of serving on the Deathwatch Guard. Cura was very close to him as she was growing up and learned her life beliefs, views and loyalties mainly from him. Her mother too was in the Seanchan military and until recently served as a morat'raken. With her parents' background it seemed only natural that Cura had a desire to serve as her parents did. She was trained as any Seanchan is in weapons and fighting, with her eyes only on becoming the best she could. In truth, shecwanted to be a Seeker, or at least a morat'raken. However, that changed when it was found she could be a sul'dam, and this actually delighted her even more. She applied herself studiously and after a few years, and through her father's connections, she came to be a sul'dam who is now privledged to serve under one of the High Blood, a lord

named Vulrick Gushard.

She entered is service at the young age of seventeen, when she was still in training under the lord's other sul'dam. During this time she came to meet a Seeker of the Truth named Visant Shogo, and fell rather obsessively in love with him. Though there is some deeper background to this, it has to suffice to say that a closer relationship never consumated and he rather mysteriously disappeared after two years of Cura knowing him.

Devistated, Cura hunted down the reasons--and the man--responsible for making him disappear, which ended up amounting to a failed assassnation of another Seeker. This man, however, agreed not to report her foolish action if she in turn kept a watch on Lord Gushard and his people, reporting back information. This let her keep her honor. Also, she was worried that if the Seekers were interested in Gushard, he may be up to something that was against the royal family.

Such an arrangement, then, eventually lead Cura to volunteer herself (with the Seeker behind her actions, of course) on a mission that was being lead by a highly respected Captain-General named Sefros Rhapsody. She admired him for his cunning ability in battle and stagedy, his good looks, intellect and manners. All this admiration rather quickly lead to infactuation, and Cura let herself be known as a loyal woman and a sul'dam tobe depended on.

Although she didn't often get to be close to him again, there was a time during an official escort of their lord that Cura and Sefros had a tryst together. However, only days later the Captain-General was sent on a private mission, and Cura did not see him again. What is was he went on, and why he disappeared, she never found out, and she only asked as many questions as she could without lowering her eyes.

Alone, Cura soon found she was with child. Under the impression that Sefros' disappearance had to do with either the Seeker, Cura arranged a careful transfer of command with her father, temporarily being assigned to get training with the royal family's own der'sul'dam. Months later Cura had a daughter, Sefera, and only months after that she went back to work under Lord Gushard. Cura left Sefera with her mother but visited her often.

 

Now, currently, Cura is still serving Lord Gushard and her daughter is five years old, living under Cura's mother's care. The sul'dam now spends her time concentrating on the Forerunners and the Return, yet keeps her ears open for any whispers of her past, too.

 

Extra:

I hope the bio isn't too detailed but I included everything I thought of significant imporantance to her character. I have wanted to play a sul'dam for a while now, but did not want to make one from scratch, whom I had no connection with as a character. So I waited until inspiration struck: Cura was a character I created a good time back for a fanfiction (not WoT related) and I realized that her character personality--a bit obessessive, blindly loyal, dedicated to her job and mission above all else--was just perfect for a sul'dam. But, necessary to her character there were some semi-detailed elements I needed to keep. All in all I hope it's okay because I am super excited to be interacting with her in the WoT universe.
