• Description

  A tall wyrmme-vixen hybrid. From the looks of her, rather young, though the pronounced limp with which she walks belies youth and health, or at least one of them. She is clad from neck to ankle in as unrevealing a costume as possible -- durable traveling shirt and pants in blue, tight but thick, muting the curvature of her body. A red sash is tied under a strong leather belt which supports a variety of pouches, cases, and other miscellany. A rich, long and well-worn cape hangs across her entire back and down the length of her body, the only accent on the garment being a metallic blue brooch which fastens it across her shoulders and neck.
  
  Zerika's body is a body at war with itself -- punctuated in many places by a clash of blue-and-ebon scale against russet vulpine fur. Her muzzle is split almost perfectly, the right side bearing scales and malformed razor-sharp teeth that just barely manage to close on each other without lacerating her face. Her eyes, likewise, are split, one rather normal in a light, blue hue, the other slitted and punctuated by an aureola of yellow, adding a touch of unintended malice to even the fondest of looks. Her head, formerly sporting well-kept red headfur, has either been shorn or has shed, leaving only her normal fur and scales.
  
  Most of her exposed body looks draconian in nature, scaled and taloned as if she'd been born that way, the only visible vestige of her vulpine descendance being her left paw, which is never far from a solid, oaken staff -- topped in what must either be an imitation or a near to priceless ellipsoid sapphire. Her right arm, by contrast, is covered by a riveted, tiered plate pauldron, offering doubtless redundant defense to her shoulder. Along her entire arm spreads a length of chain mail so fine and brilliant that it could have been assembled yesterday, its only flaws being the spaces where a cluster of spikes have broken through at the elbow.
  
  As to jewelry, Zerika is currently wearing a pendant in gold, set with a red garnet, and her left eyebrow sports a curved, silver bar piercing with spherical tips.

• Personal Details

  Zerika tries to effect a façade of erudite knowledge -- wiser and cleverer than most, she likes to relegate that to 'all'. Helpful and kind, at times, it's a bit of a toss-up as to whether Zerika will be unhelpful, antagonistic and sarcastic, or cheery and supportive. Her mood shifts easily and she's affected deeply by the opinions and feelings of her friends. The opposite is true of strangers and enemies, whose barbs, disrespect and disgust could mean less than nothing to her.
  
  Regardless, lurking not very deep under the surface is a needy femme whose old age, in spite of her appearance, and loneliness lead her more often than not to do bold and stupid things. She is guarded and iron-willed in some situations, but it takes little to reduce her to an insecure, upset child, something she's never been able to shake.
