Cairi Marr, Summer-Sky Priestess
Assistant to Bonnie McLeod
Cairi has worked hard from the moment of her birth, and it shows. She is dark skinned, tanned to an even darker hue by her early years working in the sun, and her love of sunbathing. Her dark hair, cut too short for the sun to lighten it, is far, far too short for a proper highborn hair style. The thin, aquiline features of her face, her well-toned, beautifully shaped legs, and strong body only reinforce the imagery of a hardworking woman.
While she dresses appropriately for a Priestess at Court, she has never lost the loose limbed, sensual walk of the half-feral farmer's daughter she was, nor the tendency to tuck her feet up under her when sitting. She is often sans shoes, simply using Craft illusions to conceal her feet if anyone seems to notice. High Priestess Bonnie is working tirelessly to correct Cairi's posture, but when Cairi forgets herself she slouches; if she's happy to see someone, she gives them a hug, if she is thrilled, she squeaks and bounces; if she is in a hurry, she runs.
She has a tendency to fidget at long Court functions, although she is the picture of serenity at equally long and tedious religious Ceremonies.
Cairi has not merely the Caste of Priestess, but the sacred calling as well. She has a keen sense of honor, and an understanding of the full ramifications of the decisions of the powerful from the perspective of the power-[i]less[/i]. This allows her to cut through the platitudes and excuses so many nobles use to justify expedience over justice. Her inner peace is not the result of perfection, it is simply that she fully understands redemption and reconciliation, so that she can forgive even her own mistakes.
She loves the Blood and embraces their ability to balance their primitive, draconic nature without being reduced to animal-like brutality - when it comes to other people. When it is her own instincts being driven by the primitive side, she struggles to let go and live in the moment.
Cairi is a thinker, prone to over-planning and self-doubt when forced to make a decision quickly. She is likely to talk a friend's ear off about every possible consequence and problem that could arise from this haste.
And Cairi does love to talk to as well as listen to others. She is endlessly curious about people, especially the Jewelled Blood. She is a skilled listener, good at prying information out of the shy or angry through patience and careful questions.
