Oh, the sun crashed down to the ground
The moon rose up to the sky blood red

All the dead climbed up out from their graves
They fell to their knees as the stars started screaming
They fell to their knees as the stars started screaming
Appearance: Arik is beautiful, and very much a Boil girl. Her skin is a warm sun kissed color, both by her genetics and years living under the intense desert sun. She is tall for a water mage, standing at roughly five foot even. Arik has a strong build, although she is more slender than lean and her muscles are most pronounced along her legs and in her arms and shoulders. Arik's skin is smooth and with minimal scars and no tattoos, although she does have a blue-ish birthmark on the inside of her left arm. Arik has long legs and fingers, smooth hips, and pointed breasts. Her eyes and hair are brown, but so dark that they almost look black.
Arik has a heart shaped face with semi-almond shaped eyes. Her features are soft and give her a sort of gentle and approachable look.
Her clothes tend to be standard boil tress, usually multi-layered and comfortable. She has a bronze chain necklace artifact that she wears along her wrist as a bracelet at all times. Around her neck she wears a black necklace with an amber scorpion pendant.
Come one, come all, come see it, believe it
The truth will shine if you open you eyes

Personality: Stable and headstrong, Arik is often times the voice of reason in any group she’s in. She’s good at reading people and is generally easy to talk to and very approachable. One thing Arik will not tolerate is dangerous behavior and she has been known to chase men twice her size out of her bar for starting a fight. She is also very good at stopping things before they start - a trait that has kept her friends out of a good deal of trouble.
Arik is skilled at controlling herself, even when angry or otherwise compromised. She thinks highly of her friends and will not stand for people harming them although she does not hold herself in such a high regard.
Arik is intelligent and quick witted, although she is able to not blurt out everything she thinks in any situation. She hates being in situations where she needs to make fast decisions, preferring instead to take a step back and consider any situation more carefully although she tends to be fairly confident the conclusion she reaches is the right one.
And you'll see it move as it moves on the masses

History: The Hanna clan had always been a small clan branch of the powerful Hakara tribe. By the time Arik was born the only living members of the Hanna clan were her parents and herself, although they still would call themselves Hakara tribe members when necessary. When Arik was three she became the only member of her clan after her parents were murdered by another Hakara branch called ‘Jakes’. The scorpion shifter Blue, who had been on good terms with her family for over one hundred years, slaughtered the majority of the Jakes and then attempted to raise Arik, or at the very least keep her alive. Mostly, Arik was left in her parent’s old home in the Garden Oasis and Blue checked up on her once every month or two. From him she learned to fight and survive and when she was fifteen Arik reopened her father’s old bar and started running it.
Since then, Arik’s business has done very well and she has taken to finding jobs for Blue to do as well. He will give her most of the money he makes and she is rather well off. When her guardian was arrested by the Human royal family Arik went to the castle after Blue had broken out and managed to initiate the current courtship between herself and the Prince of Litharia.
No it didn't stop there, it consumed me
And it crushed me with joy as it's beauty swept through me
And it crushed me with joy as it's beauty swept through me
Roleplay Sample:
Arik was used to kicking people out of her bar, if she didn’t have to do it at least twice it was a dull night for her. What she was not used to was for one of the people she had to throw out being her friend. Another human boy, who she had grown up knowing , had become drunk at a rather alarming rate after only a small amount of mead and had started roughing around with some of her more sober customers.
She sighed and rubbed her temple as she thought. Karry wouldn’t listen to her; he never did even without his head muddled. Which meant violence. Problem was she didn’t want to hit a friend. Arik sighed and frowned at her tall friend, wishing he had been a nice drunk. Even an over friendly drunk would have been better than this. There were seven other men in her bar and Karry seemed to want to start a fight with all of them at once so, in a way, Arik kicking him out would be the best thing for him.
Arik spent a few more minutes standing behind her bar serving the people waiting for drinks before she came to the conclusion that he really needed to leave before he got himself killed. Arik excused herself from her waiting customers and stepped around the bar. Talk first. Then when that failed she would give him a round house kick to the back of the knee and reduce him to a puddle of human and drag him out.
