Personality:

Sihuu is generally a reserved and quiet girl since her family passed away. She has a touch of superstition, amplified by the losses she has experienced and the constant preaching of her ‘aunties’. She enjoys walking on the seashore and collecting pretty objects, especially shells, which she crafts into modest pieces of jewelry. As many young girls are prone to do, she also enjoys gossiping with her friends, especially about romance now that her first crush has fallen upon her. Despite her quiet demeanor, she greatly enjoys festivals and public gatherings; the crowd of people helps her loose her normal inhibitions and she willingly gives in to the chance to sing and dance, momentarily fulfilling her unspoken desire to be the center of attention.

Likes:
Festivals, crafting jewelry, walking along the seashore, collecting objects, gossiping, being placed upon a pedestal.
Dislikes:
Fierce storms, lack of manners in others, being alone, chores.
Fears:
Death, living her life alone, the priests of the Circle.
Appearance:
At 5'8" she is considered tall for a woman of the village. Long legs and a slender but well-toned physique make her an attractive dancer. Her hands are also strong from toiling chores and long, slender fingers give her a nimbleness when crafting and sewing.
Marks/Scars:
A cleft below her lip, a signature of her bloodline.
Hair:
Thick and deep acorn brown, it hangs to her lower back and constantly curls at the ends. She typically wears it loosely pulled back into a ponytail when working, using a leather thong decorated with coloured beads for a tie. Otherwise she lets it flow freely around her shoulders.
Eyes:
Dark green and wide set. Sihuu doesn’t think her eyes are very pretty, as the green color of them is so dark and muddy.
New Green
Clothes:

Sihuu likes to make to her own clothes. During the warmer months, she wears a modest shift dress with short sleeves of woven light brown material, cinched at the waist with a thick leather belt she has decorated with a number of shells and pretty stones. While working she wears a greying apron over top. Summertime often finds her wearing sandals.

She dresses up for festivals, though, and has spent much time painstakingly sewing several fancier, coloured dresses for such occasions. She also enjoys showing off her newest or favourite pieces of handmade jewelry during these times as well.

White Cold
Clothes:
During the cold months, Sihuu changes to a thicker woven, long sleeve dress with several skirt layers that reach down to just above the ground to conserve as much warmth as possible. She bundles her feet in thick boots, which she doesn’t like, as they are heavy and make her feet feel clunky. She also dons a knitted cowl over her head to keep her neck and ears warm, tucking the bottom into her patched coat. A pair of knitted mittens hide in her coat pockets for when she has to stay outside for any length of time.
Jewelry:
A pair of small hoops adorn both ears, plus a single stud and a cuff higher up in her left ear. She keeps a collection of bangles and anklets for the times when she dances at festivals.
History:

Sihuu is a native villager of Iasc. Her family was once large and by her side when she was young and growing up – both parents, two older brothers and a younger sister. That all suddenly changed one night when she was entering her early teens with her father’s death and the disappearance of her brothers who had accompanied him. Left without a mate and half her children, Sihuu’s mother gave up on life and let herself slip away shortly thereafter, leaving Sihuu and her younger sister grief-stricken, bewildered and alone together. The kind but stern elder Werta, a friend of Sihuu’s mother, took pity on the girls and cared for them and slowly they began to move on. Then just a year ago Sihuu’s sister fell victim to the ground quake that rocked the village and later Werta died in her sleep, leaving Sihuu completely alone. Shortly thereafter, Olyn and Braenna, two elderly crones of the village and friends of Werta’s, once again took the dancer girl in.

Her family’s fate sparked deep currents of change in the young girl. While Sihuu could come to grips with her father’s death and the apparent deaths of her brothers in time, she has never quite gotten over her mother’s passing on. The manner in which the older woman simply gave up on life frightened Sihuu to the core of her being, and the knowledge that she and her sister were not enough to keep her mother fighting to go on planted a seed of uncertainty in herself, along with a hidden sense of resentment she has not yet dealt with.

As Sihuu has grown since the time of her family’s passing and is now approaching true womanhood, she is quietly contemplating what will become of her future. She adores her role as entertainer and is still somewhat naïve enough to let herself believe she might stay as such all her life. However, the ground shake, storehouse fire and the starvation of late have slowly been opening her eyes to the real world around her and she fears for the people of the village and what will become of them. There is still much sorting out for the young girl to do.

A brighter point of light in her life is her first crush: Dakin. Although age mates, Sihuu hadn’t taken much notice of the young man until he returned from the ill-fated hunting expedition in the forest last summer. His quiet resolve and bravery at entering the forest spurred an excitement in Sihuu’s stomach when she saw him and she shyly started to find ways to spend time with him in the hopes of discovering if he felt the same way for her. After several such occasions, she secretly kissed him on impulse before running back to her hut and has savored the memory of that magical moment ever since.
