     · Physical Description ·
The most noticeable thing about Agnimitra are her fiery red eyes. They flicker red-orange like living flames and, in the dark, are luminous like a small candle. Her hair is ash grey and cut short and messily - as she generally does it herself. Her skin has a faint red cast to it, like she's just been out in the sun too long or there's a full body blush. She doesn't burn in the sun and actually finds the heat quite enjoyable. As such, she dresses down in a sleeveless, lace the front top and veiled, see through sleeves. There's a sarong that wraps low on her hip, along with a couple thin, gold chain belts.

She has a collection of gold and silver rings, a plethora of earrings of various sizes. Some dangle, some are just studs in her ears, and she sports a simple silver circlet that rests on her head. Agnimitra likes to line her eyes with kohl and, while her lips are naturally quite red, she'll paint them more so to match her eyes.

Most will find her warm to the touch, but not uncomfortably so. Her blood, however, boils when it's spilt and can catch fabrics or dry wood on fire.


     · Personality ·
Agnimitra is the product of a tryst between an ifrit and a human. As such, she has the fickle, fiery, rebellious, and restless nature of her father coupled with the need to occasionally be social, to be helpful, that she got from her mother. Agnimitra can be charming, if someone is nice to her, and laughs easily, but her temper is quick and fierce. She doesn't forget grudges and her revenge is not always upfront, but she always tries to pay back what she feels is owed.

Money doesn't mean too much to her, but she likes favors, deals, and things done for her. Gifts of gold or silver jewelry, with no strings attached, are nice too. Trying to trick her generally doesn't work - she's quick to pick up when things feel off or odd - and she'll laugh off the attempt. The first time. Like it's a good joke. The second, she'll just be insulted.

Her favorite place is the desert. Beneath the sun, free roaming with her pack of banda ( explained below ). She also enjoys guiding people around the desert since the heat doesn't bother her and she'll usually do it for something as little as news, the aforementioned gifts, or good company. Agnimitra will take money as a last resort.



     · Magic / Abilities ·
Agnimitra can endure almost anything the desert can throw at her. Hot temperatures don't faze her, she can go extended periods of time without water - and seems to know where the next oasis is innately -  and thinks the hot sand is actually quite comfortable to lay in. Rather, if she leaves the desert, Agnimitra is quite uncomfortable. The world is cold outside of Moraki and she wouldn't survive long if she went too far north.

Being half ifrit, she has the innate control, command, and the ability to summon fire or heat. Being able to produce it at will comes naturally to her though it is not something she flaunts. Agnimitra will defend herself, if necessary, but she's not much of a fighter. She'd much rather have her pets do the murdering.

Agnimitra is quite in tune with the desert and, in particular, the banda that roam there. She's generally attended by three. Two female and a male. While she cannot converse with them, they respond and react to her commands without hesitation. She raises them up from egg and they imprint to her after she gives them a taste of her blood, viewing Agnimitra as their pack leader and form a bond to her. Drawn to her by the unnatural blood she has, she'll occasionally come across wild banda and they don't bother her.
Her banda are named : Male Lagul, Female Nasri, Female Sevvri.

She can find sources of water and sense where large predators might be - what to avoid, when rain might fall. The desert is her home and, in a way, also her vast, hot cage. She might be able to leave it for a time, but Agnimitra would find all her abilities start to dwindle and her connection with the banda fade. Too far north, and into the cold, and she would freeze to death no matter how close to a fire she might be.

     · Banda ·

Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.

Banda are scavenger / hunters in the Moraki Desert. They are voracious when they find something they consider a meal and roam a large territory searching for something to eat. Mature banda stand at 5', upright, and hatch from sandy colored eggs. Clutches are small and hatchlings fight until only one remain. The rest are eaten. Generally, they are too wild to be tamed and are usually seen as a menace, to lone travelers or small caravans, or a nuisance to larger merchant caravans.

As pack hunters, they are smart, quick, and work together to isolate and take down their prey. Usually preferring targets that are already going to be easy to pick off : someone that wanders off for a bathroom break, a lagging animal, someone up alone for watch, children, etc. They will run from a fight they are losing and will not engage in a fight they obviously cannot win. Banda usually leave one to guard the nest while the rest of the pack will roam to hunt.

Lagul
He's an older banda, mottled in browns and a scarred frill on the top of his head. He's the shortest of those with Agnimitra but he's been with her the longest. His eyes are a deep maroon and always alert. Ill tempered, Lagul can be snappy to those she might guide across the desert but he's never actually hurt anyone. He just doesn't like them.

Nasri
She's the defacto leader of the small pack of banda when Agnimitra isn't around. She's hiss at the others to get them in line, she leads hunts, and she's vicious. She has pale, brown/green on her, with a plethora of scars, and a brighter orange on her frills. Her eyes are a bright red that nearly match Agnimitra's flames. She's the tallest of the banda and easily the most violent. She generally ignores other people that Agnimitra will have around them unless they do something her bonded doesn't like. You'll know. She'll hiss at you too.

Sevvri
With bright stripes of orange and pale green, she's the middle of the three in regards to size. Her frills are small and usually pressed close to her head, and she walks with her head held parallel to the ground. She's always watching and eerily quiet, with her front left fang chipped and shorter than the other. She's the youngest but that doesn't mean she's timid by any stretch. She's a fast hunter and quick to the kill when the situation calls, going from quiet motion to explosive action quickly. She is also the most affectionate with Agnimitra and she tries to sleep next to her bonded.
