______________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description

Ferra is a rather averagely shaped woman. Her body is toned from years of riding, moving, and performing with her father's exclusive exotic circus. She has very fair skin and white hair that make her icy blue eyes stand out starkly. She often keeps her hair pinned or braided back on the sides so as to not interfere with her work but otherwise down and loose.

For clothes she prefers to wear loose robes or gowns with more form-fitting trousers beneath so that her movement is not hindered when she is either performing or working. Ferra has no piercings or tattoos. She is not partial to fancy clothes or jewelry beyond her performance costume. She does however, have some scars from unfortunate accidents from falls or animals rebelling. Most are on her arms or legs though there are also some on her torso. All are able to be concealed though when needed.

Ferra's appearance or body is not something she rather concerned with or even shy about. It has only been recently as she is shaped into being a "proper lady" that she has had to struggle with "suffocating" dresses, the state of her hair, and how her hands are as rough any laborer's.

By: Elena-Clio

Personality

Outside of performances she is a rather shy and quiet young woman especially around people that she does not know. She keeps her head down and gets work done. She is an independent woman who will not stand to be treated as anything less than equal especially by those that know her. Ferra can and will on occasion speak her mind and most bluntly as well.

Being trained to be a lady has been a trial in the most unfortunate ways for her. Every instance where she would normally be silent and retreat is one she is expected to be open and welcoming. Every injustice she would normally spurn, she instead must be silent and poised. It takes every ounce of her practiced performance confidence and personality to look the part she is meant to play.

Magic/Abilities

Primal beast magic: Since she was small, Ferra has had the ability to attract creatures to her. Most naturally seem to tame under her gentle hand. But that is not to say that all fall under her spell or even that those that do forever remain under it. She has earned the respect the animals give her by returning it in like kind.

Relationships

Parents: Alive and well. Ferra has a working relationship with her father and hardly ever sees her mother.

Older Siblings: Five or six brothers she isn't entirely sure. Some of them she has only seen once or twice if she has ever met them at all. Some are married and off living their lives. A few work for her father and with their traveling entourage.

Younger Siblings: It is possible that Ferra has younger siblings but she does not return home usually with her father to know.

Ghost: Her pet sentient white raven that she raised from a hatchling. Ferra found him during one of her travels through Ravensway as a young girl and her father let her keep him. Ghost is incredibly intelligent and often can be found keeping a close eye on his mistress.

Maumurr: One of many large hunting cats from the Kishahn Jungle that the Bestley family keeps. He is all black with a thick bushy tail and is Ferra's favorite. Mamurr follows her everywhere and sleeps spooned in front of her or at her feet at night. Despite several attempts to take him on hunts without Ferra the beast will not be parted. He has claimed her as his own and he will let no man come between them.

Cocky Bastard: A recent addition to the Bestley family, he is rare peacock pegasus gifted to Ferra by Ro'or Dvorak for her excellent showmanship and expertise. He earned his name from Ferra for being an incredibly flashy beast who if he is not busy preening, is causing trouble of some sort or another. In appearance he essentially has the same coloring and frills of a peacock but on a horse's body and instead of tail hairs he has peacock tail feathers that he likes to display as much as any other male bird of the similar species.

Amleah Dvorak and Ro'or Dvorak: The Dvorak's have recently taken an interest in the Bestley family and offered them their patronage. One of the greatest benefits has been their care, attention, and tutelage of Ferra into a proper lady. On her behalf Ro'or has been instructing her father on seeking a proper noble suitor who could further elevate the family's status. While Ferra believes that the High Lady of Tirial is a delightful woman and truly enjoys her company, she cannot say the same for the lady's twin brother. Ferra equates him to the snake that plays at being tamed moments before it swallows you whole. She tries her best to avoid him as much as possible.

History

The Bestley family is a merchant class family. Though not nobles...yet, they have the money to back their renowned name. Mister Bestley works around the world, showing off his exotic beasts to only the finest of customers and nobles and therefore has connections from coast to coast and top to bottom of the world. He treats his creatures with the utmost care and only purchases them from the very best of breeders. He also makes sure to share the names of these breeders with any interested buyers thus bringing the business back home to those that keep his extravaganza running.

Back in the days of old, long before Mister Bestley's father's father was even born, the Bestley family were livestock farmers. But somewhere in the family line beast magic was awoken and soon the family quietly turned their luck for the better, using their newfound gifts to delight the world with exotic creatures most had never even seen.

That same gift while skipping generations appeared once again Mister Bestley's only daughter who at a young age showed a talent with animals large and small like no other. The beginning years of Ferra's growing up were often filled with time spent out wandering the estate grounds and listening to her parent's arguments regarding her place in the family. Mister Bestley desperately desired to take his little girl along with him as not only was she a beauty to behold even then but she could easily help the business profit with her gift. Missus Bestley on the other hand thought it was disgraceful use of a young woman's time and argued against it.

In the end Mister Bestley won and at age ten, Ferra joined some of her elder brothers and the hired hands in traveling around the world with her father. Growing up on the road was hard especially when one is a little girl with only grown men as company but Ferra would not have given it up for the world. She has seen so much in her travels and loves being able to sleep under a starry sky and spend her days playing and tumbling with a wide variety of beasts. When her family is in their home province, her father often tries to detour to visit his wife. Ferra however, prefers to stay outside of town with the beasts and as such has not seen her mother in nearly a decade.

Recently, after a performance for the new High Lady of Tirial, the Bestley's earned the patronage of the High Lady herself. As a reward for service to Serendipity, Amleah and Ro'or Dvorak have taken in an interesting in seeing to Ferra's training to become a proper lady in order to allow her to be married to a man of considerable wealth and status. It is not something she has been in favor of herself but for her family's sake, Ferra soldiers through the lessons.
