Background

Born of House Islesi and quickly inducted into their secrets, Syla would have been a perfect spy, if it were not for two problems: Her flightiness and her dullness. She learned well in school, and always tried her best, but she always had problems taking anything particularly seriously. In a hope that the training of a Monk would cure her of this, she was sent to the Cloister of Wisdom once she graduated, and quickly Exalted and took to the martial arts. Her parents were pleased, until she was allowed to see them again and it was found that while she learned the Arts, and indeed, some degree of stealth, she remained guileless and flighty. Upon her graduation, she was encouraged to go out and spread support of House Nellens, to get her away from anywhere politically sensitive, and during this time she learned of her other knack: Asking just the right question, with just the right smile, to get someone to confess. writingservices.ws She has continued to protect her family since then, and followed their orders, the latest being to enroll in a martial-arts tournament on Bel-Air to bring pride to the weak houses.

Appearance

Nellens Syla has long flowing blue hair, strapped down into a tightly done ponytail that reaches down to just about mid-back. Sitting over her shoulders is a simple black robe with blue trimming along it, occasionally fading into green as the ocean does. She wears simple moccasins to cover her feet and although her sleeves cover her arms, wears only the bracers of her H12use under them. She has a medium build, not quite muscled, but toned in her body. Her amber eyes always seem to have a lackluster stare on them, as if viewing the world before her and expecting more than she gets. There always seems to be the sound of soft waves around her, though she never notices them herself.
