Background

Born Safiya Wambui to a family in the East, she grew up around and serving the Dragonblooded from birth like her parents. However, unlike her parents, she was always unhappy with her position, and constantly sought ways to lower others to her level - with tricks, pranks, and jokes. Her behavior was innocent enough at first, but when people started catching on to her true nature, she took it as a challenge. Her pranks culminated in a final trick, convincing a higher-bred youth into diving into the nearby river after a "lost" heirloom. When the youth didn't surface, she went in after at the risk of her own life, bringing the boy up safely before losing herself in the current.

She washed up far from home, and after spending days wandering the woods repenting her cruel tricks, Luna not only visited her, but granted her Exaltation. Soon, she was taken in by a wandering pack, put through her trials, tattooed, and sent to work under a Mentor. They had a friendly work ethic about socializing, wheeling and dealing, and Safiya, now Leaf-Colored Shadow, managed to get her Mentor to let her try her own hand at it. She came back to her home as Elina, an honest girl looking for honest servant work, weaseling her way into the hearts of her employers, as well as their pockets.

It didn't take long for the news of Fokuf's assassination to reach her satrap. She quickly closed a deal that would end with her in the Realm, taking a position as a prominent servant to further the Silver Pact's hold on the Realm - that, or just pull off the biggest trick she'd ever been able to plan for.

Appearance

Young, comfortably short and always up on the latest fashion, Safiya never lacks for presence or confidence. She wears her ridiculously long green hair in whatever style is most popular at the time, and if she doesn't know the current trend, she puts them in ever-popular twin ponytails. She prefers the loose robes and comfortable fit of common servant clothing, but she spices it up with what jewelry she can steal or afford, passing herself off as slightly more privileged than her "fellows". Her skin is peachy, her eyes are moss-green, and her smile is that of a practiced trickster.

Charms

Dexterity

First Dex Excellency: 1m/1d, Reflexive, Instant. Adds 1 die to a Dexterity roll per mote. This Charm can also enhance unrolled uses of the relevant Attribute.

Golden Tiger Stance: 2m, Reflexive (Step 2), Instant. This Charm is used in response to an attack. The Charm eliminates up to (Dexterity) points of penalties that apply to the character’s Dodge and Parry Defense Values.

Wary Swallow Method: 1m, Reflexive (Step 2), Instant. Removes the unexpected quality from one attack, allowing the character to use her appropriate defense values and defensive charms. Attacks that are unblockable and undodgeable remain so.

Charisma

Second Charisma Excellency: 2m/success, Reflexive, Instant. The character’s player may invoke this Charm when making a roll based on the relevant Attribute (Strength). The character spends up to (Attribute) in motes, adding one success to the roll for every two motes.

Dog-Tongue Method: 1m 1wp, Simple, One scene. Character can speak and understand animals. May be activated without the willpower cost to only understand/speak with the animal whose shape she currently takes. May also speak any human tongue as an animal.

Terrifying Lust Infliction: 5m, Combo-OK, Emotion, Social, one scene. This charm supplements a Social roll to rouse physical cravings in one or many targets (using presence or performance). This roll takes an internal penalty equal to the group's Magnitude. This charm exerts an unnatural mental influence whose Mental Defense Value is less than the character's successes. Two willpower can be spent to resist this effect.

Appearance

Hide of the Cunning Hunter: 2m, Reflexive (Step 2), Indefinite. This very basic Charm allows the Lunar Exalted to conceal any distinctive marks they might have, including their protective moonsilver tattoos. With just a second of concentration, any of the tattoos, scars or blemishes the character desires fade completely into the Lunar’s body, where they cannot be detected by sight or touch. (Supernatural senses still reveal them.) They remain hidden as long as the character commits the necessary Essence.
