Pia Ejinn

The Ejinn Piranha, with a bite far worse than her bark...

History

Having been born to a rather quiet family, ever since she was a child Pia had always been a rowdy one. Chasing fish in the water, and small creatures on land, it seemed the small Ejinn girl was always on the move. Many at that time thought she would mellow out with years and age... But It seemed she did the opposite. Each summer after a fateful event that made her even more fired up than ever to defend her tribe, Pia grew stronger and stronger... She would never watch the same fate again.As the Ejinn tribe traveled by rivers as a way of escaping the upcoming Nadaam, Other tribes that were looking for worthy fighters seemed to have followed their movements. Pia knew not what was happening as a younger member of the tribe, only that there were nets in the waves and her people were afraid. Tribe membered scattered about and parents grabbed for their children, the feisty little girl was caught in a loose net to which her friend was quick to help her free, only for them to be caught in a second thrown net instead. When Pia made move to free her friend in turn- She was pulled away by her own parents and elder brother. Yet water does not carry screams well, screams of a young girl begging to aid her friend. Forced to leave behind someone she loved to the mercy of the waters and the warriors. As the Ejinn tribe finally escaped away to their new home, Pia was left scared and silent for what may be the first time in her life... Repeatedly trying to return to where her friend was left, yet never being allowed by her family who consoled her on what they believed was a loss- at least until her friend returned, now decorated in scales of swirling pink...For weeks after the accident, even as the Nadaam came and passed... Pia was all but silent- shaken from the ordeal. The feeling of the net on her skin, the view of her friend who was caught when it was almost her instead- Could she have survivors guilt even if neither of them had died?! The feeling of pain and fear sparked a new fire in her belly once she realized one thing... If a warrior is what the other tribes were after, a warrior is what they would get. A warrior of the Ejinn who could put them back in their place if they ever hurt her tribe again. She took first to a spear- the fishing tool that they used to provide for their people- Surely It would serve just as well for her to use as a weapon? Learning was difficult enough with no one who could train her, Pia often times found herself asking Outsiders carrying spears if they would be willing to teach her in return for helping them catch some fish. As time went by, each move learned became more and more of a dance to her, body moving as fluid as the waters she loved.Dance was soon another thing Pia learned from a traveler, who carried strange weapons from across the star. Curved blades one could fling to use at distance, and slice from close by- And with already fluid movements they told her perhaps she would find joy in such an art? While hesitant, she agreed to learn from the Raen woman. At first the steps confused her, the movements of a land far from her home... It felt strange. It was out of sheer curiosity she instead tried to follow the steps of her own people and found it was far easier this way. Step by step Pia began to learn the curved blades that had become just as trustworthy to her as her spear- even showing her friends her newfound skillset based off of an art from so far that she had now brought so close to them. But just learning the blade wasn't enough... She needed to be a warrior in the eyes of Azim and Nhaama, or no one would take her seriously! and so... After begging the Khatun and her family for permission, the young woman took to preparing for Bardam's Mettle, determined to prove to the entire Steppe her people were not weak.

Her absolute number one enemy, this Piranha has a seething hatres of the inky creatures and so she has sword to gobble up as many as possible (without making them extinct because that would harm the waters!)... and so more often than not you find her hands stained by ink.ଳ Environmentalist Keep the environment clean!

Bonds

Tokhta Ejinn: A very quiet and Solomn man who loves both of his kids so much. He was the one who bought Pia her first actual chakrams to prepare for Bardam's Mettle, Praying to the gods his daughter would return. She sure did!Yesugei Ejinn: Pia's Mother! a soft spoken woman with a talent for cooking, Pia loves her mother who is supportive of her- Though they don't always see eye to eye.Tseren Ejinn: Big Brother Tser! a strong swimmer and strong fisher all the same, Pia has wonderful memories of growing up learning to fish from him. He seems uninterested in using his fishing spear to fight beyond facing off against the fish though... It drives her crazy!Xyan Ejinn: Are they friends? Sisters? Who knows! Even some of their tribemates wonder exactly how seperated their blood may be- Even Pia wonders! She would give the world- or fight it -for Xyan, without question. Very happily she's teaching her Sister Chakrams! .. Xyan is also so far the only one able to ride on Pia's Yol, Shuurga.Khalja Gharl: Her friend eats dirt. Yes. And she think's he's a little weird for eating dirt. yes. BUT It means if the Steppe is all of one soil and he's EATING that soil, Then he carries the Steppe literally inside him!!! That's incredible!!!

Rin Minamoto: Pia considers Rin one of her best friends, often whispering gossip to the Raen when together along with Xyan. She's wondering if Rin will teach her things in Hingan...Isao Moriyama: The Ruby Warrior! While at times suspicious of him, Pia has at this point come to accept him as 'all but an Ejinn' and therefore, one of her charges. At least until he maybe does the Mettle himself.Surun Dazkar: Suru!!! He makes incredible food, she's always more than happy to sample it for him of course~ While its not going the fastest, Pia is trying to teach him chakrams as well. But that means teaching him dance too, which she finds a little funny. BUT!! She's got hopes for him!Yargui Qestir: One of her quiet friends, Pia is a little confused why she always has an umbrella when it's not raining... she's actually come to believe Yargui is scared of the rain and scared it WILL rain! But she's seen her in the rain- Now she's even more confused!Soyolmaa Dazkar: [Feeds you a squid] [Feeds you a squid] [Feeds you a-] In all honesty she likes Soyo! She likes her hawk too and keeps enabling it by also feeding it squid, much to her friends chagrin.Shunal of no tribe: He said he has no tribe, so... Pia wonders what happened there. BUT he seems really cool! At least they had fun yelling at matches of Bokh together. which is fun.
