Description
[John and A'idah Sketchpage] by LilyScribbles

As a merchant, A’idah was used to bartering goods and services- it was how she made a living- but the old alchemist's demand for a guardian for his granddaughter was certainly… unusual.  The dark-haired woman drummed her fingers against her upper arm as she quietly contemplated. She turned, bending as though to study an iridescent glass vial on a nearby shelf. As she plucked the small container from its nest among the clutter, she turned it in her hand, silently studying the reflection of the girl across the room. 

 The dull clicks of an ancient clock echoed throughout the shop.

 "You are aware," the cloaked woman began, "that I cannot guarantee safety in my line of work." She rotated the vial between her fingers, but her gaze was now fixed on the deep, crimson elixir in the possession of the old man. "I do not usually entertain such requests, but of course, 'anything for the right price'." She narrowed her eyes in thought. "I suppose I can offer an apprenticeship of sorts, but I do not spare the rod, so to speak. 

 "If you can assure me your charge is of the right mettle," she flashed a smile and outspread her hands in a friendly gesture, "I am sure we can reach a mutually beneficial agreement."

 A'idah had already come to the decision to take the girl- in exchange for that damned elixir, of course- and now it was a mere matter of haggling her price. 

 "My profession, as I'm sure you understand, requires a great deal of digression. Idleness will not be tolerated. Nor will disloyalty. All of my men face the same penalties, regardless of their… stature." For the first time, her eyes passed over the girl directly. "If, after a period of a few weeks, your ward proves unfit for duty, I am afraid I will have to absolve my responsibility and she will be returned to you." As she spoke, she carefully placed the vial back on the shelf. 

 "This being said, I would be glad to fulfill your request," she said with a smile. "I realize this is a very important decision for you, and I would not want to encroach upon your privacy. I will be at the inn down the street- The Glass Raven, I believe it is called- until the morning, at which time I, regretfully, must continue my travels. "

The dark fabric of her cloak swished as she paused on the doorstep. "You can send the payment with the girl." 

The wooden door of the crowded shop closed behind the mysterious woman with a dull thud.

Past Occupations: She was a Warrant Officer for the Navy during her younger years. Her father had introduced her into the smuggling business as a adolescent. She used the skills acquired from her father and the contacts she made through the Navy to become a successful merchant.

 

Personality snapshot: A'idah adapts easily to any situation. Combined with her cunning and  a certain charisma, she is a very effective merchant. She maintains a dispassionate exterior to curtain her inner thoughts. Although she's not a mean-spirited person, she doesn't let a moral code get in the way of obtaining what she wants. She has no problem with acting deceptively or manipulative, but usually stops short of outright lying and stealing. She could be considered judgmental. She maintains strict discipline, both of herself and her subordinates, but this is contrasted by her occasional overindulgent behavior. Her biggest vice is a desire for power and need to feel in control. (This extends to a lust for rare and powerful artifacts.)

 

Good qualities: Very sharp appearance, big on orderliness and hygiene

Bad qualities: She can be a bit sharp of the tongue, overindulgent in drinking, mildly superstitious

 

Abilities(As in powers): A'idah is able to sense the intentions of another person, good or bad. It seems to happen only when she makes physical contact... But maybe it's just intuition?

She can shapeshift into a black cat with golden eyes. It is impossible to tell her from her pet cat, Pacchi. 


Special skills(Not meaning powers): She is a keen observer and planner


Languages: Ottoman Turkish, Arabic, French, (English?)

♔Jung personality test result: ESTJ (Overseer)

♔Enneagram: Type 8 (Challenger)

"Eights enjoy taking on challenges themselves as well as giving others opportunities that challenge them to exceed themselves in some way. Eights are charismatic and have the physical and psychological capacities to persuade others to follow them into all kinds of endeavors. Eights have enormous willpower and vitality, and they feel most alive when they are exercising these capacities in the world. They use their abundant energy to effect changes in their environment—to “leave their mark" on it—but also to keep the environment, and especially other people, from hurting them and those they care about.

Eights do not want to be controlled or to allow others to have power over them (their Basic Fear), whether the power is psychological, sexual, social, or financial. Much of their behavior is involved with making sure that they retain and increase whatever power they have for as long as possible.

Although they are usually aware of what people think of them, they do not let the opinions of others sway them. They go about their business with a steely determination that can be awe inspiring, even intimidating to others.

Although, to some extent, Eights fear physical harm, far more important is their fear of being disempowered or controlled in some way. Eights are extraordinarily tough and can absorb a great deal of physical punishment without complaint—a double-edged blessing since they often take their health and stamina for granted and overlook the health and well-being of others as well. Yet they are desperately afraid of being hurt emotionally and will use their physical strength to protect their feelings and keep others at a safe emotional distance. Beneath the tough façade is vulnerability, although it has been covered over by layer of emotional armor.

Thus, Eights are often extremely industrious, but at the price of losing emotional contact with many of the people in their lives. Those close to them may become increasingly dissatisfied with this state of affairs, which confounds Eights. (“I don't understand what my family is complaining about. I bust my hump to provide for them. Why are they disappointed with me?”)
