Aïsha
<<>>
Sobriquet: Palnee
Appearance: Aïsha is a beautiful woman, taking the prettiest traits of both her parents. Her body is delicately muscled, and she walks with the grace of a cat. Lately, she had her hair combed in dreadlocks
She usually wears few of no clothes, as she remains most of the time alone. When she comes to the court, through, she wears one of the dresses Arnaud made for her when her dance inspired his creativity, ignoring the smiles of the other Courtisanes seeing her wearing the same clothes on and on.
Behavior: Zen is a word that could well define Aïsha. She likes to remain alone, and rarely speaks when in company, even if other dancers can raise her interest.
Spirituality really interests her, through, and through this kind of interest, one can make her more friendly.
History: Aïsha's sire was believed to be Garcia, of Barcelona. The Toreador Elder was between two wars to take over Spain, and soon enough, he fell in love with a slave of mixed (Arabic and Ethiopian) origins who danced like no one else.
He Embraced her, but he fell soon after to the poison of vengeful Assamite working for the local Al-Mohad noble. Ibn El Bakar, a Lasombra, took the theft of his preferred slave quite personally, but when she was brought back, he couldn't destroy her. So he took her under his wing and taught her the ways of the night.
But eventually, Spanish victories drove the Lasombra into hiding, and, in the middle of the Anarch Wars, Assamite targeted him. Aïsha then became prisoner of the Assamite, whose leader found her pretty enough not to destroy her. When he came back to Bagdad, he kept her as his private dancer and Blood Bonded slave. Aïsha finally became free when he took her into his conquest of Transylvania, but failed due to the armies of Vlad Dracul.
She then fled to the west, and after an horrible stay in Berlin, joined the Parisian Toreador. She stayed there, licking her physical and psychological wound, and even became the lover of Elle.
In the Napoleonic Era, she Embraced a young musician called Valérie, whose talent was inhibited by the mysogynism of the mortals, who would rather laugh at than hear music written by a woman.
Tonight, Aïsha is a powerful Elder with no lost love for the Kindred who brought her to this horrible night. She misses the sun a lot, but discovered she could still find happiness in dance. She knows almost every dance created since her Embrace, and even know a lot more from before this date. She was awed by the Derviches, and spend whole nights turning round and round, thus finding a kind of transcendence.
Recent Events:
Notes: The Followers of Set are really interested by her since she once claimed to have danced with the Dark Serpent. They believe, rightly or wrongly, she could be an oracle of their Dark God. But Aïsha refused to have prolonged contact with a Bloodline so debased.
Actual Aim: Find greater and greater ecstasy in transcendence.
Rumors:
She had Assamite Contacts, and act as a spy. (False)
She knows a new Discipline enhancing her Dancing Abilities (False: This is pure, simple Talent!)
