Character name: Ankita RuskinNickname/Stage name: Ankita the Blind Seer, Ani, Kita, Nini (Mother given nick-name), Kiki (Father given nick-name)
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Hair color: Black
Eye Color: Powder Blue
Nationality: Pacissian
Heirtage: African American / Eastern Indian
Appearance: At first glance, creating a real interpretation of her is fairly hard to do. Standing at a short height of 5'2", her unruly dark chocolate hair seems fitting, yet unfitting for her somewhat childish and innocent looking face. Most would expect such an un-kept appearance from a child with no sight, but she’s aware of how she looks - and she likes it. Her most striking features would have to be her eyes. Not because they, in themselves, are striking, but the contrast between the crystalline powder blue and her chocolate mocha skin is breath taking to most. Though to others, the eerie and empty stare that lies within them causes chills to the bone.
Sexual Preferance: (Most likely) Straight, leaning towards Pansexual
Personality: Sheepish by nature, Ankita's not one to start conversations with others. Mostly because she's never really sure if there's ever anyone within speaking distance, other than Sarava, so she tends to leave conversation starting to others. This, however, is also connected to her dislike of small talk. She'll answer questions, but never expect her to ask them. She knows that small talk is just an attempt at covering any discomfort others might feel, and figures if people are really interested in some sort of relationship, they should be the ones who really do most of the work. She's heavily dependable, and tries her best to avoid appearing dependant, which time from time, can prevent her from seeking help when she needs it. Even if she lacks her vision, doesn't mean she needs to be everyone's charity case. Sweet and loyal by nature, she's by far someone worth trusting. However, her sincerity in kindness, for the most part, is misconstrude as being flirting, the actual reality of it is that when she does have feelings for someone, she's more likely to appear as quite the ditz and absent minded, than a flirtatious sweet-talker. Though the moment she feels fully comfortable, be weary, for her blunt side will appear.
Interest: Reading, Being Outside, Listening to things
Talent: Fortune telling (with the periodic preminition here and there)
Things she'll likely give into: Children, Animals (Sarava), Sweets (namely chocolate and cookies), singing (others, preferably)
Background:Born and raised in the small town of Fridot, she initially had sight. Her mother loved her dearly. And after giving birth to 3 other previous still births, she was undeniably happy to see the small preemie pull through. It wasn’t until she turned the age of lucky number 13 did her eyesight leave her. She had inherited a disease that killed her vision at an early age from her father side, but her bad luck didn’t end there. Her town was plagued by creatures, known as Aye-Aye, who were considered to be of great bad luck. It was accustomed that if you were caught interacting with one, you would no doubt be banished before letting out a begging plea. Ankita, being the nurturing girl she was, hearing the young yelps, had to follow the sound until she found the little creature hiding in a bush. Taking it in to nurture on a cool morning with expectations of finally getting a pet that she had been constantly asking from her mother, she was soon after ripped from her home by a neighbor and set out on her own…
She eventually found her way to the capital of the country, Essa, and having a knack for fortune telling, began her ‘seeing’ career on the corners of the streets in the market place. She gained the nick-name of “La Petite œil”, or “Small Eye” due to her eerily good accuracy. It wasn’t until a good 3 years later that she stumbled upon the Cirque, and began to add a new page to her life.
