▸ Basic Traists || Mellow, Distracted
▸ In depth || Ariya is a fairly mellow girl. She isn't prone to a hot temper nor over excitement. Instead she has a nice medium between the two. Activities she likes usually don't require much effort. She prefers to bask in the sun more than anything else. Since her activities require little to no physical movement she can be considered lazy.
As a pure Alkidike she loves being close to trees and especially close to Aisha. As such she hardly leaves the islands. To her there is no reason to travel across the water when everything she needs is on the small body of land she calls home.
Since she feels there is nothing for her on the main land she tends not to be fond of earthlings. She's not an extremist but she does hold certain views about them. Like that they should stay away from Aisha, and hybrids shouldn't be allowed to beget children. When she sees hybrid's born from the lotus of her mother tree she feels slightly disgusted. However she doesn't condone hurting children. Her way of dealing with them is to ship them away from the islands and make sure they never have the opportunity to seek out Aisha.
Due to her fascination with jewelry she is easily distracted with something shiny. It can be a good thing, keeping her busy for hours as she tinkers with gems and such, but it can also be a bad thing. Something that sparkles can take her attention or focus away from a conversation or even another task that she is supposed to be doing. Ariya is usually only distracted by something shiny, though a small animal scurrying near by could also do the trick.

❖ H i s t o r y ❖
▸ The Past || Ariya had the misfortune of losing both of her mothers before she even came out of her lotus pod. One mother was killed by an Oban in a particularly nasty fight. The other died shortly after of a broken heart. She was unable to continue without her mate. Because of this she was raised by a single woman. It was in fact her mother's best friend, Niesh. It had been discussed when Niesh and her mother were younger that if something happened to one, and their mate, that the other would take care of any children that were left behind. When Niesh learned of her best friends demise, and that of her partner, she mourned. Until she came to know that her best friend had been gifted a pod by Aisha. Once she knew of the lotus she approached Eshe for permission to raise the child within.
Growing up she knew that Niesh was not her mother, since the two had no secrets from each other, but she still adored her as if she were. Ariya was treated as a daughter in a loving home.
Niesh gives Ariya her space though she does like to be involved in the girl's life as well. They have developed a happy medium where the two of them spend a day together every week. It allows them to catch up, if they haven't already, and brings them closer. Ariya enjoys these days with her adoptive mother and even looks forward to them. The reason for the one day is so that they never lose touch with each other as family. Taking more than one day is, of course, allowed and encouraged by Niesh but since she doesn't want to seem over protective she doesn't force it.
When she hit her early teen yeas, Niesh asked Ariya what it was she wanted to do with her life. Though she wasn't able to answer, Ariya is happy to have lessons from her mother as it adds to the time they spend together. Most lessons are about her tribe and Aisha, though there have been some on fighting. Since she has yet to decide on what she wants to become and even a weapon her mother has reserved weapons training for later.

׺°” The moment a life changes ”°º×
1003 Words
Prentice Growth Req.
For the longest time she wasn't sure what she wanted to be. Even her adopted mother had tried to tempt her with the different Alkidike paths. Nothing had seriously stood out to her. That was until she had a single conversation with a hybrid who had come to the island. During that small time she had managed to utter that she had wanted to become a guardian. Ariya stared out at the rolling waters as the wind toyed with her dreads. “A guardian..” She uttered the words to herself trying to find what it was that had made her blurt them out to Rishima when she'd spoken to him. Ariya had been so indecisive up until that point. Almost as if she had no interest in anything. Now the thought of her path made her stomach twist with butterflies.
The more the idea settled into her mind the more she seemed to feel that it was the right choice. “I guess I should tell Niesh.” Turning her head to the right she looked over her shoulder toward her home. All she had to do was walk in and tell her adoptive mother that she had found her calling, that she had found what path called to her. Unfortunately the thought of telling her mother made her nervous. What if Niesh didn't approve of the path. What if she wanted Ariya to follow her and become an Amazon. Or to follow the path of her deceased mothers and become sacred hearts? So many things could go wrong with that conversation. That didn't change the fact that she needed to let Niesh know.
“Here goes nothing, I guess.” Ariya took a deep breath to steel her nerves and turned so that she could start walking home. Though her pace was unhurried, as though she was trying to prolong the inevitable. In her mind she went over ways to tell her mother what she'd chosen. Maybe even how she had come to that conclusion. Mentioning Rishima might not be for the best however since Niesh wasn't fond of hybrids. Perhaps she could skip over the bit that brought on the inspiration. It wasn't like her mother had to know why she'd made that choice, right? Just that she had.
She gave a nod as she affirmed the thought. Niesh would just be happy to know that she had finally developed an interest in something. Something beyond her shiny objects. Now that she had a plan in place she moved a bit faster. Ariya slowly started to smile as excitement flooded through her about the idea of following the path of a guardian.
Finally she reached her home and she entered without precedent. “Mother, I'm home.” The young Alkidike called out. When she heard a greeting said in return her smile turned into a broad grin. “I have some news to share with you Mama.” A small laugh escaped her and she made her way over to Niesh's bedroom. Ariya found her mother sitting on the bed and sewing something. What it was she couldn't yet tell.
The older Alkidike looked up at Ariya and gave a smile of her own, though one brow did quirk upwards when she noticed the grin on her daughters face. “Oh? What news do you bring to me, little Sapling?” Niesh paused her sewing and lowered it down into her lap so that she could better focus on her child and not risk pricking her finger.
The prentice level Alkidike waited until she had her adoptive mother's full attention before she spoke again. Let the suspense build, she thought to herself. Then finally she opened her mouth. “I have decided that I would like to follow the path of a Guardian.” It was a declaration for her to say such a thing but to Niesh it was the best news ever heard.
The mother's face lit up with joy as she looked over Ariya. “I am so happy that you have finally found something you are interested in!” And truly she was. Niesh had thought that she had failed her best friend when Ariya had been uninterested in anything. It had always weighed heavily on her that she might be a terrible mother. “What brought this on?” The woman had to admit that she was curious as to the reason that made her finally pick something.
“I'm not sure. I was talking to... a sister.. and it just came out.” She referred to Rishima as a sister, since she recalled him having mentioned that others sometimes called him that. It also gave her the chance to tell her mother of her moment of awe without revealing that she had spoken to a hybrid. “The more I thought on it the more I was sure that was what I wanted to be.” Ariya nodded her head then started to toy with the lip piercing she had. It was only a stud in the center of her bottom lip but she often played with it when she was waiting.
“Well I am thankful to that sister for helping you find your path.” Niesh laughed with mirth as she reached out to pat her daughter on the arm lovingly. “Do you know what weapon you will use? Perhaps we can get you a teacher soon.”
With that Ariya blinked. Weapon. She hadn't thought about which weapon she would wield. “Oh, uhm...” She did her best to think about what it was she wanted to use. A bow and arrow didn't seem like her type of weapon. Mostly because she was sure it would require too much focus and she had little of that to give as it was. Niesh chuckled at her silence and it made Ariya blush before she said something. “Sorry, I hadn't thought about it, but what about a spear?” It seemed like something she might like. Plus her focus could easily be pinned to the spearhead since it was shiny. “That sounds good, Ariya.” Her mother commented.

׺°” A gift for a brother ”°º×
1002 Words
Prentice Growth Req.
Water splashed over her head as she broke the surface. Ariya let out her breath that she'd been holding while under water and opened her eyes to the brightness of the sun. The cooling effect of the ocean made her feel relaxed. The young Alkidike had gone diving for pearls. She'd wanted to find more so that she could make some jewelry. Plus she'd given her last small string of the precious stone to Anya, a youngling she'd met in front of a local shop. But that wasn't the only one she thought of when she saw the shining sphere. Rishima was the one that came to mind first.
Not only had she given him a decent sized pearl, but she'd also come to call him brother. Despite the fact that he was a hybrid Ariya had accepted him. It had everything to do with the fact that the mystics respected him, she told herself. But deep down she could feel a growing respect for the man. Not only because he still held the beliefs in Aisha, but because he seemed to revere the sisters as just that, sisters. He didn't call them pure bloods or anything like that. To him they were all the same.
It was a shame that she couldn't introduce him to her mother. Niesh could learn a lot from him, though she didn't blame her adoptive mother for her prejudice. After all, an earthling had killed her real mother who was also Niesh's best friend. As Ariya tread water to stay afloat she looked toward the shore. There was no one there but she could only imagine that her brother would be laughing at her. Deciding it was time to come in, before her skin became water logged and wrinkly, she started to swim to land. Her arms pushed the water back as her legs moved to propel her forward. In no time at all she was able to stand and walk the rest of the way out of the water.
At her side was a nice pouch full of pearls that she'd found. It was her prize. Of course when she turned them into jewelry they would become someone else's treasures. The thought brought a smile to her lips. It always made her feel good to see someone wearing something she made. However, this time around she wanted to make something for Rishima and this.. Gerraden he'd spoken of. While she couldn't meet the man she could still give him gifts. Patting the pouch at her side the young Alkidike moved farther inland.
She wanted to get started right away on making the treasures. If she timed it right she could have both of them done by the time Rishima returned to the island. Not that he'd given her a specific time that he would be back, but she hoped it was soon. He'd promised he'd tell her all about Gerraden and even the world across the waters. She wouldn't leave the islands. Not yet. Ariya wanted to be stronger before she did anything like that.
When it occurred to her that she would be able to get other precious stones in the market she adjusted her course and started toward the large gathering of her people. Vendors would have all sorts of things and she was hopeful that she'd find a feather or a fang that she would be able to implement into the design of the necklace she wanted to make for Rishima. Gerraden was harder to think up an idea for.
For a moment she paused and did her best to think up what this Gerraden would want. Something.. Well, not delicate. She toyed with her lip stud then continued on her way to the market. If she found something masculine then that would work. Or maybe she should look for something that would symbolize Aisha. After all Rishi had told her that the other hybrid was curious about the Alkidike heritage he had.
Yes! That settled it! She would look for something that would represent Aisha. It would be a perfect gift. It would also make her brother happy to know she put in a lot of thought to the gift for his friend. While she might not be close to the male just yet, she didn't want to offend him. The respect she had for him was enough to override any distaste she had for hybrids.
And that was saying quite a bit since her mother was against earthlings and anything to do with them. Wouldn't Niesh have a fit if she knew that Ariya's path choice was all because of Rishima. She giggled to herself as she entered the market but kept it quiet. Now she needed to focus and look for the perfect centerpiece to the necklaces she had in mind.
Something bright caught her eye as it glinted and she moved through the crowd toward what it was. At the stall she saw the seller and smiled but her gaze went right for a metal plate. It had been that that had caught her eye, since it bounced the sunlight off toward her. However, right next to it was the perfect thing for Gerraden! It was a small wood carving of a tree in a dark tint. Not just any tree but THE tree. It was the perfect thing to represent Aisha. Digging into her pouch she pulled out a pearl and traded it for the carving.
With it in hand she moved on to find something that would fit Rishima's necklace. In her mind she saw something two toned so as to show the unity of two things. She wanted something like that for the piece she would give to her brother. What she got was a perfect stone. It started out as a dull grey but faded into a stunning green. She made the trade for it as well then happily headed home so that she could start on the creations. A grin on her face.
