Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Irina Lizaveta Bagirli

Age: 26

Hair: Dark brown with a white skunk streak toward the front. Worn long and in loose, natural ringlets

Eye color: Emerald green. They turn icy blue when reading auras.

Height: 5'10"

Weight: 160

Build: Hearty and curvy, built for withstanding cold Russian winters

Distinguishing features: Color-changing eyes that can read a subject's aura. She also wears a silver star pendant on a silver chain always--to remind her of her parents.

Personality: Truly a child raised by a village, Irina feels comfortable with large groups of people. She's quite personable, and enjoys both chatting and trading with adults, as well as telling stories to children she comes across. Though she's generally cheerful and optimistic about life, inside, she's really a lonely soul. She dreams of having her own family and she thinks joining a caravan may be the beginning of a new life. Irina is shrewd and independent, used to being alone. She can survive in the wild entirely on her wits and abilities taken from years of travel and difficult life. Through the years she's improved her trading skills, and likes to believe that she always makes a good deal. She's fairly savvy in her dealings, and she's charming enough to trip up a man or two here and there with her striking looks.

Background: A Russian villager turned wanderer, Irina's parents died from cholera when she was only five years old. She was raised by the villagers in the small town where she lived, leading a fairly happy life until the night of the fire. Just weeks before the village burned, Irina had discovered her power, and though she had not yet been able to hone it, it seems that getting away from the village has enabled her to make use of her power more effectively. Now a bit lonely from travelling all by herself for so long, Irina is looking to join a caravan, hoping to start her own family on the road.

Name: Eerie Bagirli

Age: toddler

Hair: Fur that covers all of his body. It's a light brown color.

Eye color: Purple

Height: 2'6" tall

Weight: 40 lbs.

Build: Rough n' tumble.

Distinguishing features: He has a bright green nose, hooves and horns. He also has long, floppy ears.

Personality: Eerie is stubborn and determined, and is a bit set in his ways so far. He can be a challenge at times, not budging when you want him to. He puts up with a lot from his older sister Kalpana, but can lash out when he feels it necessary, getting her back for her wrongdoings.

Background: Eerie began life as a pitchfork, and his guardian at the time, Tierra, saw him into his animal stage as a mountain goat. Tierra soon disappeared, leaving Eerie without a guardian or anyone to care for him. In his animal stage, Eerie was actually a female, but one random day, he was transformed into a toddler by the meij, and had become a male.

At this juncture, he needed a home -- somewhere he could be safe from the meij until his issues could be figured out amongst the gypsies in the caravan. Since Irina's pregnancy with the Savior nullified all magic, Ravenwood seemed to be the safest place for him to go. Irina readily accepted the adorable goat-child into her wagon, and he has lived with them as part of the family.

Whistlestick: (Valelldia)
•Val is the leader of the caravan, a strong and positive force upon us all. She's looking out for everyone in the caravan, I know, and she's the one who's brought us all together.


Blessed Change: (Oqaia/Varlan)
•Oq has been wonderful to me and Kal. Though we may have had some interesting fortunes from her, she is a good person. I wonder though, will Varlan ever become a Darkling infant?


A Light in the Dark: (Heather/Amika/Kala)


Mountain Air: (Caroline/Rojiza/Solas)
•I met Caroline and her daughter before I entered the caravan. They suggested I come along with them, and I was glad to do it. They are a sweet family, and very welcoming.

Rusting Canvas: (Keppit/Van D`ien)


Mossy Charm: (Baptiste/??)


The Singing Bird: (Gwynna/Nusa)


Weathered Melody: (Silver/Aisrhan/Khevashi)


Forest Spirit: (DeArca/Ash)
• I met DeArca at about the same time as Caroline. He also joined the caravan when I did, and he has a Fortunette named Ash. He seems like a nice man, but is preoccupied by something...


Varekai: (Anezka/Leshya'e)


Phoenix Song: (Missa/Kale/Dahlia)


Narki Chooma: (Mirela/Tafari)
•Mirela was in the inner circle with me as the Savior chose its mother. She is a sweet young woman, and I was amazed when the Savior didn't choose her. It seemed torn between us somehow. But I feel she has a bright future in front of her. Tafari is an adorable child, and I'll have to have Kal meet him soon.

The Mushroom charm, as I found it. Click for a large image.

































With a little bit of violence, Kalpana came to be!
































Again, a strange transformation. White Fire, a spicy narcotic, allowed Kal to become a rather odd child...

Fortunes:









Banya Fortunes:

1, from Rydell)
If you have nothing to tempt a fae
You will have a greater price to pay
If nothing in your wagon stores is bright
Or shiny or magical or has an inner light...
Beseech your gypsy friends.
Or steal. ...And later make amends.

2, from Rydell)
A Price will be paid for
Your necessary Thievery
However the Girl will not pay
This price.
Find her white fire,
And Babe Shall Be.
...Peculiar
