Lianora Natios
Lianora Natios (li:ə.noʊrə nɑ:θi:oʊs) is a priestess of Erada from Agenom who was born to the mistress of a visiting Chawoven lord.
Appearance
A sultry woman, Lianora inherited the dark hair and olive-toned skin of her mother, and the unique sea-green eye color from her Chawoven father. A little taller than average, she has a trim hourglass figure, but most of her height is in her legs. Her youth is apparent in her muscle tone, the perk of her breasts (which are on the larger side of average), and the tone of her skin; traits which she readily flaunts.
Lianora’s black hair is wavy, but she doesn’t adhere to the fashions of Agenom. She grows it long, hanging to about mid-back, with grown-out bangs framing her face, and parted to the left of her head to give more volume on the other side. She ties it back when practical, but she prefers to wear it loose and arranges it carefully to give her the most seductive look she can.
Fond of make-up, Lianora often lines her eyes in black, despite her already thick and dark lashes. She also paints her lips with a dark berry shade that compliments her skin tone better than the iconic red that fairer skinned women like to use. Lianora also keeps her brows carefully maintained, giving them an arch that is not too thin as to be overpowered by her thick mane or lip color.
Lianora wears the creamy white robes of her order, tailored to her preferences. Rather than the more modest style that the temples prefer, Lianora had her hemline raised to mid-thigh and the neckline brought down into a low V cut that shows ample cleavage. The sleeves are still long and billowy, and it has a cowl neck as well. Around her waist, she has placed a thick brown leather belt with brass medallions to emphasize the narrowness of her waist. The holy icon of Erada hangs from a gold chain around her neck, resting just above her breasts. For footwear, Lianora wears a pair of stout knee-high leather boots that match her belt. Well-made, the boots have a thick, two inch heel that give her the aesthetic benefit of high heels, without many of the detriments. The boots lace up the front and buckle around the top with brass fixtures that match her belt, including a medallion on the outside of each, near the top of the boot on the calf. In inclement weather, she has an olive-green hooded wool cloak, lined with satin on the inside. When Lianora visits temples, she will don a more traditional priestesses’ gown.
Lianora’s main weapon is a thoroughly carved wooden quarterstaff. The ends of the staff are rounded, which then tapers down into a narrower haft before bulging out into a rounded center piece that is decoratively carved. The wood is polished, stained, and quite smooth. The narrower parts of the haft which she holds in combat are wrapped in soft leather. Lianora typically carries the staff with a leather strap that crosses her chest and holds it behind her back. Lianora also carries a small, curved Agenomian dagger that she keeps sheathed on her belt on the small of her back. The sheath and hilt match her belt with the same leather, and brass fixtures.
Lianora carries a leather pack that matches the rest of her leather gear. Inside, she carries various personal items; both necessities and luxuries. Extra clothing items, a comb and brush, odds and ends, contraceptives, journal, and supplies, etc. Lianora does not carry anything large for camping, as she prefers staying in inns. Internally, she is fitted with a copper IUD to prevent pregnancy. She also carries a few Holy Erada items, including a book of prayers and rituals, and religious icons.
