Name: Kit Varjo Schaduw
Age: 25
Gender: female

Sexuality: lesbian, but open to what she has to
Race: Shadow-bender
Slave or Temp Slave: temp slave

Bio: Kit was born in the Louisiana bayou near New Orleans. Her mother was Cajun from the area, and her father transplanted fisherman. She was the fourth child of what would be seven children by the time she was seven herself, three girls and four boys. Shortly after the birth of the last child her mother mysteriously disappeared. If Kit were to listen and believe the rumors and stories told by the locals she would be brought to believe that her father got tired of the bull her mother put him through and finally snapped. She has always refused to belive that. As the stories went it was funny how most of the kids looked nothing like each other and almost none of them looked like Daddy. This she did believe. Kit’s oldest sister had a full head of bright red hair that flowed over her shoulders and down her back, her oldest brother was tall and blond though both parents were shorter with dark hair, the youngest of the seven had darker skin – it wasn’t black but he had a tan even in the winter.

One night after a few drinks Mr. Schaduw told a story to the middle child about how her mother went around to all the men. He knew about it. She told him he didn’t make enough money so she had to do something on the side to feed all the children. He was certain that the only two children that had the same father were Kit and her brother, Chip, born nine months to the day before her.

It wasn’t a happy childhood, but there wasn’t abuse of the physical or sexual kind, so it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. Being the middle child Kit felt left in the shadows. She and Chip both felt the same and played a lot together away from the others. The oldest was five years older than Kit so they did not really have anything in common or hang out in the same circles. It was early on in Kit and Chip’s play in the Louisiana bayous that they learned they each had a natural talent, something none of the others had. Chip had sort of a natural camouflage. In the swamp he would concentrate and just blend into his surroundings as if he were part of it or some type of human chameleon. It was there also that Kit learned how to blend into the shadows, that she had felt part of her whole life, and pull them around her so that she was hard to see almost as if she vanished into thin air. Years before in school and at home people seemed to not notice her as if she were part of the furniture or in the shadows. She felt useless, forgotten, and unimportant. She didn’t know it was her birthright.

At the age of eighteen Chip decided to leave the bayou and head to the city to find his fortune. He was tired of being anonymous and wanted to make a name for himself. The last Kit heard from him was a letter three months after he left.

Kit-Kat,
This are great here. I showed a man how I can blend in and he thinks he can find work for me. I’ll write more when I know more.
Chip-Dip.

A year past without any word from her brother and Kit could not wait any longer. To her it was like half of her was gone. She took what she could carry and left her home to the big city and to find her brother. At first she felt bad leaving her father with the last three children, but then she thought he did not have to pay for her food anymore and her older brother lived nearby. She was only in the city a little while, a couple of weeks really, before a hunter found her and sold her to the slave market. A month later a worker from the Temp Agency saw her, found out about her talent, and thought she could become a great asset to the Agency.

She didn’t like being a slave and often felt like fighting back or fleeing back to the swamps, but not knowing where her brother was kept her going. The Agency saw her blending into the shadows as a talent which could be harnessed and sold to the right buyer. She was trained to memorize things she saw and heard and how to fight with her bare hands. Along with that she was trained in basic things like computers and cleaning and such. She went to each Master and did what was asked of her. Every new Master/Mistress she hoped to find word of her brother. Someday she would find him or find someone who could.

Abilities, Special Skills, Weaknesses: She can bend shadows and slip into them as if she disappeared. Someone taking a glancing look would not notice her there. Her weakness with that is that if anyone stares hard enough at the shadows they can see her. Plays the guitar quite well.


Collars: Green, Orange, Pink
Charms: Paw, Broom, Computer Mouse, Pacifier, Harp, Balled Fist

Crush/Lover: none
Owned By: temp agency

Height: 5’6”
Hair Color: dark brown – almost black, a little more than shoulder length that she usually keeps held back
Eye Color: dark green
Markings or Birthmarks: Has her brother Chip's name tattooed on the inside of her left ankle

Okay, we discussed briefly that you should flesh her out a bit more in cbox and I'm glad that you did, I like seeing how a character grew up. It really shapes them for the future.

A few comments/questions:

Was the family poor? I would believe they would be, as seven children do not come cheap. How did the mother's disappearance affect the children? Does Kit know what happened to her, and how does she react to the rumours that her father murdered her mother?

I like her ability, I do, and how her brother's differs from hers. Do the other members of her family have powers?

A comment on her name: Being from Louisiana an New Orleans, I would suspect the woman is Cajun. Her name.... does not seem Cajun. It's totally cool what you named her! But I'm just making comments.

How does she feel about being a slave-assassin, and how concerned is she about her brother?

A bit more and you can have a pretty kick ass character.

As an aside: I know I mentioned it to you via text, but so Dinah and others know I've said it, too, please know that if your character is not approved (that is, if Dinah or I do not specifically say "she's approved," or something along those lines) it is recommended that you not post on your own, as we may require necessary edits to your profile that could change the layout of the post you've written. The approval process is important as it fleshes out your character for others to see, like a cheat sheet on your girl. It also helps us set up reasonable barriers (so no one is able to destroy the world in a single thought, etc.)
As a helpful hint, to remind yourself, if your character name is BLACK, you should not post outside of your profile.

I edited a little about her mother and her name. What I didn't say is that both her middle name Varjo and her last name Schaduw mean shadow in different languages.

for the feelings of being a slave-assassin..I never said she was one. She blended into the shadows to get info. The fight training was more of a procotionary thing.

The writing without permission thing was just me wanting to write.

Okay. I'd still like to see how the disappearance of their mother affected Kit, and I still have questions left unanswered.

Was Kit close to her mother? When did she leave? Is she concerned about having to find her as well as Chip? Could these two disappearances have left trust issues with Kit, etc. etc.

Do only Kit and Chip have powers?

I understand that the family was poor and so the mother whored herself out for money to feed the children, but if you look at the time line of the children, you mention that Kit and Chip are the fourth and fifth (or third and fourth) children of the family and the biological children of both the mother and the father equally, which would mean that the mother was cheating before hand, as the oldest is considerably taller and blonde, and the eldest sister has a head full of red hair.

Also, if the family is so poor -- where did she learn the guitar?

I'll do the easiest answers first. It already states that Kit and Chip were the only ones with powers. And Mr. Schaduw was not their father, but they did have the same father. She is not sure if any of them were really the offspring of Mr. Schaduw.

Timeline of her siblings is as follows
Oldest sister - 5 years older than Kit
brother - 3 years older than Kit
Chip - 9 months older
Kit
brother - 2 years younger than Kit
sister - 4.5 years younger than Kit
brother - 7 years younger than Kit

Kit learned guitar along the way basically. Her brother Chip bought her an old one from a second hand store. And the old people around taught her how to play. She was then taught more when she became a slave. Chip always told her, "Elvis was poor as dirt but his mom still managed to get him a guitar so why shouldn't she have one? That guitar took him places and it would her to."

As for her mother's disappearance she was 7 and had Chip by her side. They leaned on each other during that time. She locked her feelings away. All of the children accepted that she either ran away and did not want to be found or she was dead somewhere and never coming back. Chip is the only one she is looking for.

I think what Modrid is trying to say here about the mother and the children is that if the oldest children don't look like Mr. Shaduw's offspring, the mother had to be cheating even before the first child was born. So her explanation that she whored herself around to earn money to bring up the children makes only limited sense. Without children around in the first place, that explanation doesn't hold water.

On the other hand it's something the father claims the mother said, which doesn't have to mean she ever actually said it, so perhaps it is of only limited importance for the character's background.

Just one more question: No charm on her pink collar? So she has never been formally trained for sex work? Or is that just something you overlooked?

Pink collar with no charm = toy/pet according to what I have read so far.
Has she been formally trained? No. Not for anything specific
