Shaori Warden

= Physical Description = (( Coming soon ))

= Personality = Shaori is calm, reserved, and calculating. She goes to great lengths to ensure that any actions are not solely on impulse, but it is a mistake to consider her indecisive. When need arises, she is capable of making quick decisions, but hesitates if she feels key information is missing. Friendly and compassionate towards all, she has a strong affinity to those outside her immediate culture, spending more time associating with Aurin, Granok, and Mordesh than her fellow humans. It's not a disliking of her own kind, simply a need to understand the others that draws her to them. While she's willing to hear out other ideas, she will refuse to budge from any stance she is firmly dedicated to. Sometimes that stance puts her on the front lines of Nexus. Other times, it gets her thrown out of XAS discussions on the Eldan. You don't want to get her started on the Eldan. You really, really don't.

Quirks

 * Studies Cultural Anthropology
 * Can get a little too absorbed into a culture she is studying at the time
 * Wants to open an orphanage
 * Seriously, don't get her started on the Eldan.

Exiles

 * Aurin - She has a particular fondness for the Aurin, partly because they've proven an interesting anthropological topic going from primitive to modern in a span of years, and because of her time spent on Arboria.
 * Granok - They're certainly very...colorful. While certainly interesting, their vocabulary could use work.  Staring with the word "No".
 * Mordesh- Another fascinating species to study, having to cope with immortality and the unexpected consequences of their attempts at it.

Dominion
(( Coming eventually))

Others

 * Torine - A source of great wonder and intrigue. They've had immortality granted to them through the wonders of Nexus, providing an interesting contrast to the Mordesh.  And they've thrived for centuries with incredibly basic tools...relatively speaking.  She'd gladly go back to spend more time with them when she could.
 * Eldan - Her feelings towards the Eldan are often described by others as irrational. They're probably right.

= Background =

History
Descended from one of Admiral Brightland's original soldiers, Shaori is a true Exile, born on the Gambler's Ruin itself. True to the spirit of the distant ancestor whose name she carries, Shaori was eager to aid in the Exile efforts against the Dominion in any way she could. Her desire to help was further fueled by legends of this ancestor and how she bravely fought against the insurmountable odds, personally ensuring the survival of hundreds of early Exiles. Inspired by heroic deeds, Shaori swore to live up to her name in service of the Exiles.

As a child, she joined in the efforts to smuggle Mordesh off of Grismara and to freedom from the Dominion's blockade. Mostly her efforts were just to provide assistance to the refugees that made it onto the ship, be it bringing food and supplies or simply escorting them around the ship. The menial tasks didn't bother her; she rather cherished them. Meeting another species for the first time, noticing their vast differences in appearance, culture, and dress was a great fascination to her.

Complications
Shaori's namesake was with the Dominion forces when Admiral Brightland defected and turned the Star of Dominus against his own kind. While Shaori can trace her bloodline directly back to the woman whose name she carries, what she does not know is her bloodline that remained in the Dominion. Reports have been trickling through from people who have encountered a brash Dominion soldier who bears an oddly similar name.
