Xev Balviria

General Features: Xev is a young demon girl that stands at 4’5” with a slight hunch. She’s very skinny from her life style and generally looks very emaciated. She severely lacks any good muscle mass and can seem quite “ratty”. Her skin tends to be always covered with grime and dirt and scrapes and bruises. She has a light/pale olive skin tone with light freckles under her eyes and the backsides of her forearms. From the lack of muscle and fat she has in her body, her face is sunken in, giving her much more of a mature appearance. It is very easy for her to look like a little boy, and she prefers to dress/appear as one to begin with.
Daemon Specific: Some unique features she has pertaining to her animal affinity are the very large and pointed brown bat ears she has. She also has extensions from her arms that help support wing webs. Her arms/bones are also positioned identical to those of a normal bat. Thus her arms and the web together can act as wings, but she is too heavy to do more than use them to glide. Xev does have bat-like fingers at the carpal aspect of her wings that are fully capable of acting like normal fingers. Her legs are digitigrade and are designed to help her crawl on the grown in a bat-like manner. Instead of normal humanoid-like legs, they are covered with fur. Her feet are similar to a bat’s as well. Finally, she has a short, brown, fluffy tail with a white underside.
Hair: Xev cuts her hair very short if she can find a knife to help her achieve the appearance of a boy. When it grows out, it’s very wavy, almost to the point of curly. The roots are brown, but as the hair grows longer it turns into a beautiful sandy-blonde. Generally it’s very dirty and dusty, as she does not care for it.
Eyes: Her eyes are a deep, forest green. They’re bright and are set with the determination to survive and one day thrive. Shape wise, they’re a mix between almond and round with more influence on the almond side.
Clothes: Wheres whatever she can get her hands on. Dresses like a boy.
Weapons: Only uses claws and fangs to defend herself. Carries a knife when she can get her hands on one.

” Well, I walked in the light and I lived in the sun
Now I die for the night 'cause the days are done “

Personality:

Cautious; Xev trusts no one and fends for herself. She has learned to grow aware of dangers from animals or other people. Rarely does she ever associate with the other street rats. She only does anything with them if she’s very desperate.
Disobedient; She listens to no one but herself. Her personality can be summed up as caring for her and her alone. There have been many times where she has nearly lost her wings from stealing, but laws and adults have yet to stop her from doing what she wants.
Survival of the Fittest; Xev has been through many of life’s harsh trials in the streets. From those experiences, even at her young age, she has learned to barely make by with her survival. From escaping prisons, to crawling through windows to steal a meal, she does what it takes to get by and will fight and struggle.
Foul Mouthed; Growing up on the streets has given Xev a harsh and dirty vocabulary. She is very vulgar when she speaks and, from illiteracy, is not entirely aware of how else to speak. Regardless of people looking down on the vulgarity, she continues to use it.
Stealthy; Due to her body make up, Xev is able to crawl very similarly to a feral pat, using the carpus of her wing/fingers and her digitigrade legs to crawl quickly and quietly. This is the only form of skill that she has beyond being able to barely survive.

” I do what the good girls don't
I do what the good girls don't
I do what the good girls should never ever, never ever do “

History:

Xev was born in Spirit. Her family was extremely poor and had no desire for a child. They could not get themselves to abort her however, and decided they would sell her as a slave to first person they could find. Once she was past the age of a toddler and had the mental capacity to do some work, she was sold to a human man and his moderately rich family. The man and his family took the girl home and took care of her for a while.
At first, she had not been born with her arm bones positioned like a wing, nor did she have any wing web. A year went by and her body began to shift and change in these ways. Once the man saw that his to-be slave had seemingly useless wings, he decided to drown her. He took her out to a nearby stream and hesitated in his decision. Feeling guilty for killing a slave, he backed out and just left her by the stream.
A poor old, shifter woman named Selea found the very young child and also felt guilty. She took the young bat girl in and cared for her until the girl was 14. The old shifter women died when Xev was 15, and that was when her life out on the streets began.
She began with stealing from local vendors for food. She was not good at it, and was constantly beaten and threaten to be killed or have her wings torn. A few took some pity on her and just scolded her, while others beat her. It took a lot of time for her to learn how to live on her own. It took constant betrayals by other street rats for her to learn. There were even a few close calls where she was chased by slavers, some of which worked for the renown slaver Ahman Rownin. That was a name she learned to fear, and she was eager to get away from Spirit. In order to avoid him and his slavers, she followed some of them and listened to their conversations regarding the man. She learned where his slave trades were located, which was the information she was most concerned about.
There as a day where she heard a man talking about a going to a desolate desert called the Boil. Xev knew that the renown slaver had little to no influence there, and so she decided she would hitch a ride on the man’s caravan by sneaking onto it to get away. Though she knew that slavery was everywhere, the one that she feared most was not there. She snuck onto the underside of the caravan and traveled with the man all the way to the boil.
Little did she know what she was getting herself into. She had no idea that it was much harder to evade the sun, nor that the desert was a harsh, desolate place. To the current day, she had only been in the boil for about a month and was severely struggling to continue to live.
