Bio: Spotted tail. Bright green eyes. A gunblade on her back and a wink on her lips. Skadi Zephore is as unforgettable as the tavern she built from the ground up. Every story whispered over drinks, every enchanted cocktail slid across her rune-marked bar, carries a little bit of her legacy; equal parts blood, grit, and stardust.Born in the chaos of Ala Mhigo and orphaned young, Skadi clawed her way free of war and shadow, fleeing smoke and steel with nothing but her wits and a name barely her own. She found unlikely sanctuary in the far reaches of Brentbranch Meadows, where farmers and foragers taught her that strength wasn’t always found in the blade, but in roots, in resilience, and in quiet kindness. There, in fields kissed by dawnlight, magic met mischief, and her spirit began to heal.She didn’t stay still for long. The world beyond the trees called to her, and when she came of age, Skadi stepped into it not as a victim, but as a storm in motion. She chose the gunblade not just for its power, but for its symbolism...a weapon forged of contradictions, equal parts precision and brutality. It mirrored her well. Through dungeon halls, ruined strongholds, and the odd sky pirate skirmish, she carved a name for herself in coin and legend.But war was never her endgame.Somewhere along the way, she found a new kind of power behind the lens of a camera; framing moments others overlooked, capturing quiet magic in stillness. Photography taught her how to see the world again, not as something to survive, but something to treasure. She began saving, one job at a time, until she could finally buy the bones of a building on a stretch of sun-kissed sand.From those bones, The Ocelot Sigil was born.A haven. A sanctuary. A trap, some say for the unwary hearts who wander in and find more than they bargained for. It is Skadi incarnate: warm but wild, magical but grounded, a little dangerous and deeply, achingly real. She tends the bar like a bard weaves a tale, charming, cryptic, and always with a hidden meaning. Her drinks don’t just delight; they disarm. Some say she weaves spells into every pour. She never confirms. She never denies.Charismatic, confident, and cloaked in mystery, Skadi runs her tavern with razor wit and velvet gloves. Her rune tattoos etched down her arms and across her back glow when magic stirs. Her tail flicks when lies are told. She hears the truths no one speaks aloud and speaks in riddles that always seem to come true in time. She knows your favorite drink before you order it, and probably knows who broke your heart, too.But beneath the flirtation and fire lies something older and harder to name. Skadi is a woman of sharp edges and softer silences, of sleepless nights spent watching the stars through her camera lens, wondering if the life she built is enough to quiet the ghosts still whispering from Ala Mhigo.Beneath the playful charm lies a guardian’s soul...one forged in war, shaped by loss, and sharpened by choice. She laughs, dances, and dazzles because she knows the weight of silence. She loves fiercely because she once had nothing. And she protects The Sigil and those within it as if it were the only home she’s ever truly had.Because, in truth, it is.
