Karashi

Stats
NAME: Karashi
GENDER: Female
AGE: 28
SPECIES: Harpy
SANITY: 70

LOOKS: Karashi is a slender, smaller harpy with thick, long brown hair, a large nose and red lips. Her eyes are dark red pupils on black sclera. She has two horns that are sometimes hidden in her fringe. Though Karashi is smaller and not as strong as the other harpies, she males up for that in other areas.
PERSONALITY: Karashi is lazy and uses her intellect to get herself by on the least amount of effort. She likes to rest and sleep and languish in a sunny spot. Other harpies have learned to let her be, only those with a clearly more powerful status dare to order her around. Karashi can be truly vicious if she wants to but usually remains quite civil if you humour her.
SKILLS: plotting
LIKES: resting on a sunny spot, liquor and fish
DISLIKES: being ordered around, having to put in effort and getting her hands dirty

FAMILY: Karashi was born a part of a harpy tribe where the chicks were raised communally. As such she doesn't know which of the older women is her birth mother. Rayu doesn't care much about family but she does want to have chicks as they would raise her status.
BOND: Smog Drurodran'cza and Ash Rither'isa from Arx Atra Mons

The Arena
'Always have a weapon on you', they'd said. Karashi smirked. She was a weapon. Knives nor swords would give her an advantage. Her wings and claws would. But just to be on the safe side, Karashi made sure she was well-rested and well-fed at all times. She'd hardly seen her sister harpies since they'd appeared at Arx Atra Mons. Karashi didn't really regret the fact. She wouldn't hold onto rituals and traditions that were of no consequence in this new world. No, Karashi would look upon this as a chance and she would crawl her way to the top is that was what she needed to do.
She'd been told that she would be taken to the arena when the time was right and they hadn't been kidding. Unceremoniously, she was deposited in the ring that was quite a bit lower than the surrounding seats. Karashi immediately took off to get a better view. She was lazy, not stupid and would not lounge around in between a swarm of ravenous beasts.
The mother of the clutch gave her a look as cold as ice and as sharp as daggers and Karashi lazily spiralled down to one of the sides. She didn't fancy being smacked out of the sky and the mother of this clutch looked like she certainly was capable of that.
Waiting, hovering above the floor Karashi watched as candidates, mostly humans, bonded or got eaten. None of the beasts seemed to try to approach the harpy. Not until a blue beast with four heads and 4 tails directed all their eyes in her direction.
Karashi readied herself but the smog female majestic rank did not have ill intentions for the harpy. Instead she contemplated a bond.
"I believe we are two of a feather." Drurodan'cza commented.
Calm, coiled feelings gingerly made themselves known in Karashi's essence. Like a snake resting but ready to strike at a moment's notice. Karashi herself felt quite the same, like a predatory bird hovering high above a field, waiting until a rodent reared up it's head;
At those thoughts, Drurodan's stomach rumbled loudly and the hydra beast easily snatched a couple of lower ranked beasts with her many tails. She made quick work of the first two, but had maybe sated herself by the time she got to the third. She let the small ash-coloured beast hang in front of her face and seemed to think.
The ash bowed her single head and pleaded: "Let me go and I will serve you."
The smaller beast was not even 3 feet tall, almost half the size of Drurodan, but she kept still in a complete relinquishing of power. As soon as Drurodan let her go, the wriggled away and hid behind Karashi.
"Of course I will serve you too." the ash beast grovelled.
Karashi yawned at the hasty, nervous energy that entered her mind. But having a servant would probably not be a bad thing.

Mating
Months had passed and both beasts had grown, reaching their mature size. Rither'isa knew very well that her role in life was to serve unseen. Stepping in the light could very well mean her end. Not many other beasts would hurt her for fear of Drurodan'cza's anger, but larger and higher-ranked beasts could still take the chance and hurt her.
But lately, the eyes watching her seemed to not only look upon her with hunger. Smaller beasts of the male variety kept an eye on her. Larger beasts seemed to follow her too, wanting to claim her larger sister. Rither-isa didn't know if she was comfortable with the attention.
"I'll not let just any male breed you." Drurodran soothed her.
"If any appear for you that you don't fancy I'll put my life on the line for you." Rither promised.
"Thank you sister." Drurodran replied with the snort that told Rither just how her smog sister valued her power. But who knows, the smaller ash might just make the difference or be enough of a distraction to let Drurodran gain the upper hand. But then, maybe the smog majestic beast might want to spread her genes.
