POMPEII (pohm-pay) is a member of Salsola, ranked as an Associate. They hold no current co-rank.

A jackaldog with a secret, Pompeii is as unusual a character that one is likely to meet on the Peninsula. Far from home and only just finding her footing in the kingdom of Salsola, she is a tougher survivor than her small frame belies. Having caught the eye of the Governor in Portland with the quality of her refined paper goods, Pompeii proved herself a canny merchant and a skilled craftsman. She was invited to accompany Blair on the long pilgrimage back to Salsola Proper to participate in its Decennial birthday celebrations in April of 2021.

Since her arrival, Pompeii has been given the grand tour of the Thistle Kingdom by Morrow Larue, a ward of the queen and a seemingly harmless ally in her new neighborhood. Having deemed himself her Sponsor, Morrow is attempting best he can to impart crucial knowledge of Salsola's cultural norms upon the exotic ex-Outsider. But undoubtedly, Pompeii has her own designs for the future...

Pompeii is a melanistic, jackaldog crossbreed and it shows in her waif-like form. Her limbs are long and willowy giving her a dancers frame. What stands out the most on this woman is her large, owlish eyes that are always bright and observant. Yellow tints stand out against the deep, honeyed-brown of her irises with long, dark lashes that encircle them.

Her ears almost appear to large for her head, but they truly frame her pointed fox-like face. Her hair is kept short, above her shoulders and during special occasions she can be seen sporting brightly colored head scarfs and head dresses. Peii is highly humanized, she prefers being able to use her hands for her many crafts and wear clothing to compliment her waif-like and foreign appearing frame. She wears a variety of Patiala-styled garments, her favourites being a mix of purples, golds, reds and teals.

Cloaked almost completely head-to-toe in shadows, during the summer months the tips of her fur grow a little sun bleached sporting the only color to her coat which has deep brown low lights. There is a small grey marking in the center of her chest, perhaps damaged hair follicles covering an old scar. Her ears are pierced on each side in which she tends to wear gold jewelry to compliment her bright yellow eyes.

H I S T O R Y

Pompeii has never told a soul about her true past or where she came from exactly. While bits of pieces of her tales about her history may contain some truths woven into some fantastical story it is not entirely clear. An enigma to those she meets, it is obvious she has had some kind of formal training at least because her skills are varied, but she has many strengths. Whether she lied to apprentice under such craftsman she will never admit.

Whether she is running from her past or running towards a bright and interesting future is unsure, either way Pompeii hopped a ship sailing from the major port in Lisbon and traveled to Freetown where her talents allowed her to earn a small living while she was exploring the area and acquiring tidbits of information of those that were in power near the coast.

Having caught the eye of the Governor in Portland with the quality of her refined paper goods, Pompeii proved herself a canny merchant and a skilled craftsman. She was invited to accompany Blair on the long pilgrimage back to Salsola Proper to participate in its Decennial birthday celebrations in April of 2021.
