Ulhrah Maulvi

~30, 5'7" appears elven with "more fae like qualities," pinkish purple opalescent eyes, the ability to alter her shape using glamour. Unnaturally stealthy.

Brough up fae, which means she was never exposed to or forbidden to learn about other cultures of the Otherworld. A lot of cultural nuance goes right over her head and modern conveniences are a novelty to her. She struggles with the bureaucracies of mob politics and thinks all this posturing is pointless when you can simply kill your enemies, which is far more efficient. Ulhrah has an insatiable craving for sweets, she almost can't help herself.

She’s a new addition to Tlakeln’s crew, trained to be an assassin who works in the shadow and has to learn the bureaucracies of mafia politics and how to work with more thuggish types

very sheltered so does not understand most cultural references and modern conveniences are a novelty to her. She struggles with the bureaucracies of mob politics and thinks all this posturing is pointless when execution of your enemies far more efficient. Ulhrah has an insatiable craving for sweets (jelly beans are her favorite.)

Alluring but there’s always something unwelcoming about her; complete confidence in her skills, feigned confidence with everything else.

Appearance

Background

Per an arangment between their two factions, sent to work with Tlakeln to be reintegrated into society and to be extra protection (other factions getting rowdy and trying things). 

Raised by Mada Faahthorn and employed as an assassin for the fae. Saved from a human trafficking circle (the fae like to steal human children) but not before trauma. A changeling, “fae touched” in the sense that she was born human, stolen by the fae and changed by fae magic. Ulhrah is "too far gone" to be reintegrated into human society.

Background: Believes she’s one of the fae but is actually human made changeling, the trauma of that experience made her forget that she ever was human.

Backstory: Even though stealing human infants has long since been declared a taboo within the fae community, the Unseelie cling to the old ways and continue to steal children when the opportunity presents itself. In Ulhrah’s case, she was older (3-5 years old) and was kidnapped/lured away from her human family by the Unseelie desperate to create more changelings. Ulhrah proved to be harder to break due to her age, but broke nonetheless, forgot her human origins and became the assassin the Unseelie wanted her to be. Even if she doesn’t fully remember her human origins, she’s continuously reprimanded for having “human” wants and desires and believes this part of her is a weakness that needs to be stamped out.

Relationships & Connections

Ulhrah is a fish out of water, disconnected from what she knows and everyone she meets is immediately suspicious of her because she is part fae.

  • member of the Faahthorn Clan, treats them as if they are her family
  • WRITING/⟡ Published OC Database/Mafia AU/Tlakeln Orthrod - enemies to lovers situation; Ulhrah is frustrated that Tlakeln doesn’t trust her but doesn’t actually want to kill him; for now she'll settle for getting under his skin and pressing all his buttons.
  • Mada Faahthorn - Ulhrah has deep respect and affection for Mada, the person who raised her, even if Mada doesn't return that affection in kind.
  • Peyton - kidnapper, progenitor

Themes

  • generational trauma (probably)
  • The Warrior - Confident, (until they are laid low), strong, determind, uncompromising. Usually already in posession of a unique skill set and seek justice or vengence.
  • Fish out of Water
  • Fool for Love?
  • Ineffectual Loner
  • Mafia Princess? - She has the right attitude for this, kind of a brat, Tlakeln begrudgingly dotes on her

Visual Development

  • VIS. DIRECTION: Alluring but there’s always something unwelcoming about her; complete confidence in her skills, feined confidence with everything else.
  • SHAPE/PROPORTION: She’s fast and sharp, opposite physique from Tlakeln; really dynamic posing (S shaped) and sharper edges to show that she’s outwardly prickly; she’s lean and slim, slightly gangly to help her feel more supernatural and out of place.
  • COLOR/COSTUME: Narratively speaking her outfits should be simple as she was not allowed to have belongings; tend towards function over fashion, something that wouldn’t hinder her in a fight - simple top, comfortable shoes, flexible bottoms. Darker/neutral colors - she is still exploring self expression through outfits.**
