DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Vini has a small birthmark upon the juncture of her stomach and hip that resembles a female figure consumed by vines of thorns. It is a mark the bearer of the dance is labeled with at birth to determine her place within the Abzoruk community. The position is one of high regard as the proceeds often pay the remainder of the year for the entire caravan.

WEAPONS: Vini is not without her wiles, however, she does keep a dagger sheathed upon her right thigh in instances of real trouble.
SKILLS: Vini has practiced the art of her people's dance since she was old enough to walk. There are very few dancers within the community, and before Vini's birth, the last dancer had died nearly a decade before. It had been a hard time for the Abzoruk. Vini encompasses grace, agility, stamina, speed, flexibility, intelligence, cunning and beauty, but she is quite opinionated...a trait not welcomed by the time considering her gender. Being from a family of fortune tellers, Vini also has the ability to read Tarot Cards and palms, but her focus is on her dancing as the burden of providing for her people lays at her feet.

HISTORY: Vini knows nothing outside of the Abzoruk community. Aside from the yearly fairs and festivals, she has been relatively sheltered. Her father dazzles spectators with his strength and balance, while her mother prepares deliciously mouthwatering morsels to tempt the customer's pallet, as well as reading fortunes. Vini has no siblings, but every person within the caravan is like family. It was her father's hope that Vini would wed Nicu, a young, strong, handsome Abzoruk who aided in the protection of the encampment...but Vini has no feelings for the man other than the love of someone whom she has grown up with, a brother.

Vini is only known by that name to those close to her, which are quite few and far between. To her parents, she is known as Nefertari, named after Nefertari Meritmut, an Egyptian queen, and the first of the Great Royal Wives of Ramesses the Great. Vini's parents strove to raise her in the image of her namesake, but Vini fought them tooth and nail.
