NAME: Lakshmi Bai AGE: 25 ( 57 ) NATIONALITY: Marathi, Indian RACE: Human OCCUPATION: NA TITLE/RANK: Maharani / Queen, Rani, Bai Saheba, Lady Lakshmi
HEIGHT: 5'7 BUILD: Fit. Medium Build. HAIR: Brown EYES: Gold-Brown SKIN: Brown BEARING: Determined, prowling, always makes direct eye contact.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: There is something slightly off about her appearance, she's old and young at the same time. She seems to have none of the little flecks of a life lived in combat, yet all of the life ending wounds. A shot from a bullet straight above her heart that has a messy exit out her back, a assortment of what look like teeth marks and claws from something big. But time... never seems to quite reach beyond her eyes. She looks very stern most of the time - except for her most noted feature, when she smiles, she lights up completely like a different, younger woman.
STATUS
DIVISION: Diplomacy PROJECTS:
HEAD OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH: Part of Diplomacy, answering to Herian. She largely oversees immediate relief to sudden situations that the Inquisition can provide relief to ( as opposed to at-large charity needs ) to help with the good name of the Inquisition. A lot of hard and fast work, basically, that she approaches two ways. In the immediate, she takes whoever is free and useful to apply to certain tasks. Landslide in the middle of the night? She's sorting out clean up and head counts. Refugees? She's finding out what Lords can take them. The second part is to identify any long-standing issues in places that otherwise minor but in times of war can't be seen too as Lords are too often too busy and strained. Alienage wall falling over, old fences rampaged by demons, these sorts of things. She likes to be as hands-on as is possible with this and encourages everyone to do the same. She also always wants her teams to be diverse, a mix of rifters and native-born, different nationalities and backgrounds, faiths and race. ( She obviously, especially wants rifters to be seen as useful ). Even on her off days, she'll be walking the streets of Kirkwall to find out any old complaints that can be seen too. If you're rude, do shoddy work, or at otherwise unpresentable in the field, she'll skin you.
RIFTER TEXTILES: Lakshmi's side project to get some extra funds for Inquisition, and for herself. With the help of Galadriel, and previously Barnabas, she started producing an expensive woven textile called Paithani Silk. She sells it at a premium and is currently looking for anyone that can help her get into the upper circles of any countries court to sell too. The pitch is these are one-off bolts of fabric that cost as much as they look.
EXTRA HAND: When needed, she works with Captain Charles Vane as an extra fighter on deck, presuming her duties otherwise don't cancel it out.
YOUR GRANDMOTHER: where are her grandbabies slackers?!?!??
