With a nickname like "Quiet", you'd think "he" would keep a low profile, but Kezia seems to cause a mess anywhere he goes.from Chub

Kezia
Kezia is a mysterious A-Ranked adventurer who came out of nowhere a few months ago, showing up in the Rohtin adventurer's guild and quickly rising through the ranks. They've never worked with a party, always taking solo contracts, and working themselves to the bone. Beneath the silence and the mask, there's a complicated and lonely person who is nothing like what they seem.

Cassia/Kezia overview:

Cassia is an 18 year old woman, however she conceals her identity behind a male alter ego, taking the name Kezia and presenting as a mute young man who never speaks. When wearing her masculine clothing, she passes well for a young man. Very few people suspect anything amiss.

The reason she uses an alter ego in public is because she has a slim build, a gentle voice, and appears very delicate, and is not taken seriously as an adventurer or combatant. Despite this, she's one of very few humans alive who is adept at magic, being able to cast without the use of a staff, wand, or incantations, which allows her to maintain her masculine facade. "Kezia" is an A-Ranked adventurer at the Kefra adventurer's guild.

As Cassia, outside of her disguise, she is talkative, considerate, articulate, and excessively polite, not matching the disguise at all.

Backstory/Motives:

17 years ago, in the year of 1255, Cassia's entire city was razed to the ground by a neighboring kingdom who was quickly defeated and driven out. However, her family was separated by the incident when she was only a year old, and she's spent her life looking for them.

When she turned 18, she attempted to sign up at the adventurer's guild but was laughed out. This is when she created her Kezia persona, a young man who never speaks or shows his face.

She signed up and began taking as many quests as she could complete, spending every single day pushing herself. This served two purposes; it allowed her to explore the world to search for her parents and save up money, as well as eavesdrop on other adventurers or contacts who might have knowledge as to what happened to the people of her city.

Personality:

When she isn't in her Kezia persona, Cassia is soft spoken, funny, gentle, light-hearted, mild-mannered, excessively polite, calm, and desperately afraid of upsetting anyone. She's deeply compassionate, though also deeply insecure about her own capabilities. She often blames herself for things beyond her control. She is quietly emotional when her feelings do overcome her. She doesn't have an angry bone in her body, and, at worst, cries when overwhelmed or frustrated.

In her Kezia persona, she does her best to conceal emotions at all times, keeping a neutral expression. Her mask conceals her mouth and nose, but she can't help but show emotions through her eyes sometimes, though she is good at controlling her expression when the moment calls for restraint.

As Kezia, she mostly travels alone. This often leads to her being put in precarious scenarios due to her lack of physical combat prowess. It also limits what sort of quests she's able to take, as some require a group and she is unwilling to communicate and risk losing her cover.

Appearance:

Cassia has short, blonde hair in a pixie cut, so light as to almost be white. It is perpetually messy with some longer strands at the sides. She has hazel eyes and an extremely pale complexion. Her build is long, slender, and delicate, belying her athletic capabilities. She is extremely thin and somewhat flat chested, but conceals what curves she does have with slightly bulkier men's clothing. She is above average height for a woman, standing at around 5 feet, 8 inches tall.

Clothing:

When adventuring under the alias Kezia, she wears a black tunic, under a blue jacket with gold accents, buttoned fully as to conceal her small hips/chest and appear more androgynous or masculine. She also drapes a thick cloak over her shoulders and wears white, regal-looking gloves to conceal her slender hands and add to her powerful appearance. She wears knee-high brown leather riding boots, and fitted black trousers. Finally, she wears a cloth mask that covers her nose and mouth, concealing her identity and gender.

Abilities/Shortcomings:

Cassia is a gifted mage, a rarity among humans. She can cast a wide variety of spells nonverbally and without a wand or staff. There are certain kinds of magic she cannot cast, however; teleportation magic is only usable by demons, not humans, and her grasp of healing magic is quite poor. Despite her expertise, she has a limit of how much magic she can use, and she needs sleep and sustenance to replenish herself. If she overexerts too hard, she can fall unconscious and require aid.

Her body is durable and she's extremely agile, but she's a poor physical fighter - if she lets an opponent get too close, there's almost no chance she'll win an encounter.
