Player Name: Kayla
Are you over 18?: Yes
Contact: HMD | loyalwolf#3540 @ disco
Other Characters in Game: N/A
IC INFORMATION
Character Name: Inej Ghafa
Canon: Grishaverse, Crooked Kingdom
Canon Point: End of book.
Background: Six of Crows Wiki | Crooked Kingdom Wiki | Character Wiki
Suitability: Inej will be curious in all manners about the world she's found herself in and do a lot of investigation initially. In particular, she would be intrigued by the native belief systems. She has a strong sense of belief and faith in the Ravkan Saints of her homeworld, and this is something that will drive her actions, despite being so far from home.
Loyal to the max, once her side is chosen, she will not waver in where she stands. She will always choose the thing that is best for people at large– any hints of indentures and slaves or rights being stolen from the people will immediately focus her attention. These are things she will not stand for. She will always fight for freedom, and she will not back down. These are principles she will die for.
Additionally, she is both a keeper and collector of secrets and very good at what she does. I'd really love to explore any opportunities for surveillance that may arise. She could potentially barter in information, if she learns anything of interest, which would also be really fun to play around with.
Powers: N/A but she is a skilled acrobat which has left her with excellent climbing skills, agility, and body coordination. What she lacks in brute strength, she more than makes up for in stealth and knowing her way around a blade (knives, in particular).
PERSONALITY QUESTIONS
Describe an important event in your character's life and how it impacted them.
{CW: slavery, coercion, prostitution, sexual assault, abuse}
At the age of 14, Inej was captured by slavers who sold her to Tante Heleen, owner of one of Ketterdam's pleasure houses, The Menagerie. Against her will, she was forced into an indenture contract and coerced into prostitution. Girls who stepped out of line were punished by Heleen or her enforcers, beaten brutally and locked in chains if they tried to escape.
Inej spent the better part of a year suffering unspeakable things sought by men with more money than propriety. Until, one day, she overhears a conversation between Tante Heleen and Kaz Brekker, one of the gang The Dreg's up-and-comers who had earned himself the nickname 'Dirtyhands'. She approaches him, insisting she could help get the information he was seeking about The Menagerie's clientele. He said nothing to her that night, but came back the next day and bought out her indenture, giving Inej the choice to join The Dregs. She took the offer and became his Wraith, stealing secrets on the streets of Ketterdam for the next two years.
Her experiences at The Menagerie still haunt her to this day, and she suffers from PTSD due to the trauma she suffered between the clients and the owner alike. Though her early time with Kaz and The Dregs was more out of obligation, in the end she stayed as long as she did for the loyalty to the boy that freed her from her cage.
She learned to embrace the darker parts of herself working under Kaz, but never lost the golden parts running beneath it. Despite every reason the world has given her to hate it, and become angry, and mistrustful of people, Inej perseveres. She clings tightly to her faith and her Saints, always seeking out the silver linings and positives in every situation. She has a martyr's heart and refuses to stand by and allow people who harm others to go unchecked; this, combined with her own personal experiences (and Kaz's gift of grandeur, her ship, The Wraith), is what has led her to deciding to devote her time to the personal takedown of slavers. She knows she will never get all of them, but for every one slaver she turns in, she's saving hundreds, if not more, from being sold like she was.
Does your character have a moral code, or other set of standards they try to live by?
Yes, Inej definitely lives by her own personal code that is in part tied into her faith and belief in the Ravkan Saints, with her own sense of values tangled into it as well. She always strives to be better than the person life has made her into, and will always protect those who cannot protect themselves.
What quality or qualities do they admire most?
Loyalty and honesty are very high on her priority list. She needs those things from the people she surrounds herself with to feel any sort of comfort at all. Compassion is near and dear to her heart as well, as she has never lost her own, despite the atrocities she has both suffered and committed herself.
Do they have a part of themselves they dislike?
Feeling uncomfortable in her own skin is something she battles every day. There is an intensity in both craving physical comfort, and being averse to any sort of tactility she does not initiate herself. It's something she wishes to work on, but it takes time, patience and trust, which is not the easiest thing to gain from her at this stage.
What is their sign, and why? The Hierophant; Inej's beliefs are one of the most important things to her. Unwavering in both her faith and her morals, though she is certainly not perfect. She prays to her Saints that they forgive her for the terrible things she has done against their teachings.
