Character: Shahrazad al-Rahman
Series: Trinity Blood (manga)
Character Age: Physically appears to be a "young girl" about 16-20 years old; actual age is unknown, but may be closer to 100-200 years old.
Canon: Roughly 900 years after an apocalyptic war destroyed most of the world, an uneasy peace has been established between Methuselah (vampires) and the Terrans (humans) who fear and hate them. A powerful organization called the Rosencreuz Orden is trying to reignite the conflict for their own gain, and Shahrazad al-Rahman, a countess of the Methuselah's New Human Empire, is unlucky enough to get caught in the middle.
Unlike most of the Methuselah, Shahrazad doesn't hate Terrans or view them as inherently inferior; instead, she treats them as equals. Although she carries herself with the grace and poise characteristic of a noble, Shahrazad is also extremely kind, caring and cheerful. When her Terran servants are taken hostage in canon, she's told to kill an innocent for their lives. Despite regarding her servants as her "beloved family," she can't bring herself to kill. That kindness even extends to strangers, as she's also quick to protect anyone in danger, especially children, and she won't hesitate to kick some ass to do it. But most of the time, she just comes across a compassionate young woman who cares deeply for others.
Sample Post:
My, this is certainly a very strange place. At first, I thought it must be one of the mirages weary desert travelers tell stories about--even if most of them involve large pools of sparkling clean water instead of one that glows green, and the animals are usually pink rather than purple. However, after looking around for a while, I'm not so sure. The idea of a mirage, after all, is that it doesn't exist. Thus, it shouldn't be able to touch back, as the plants and animals here seem to be so fond of doing. I appreciate their friendliness, but I feel there are personal boundaries that should be respected. Therefore, I'd like to ask that they express their affection in ways that do not involve unnecessary touching.
Speaking of touching, I came across a group of your children in the forest earlier. They're quite lively for being dead, aren't they? But I believe it would be best if you taught them to be more careful in their play. I stepped in for a brief moment after a collision left one of their teams a person short. Well, I suppose it was really only part of a person short, but he couldn't have kept playing either way. He tried, but the way he was trying to hop around without any legs looked so painful that I just couldn't let him suffer any longer. The game itself was unfamiliar to me, but it was entertainingly innovative! One of the more creative children even took advantage of the situation when his head fell off, although I'm not sure the receiver of the..."headbutt" felt that way. I hope he won't have too much trouble walking.
--I'm sorry, I'm rambling, aren't I? I apologize for taking up your time with such talk, sir. You've been very kind to me, to listen so diligently that your ears have fallen off--here, let me pick them up for you. There we go, just as good as...perhaps "new" isn't the right word, but "before a young beetle performed its business upon it" seemed a bit impolite to say. Also, how many times do I have to tell you that there's no need for you to look away while we talk? You and I are the same deep down, you know, even if you can only express your feelings with grunts and not words. So please, keep your eyes up here.
...that's closer, but ah, my eyes are not in my chest, so you can put yours back in your head as well.
