She usually keeps her wavy mahogany hair pinned up in a loose knot outside of combat, the upswept style framing a finely boned face and delicately pointed ears.

Amongst the yuan-ti, Sssakkariah is sulky and rebellious, loathed to bow down and serve her morally degenerate and supposed 'betters'. And yet amongst the other races, she finds herself occasionally defending her people against her will, for though she feels little affinity for her own kind, she feels even less for the other races and there is no one else.

Coupled with her stature from a lower caste family and her unusual reluctance towards utter ruthlessness, Sssakkariah found herself derided and harassed from every side, her accomplishments ignored and passed over in favor of other, more-connected students.

Well, that was the final straw. Sick of the viciousness, hypocrisy, and malice she saw everywhere, she summoned her courage and renounced her people, and left Zangala, never to return. People in the lands beyond were barbarians, or so she heard, but they couldn't be any more intolerable than this. Since then, she has pondered the wisdom of her decision many times, especially when the seeming idiocy of people she deals with taxes her patience or when the longing for someone familiar grows near past bearing, but she knows deep within her heart that there is a place for her out here... she just has to find it.</p><p></p><p>Fortunately, a skilled swordarm can always find some work, so Sssakkariah has been drifting where her jobs take her.
