Her mother was an elvish prostitute, a slave brought to Shelzar all the way from The Far North. Who her father was is unknown but it is rumored that she is the bastard offspring of a member of the wealthy Asuras family. Not that it really matters; if her father even knows of her existence he has to this date shown no interest in her. In fact the only reason that she was allowed to live past birth is because of her gender.

While most residents of the Seven Sins who snuck into the Pezwahri were looking for unguarded homes to rob, Ayse was instead drawn to the district's grand park and the illusion of the wild that it offered.

He did not remove his dagger from his belt before he did so and Ayse used the blade to kill the man. Knowing that a slave who killed her master could look forward only to the gallows, Ayse loaded some food, clothing, money, and the dagger in a bag and set off into the night. She was well beyond the city gates when her master's body was discovered, stowed away in an Asuras caravan that was making it's way north.</p><p>Since that time Ayse has seen and done many things. She has grown into a mature young woman and for awhile worked as a bodyguard for the Asuras family protecting members of the family traveling with the caravans that carry the goods that have made the family wealthy beyond the dreams of many emperors. Early on in her career she discovered that she was in fact the bastard daughter of Telos Asuras, patriarch of House Asuras. This is quite a feat considering the old man was 74 when he got Ayse's mother pregnant. The old man has even recognized the fact, at least in private. It was he who arranged for Ayse to be moved from the dangerous work of being an outrider for the caravans to being a house bodyguard.</p><p>She is married and has a daughter of her own. One of her first assignments was to guard Helios Asuras, a minor cousin of the family distantly related enough to not have any claim on the leadership of the family but closely related enough to still have claim on the family name. The two of them shared a mutual attraction and eventually ended up as lovers. This was a gross breach of protocol and they hid the fact for several months.</p><p>One night everything came to a head when an assassin employed by a rival family tried to have Helios killed. The family's were involved in a trade war and the other family was about to increase the stakes. Ayse's presence in his bed that night may have been the only thing that saved Helios's life as his guards had been paid off by his enemies. However, the result was their affair was exposed. Only the direct influence of her father prevented Ayse from being expelled from the bodyguard corp. Ayse was assigned a new family member to guard, this time a young girl so that there would be no repeat of her previous indiscretion.</p><p>At the same time Helios approached Telos and received his permission to marry Ayse. A year later Ayse became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. That was four years ago. Helios has been sent to Bluffside to open up House Asuras operations there and Ayse has decided to retire as a bodyguard to settle down with her family and perhaps have more children. However, she also possesses a wanderlust that she inherited from her mother's people and so she continues to work as an adventurer to satisfy her thirst for adventure.</p><p></p><p>Physical Appearance: In many regards Ayse is quite attractive. She wears her long raven hair in a single braid over her shoulder and her eyes are the same color of gray as an approaching storm on the sea. Her skin is tanned from long days working in the sun and she has a slender build. She has some muscle tone but mostly it is lean muscle. Her body type reminds most people of a greyhound or a cheetah. She dresses in simple but attractive clothes that show just the right amount of skin to attract attention but not enough to be mistaken for a courtesan or prostitute. In short, she is the very model of what Asuras men want in a bodyguard. However, her very business like demeanor and the permanent frown on her face are off putting to most men, as is the jagged scar that runs from just below her left eye and down her left cheek to her jaw line.</p><p></p><p>Personality: Many people assume that Ayse is trying very hard to not be a woman. That could not be further from truth. In her private moments she is just as feminine as any other woman; she just suppresses that when she is on the job.
