The Genasi
Appearance
This woman stands 5'4", her light blue hair glistening, a coat of fresh frost seeming to rest upon it. Her skin is white as snow, free of any visible marks or scars. Breath comes out in cold puffs no matter the areas temperature, a pair of ocean blue eyes gazing about the world in wonderment and fear. If one steps close enough to her, she seems radiate a cool presence, like that of a winter wind. A strange icey shape can almost always be seen slung across one shoulder or in her hand, if it -Can- be seen. With a closer look, it would seem to some kind of bow made of a translucent ice. A chill wind like that from the high peaks of mountains can often being heard even from a distance, seemingly from this strange bow.
If she is brave enough(Or perhaps you've got x-ray vision you naughty minx) these markings can be seen.
A black intricate mark trails from Sorlla's wrist and up her left arm. The mark seems impressed into her flesh, looking almost burned into the skin. It weaves around her arm until it touches her shoulder, at which point it splits into three branches.
One traces to her breasts, and then breaks apart into several lines. The second moves further up her shoulder and stops at her neck. The last moves onto her back. It seems to form a rather intricate symbol, in the center of her back below her neck.
Upon her back, below the symbol almost as if they carefully avoided it are dark ugly looking scars. They cover near the entirety of her back, some looking quite old. Layers and layers of them. Some of the scars seem quite normal, having a slightly white/blue hue on her skin. But a few are.. Black
Personality
Sorlla is a quite woman, speaking in a soft heavily accented voice. She is known to be kind, rarely raising her voice and always eager to help those that need it. She is easy to startle, often being skittish around that which she does not understand. She often shows her naivety of how the multiverse works, though she is much improved from when she first came to Sigil.

Before Sigil
When Sorlla was born, she was marked as some Landor children are prone to be. As usual the reason for this marking was not given, though typically it is to be an 'honor' of some kind. While Fradon was quite proud of this honor that was to be given to his daughter, Katherine was very much distressed by it.
When Sorlla was two years old, Katherine determined the reason for the markings. Her daughter was to become the Crexxa of Landor. Princess of Landor. A slave to Zinehaimlos, to rule over her people as he saw fit. The last Crexxa had died about ten years earlier of old age, a loyal follower of Zinehaimlos and a pawn of his rule. She attempted to smuggle the baby Sorlla out of Landor and away from the fate Zinehaimlos had for her. She was however betrayed by her own husband Fradon to the Night Takers; Katherine was taken the night before her planned escape. Sorlla was to never even know of her mother’s existence, Fradon instead telling her that she was carved from the ice by him, like a full blooded ice elemental might have been.
Sorlla grew up to be a rather stubborn girl, often rebelling against the many imposed laws of Landor. Punishment for such insubordination was public lashings. Sorlla received her first public lashing when she was only 7 years old for singing. This was not the only time, however. The punishments continued on for years. This has led to many layers of scars upon her back. Sometimes the punishments were more severe, and green steel was used, leading to black scars that do not fade like the others. She was known to take claim for misdeeds of friends even, to spare them the punishment.
Showing a high interest in easing the pain of others, Sorlla was naturally attracted to the local healer, Sheena Velma. Sorlla apprenticed under her for several years, happily enough despite the many restrictions placed upon her by the town. She learned much of herbal remedies, tending illness, treating injury’s and other such tasks. It was while there that she got her hands on a few forbidden books, keeping them secret and safe due to the nature of what would happen if she was found with them. One such book spoke of a goddess. Selune. She was intrigued by what she read of this goddess of the moon, and begun to worship her in a way, secretly.
It was when she turned 16 that things changed for her. The purpose of her markings was announced, and her life as it was ended. She was declared the Crexxa, the 'princess' to be of Landor. She was to be taken into custody, and forced to 'rule' over Landor in Zinehaimlos's name. She would be a slave to him. Panicked at this outlook, Sorlla sought out any way of escape from her fate. She attempted to escape by running, yet was quickly stopped by her own father, who planned to hold her until Zinehaimlos's flowers could come for her.
She however found another answer when she called out to her goddess Selune for aid. She was rewarded with finding a silvery portal behind a wall within her own home, that had gone unfound until now. Without looking back, Sorlla set out from her home, to find the portal was one way. The destination? Sigil.
