PERSONALITY
A'asima coined the nickname of
'sandfox' when she was only a young girl - named after the desert creature that many travellers initially initially underestimated or thought to be harmless, only to be bitten or scratched after doing anything remotely disturbing of the creature's peace, or even just because it was bored.
Fiery by nature, and combative by nurture, A'asima is a force to be reckoned with outside the fighting ring as she is inside one. Some find her temper and grudge-holding a risk, but if channelled properly, it can make her a valuable asset to the team when aggression and boldness is required.
Combined with a soft heart and loving soul, she is both a passionate and emotional person. These qualities also make A'asima a very loyal and loving teammate, friend, and lover and she is very quick to make friends. Generally, she holds an optimistic outlook on life and enjoys the social aspects of both life and her work. She is eager to please those she looks up to, and very sensitive to disappointing them.
BACKGROUND
Orphaned at a young age, A'asima was taken in by a cook at the headquarters of the Sand Scorpions - the region's largest fighter's guild. Instead of helping her adoptive mother with chopping the onion, the little girl snuck into the training grounds instead to watch the children her age receive practical instruction.
Before long, she was spotted practicing the methods she'd spied through the gaps of training ground walls and taken to the Master for punishment. Instead of striking her with the cane, the Master took her under his wing.
A'asima proved to be a dedicated student who surpassed many of her peers with her fierce, relentless, and single-minded hard work.
Eventually becoming the master's protégé, A'asima could
never quite garner the title of "prized pupil" as the old man's heart still held captive by a now infamous former student of the Sand Scorpions.
A'asima aims to be both the greatest fighter in the region and of the Sand Scorpions. More than anything, however, she yearns for the approval of her Master to be his most highly regarded student.
