Prisoner: Yes
In Prison: Yes
Name: Sanura
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Race: Half-girl
Appearance: Sanura is definitely not a typical looking child. She has the ears and tail of a black jaguar. Her hair is black, but in the right light, darker and lighter spots can be seen. She is also different because all her joints are metal. Her major joints (wrists, elbows, ankles, knees, hips) are clearly metal, but the smaller joints are under her skin. She usually wears long pants and a long sleeve shirt, where the sleeves cover her wrists. The only metal that is usually visible it on her left hand, on the lowest knuckles of her first and second fingers.
Eye Color: Light Hazel
Hair Color: Black
Height: 4'6"
Personality: Sanura is very mature for her age, and is very serious. She only speaks when it is necessary, and doesn't like to have lengthy conversations.
Elements: None
Powers: Because of her joints being metal, she has more strength in all her joints then the average person. She is able to climb where there is seemingly no hand or footholds and can hold on for a long time.
History: Sanura is a foundling. At the age of 5, a group of half-human prisoners discovered her sleeping in the alley of the City. No one had ever seen her before, and they didn't know if she had parents who, like so many, "disappeared" at the hands of the guards, or if she was created by the prison. They tried to ask her if she remembered her parents, but she didn't speak for over a year. when she finally did, she said she didn't know if she remembered parents or not. Or if there was anything before she was found. The other half-humans were just struggling to survive, and none of them wanted them to take responsibility for the child. Yet, they couldn't just leave her to fend for herself. Especially with the brutality of the guards and other criminals; even other prisoners who were full races were cruel to the half-human children. So she became everyone's child, and no one's at the same time.
For the next few years, Sanura was always in the presence of one, or more, of the prisoners who found her. They always kept her out of sight of the guards, but as long as she stayed in the shadows, they left her alone. When she was nine, her guardians let her have a little more freedom, as long as she was within shouting distance. It was then that she made the mistake of trying to befriend some children of her own age. The mistake was that they were not halflings. As soon as they saw her ears and metal joints, they started mocking her, which soon turned into pushing. Sanura tried to fight back, but there were too many of them. But she took the abuse without a sound. One of the older children hit her with something sharp across the knuckles of her left hand, exposing the metal at the base of her first two fingers. When she screamed, the adult halflings realized what was going on and stepped in to save her. The skin never grew back correctly on her hand, so the metal on those knuckles stayed exposed.
After the abuse she suffered at the hands of the other children, Sanura kept to herself for months. She kept getting passed from prisoner to prisoner, staying with whoever would keep her for the night. But as the years passed, she started sneaking away more. She discovered her skill for climbing, and found joy for the first time in her life. The higher she went, and the more dangerous the climb, she better she felt. She made a few friends but most of her time was spent trying to figure out a way to get out of the prison.
