Name: Hema Carter<br/>Sex: Female<br/>Age: 28<br/><br/>Description: She is half-indian, half English, but takes more after her Inidan mother.  She has darki hair, dark eyes, full lips, and exotic features, though her skin is light enough to 'pass'.<br/><br/>Background: She was born to an Indian mother (a dancer) and a father who was a British officer.  He kept Hema and her mother with him as he was sent to Egypt and Turkey.  Hema learned both traditional Hindu dance as well as the folk and belly dance of Egypt and Turkey. When her father was recalled to England, he left Hema and her mother behind without a second thought.  Hema's mother died soon after of heartbreak and Hema was left to make her way in the world.  She managed to make enough money to survive dancing in dark nightclubs.  The chance to join The Last Laugh was a godsend, pulling her out of a land dangerous to a woman unprotected and alone.<br/><br/>Attraction: She dances a fusion of hindu and belly dance.  Her costumes are adaptations of traditional costumes, even more risque, and designed to be stripped away. She is not shy about her body, losing herself in the earthy sacred power of the dance.  Since the landing of the ship she has continued to dance in small exclusive clubs for the upper class gents, letting herself to be kept as a mistress on occasion.<br/><br/>Relationship with other members: Hema is friendly and greagarious but she has not formed really close relationships with anyone.  Given the abandonment by her father and the death of her mother, she has deep issues with abandoment and is afraid to be really close.<br/><br/>Limits:  Ons and offs.<br/><br/>(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v467/salustra/25Mia.jpg)
