She is slender of build with small bosom and delicate features but her willowy physique belies a very agile and strong young woman. Her hair hangs long, just over her breasts and is a pale almost white blonde. Her eyes are a gray green but hold a passionate fire. Her facial features are delicate but accented with a strong pronounced jaw line and full pale pink lips. The complexion of her skin is naturally a dark tan which hints at some ancestry other then the Andor. <br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> She has a strong sense of justice and is driven by the righteous desire to protect the weak. Her family are charged with enforcing the laws Caemlin and have held this position for centuries as distant relatives of the first Queen of Andor. So from generation to generation they have passed down a sense of duty and justice. This gives her a healthy respect for authority and a deep understanding of the complexity of laws as they effect the citizens they are applied to. Ishara however has a stubborn streak and is a bit hot headed. From time to time this fiery side of her can get her into trouble as she makes rash decisions in the name of helping someone she feels is being wronged. It took more then a few trips to the Mistress of Novices when she first entered the tower for her to gain an appreciation for the reasoning behind the harsh training that they undergo. Since those days she has grown a lot and is far less of a trouble maker.<br/><br/>Although, Ishara does have another side to her.. She likes men. In all shapes and sizes, she enjoys their company and it is not uncommon for her to be found practicing her fencing while surrounded by a group of eager young warders or those in training.<br/><br/>She is also bold and volunteers for any assignment that sees her get a chance to leave the walls of the White Tower and/or ride a horse. <br/><br/>Ishara is a warrior at heart and a knight by her sense of honor and duty. She has an affinity for the Blue Ajah but will choose the Green.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> Ishara is a product of her family. A noble family that goes back to the founding days of Andor. The first Queen of Andor was Ishara Casalain and she is her namesake. Over the generations the family branches split off and now Ishara's current family is a distant cousin to those that sit on the Lion Throne of Andor. She has no succession rights as they are not even considered one of the major noble houses but in tribute to the family name and house all generations were charged with the care of the people in the form of law enforcement within the city walls. Their code is the service and protection of all those within the walls of Caemlyn.<br/><br/>Ishara grew up in this environment and often escorted her father as he made rounds to meet with the various guard stations in his role as the Commander of the Caemlyn Guard. The guards often taught her how to use swords and ride a horse in ways that average young noble women did not. This made her well adept at sword work and combat horse back riding as well as jumping and even racing. As she got older around the men she also started taking to their habits of getting rowdy, though she was far to young to enjoy the best of a good party.<br/><br/>Finally one day in her early years she was told by her mother that as the eldest daughter of the House of Casalain she was to travel to the White Tower in Tar Valon for testing. It was a tradition in the family handed down from the time of the original Queen that the eldest daughter (heir) of the royal family would be sent to Tar Valon to be trained in the ways of politics, diplomacy, and Daes Dae'mar. While the Casalain house was not directly required to follow this, as they were no longer heirs to the throne, they still followed the tradition. The one power ran strong within the family line for many generations now and so the eldest daughter was always sent to the White Tower. Usually ever other generation one of the girls of her family tested strong. <br/><br/>On arrival at the Tower, Ishara was eager but nervous. If she did not possess the strength to channel she would be put into novice training only to be sent home in a few years. But if she passed it would mean a life of service as Aes Sedai. The thoughts of adventure thrilled her young mind. The test was positive and she was now a novice, on the fast track to reaching accepted.  Her years as a novice were rough at first. She was stubborn, prone to rash decisions, would easily lose her focus as she desired to train with the warders sometimes more then she did her books and channeling. Eventually the sisters broke her of those distractions. In the years to follow that, Ishara learned quick and was eager to share her knowledge with others. Now she is strong in the power, very adept at fire weaves and earth weaves, and manages to find the time to indulge her desire to be around the men as well as finish all her studies in a timely manner.<br/><br/>It's been eight years of hard training and studying but Ishara, the young noble woman is ready to Test for the Shawl. She only awaits to be called.<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">OOC Notes:</span></span></div><hr/><strong>O&amp;O:</strong>  players (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=137494.0) <br/><strong>Available for bonding:</strong> Soon</div></div></div>
