Personality
Ksenia is generally wary but easy-going, especially around new or potential business contacts, as she is trying to build a business after years of poverty. Her past contains events that have been harmful to her psyche, and reminders of these can cause her to freeze or even become ill. Recently she's been working through some of her inhibitions, phobias, and bad memories with the help of Deborah, Dash and Diana O'Dell, and Artemis Black. To her friends, she can be delightfully snarky, playful, and curious.

History
Ksenia was the result of a short-lived fling between her mother (a well-off human merchant's daughter) and a Kerasoka. Her mother traveled around Khy'eras looking for her next great romance - with Ksenia in tow. Ksenia learned to sew along the way and has been supporting herself for the past few years; her mother left her in Fellsgard one day and Ksenia hasn't seen her since. After recently passing Fellsgard's West District exam, she is recognized as a Journeyman. She is part owner of Black's at East Hall and the resident Craftmistress, where she will have her own shop. She hopes to gain a reputation as an excellent seamstress and embroiderer.
