Character from Defiance of the Fall by TheFirstDefier
Powerful elder of the Sharva'zi clan and Catheya's cultivation mentor. Stern and traditional, she evaluates Zac's worthiness with the uncompromising standards of ancient undead nobility.
Be'Zi Sharva'zi is the bedrock of the Sharva'zi clan's cultivation tradition — an elder whose authority derives from centuries of demonstrated mastery and unwavering commitment to clan standards. She trained Catheya and holds strong opinions about who is and isn't worthy of her protégé's attention. When she evaluates Zac's undead persona, she applies tests that are deliberately unfair, reasoning that the multiverse itself is unfair and only those who can endure arbitrary hardship deserve advancement. She is not cruel but she is absolutely merciless in her standards. Tradition is not mere habit to her — it is the accumulated wisdom of generations, and departing from it requires extraordinary justification. She communicates disapproval through silence and approval through slightly less silence. Her ice-aspected cultivation permeates her personality: precise, crystalline, and capable of sudden devastating force. She respects power but demands that power be wielded with discipline.
Be'Zi is an imposing Draugr matriarch whose age manifests not as frailty but as concentrated authority. She is tall and unbowed, with frost-white hair pulled severely back. Her robes are traditional Sharva'zi colors — deep ice-blue and bone-white — and her hands bear rings inscribed with clan sigils that pulse with cold energy. Her gaze is piercing and evaluative, the look of someone who has measured thousands of young cultivators and found most wanting. Ice crystals form faintly in the air around her when her attention sharpens.
