Picture: 
Age: 17
Skills: Healer / Fighter (Hand-to-hand; daggers, short sword)
Race: Human
Biography:
In one small village in DaKina, when a child was born, it was customary for a village sorcerer to bless them with his magic. A pair of twin girls were born, but when it came time to bless them, something went wrong. The girl's mother requested that they would be there for each other always, so the sorcerer enchanted a stone for each of them that would tell them the location of the other twin in any condition at any distance.
He meant to bless the twins at the same time, but out of habit only made it strong enough for one child. Because of this, the spell improvised and merged the twins and the stones together. The two girls grew up in the same body, being able to switch which consciousness was in control, though they could speak with each other just by thinking. The only indication as to who was in control was the stone, which was a different color for each twin. They grew up fairly normally, Xena was a promising healer, and Mieha could beat anyone her age with a dagger.
Over time Xena's skill with herbs became better than the village healer's, and Mieha could at least defend herself against anyone twice her age, if not beat them into a pulp. Things went on like this until the villagers began to get nervous around them. An old superstition about red hair put them on edge, supposedly being the mark of a demon child. Adding that to the fact that they were twins, another local belief that both twins would be two faced, or traitors, and their 'unique condition', and it was a miracle they tolerated the two as long as they did. Putting into account their skills growing to such a remarkable level, it grew to the point where they were ready to chase the girls out of the village with pitchforks and torches. Xena and Mieha Emer left when they were fourteen, now working at a tavern in Quador, a small village, at the age of seventeen.
Description:
A simple long sleeved green dress, and brown sandals. When out of the public eye or in potential, even in the slightest, danger, she had a green sash around her waist with seemingly dozens of tiny glass bottles in them. Under her sleeves she has a dagger attached to each upper wrist. Her pendant is tucked under her clothes. Almost everything she wears is to detract as much attention as possible.
