Naviatae Viosabria is a daemonfae, that is, she is a cross between a sun elf and a greater spawn of the nine hells, or daemon, if you prefer. While Naviatae's heritage is questionable, her status as a half-breed is unquestionable, with long, slender pointed ears and the most blatant mark of a demonspawn, large leathery wings. She stands at a height of six feet, five inches, a tall lass, and being half-demon blooded, she is slightly more filled out than most elves. Her waist-line and frame are still smaller than a barbarian human's might be at her height, but muscles are lean, well-toned, and no doubt strengthened by the dark blood that runs through them. She often is mistaken for a sickly pale dark elf, as her skin is the color of ash, and her hair a bleached, pure ivory in color. Her eyes are a piercing, somewhat unnaturally vibrant yellow in color, bright and reflective of light, not unlike predatory animals.

Naviatae bears a few features which change depending on her whims. The length and style of her hair make an excellent example. Usually, though, she wears her hair with shoulder length bangs on either side of her face, with the rest tied back in two buns and ponytails that hang down behind her all the way to her rear end. With thick leathery skin, though it looks supple and smooth, Naviatae tends to favor light armor or no armor at all, particularly due to the curious wings sprouting from the small of her back, and the fighting style she prefers to use. Her favored armor is a plate breastplate that fully covers her ample bosom (though black, gold, and white colors highlight the curves, with black coloring the bottoms of her breasts.), as well as her shoulders and upper arms. Underneath the somewhat imperial looking plate is worn a simple black swashbuckler shirt, with golden trim. Her belly and lower back are left bare, and a plate 'skirt' decorates her hips, rear, and front, to protect essentials and hold her weaponry.

In terms of look and shape, Naviatae is not hard to look upon. Being half daemon and half elf in nature, her features are fair, if a little sharp, eyebrows thin and lashes long, with a slightly pointed chin. Lips are a glossy black in color, broken by two small fangy points that give her a devilishly sly smile, and eyes are somewhat angular. From her earlobes dangle a pair of earrings, mithril in nature, small fans (not sharp mind you). Her form, of course, is easy on the eyes, with a large bust, a flat waist, and a full rear and wide hips, which are necessary, considering the weaponry that dangles from them. There is a long, black spaded tail, leathery and smooth, that extends from the bottom of plated skirt to a length of approximately 4 feet.

Naviatae has four leathery wings that sprout from the small of her back. They are somewhat small, but can carry her into the air effectively. Four bones arch from the very center of her lower back, approximately five inches above her rump, sticking out roughly in the shape of an X, from which unfold the four black wings, not unlike fans. These wings are approximately three feet long, and have a bony frame to keep them rigid when extended. Most notable about the four wings, however, is that along the edge of these wings are glossy black blades of some sort of black metal, bolted, no doubt painfully, into the very edges of her wings. These black blades outline the entire top (or bottom, for the bottom two wings) of her wings, and are effectively battle fans when fully extended, as the wings are somewhat durable save for a direct attack to the stem. While these wings are never actually 'gone,' Naviatae can make them invisible and cause her back to appear smooth, and curl the tail up in her skirt, in order to pass as a drow or ash elf. Spells or detections that pick up on demons, however, will still mark her, and a true seeing spell will reveal the wings.

Naviatae herself carries two black fans at her side, oriental looking fans. The two at her side slightly shorter than the wing fans, hanging down either side of her hips at a length of two feet, and likely a width of four when fully extended. Unlike the wingblades, the blades in the normal fans bear inverted arches at the tips, for catching weaponry or tearing at skin and bone, rather than simply slicing. When fighting, Naviatae is known to actually openly weep while she dances. Whether it is due to the demonic blood, or due to the fact that the bolts that run throughout her wings pain her immensely is unknown, but she tends to withdraw from most battles if they last for an extensive amount of time, prefering to cut and run.

Other than these, Naviatae does not carry any other weaponry on her unless you count the small fangs she bears. She calls herself a spelldancer, used to twisting and whirling with the fans to attack most enemies, but, like any demon, having a small arsenal of spells, mostly clerical, to back her up when things get too hot. She does have one other important characteristic, though.

When Naviatae wishes, she can turn into a hand and a half blade once per day (and revert back in the same day). In this form, Naviatae is useless without a wielder, naturally, but has several spells and abilities that become avaiable to the wielder when she is picked up. Anyone she does not deem worthy of wielding her, however, will find their life force siphoned, not unlike a vampire, at a slowly building rate that initially feels like heartburn but escalates into the pain of a heart attack. As a blade, Naviate, also known as the Painbringer, is a double-edged bastard sword, one side long and smooth, mady for cutting, ending in a sharp point for stabbing. The other side of the blade bears a faint, angular hook at the end for catching, and rows of teeth along the blade for sawing or hacking at enemies. The blade itself is the color of ash, though it shines with unnatural polish. The crosspiece is set around a large circular topaz with a black iris, unquestionably Navi's eye, from which two six inch long fans protrude, sharp and made as much for defense as surprise attacks with the pommel. The handle itself bears the black, white, and golden coloring of Naviatae's normal armor.

In blade form, Naviatae can communicate with some mind speech and mental projection, but can not communicate aloud or cast her own spells. Also, though the blade is heavily durable, nicking or wounding it with heavily echanted weapons or holy spells will affect Naviatae as wounds, which show as chips or cracks in the blade. If it is cracked or chipped enough, Naviatae will be forced to revert and flee, or commune such needs to the wielder, at risk of death.
