Appearance
Sabine stands at 5 feet, 7 inches, and weighs in at 125lb. She carries herself with an air of loose confidence, which some might interpret as swagger, though there is clear tension in her shoulders when her emotions are heightened. In spite of her swagger, or perhaps because of it, Sabine’s oval face and strong eyebrows often convey a seriousness that may or may not reflect her mood.
Being only half-human, Sabine retained several characteristics from her bijaq father: slightly pointed ears and silver blood that causes her skin to shimmer beneath moonlight. Her eyes, however, remain an ordinary brown and do not shift with the changing skies. Because of this, she is unable to instinctively identify star constellations and sea directions like her full-blooded brethren.
Sabine’s brunette hair falls to her waist, and is often twisted into a miscellany of braids that give her a wildness which doesn't quite suit city life. She also has a spattering of light brown freckles across her nose and cheeks which tend to grow more plentiful when she spends increasing amounts of time in the sun. A small scar sits just above her left eyebrow - the result of being on the wrong end of a fist during a tavern fight.
Her attire preferences remain firmly in the realm of cotton, wool, and fur - though leather is also coveted, if she can get her hands on it. She is drawn to anything that drapes and shapes to her form, and prioritizes clothing she can move in. This results in a bias towards pants over skirts, though that is not to say she doesn’t appreciate the occasional well-made dress.

More than anything else, Sabine feels. She feels the full spectrum of emotion, sometimes all in one day, and throws herself into life with an intensity that rivals a forest fire. She thinks with her heart, and is as quick to love as she is to hate - though these feelings often fluctuate with the tide.
Sabine’s passion lends itself to opinions. Many, many opinions. She has something to say about everyone and everything she meets, without exception. In fact, one of the reasons she took up writing was to get her opinions out into the world and begin a dialogue. As she matures, Sabine is learning to moderate what she shares with the world and is beginning to understand the value of targeting one’s words to an audience - though this is still a rule which, more often than not, she disregards.
(The editors of the world thank her for their employment.)
Sabine is as free with her body as she is with her words. Her laughter, much like her opinions, is loud, and her emotions are easily read on her face. While she doesn't seek out fights, she doesn't shy away from them when they arise and has a soft spot for the underdog.
Although only half-biqaj, Sabine epitomizes her clan name of “Qe’azour”, or Warrior of Fire. She is a spirited and adventurous woman, much like her father. Her boldness is borne of a happy childhood and free-spirited role models. This means, more often than not, that she has a well of courage and confidence to pull on when the going gets rough.
That said, if Sabine had a middle name, it would be "obstinate". Once her emotions settle and she sets her mind on a particular path, she is determined to keep to that decision and damn the consequences. She is fiercely independent, often to her detriment, and has broken more than a few relationships with her stubbornness.
Sabine has also been accused of taking herself too seriously at times, a claim that isn't too far from the truth. She follows her own moral code centered around freedom and liberation, and her self-righteousness has a habit of antagonizing all those who don't align with her beliefs.

History
At age 15, however, her parents moved Sabine and her younger brother to the city of Andaris with the hope of building a more prosperous life. Sabine's father was always searching for an adventure, and he had heard tales of wealthy lands within Rynmere that were filled with coin and nobles and opportunity.
At first, the Qe'azour family was happy in Andaris. Sabine's father opened his own Rharne-style brewery with money borrowed from House Andaris. Sabine, who inherited her father's boldness and spirit for adventure, quickly took to the new city despite being pulled away from friends and kin back in Rharne. She was particularly fascinated by the city's castle. To this day, she remembers thinking of it as one of the most beautiful buildings she had ever seen.
She still retains that fascination, but can no longer see its beauty.
Although Sabine's father was just a dreamer when he moved the Qe'azour family to Andaris, he turned out to be quite good at brewing beer. Unfortunately, he was terrible at managing the business itself. Thanks in part to his biqaj heritage and his Rharne background, he took more pleasure in spending coin and drinking his own beer with friends than in saving money and paying back his benefactors. As the arcs passed, he quietly fell deeper and deeper into debt. Sabine discovered the extent of his debt one cold morning during the 714th arc when the city's knights hauled her father away, despite her own agonized pleas for mercy.
He was sentenced to debt-based slavery for House Andaris.
After her father's enslavement, Sabine grew angry: angry at her father, angry at the Noble Houses, and angry at those who practice or support slavery. She has privately developed very liberal views, believing that all mortals should be freed from (real or perceived) captivity or enslavement.
She has begun to think this also includes freedom from Rynmere's monarchy.
As of Ashan 716, Sabine works at the Rynmere Gazette, and supports her mother and brother in her father's absence. Her mother is slowly fading and stays in bed most days, while her brother does his best to avoid being home. To keep her mind off her now-broken family, Sabine spends much of her time either requesting new work assignments or frequenting The Blacksmith Arms.
