THIS WEEKEND!

      It has been a very busy weekend for your girl. I had a show at Northern Pacific Coffee Co on thursday, which went all right. Yesterday, I had a show for valentines day at Half Pint Pizza Pub, which was amazing! I danced, sang, twirled and jumped off the stage at some point. The thing that I love about music is that it brings people together from tone, to gender, age and people with different lifestyles. 

      While the weekend has been amazing, and is not over yet, I have been fighting through a tough cold. I can honestly say, I am really proud of myself! It definitely has not been easy, hell, its been down right nerve wracking. I think to myself “What if I choke on my mucus? What if I start having a cough attack mid song?!” Its all mental people. I just focused on how I wanted my show to go and thats the way it went and more. 

      Sometimes, its hard to find balance between creating and the business side of music. I went to an ASCAP Expo last summer and was delighted to see Aloe Blacc interviewing Bill Withers. ( These are NOT EXACT words, but very close) Aloe asked, “ What advice can you give people who are trying to make a career out of music?” Bill Withers replied, “There is a difference between music, and music business.” That really hit home for me. Basically, my translation is, it doesn’t matter how spectacular you are. If I’m not making moves on the chess table, I will forever be a pond dreaming about the other side. There is also a lot to be said about where someone is happy in a certain position. Well, if you must know, I’m trying to “check-mate” the music industry.

Much Lo^e,

Sotaria

Sotaria, Body Guard, Honour Class

Sotaria is kinda interesting because she is modeled after my brother's girlfriend but very loosely because I don't get to hang out with her very often. So I've sorta had to make up a characterization that goes well with my brother's character. (I'll be posting Theos later.) She part of the Honour class which made it easy to insert her into the story as a body guard. I don't have many interesting scenes with her yet. Maybe I'll get to do something in the Wild Lands...

More details below.

Sotaria

Class: Honour (Libra/Teal)

Occupation: Personal Guard

Happy and cheerful, she always has a smile and a nice thing to say when she is in a good mood. Thankfully her good moods occur often and are fairly robust. She is slightly naive and tends to believe the best of a person. She is fairly professional but her personality shines through sometimes. She has been trained by some of the  most respected Honour Masters of her time and is fully capable of handling herself in a variety of situations. Her combat usually relies on her epee but she tends to try to resolve things without violence, sometimes getting injured in the process. She is employed by Calleis and is Theos' Liaimore.

Physical Description: She is average height and build with a fair amount of muscle from rigorous training. She has dark long hair usually kept pulled back into a low ponytail. She has pointed ears and sharp teeth. She is kinda pale but tans easily. She is usually on guard and so is often seen in her teal and white uniform. When she is in casual clothes they tend to be practical outfits with the occasional flowing skirt.
