Editing Exalted:Asamé (section)

=History=
*Fierce, stubborn and prone to enjoying the fruits of idleness, Asamé personifies her totem. Long before she was Exalted by Luna she sought a place higher than her position allowed and taking roles prohibited by her society. Born a minor noble’s daughter she had more than the majority of the population of Inara. She was taught to be polite, courteous, and silent. In reality she wanted nothing more than to ride into battle at the head of a vast army of golden warriors. She clung to her twin brother learning indirectly from his experiences and secretly longing for more. 

She was found out by her mother and father while playing at fighting. She was forbidden from joining her brother in counsel or watching him at his training sessions. She went further underground with her training, sneaking into her brother’s room and forcing him to teach her. Her tomboy nature was apparent at an early age and did not disappear as she grew into a teenager. She was lean and toned even then. Muscle could sometimes be spotted under the dresses she wore to please her mother. This made her into something of an outcast amongst her family and the upper crust of society. Many whispered quietly that she wasn’t marriage material. Her father worried he’d be stuck with a daughter that would bring little to the family. 

Eventually her father found a suitor that would marry her sight unseen and far enough away from Inara that returning her might be too costly. The caravan that was transporting Asamé to be with her new husband was swept up in a blizzard half way to her new home. When the winds and snow settled she found herself alone with her brother lost in a wilderness of crystal and snow and ice completely foreign to any other scene they had ever imagined. It was not long before they realized their predicament, lost in one of the many northern Wylds that pockmarked the North. They struggled to keep their sanity and survive in the alien landscape. After being hunted for what seemed like days or weeks, after having been starved and half dead on thirst, after having struggled toward the unseen barrier that separates madness from reality they saw the shining face of the Lady Luna. Their will to live and continue on for the sake of denying death and the Fae two more souls brought her favor upon them. 

In the Northern Wylds Luna granted them Exaltation and in the process their bodies were forged as one a possibly unforeseen result in the chaos of the Wyld, or maybe not, only Luna knows. Asamé found herself alone in the Wyld with the voice of her brother somewhere in the back of her mind. She felt a resolve to escape the chaotic hell and find her way back. They had weaved their way through the Wyld before the Exaltation, now with her new found strength she pushed straight through destroying any Fae that sought to stop her. It wasn’t long before she found herself back in reality. 

It wasn’t long after that she was discovered by the Sidereal, Silver Crest. Confused by the new existence as one person and definitely alone now that she found herself an Anathema she enjoyed his accepting company. Both felt drawn East where they found her Solar Mate and a group of Exalted and a society that was far more accepting of the Anathema than her own.

It was in Halta that she was first tattooed and made aware of the Silver Pact. She still feels closer to her Sidereal friend than to the Lunar Society. She enjoys her new life protecting the people of Halta and carousing around the city of Chanta. She’s found a freedom unknown to her before and revels in the pleasures that surround her.
