Red Star Dervish

Red Star Dervish

Red Star Dervish is a character in the Nihao Honey campaign setting, in the Nihao Honey 2 subcampaign. She is played by Christopher Bengtsson, who was "headhunted" by Jerry Skold to join in Belphanior's online sister-campaign. Dervish is a student of Black Crane High.

About the Character

Red Star Dervish is a tough ganger-chick with a heart of gold. She was born and raised in the slums of the Godseye-district in Shen Zhou City where she lived with her ginormous family (14 siblings!). Before long she started running with the Six Phantoms Consortium, an influential street-gang led by the mysterious Blind Fox.

Dervish has rescently (when the campaign started) been assigned by Fox to do recruiting for the Phantoms at the Black Crane High. Red Star has lately interpreted the situation that Fox was trying to protect her from some to her unknown danger by sending her to the Black Crane.

Spirited and openhearted, Dervish knows everyone who is worth knowing in the City. And if she doesn't, she knows someone who knows whoever she doesn't know. Needless to say, she's got a foot in everywhere, and she' knows Shen Zhou like the back of her hand.

Intuitive and curious, Dervish often acts as the face of the Black Crane students, and more than once has she had to mediate between Thrice-Radiant Ping and Iron Seraph. She is often the go-to-girl for angsty teen-age problems as well.

As Jerry once put it, Dervish is the 'Cleric' of the party.

Red Star is always looking for a good time, and she is both carefree, loyal, relaxed and dedicated at the same time.

Tacked on inspirations drawn upon when being written about is Swan from "the Warriors", Haruko from "FLCL". She owes her signature style to Realm from Final Fantasy VI.

Appearance

Template:Dervish3.jpg Part revolutionary freedom-fighter, part rocker, part mod, Dervish always makes sure to dress like pop-culture icon. Dinky Dukes, wifebeaters, converse, high-heels, cravattes, scarfs, leather jackets and leather gloves, army-caps, sunshades.

Dervish has got it all, and whatever she's wearing, she reeks of cool and style.

If she lived in the real world, Andy Warhol would have made her his Muse.

Red Star Dervish has a medium length bronze bell-cut, and a perpetual warm, golden tan. The dark pools of her eyes hint towards a level of insight that is older than her years (even if just a few!)

Kung Fu

Dervish dances like an animal with her expert Drunken Monkey, but she doesn't pack the punch she should although having good knowledge of the Dragon Sabre-style.

Her signature style is all about grafitti trickery and painted illusions, and it is based on Crafts. Dervish´s Signature Style.

Contacts and Informants

Dervish has a comprehensive information net that stretches all over Shen Zhou City. Here are a few specifics with whom she has dealt with during Nihao Honey 2 : The New Challengers.

The Doc, a pervy hacker with too much spare time.

Slum Jackal, a sharp, arrogant, and reclusive bishounen who hangs out on the subways.

The local rocker-band Tony's Crew are on a good standing with Dervish as well.
