Sampaguita

NOTES

was determined to be taken under Maya's wing to become a courtier and did so, despite her parents' shared horror.

however doesn't care much at all for the bodily pleasures like her mentor, instead focusing more on the massive variety of intellectual topics she can discuss with all kinds of clients and finding that being a courtier is one of the easiest ways she can make such a large network.

besides, she reasoned, the Alcove can amass more information this way can they not?

is well aware of her innocent countenance, (one she trained herself to have, a beneficial tool to use in escaping suspicion during her younger years in which she was more rambunctious. it is one that is further amplified due to being known as the youngest daughter) that can lead to many underestimating her capabilities, which makes it all the more satisfying when she surprises clients with her hidden intelligence that can keep up with the wittiest of discussions.

she doesn't particularly care for power itself - it's moreso the experience of learning she constantly chases.

understands the value of money and the heights one can achieve by having lots of it. another benefit from being a courtier; she can get what she wants without price being an issue.

(more often than not it is for someone else's benefit than hers; she knows there are those less fortunate than she and is more than happy to lend a hand when she can.)

with the lifestyle that she chose to follow, her father insisted she learned how to defend herself, something sampaguita agreed to. was gifted a set of gem-inlaid hair ornaments/pins that doubled as needles when she becomes a courtier of her own standing; they are her most important possessions and refuses to let anyone else (sans her family) touch them.

much to her mentor's consternation, sampaguita looks upon haliya and kalabasa as her role models and aspires to be as graceful as they one day. (maya may be harsh but she knows better than to spite the admirations of a hatchling - one of aman's own, no less.)
