Syllesta Ashar
Female fire Genasi former adventurer and former bartender at The Lower Deck. Twenty-seven years old, she is athletic and attractive, with hair of actual fire. She is also friendly, hardworking, and was good with customers, loving to hear their stories, especially when it brought business into the bar.
Ashar is the only child of Zagrib, a blacksmith, and Diya, a weaver, both unfortunately dying when she was young, leaving Syllesta to be raised by aunts. She showed little interest in education or trades, eventually falling into her bartending position because she had nothing else to do. Therein she thrived, her looks and charisma being credited for turning around the fortunes of the failing bar. She also has an excellent singing voice and taught herself the lute.
Ashar is one of the very few fire Genasi whose hair is actually fire. She is careful to not burn things or people with it, and is capable of turning it of, appearing bald. She does NOT allow herself to be seen in public like this.
Ashar is 5'7, 150 lbs., with burnt umber skin, flame hair, and light blue eyes. On the job she wore a low-cut tunic and slacks, deep brown, with wood and leather sandals. If customers got rowdy, she's was known to threaten to whip her hair at them.
After Father Goat and his cult were defeated by The Legion of Llandos and the bar closed, Syllesta, now a bard, decided to go adventuring with a group of friends who had invited her to do so.
After adventuring for a couple years, Ashar settled down back in Sablos. At one point she had a tempestuous relationship with Jowenys Ofandrus. Nowadays she makes her living as a musician.
