Character Background/History/Biography

I'm not sure where I was born. My earliest memory is being a child in dojo living simply, learning the way of Bushido, and being the only girl present. Apparently I was orphaned as an infant and left with a sensei to be raised and protected. He also 'gave' me my birthday as the date of my entrance into the dojo. Protected from what, I've yet to figure out. I grew up living simply, eating only vegetarian, studying hard, and training hardest of all. This is the place that informed my spirituality and ethic.

Everything changed on that day when I was 15 and one of the new monks tried to rape me behind the kitchen. I killed him, cut off his cock and balls, and nailed them to the entrance to the temple. The community forgave me and asked me to repent of the violence. I told them that day that I would not repent, that for me it was an ethical act of justice, and that I felt no remorse at his death. What I did not tell them was how exhilarated I felt at the moment of his death when his hot, sticky blood spread over my throwing star that I used to dismember him. On that day, the sensei and community who raised me from an infant turned their backs on me and ejected & banned me from the only home I'd ever known.

On that day I began to feel fully realized. I knew that I could have told them what they wanted to hear, but the values that overlay the ethical framework of my life wouldn't permit it. I understood then that my life would be one of honesty and transparency with a very simple bias towards an ethic for justice. Of course, ethic like truth is autobiographical and I'm okay with that. I also know that the taking of another's life, though a sacred moment fraught with layers of moral and religious baggage, is one that causes my whole body to flush in excitement and exhilaration.

I honor the fierceness, passion, and sexuality that I've grown into. I often lack subtlety and will be aggressive with my sexuality towards an intended or likely victim. I gender identify as a lesbian but I will also bring a man to a point of orgasm before cutting out his still beating heart so he can see me take it from him. What can I say, makes me wet just thinking about it.

I make money where I can. If you want details you'll have to be willing to risk your life in my friendship. Obviously, suggestion of betrayal is something that I have no tolerance for and each of those I've given my companionship and love to have yet to live up to that ethic.

But I do like to relax and on those days I prefer pot and a decent scotch (johnny walker black label, or blue if a new lover can afford it). I like to spend days in bed with a sensitive and considerate lover... the sign above my bed says ... "Slow Down" ... this is probably the only place I get a little shy and romantic ... I want so much to be connected with someone, that is my deepest hope ... but I've always been disappointed and am always on the lookout for my next disappointment.

I've often worked alone, but in the last few years have enjoyed the training of others in the way of Bushido and in the way of the sword. I suppose I'm channeling my own inner Sensei. If you'd like to improve your close combat skills, I'm usually willing to take on a student or a small group for instruction.

Character Personality Traits, Strengths and Flaws
I consider my demeanor to generally be one of crazy wisdom. I find humor in even the darkest moments, which can be confusing to those with me. In my personal understanding of truth, I’ve always been able to discern a 'bright line' division between good and evil so my values-based ethical decisions are driven by that understanding. If you don't buy into my version of the truth, well then it will probably suck for you. I consider my most admirable trait, my strength, to be the fierceness that I'm never afraid to bring to any place where I perceive an injustice to be present. My weakness is my desire to always trust people first; I should be a cynic but I'm not, and that gets me hurt.

Other General Traits to Consider

So, the nuts and bolts ... I am much stronger than I can appear due to two 2-hour workout sessions a day as my regimen along with a strict diet. I'm a voracious reader, including philosophy and theology. I can either lead or follow, but I do best with a defined role. I have also lived a lot and expect folks to value my opinion when it's offered. Once my loyalty is pledged, that's the end of discussion... until you break loyalty with me, then as they say 'all bets are off'. If you want to break my heart, I'll probably let you but you will already know what the consequences of that action will be.

Love and prayers,
Ivy Welles
