Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shamira's apartment is a smaller one since she's the only one living there. When you enter the door you enter a large open room, in the far away corner is a kitchen area, and on the opposite wall from it is two doors, one leading to a bathroom, the other to her bedroom. The whole apartment has dark hardwood floors, and white walls. Lucky for Shamira her apartment layout lets her have more windows, which thick frames are the same color as the hardwood flooring. On the wall behind the kitchen, and in her room, she has a total of four windows in her apartment. Two in her bedroom, three in the main room, one of which is stained glass.

The main room has two main sections, with a bit of open space for the rest. Once you walk through the front door, next to it and the wall is a coat tree. This usually has a few coats of Shamira's on it. Once you walk in a few feet in front of you is a dark, round, wooden table. It has a leaf to make it larger when, and if, the need arises. Around the table is two matching chairs. Both soild and a darker wood to match the table. This table is where Shamira makes her potions at home, and where she eats occasionally. A few feet away is an old grandfather clock.

In front of the kitchen area is a library-like area. The walls of the corner is filled with five bookcases, four filled with books, the fifth with ingredients. Next to the fifth is a locked cabinet, inside of the cabinet is where Shamira stores her treasures. These treasures are a variety of things, things of sentimental value, money value, rarity, and other factors. She keeps the key to it in a special place that no one would be able to steal it from (or at least that's what the spell said). Two of the bookcases are filled with spell books, one is filled with potion books, and the last with miscellaneous books and a few knick-knacks. The area of flooring in front of these bookshelves is covered in a dark Gothic styled rug. It was her mother's. On this rug is two pieces of furniture. An old fashioned armchair, with the taller back and rounded carvings, the Victorian style. It has a design that's colors match the rug and dark wooden bookcases. Next to the chair is a small side table, this is where she places whatever she nibbling on or drinking while she reads. All of these thinks are currently covered in sheets and dust.

The walls of the room, except in the small kitchen area, has a few framed pictures and drawings. There are a few pictures of her and Members of the other village, and one of her when she was a young girl and her mother. She has a few framed paintings and drawings of scenery also. In an attempt to add more color to the room Shamira has rugs throughout the room that have darker colors to match her mother's rug and the scenery pictures. One of the windows in the room is stained glass, its not the one next to the kitchen, but is close to the dining area. It depicts different alchemy and potion making symbols and concepts. Its beautiful, and brillent in the sunlight. It was a gift from a friend before she moved to sactum.

The kitchen area is smaller, a sink, a refrigerator and freezer combination, an oven, and a bit of extra counter top with cabinets underneath. She has cabinets over the oven, sink, and extra counter space. Under a small section of the extra counter space there is no cabinet, and there there is a stool. This is where Shamira usually eats. The floors of this section is not hardwood, but tile. Hanging above the extra counter space is pots and pans.

The bathroom is normal, toilet, shower, sink, mirror, etc. The basic nesseities.

Shamira's bedroom is a bit smaller than most bedrooms. It has a twin sized bed in a corner of the room, elegantly designed with engravings. The head of it under a window. Next to the foot of the bed, is a lower, wide, dark wooden dresser. It has all of her clothes in it, along with a few miscellaneous things on top. Against the other wall, next to the door, is a narrow and tall bookshelf full of a variety of books. On the other side of the bookshelf is a small desk where Shamira usually rights notes and makes calculations. The window above the lower dresser floods in and usually lets her work in natural light.

Shamira woke up early afternoon grumpy. She yawned as she got out of bed, gathered a handful of clothes and took a shower. She walked out of her bedroom hair yet, dressed in a black tank top, dark blue boot cut jeans, a black jacket, and soaking wet hair. Grumbling she walked to the kitchen and made a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of coffee. She ate her meager breakfast, and took the mug back to her room. She put on a silver cross necklace, a newsboy cap, socks, and black leather boots. She took a large gulp of coffee then walked out of her room and melted into her library chair.

Shamira was in such a bad mood because she couldn't go to work today, she had already missed so much of the day, and why? Because of stupid weather. She sneezed, which lead to more grumbles. She mumbled a spell and instantly her shirt, which had become wet because of her long hair, and her hair were dry. Shamira sat there, enjoying her solitude, and sipping coffee, until the coffee was done. Then with a sigh Shamira went into the kitchen and washed her dishes, then decided to find something else to do.

Opening her door, and looking back at it, Shamira found a flier for a competition. Shamira's eye brows rose as she read it, and a smile spread across her lips. "Well, I know what I'm doing." she said quietly then headed for the weaponry
