The Wise

The Wise
J'enshi and Nirvana were destined to be The Wise from birth because of the markings on their face. Born to different donors(mere seconds apart but hundred of miles away) they consider each other sisters since they've been around each other since they were born. They've never led a normal life. Their life is always about sacrifice and doing what they can to help with the plight of their home world. Being who they are one of the many things they can do is change their appearance. There's an old R'ouglian expression:

Take in all vistors and befriend all strangers. The Wise walk among us in disguse. To turn your back on a vistor or to make reject friendship is to court dishonoring them.

Meaning that none but The Wise know where they will be at any given time. J'enshi is the most outspoken of the duo. She was very eage to do this interview. As a matter of fact she was the one who made contact and requested they be interviewed.

A tall man walkes into the room and looks around with steely eyes before going back out into the hall and ushering the two girls in. J'enshi waves and Nirvana politely bows her head.

"There will be no interview questions. The Wise wish to just speak to-"
"We have changed our minds Guardian. We will answer the questions," Nirvana said as she motioned with her hand. The paper seemed to float to the two girls and they bent their heads together to answer the questions.

Age: Timeless
Height: Anywhere from 4' to 6'5''
Weight: 45 to 250 lbs
Where were you born: Nirvana was born on the Northern tip of R'ouglia while J'enshi was born near the Southern end. One of the reasons for our different skin tones.
Marital Status: We are the husbands to lonely widows and the wives of broken hearted warriors.
Siblings/Children: All R'ouglians are our brothers and sisters. Our sons and daughters.
Favorite Food: What's it called? Nirvana likes the Big Mac! I enjoy tater tots with alot of the red sauce. What's it called?...Ketchup!
Favorite TV Show: When we have a free moment we like to watch the Saturday morning cartoons. Earth humor can be so silly!
Favorite Singer: When I am troubled Nirvana sings me to sleep. She will deny her singing voice but I enjoy it. Nirvana did indeed deny her voice. My favorite singer is Liara K'atra. She sings what some would consider opera threaded with blues. It brings tears to my eyes.
Most Memorable moment: Finding out who our donors were.
Saddest Moment: Realizing that we were never going to have a normal childhood.
Prized Possession: We don't really keep possessions. Sometimes we have to leave wherever we are at a moments notice.
Hobbies: J'enshi enjoys sewing and I enjoy playing the flute.
Favorite Vacation Spot: The place we created just for us.
If you were granted one wish what would it be? To bring happiness to the downtrodden.

J'enshi
: Sometime its hard for us to be happy. Especially when we see so much sadness. And it's hard to grow close to other people when we never know when we'll have to leave....or what form we'll have to take. Some time we're women, sometimes we're men. We are whatever the person needs us to be. And sometimes I get angry. I get angry because I sometimes just want to be ME...but that's not what I was born for was it?

Nirvana: What my sister said. Also, I would like to see all the R'ouglian races join together instead of fighting amongst themselves about what caused the planet to start destroying itself. We were once a peaceful nations but now...finger pointing turned to armed combat. How can we heal our planet when her soil is drinking the blood of our people? Being The Wise is a lonely path to follow but I was lucky. This is the first time there has been two of us. At least I have a constant companion beside me.

Peace friend. May life, love and laughter brighten your path.
