'''Xesci''' is a [[Drakes|Drake]] [Courtesan] working in [[Salazsar]].

== Appearance ==
Her real appearance was eaten by her class, and she has forgotten what she initially looked like. As such, she has no definite appearance and frequently changes features, faces, and even her species.

== Personality ==
Her personality and behaviour is influenced on the person she is currently taking the form of.<ref name=":8.05 I">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/07/8-05-i/ Chapter 8.05 I]</ref> She tends to take the form of the "plain knitting-Drake" (Belavierr) most of the time. She claims this gives her increased intelligence and ability to scheme at the cost of acting more ruthless and detached.<ref name=":8.44 O">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/09/26/8-44-o/ Chapter 8.44 O]</ref>

== Background ==
She was born in the northern part of [[Izril|Izrir]]. There she would learn how to be a courtesan from Human women, and become part of the [[Sisters of Chell]]’s business, were in exchange for paying some fees they protected her in her courtesan business. She used to work in [[Invrisil]] before [[Magnolia Reinhart|Magnolia]] chased out most of the gang from the city.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/07/12/9-53/ Chapter 9.53]</ref>

She would eventually leave to find her [[Drakes|people]] down south, traveling from city to city, while keeping working as a courtesan as a job. She would travel and stay to all sort of places, like [[Pallass]], [[Zeres]] were she only stayed for a year, until finally stopping to [[Salazsar]] were she consider the best for her courtesan business. There she start working at The Drake's Pearl, until she has earn and saved up enough to retire, and then go settle somewhere back in the north.

At some point in her past she would met and talk with a strange but completely ''ordinary'', plain Drake woman who knits like a ''genius''. After this encounter Xesci would start to change into this plain Drake form for because she was so un-sexual.<ref name=":8.05 I" /> Unbeknown to her that plain Drake woman was in reality a Cloth Drake-Golem manipulated by [[Belavierr]] herself.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/03/14/interlude-the-rower-and-the-bartender/ Interlude – The Rower and the Bartender]</ref>

== Powers and Abilities ==

=== Classes/Levels: ===

* [Courtesan of Reflected Facades] Lv. 50<ref>[[Chapter 9.52]]</ref>
** Derived from [Courtesan of Changes]

=== Skills: ===

* [???] = Allows the User to change their form to someone either the User or the person this Skill is used on to look into, to anyone they had met, even if they are of a different species like Drakes and Gnolls. The form of the person the User change into look exactly like they are remembered down to every line, inch, voice, to even parts they had started to forget, realized in perfect detail. Even to what they remember them wearing like armor, although they probably not as strong as the actual original armor, nor with any enchanted the cloths original had. These cloths disappears if taken off. At first the User can alter their height and become anyone within an inch of their original height, but as the Skill becomes stronger they can alter their height to two feet higher. Once the User change to someone, they will not be able to change to another for a while. The User personality and mannerisms are affected as well, becoming closer to the person the User is currently taking the form of. At Low-Level the User is good at mimicking and acting like them, but at High-Level the User become what that person is good at, like knitting, sex itself, manipulating others, and any other native abilities they have, but not their Skills. This personality mimicking has the side effect of influencing the User personality depending on the personalities of the people have, which could make the User overly timid, or aggressive, or worse. This Skill also allows the User to look into a person to see the faces of all the people this person has, or ever had, sexual interest and desire towards, like the one they in love with, to ones they have ever considered, to even others they themselves had not realized they were attracted to.<ref name=":8.05 I" /> This effect does not work on Dragons.<ref name=":8.44 O" />

== Trivia ==

* She hates the word ‘Exotic’.<ref name=":8.05 I" />
* She like knitting over drinking or smoking.<ref name=":8.05 I" />

== Quotes ==

*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/07/8-05-i/ To] [[Ilvriss Gemscale|Ilvriss]]:
** “I’m sorry, Wall Lord. I didn’t think you’d be too interested in me.”
** “Most people are. There is nothing wrong with it. But Wall Lord…I am sure you don’t want ''me.'' In that, your friend Brilm was the most wrong.”
** “It is not. But I see how I’ve stabbed myself in the leg. Damn. This is why I should watch myself. I’m so conniving when I knit—”
** “Curiosity. How did that [[Belavierr|strange woman]] put it? ‘Curiosity drives my customers to me. The rest is the truth of what I offer.’ I can see where this is going, Wall Lord. Very well. Since there’s no help for it…please don’t be alarmed. Or do. I…am going to show you something that might upset you.”
** “Wall Lord—this is why I am the most requested here. Also, why you don’t want ''me.''”
** “Not for a while. Sorry. Also, not very sorry. You asked. I know the knitting Xesci was manipulating you—or doing it without realizing it even—but you did ''ask.''”
** “I’m sorry for doing this. I like being the [[Belavierr|knitting Drake]] because she’s so…un-sexual. I thought it would help and look what happened. I met her once—she was a strange person. But she knits like a ''genius…''”
** “I think I have to apologize to you, Wall Lord. I…acted in bad faith yesterday. I didn’t realize how manipulative the [[Belavierr|knitting-Drake]] was. She was a creepy bitch. Sorry. It’s the new body.”
** “You mean, would I continue working here? Wall Lord—it’s a job. Sometimes it’s enjoyable, sometimes not. But it’s not a ''passion.'' Especially if you’re the only expert in the room.”
