History:
Born and raised among her mother and many sisters in one of the numerous wetlands along the coast of the Baltic sea Shallah had and sought out little contact with the wizarding world. Occasionally a wizard or witch would head into there lands, either seeking to learn from the Veela or looking for rare wand materials. On a rare occasion ships would run up on the rocks of the shore and the Veela would be inclined to assist. Rather than a love for the human travelers Shallah found herself fascinated by their magic and their technology. She took to seeking out the travelers who wandered lost through the wetlands and conversing with them in brief spats. Rather than scorning or deploring her action her actions were met with amusement from her fellow Veela.
At the age of 110 she traveled to the Quidditch World Cup to act within the Veela cheering squad for the Bulgarian team. She found the quidditch rather droll and difficult to understand but the crowds thrilled her in a way that the drab swamp never had. When her sisters prepared to depart and return to the marshes, Shallah declined. Opting to instead remain in the greater wizarding community. She traveled first to smaller villages and then, as she became more versed in the Wizarding world, moving onto the large metropolis. She trained herself in muggle and wizarding weaponry alike, finding the bow to her liking, and highly amused at wizarding attempts to refine something as ethereal as magic.
Having explored several avenues of the human condition which had been familiar to her before leaving home, she decided to explore combat. She made herself available to various small land disputes in a mercenary compacity, and soon found herself acting as a personal escort and body guard. From the relative safety of France and then Ireland she heard of both comings of the one the Wizards called Lord Voldermort. Upon his second defeat she traveled to London and participated in the innumerable festivities. She remained in London for longer than she had in any other city, exploring the sites and familiarizing herself with the Wizards of Britain.
It was during this time in London when she met her partner. He was a small time smuggler looking for a partner to assist him in transporting supplies to fuel the Irish Blood Revolution. He was young and inexperienced. He asked for 30% payment when he should have asked for 50%, he approached her with no fear or lust but instead with a cockiness that she had not seen in a human his age.
Amused, she agreed. There partnership lasted through the worst of the Revolution but better prospects eventually drew the two away from the emerald isle. Now there are whispers and stirrings of an impeding collapse in England. Such an event could prove profitable but her partner was reluctant to return to his homeland. As it was Shallah could not allow such an opportunity to go unexplored and so she volunteered to travel to London first, scout out the situation and then report her findings back to (). She arrives in England alone with few friendly contacts to speak of.
Personality:
Quiet and to the point Shallah finds the most pleasure in observing and attempting to make sense of the humans around her. Many observe her as humorless and stern but neither is actually true, she just hasn't learned to make use of normal human emotions and reactions. Where business is concerned Shallah is, stern, to the point and intolerant of nonsense; negotiation was one of the first human customs she familiarized herself with. Outside of her work she is an eternal student and is amused most by wizarding understandings of magic and muggle technology.
Appearance :
Tall with elongated limbs, neck, torso and fingers she looks like a typical Veela. Long blonde hair and dark blue eyes, though they tend to change color depending on her mood. When angered or threatened, like all Veela, she transforms into a harpy like creature complete with beak and talons. She finds these outbursts unsavory and unattractive and does her very best to avoid them. Exotically beautiful like all Veela but she is more bemused by the interest of non Veela than receptive.
