Elith Curazo

Elith Curazo was a female Nei antiques dealer and the long-term fiancé of Kieran Sapphire.

Born on Irimor in 109 ABY, Elith was the youngest of three children. Her parents managed an antiques business, but neither of her older siblings had any interest in it; Elith, by contrast, loved history and enjoyed spending much of her free time around her parents' shop. She also had a good head for business, and by the time she finished school she was already doing most of her parents' negotiating.

Elith met Kieran Sapphire in 133 ABY when she was twenty-four and he thirty-one; he had returned to Irimor to visit his family. The two were quite taken with one another, and kept in touch long-distance. They were very involved with their careers, between Kieran's service in the Order of Keltrayu and Elith's frequent trips off Irimor to buy or sell rare antiquities at trade shows or with a select clientele, and though Elith accepted Kieran's proposal of marriage after the Conquest of the Chiss Ascendancy in 137 ABY, both understood it would be a long-term engagement.

Long-term it was; by 156 ABY, the two remained unmarried, though entirely committed to one another. Elith met several of Kieran's fellow Centurions and became friends with Arcantha Syr; Kieran, in turn, was well-liked by Elith's siblings and her nieces and nephews called him "Uncle Kieran". Elith attended Jira Zaffrod's concert at the Samayus Palace of Opera in 153 ABY as Kieran's date. Elith did occasionally ask Kieran to move back to Irimor so they could be together, although she appreciated his commitment to the Order.

Elith's parents retired in the mid-140s ABY, and Elith took over the business in her own right.

Appearance and personality
Elith has a flowing mane of auburn hair which she wore almost to her waist; like all Nei, she also had patches of fur on her arms and legs. She had an athletic figure and yellow-green eyes. Like many Nei, she kept the claws on her toes filed down so she could wear boots, but maintained the claws on her fingers. She most often preferred capri pants with cargo pockets, sleeveless tops, and sandals.

Elith loved learning and history, and always enjoyed discovering the history of an item and its owners. She was a shrewd businesswoman with an ability to keep her excitement about acquisitions off her face, and she consequently excelled at negotiations with customers and sellers. She had an adventurous spirit and relished traveling off Irimor. Like most Nei, she also enjoyed athletics and competitive sports; she took up fencing so she and Kieran had an activity in common.

Elith had little interest in children of her own, though she doted on her nieces and nephews.
