Her amber eyes are passionate and lively.

Personality: She has a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor. She is not one for noise or eating so much, which is in direct contrast with her big mouthed big gutted partner.

To her fellows she is seen as friendly and intelligent, but is angry and unforgiving to the so called fatcats and any who do and have associated with them.

History: She was born in the west, but her parents moved at a very young age to the south. Through the years after Portia was born, her mother became increasingly distant from her family, instead choosing to pursue power in the west.
