Her drive to survive is stronger than most, since she's been strictly taught the value of life ever since she was young. Still, she will rarely turn down an opportunity to help another, especially where it involves little risk to herself. She's focused, calm and reliable, traits that have made her an invaluable aide to her village's only herbalist. [b]History:[/b] The only family young Annabel has ever known is the elderly woman who raised her, known only as Grandma Cecil. She spent most of her youngest years running to and fro, helping the villagers of Mayford with any sort of errands they needed, occasionally being rewarded with bread or coin where appropriate. Even though she was an orphan, and one without much wealth at that, she still enjoyed her village life greatly. During the days, she did errands and learned the workings of the village, even occasionally accompanying Grandma Cecil into the nearby woods and meadows to gather herbs. When the evenings came, Grandma taught her letters, the differences between herbs, how to bandage cuts, and all sorts of other things that would make her a great little helper in due time. Her time came when she reached late into her eleventh year, when Grandma Cecil became ill with some sort of flu. Young Annabel kept by Cecil's side day and night, treating her in the ways she had been taught and doing the best she could to help her stay in a stable condition. Grandma recovered quickly for her old years, perhaps because of the child's diligent care. After that, Annabel became much more involved with Cecil's work as a herbalist, to the point of essentially becoming her assistant. Despite the increased responsibility, Annabel was delighted to be finally be allowed to help, and lived through the following years as happily as she ever could... [hider=Note][i]This is a rather skeletal, but finished CS. I wrote this at like, four in the morning, so I won't be surprised if you want me to expand upon it. Since this is mostly a character roleplay, from what I've seen, I didn't feel the need to go super in depth about things. Needless to say, I've fleshed out more than this, it's just mostly in my head for now. Oh, and you can click her appearance for a larger version. How convenient.[/i][/hider]
