[@Apoalo] So um...is that a yes or a no? If yes, I'm thinking either kid!Bits or kid!Angie. Bits is painfully shy and often frightened. It can be hard to get her to open up or even hang around, so this is only good if Tomcat has the patience to have coaxed her into trusting him, maybe even talking to him a little. Angie is bold, brave, stubborn, and sassy. She'd help willingly, but she'd also talk back. I'm not sure which I'm leaning towards as of this moment. Do you have a preference for the dynamic, since you'd be playing the other half? [@RomanAria] WOO! My first char (most likely gonna make two more) Name: Paige Samira (originally Emily Dilysse) Age: 17 Appearance: She’d tell you her hair is the color and texture of straw, but it’s really more of a wheat-blonde. It’s just to her shoulders, though she always has it pinned up and back, often with some sort of simple hairsticks. She has vivid green eyes and a snub, upturned nose. She prefers nice dresses, but since leaving home with Miry and the others she usually settles for very simple skirts and frocks, or just loose trousers to go with her plain tunics. She’s only 5’3”, though she frequently jokes that she’s at least taller than Miry. Personality: To those she doesn’t know well, Emily comes across as quiet, withdrawn and a bit awkward. To her friends, she’s a sweetie with a generous heart. She’s very critical of herself, including about her looks, and often gets flustered or upset when she makes mistakes. She has trouble seeing her good traits, nor is it easy for her to accept a compliment. She tends to be optimistic, though she doesn’t smile nearly as much, even among friends, since the death of her mother. She can be a bit of a mother hen, fussing over things more than might be necessary. Threaten someone she cares about, particularly Miry, and the shy mouse will turn into a fierce mama bear, defending that person with force if necessary. Otherwise she hates fighting -- and stealing, for that matter. Weapon: Emily was in training to be a Queensguard, so she’s pretty good with a few different weapons. Her preference is for polearms and staves, but she has reasonable skill with knives, and she knows the basics of swords. Her other favored weapons are a bit less standard. The bladed fan is a favorite, and long needles or very thin knives make excellent hair accessories. Other: Her father was a stablehand, and the girl learned to ride young. As a result, she’s very comfortable around horses and can handle them well. She has been good friends with Miry for years, and worked as her maid. Her mother was one of the princess’s maids as well, and the girls first met when they were children. Mother and child both helped the disowned princess make it to freedom, but Emily’s mother was injured in the escape, and died not long after. She has feelings for Winter, but hasn’t said anything to him about it, nor to anyone else. ((Just noticed that technically ladies-in-waiting are also nobles, and Emily is a maid, but....<.< that should be okay, right [@RomanAria]?))
