She is around 120 pounds, give or take, and has a slender, not overly curvaceous body. Her notably long legs are nicely toned from years of horseback riding, and her skin is usually lightly tanned from spending time outside. She has an oval shaped face, Greek nose, and beautiful forest green eyes. Her wavy dark brown hair reaches to about mid-back. She prefers wearing her hair up or in a braid. She typically doesn't wear a lot, if any, makeup or jewelry. Being a fairly active person, she dresses in what's more comfortable rather than fashionable. Jeans, a "nicer" top, and boots is her go to outfit. She wears a lot of neutral, earth tones. When away from home, she will try harder on her appearance. Her nicer gowns are green and gold, the colors of her kingdom.

A spirit that seeks to be free from the oppression of living up to others high expectations. She is secretive in the sense that what she lets people see is not truly representative of who she is. It's a façade that covers up the more unruly and ill-mannered side of her. In other words, it covers up the side of her that is not like a princess. She has been taught to not speak out of turn, to be ladylike and diplomatic, and to at least feign interest in trivial matters. She struggles to do so because she is truthfully quite the opposite. She is naturally opinionated, and she would rather hang out with rough housing guys than the fashionable royal women her age. She also would rather have an intellectual conversation than talk about the latest fashion and gossip. She at heart is down-to-earth and doesn't consider herself above others just because she is royalty. In the end, she is fiercely loyal to those she cares about.

With that said, Feora grew up fairly accustomed to diplomacy and militaristic ways, though she was taught more on the former and less on the latter. The truth was that while other little girls dreamed of being a princess, she dreamed of being a soldier. However, such aspirations were against the status quo of a princess. That didn't stop her from watching the soldiers, learning from what she saw, and practicing martial arts in secret. When Feora was 8, her mother Queen Adelaide died from complications during child birth. Unfortunately, the baby didn't survive either. Feora was left to be "raised" by her father King Matthias. He was a busy man, which meant she was watched over and taught by others. What little bonding time she did have with her father was spent horseback riding with him. Sometimes she could convince him into letting her accompany him on hunting trips. When she wasn't being tutored or being taken to meetings and balls, she was usually left to her own devices. Over the years, she constantly felt like she was being scrutinized by someone. It caused her to repress her true feelings and desires when in public. Her true self was a secret that no one realized they were missing out on. Nothing could stifle her desire to be a solider, that need to fight for her kingdom on the battlefield. Ultimately, she didn't hate being a princess per se but hated having to live up to everyone else's expectations. Why couldn't she just be herself? She thought she had a decent relationship with her father. [i]Thought[/i] being the operative word. He betrayed her trust in a way that threatened to shatter her hope for a decent future. He dropped the bombshell that at this year's upcoming Grand Ball she would meet the man she was arranged to marry. The thing is, she had no prior knowledge of this arrangement, and she certainly didn't agree with it! The question now is will she submit to the fate expected of her or rebel against it so she can be who [I]she[/I] wants to be?
