Name: Bodil Beara
Alias: Scullery
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Birthday: July 10th 1995
Home in the Mortal Realm: Ohio, America

Personality:
A scaredy-cat of anything that scurries about in the dark, as well as a lover of bathing and keeping clean, Bodil is a rather quirky character. She is untrusting and often hides her own true thoughts behind smiles and polite formalities. Her streak of independence has two sides. On one side, she has the perseverance and drive to do what needs to be done, being self-sufficient and not needing to depend on other people for the material and physical things in life. On the other hand, she depends on people for emotional support and encouragement. Without much support as she was growing up, she guards her freedoms well and often becomes defensive when she feels there is a threat at them being taken away. But she is not weak. Never weak. Her body may be thin and petite, but she will lie, steal and cheat to survive. Don't let her dollish face and doe-eyed look of sorrow fool you, she is not one to be underestimated.

Yet beneath all that feral-cat defensive attitude lies someone with a tender spot for those who suffer in similar way to her. Bodil is rather intuitive and observant of other people, especially when she sees them in herself. Her soft-spoken whispers of sincerity are more often spent in comforting those worse off than she is. For there is always someone who has it worse, is there not? She loves the beauty that even the harshest land try to hide, and she really enjoys reading detailed and decorative, even fanciful novels. Rather poetic in her small naive moments, she hides gentle tenderness behind her walled armor of biting thorns.

A complex, fragile, unpredictable and temperamental creature, Bodil needs constant support and encouragement, more then most others, and needs to be needed. Even when all needs are satisfied, she can still be irritable and cranky. She just has an uneasy, delicate temperament. Her contradictory nature of gives her temperament the wild mood swings and possible temper tantrums of a child at times. Easily offended, she will sulk and wallow in self pity for a long time when her pride gets hurt. But once Bodil resolves her shyness or insecurity, her powerful character will shine though, and once that happens there is practically nothing she can't do. She has an incredible perseverance and will stand up for what she believes in. Even if her adversaries are stronger, smarter and more powerful than her.

Height: 5'3"
Weight: 121 lb
Eye Color: Dark faded green
Hair Color & Style: Deep dark brown, cut into a short bob with bangs.
Build: A pear shaped body that has little meat on it, she is a sparrow-light looking thing.
Skin Tone: Creamy white and very pale
Style: In the modern word she favored light airy colors, mostly pastels. She enjoyed her dollish gentle style, but in the world of the Fae she dresses more in earthy colors. Not able to afford the pale colors she likes, she instead must resign herself to un-dyed cloth, woven clothes and sometimes even hides. Being thin she tries to dress warmly, often layering her clothes. She doesn't wear much jewelry, just a locket on a leather stripe since the chain broke, which she hides under her chemise. More often than not she wear boots to protect her tender feet and wraps cloth around her arms and legs to either keep warm or protect her skin from harsh sunlight.

Other: Her ears are pierced, but she hardly every wears earrings. Her hands are callused and she has small burns on them from cooking. Her knees are discolored from getting scabbed up too often from washing floors. She has a single tattoo in the middle of her back of a moon and two stars on either sides of its full figure.

Skilled: She is very fast and agile, and really enjoys running since she can travel fast and run for long distances. With all that endurance and lean stamina, it all makes her a skilled swimmer as well. Well versed in cooking, she took a class in maintaining organic gardens and loves learning about edible plants.

General: Not very strong, she is actually much better at trapping and sneak attacks on her prey. Although she is a bit of scaredy-cat, she can usually hide her discomfort behind a smile which actually make her a pretty good actor. Rather observant, she sometimes picks up on useful information and learns a bit faster than the average human.

Unable: Lifting heavy armor or weapons? Bodil is not the girl you are looking for. Strength just isn't her strong suit. Need someone to check out that creepy old hut in the swamp? You better at least send someone tough with her, because she will be shaking in her boots behind her plastered grin. This girl jumps at the scurrying of mice and beetles.

Who were you:
Bodil comes from a Mennonite familial background, but she broke away from it at the age of sixteen. While she learned a good deal about how to be independent, she didn't agree with a lot of the harsh religious teachings. With a love for reading and learning, as well as cooking, she found a boarding home with a woman who was formerly Amish. Her landlady was able to help connect her with the modern world by not only teaching her many of the lessons she missed out on in school, but also how to survive in the technological-dependent world around her. Working in kitchen and finally building her way up to her first college night classes, Bodil felt like her life was finally on the right track.

Then her elder brother and father found her. They constantly got in the way at her work and hounded her when she was trying to go to class. They even followed her to her boarding house and harassed her landlady to try to get to her. Not knowing why the elder men in her family were so desperate for her to return after she should have been shunned, Bodil made a wish. A terrible, awful, selfish wish...

Family:
Mary Beara (mother)
Judas Beara (father)
Bartholomew Beara (brother)
Beatrice Beara (sister)
Benjamin Beara (brother)

How did you fall into Fae hands:
...Bodil's wish was that her brother and father would just leave her alone forever. Hearing such a wish by chance, one of the Faefolk slipped through her window, the New Moon shedding no light on the darkness this particular creature held. As beautiful as one of the angels she had dreamt about as a child, Bodil pleaded to the ethereal creature. All she wanted was to live her life peacefully cooking and gardening. So the Fae smiled down at her and granted her wish. The Fae stole her away from the mortal modern world to live and work doing just what she had always said she wanted to do: cook and garden. Cruelly twisting the wish, to the Fae's own delight, this made Bodil little more than an indentured-servant, working as a scullery maid till she repaid the heavy price her wish had cost her.

Court/Faction: (Leave blank)
What do you plan to do about your situation: Bodil is very good at running and very good at lying, so of course she plans on escaping her current situation. And she will do it the good ole fashion way: sneak out after forming a solid plan.

Possessions:
Fur and hide boots, cloth and hide clothing, a locket pendant on a leather strip around her neck, a patched and worn fur and hide cloak
