Though she is not truly against the mixing of the two kingdoms she holds her tongue as to why she feels that the kingdoms should remain separate but equal. She fears that the marriage of her sister-in-law Juliana will be the downfall of Slibah in no time what so ever.[/indent] [color=#E3A25F][b]| [u]In Depth Appearance[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Mira is a petite woman standing at five foot and three inches tall, unlike her husband who towers over her as a protector. She is womanly with curves in all the right places and some of the wrong places as well. For giving birth to two healthy children she is looking very well. Mira has peachy tones through out her skin tone and wavy strawberry hair. Her eyes are a hazel brown and often crinkled, a good pairing with her stale smile. Mira prefers to be pampered and enjoys her handmaidens to brush her hair, apply makeups, and different concoctions of beauty alike. She loves fashion and tries to be a trendsetter in the kingdom, admiring her own taste in food, clothing, and other trends alike. These thoughts have transferred on to the ways of her children and she prefers them to be well kept and to have a high opinion of their worth.[/indent] [hr][hr] [color=#E3A25F][b]| [u]Habits[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]- Correcting her children and husband's fidgeting habits. - Clearing her throat when she has something bad to say about someone. - Adjusting her corset before entering a room.[/indent] [color=#E3A25F][b]| [u]Hobbies[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]- Playing the harp. - Horseback riding. - Light gardening.[/indent] [color=#E3A25F][b]| [u]Likes[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]- Collecting items from around the world. - Sitting outside in the courtyard. - Newest fashions and styles. - Spending time with her children. - Large feasts and parties.[/indent] [color=#E3A25F][b]| [u]Dislikes[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]- Men who don't find women capable of anything. - Pointless or petty arguments. - The taste and smell of fish. - Misbehaved children- hers and those not belonging to her. - Unclean people, places, or things.[/indent] [color=#E3A25F][b]| [u]Fears[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]- A war coming out of the current affairs. - Losing her husband's love and loyalty. - Seeing her children live drab and boring lives.[/indent] [hr][hr] [color=#E3A25F][b]| [u]Personality[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][center] [h3]Vain. Quick Witted. Family Oriented. Straight Forward. Generous.[/h3][/center] The opinions of who Mira is perceived as are on total opposites of the likability spectrum. Some may see her for her vanity, her want for perfection and her blunt and often sharp tongued comments. While others may see her for her strength in communication and undying love for her family and close friends. Depending on what mood you catch Mira in- will determine your outcome. The vain, blunt, and striving for perfection side of Mira was brought on to her by a young age. Her mother was very strict and demanded the most excellence from Mira. When she was learning her manners her mother would slap her hands over and over again if she felt like Mira wasn't behaving as she needed to be. Some of Mira's behavior came with the lavish lifestyle she received from being a child and then being a Queen. She feels she deserves a good life and appreciates the lavish and above and beyond care she receives. However, she feels this way about all of her family, friends, and somewhat for the common people. If she could give out her riches to all without losing anything, she might consider it. Communication, loyalty, and family are of the utmost importance to Mira. She believes a woman with a good head on her shoulders is the most powerful thing this world has to offer. She teaches her daughter this constantly and wants her to know that men are not held to a higher power just because of the rules set up by things she can't control. Mira is known for her quick wit and ability to resolve most issues that come across her family in a fair and straight forward way. She is not one to play favorites when it comes to deals, though she can't help but have a bit of bias towards her own family line.[/indent] [color=#E3A25F][b]| [u]Background[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Born into a noble family, Mira has never quite lived through too many hardships. Her father was a close friend to the previous king of Slibah and so when Mira became of age it was no question as to who would be up for the hand to the king's son: Alister. When the two were introduced at a young age, they got along and played together well enough as kids do. They didn't realize at the time how much they would mean to one another as time went on. Two two wed and the kingdom rejoiced. Soon after Mira fell pregnant with their first child, who they lost during some complications during the pregnancy. As misfortune seems to come in pairs, Mira's father fell ill around the same time and passed away shortly after losing her first child. Not giving up Alister and Mira fought through the gossip of the barren Queen of Slibah and produced their oldest son: Jaxton. He was a healthy, happy boy and loved by all that graced his path. Not soon after- as if to rub it in the face of those who doubted her Mira gave birth to a daughter who was just as healthy and happy: Elaisse. Mirabelle took parenting very seriously and gave the children all they could ever desire or wish. She encouraged them to be as open minded as they could be as well as strong and independent as allowed. With her husband by her side, it was clear that the two found family to their entire world. Alister's younger sister Juliana was soon to be married to another kingdom. Mira felt a bit uncomfortable about the arrangement but as long as Juliana was happy and knowing of what she was going into- she gave the woman the benefit of the doubt. Mira had always been fond of Juliana but knew that this arrangement could change their entire relationship in it's entirely. While the wedding is underway, Mira is preparing her own children for their next steps in life. [/indent] [color=#E3A25F][b]| [u]Extra[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]- Had a miscarriage before Jaxton was born. - Mira's favorite color is a peachy orange #E3A25F - My favorite time period is the Cold War.

Only his wife tends to call him "Ali".[/indent] [color=#729674][b]| [u]Age[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Thirty-six[/indent] [color=#729674][b]| [u]Gender[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Male[/indent] [color=#729674][b]| [u]Sexuality[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Pansexual - deep down, he has a preference for men, but he refuses to acknowledge it as the king of a nation.[/indent] [color=#729674][b]| [u]Kingdom[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Slibah[/indent] [color=#729674][b]| [u]Alliance[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]His loyalty is to Slibah but, more importantly, his family.[/indent] [color=#729674][b]| [u]In Depth Appearance[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Alister is a tall man with little substance besides that. He towers at six feet, three inches, but he lacks the body mass to appear intimidating. He has a lean, wiry muscle about him, but it is nothing that would allow him to hold his own in one-on-one combat. In fact, Alister has a slight emaciated look about him. He has a shock of hair, deep brown in color. It is often a tangled mess, giving him a slightly windblown appearance. Alister's beard comes in a vibrant shade of ginger, adding a splash of color between his pale skin and dark hair. His eyes are a light hazel. Alister bears the scars of a man who has led his own men into battle. It has been years since he has seen the front, what with the treaty, but he still bears the marks of his first few campaigns alongside his father. His choice of outfits consists mostly of rich, earthy tones mixed with reds and greens. He often wears rings and pendants that bear the riches that lie beneath Slibah's great mountain, on which his castle stands. [/indent] [hr] [center][img]https://33.media.tumblr.com/3150f7af04bdbc3f6f16d8745e5f4fb3/tumblr_npuod1g1jQ1un9ehlo2_540.gif[/img][/center] [hr] [color=#729674][b]| [u]Habits[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][b]Fidgets|[/b]| The rings on his fingers serve more than to be just decoration. Alister often turns them about on his fingers, toying with them in the midst of conversation. Further, he often toys at the hair of his beard when in deep thought with himself. [b]Humming |[/b]| Often, when by himself, Alister will hum to himself either to pass the time or to fill the silence. He does not often do so when in company, as he is quite aware of the look that such behavior receives.[/indent] [color=#729674][b]| [u]Hobbies[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][b]Art |[/b]| Alister appreciates art in all of its forms, but his preferred means of artistic expression is painting or sketching. His fingers are often stained with charcoal or paint of a myriad of colors. His chambers in the palace serve mostly as his studio - the walls have long since been covered in his canvases and parchments. [b]Music |[/b]| While his counterpart in Abhainn may appreciate the beauty of music, Alister has embraced it. As a boy, he insisted upon learning as many instruments as he could - especially the lute, which he still brings with him on travels. He has a rich, sonorous singing voice that he often uses to accompany songs. [b]Riding |[/b]| Often, to escape the constraints of court, he will leave on day-long rides through the forests of Slibah.[/indent] [color=#729674][b]| [u]Likes[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][b]Horses |[/b]| Al has always had a soft spot for horses, and he is often found spending days with some of his favorite, riding through the forests of Slibah. [b]Family |[/b]| Family is the most important to Alister. His wife, sister, and children mean the world to him, and he would do anything to keep them safe. [b]Rain |[/b]| Alister generally likes large storms, but the rain is his favorite. The sound of the rain is soothing to him. [b]Reading |[/b]| The adventures and exploits of the nation's leaders and heroes are some of his favorite reads. He's a bit of a romantic in that sense with a love for grand things. [b]Wine |[/b]| Alister has a refined taste in wine. He enjoys a goblet or two with each meal, but he has learned how to pace himself and often refrains from drinking too much at once. In his younger years, he did not have so much control over himself.[/indent] [color=#729674][b]| [u]Dislikes[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][b]Shoddy Conditions |[/b]| Despite his often messy and disheveled appearance, Alister despises when things become disorganized or, forbid, dirty and shoddy. He's a bit of a germaphobe in that sense. [b]Ineptness |[/b]| Alister believes everyone has a potential, and it annoys him greatly when he believes people do not live up to those. He loves his children, but he worries that they have not made the most of the resources he has given them throughout their lives. [b]War |[/b]| He is quite eager to have this war over. He has seen the front line, and it is horrific. The sooner it ends, the better. [b]Sweets |[/b]| Alister has never had a sweet tooth, and he often avoids candies and sweet desserts. [b]Crowds |[/b]| Alister understands that he has a duty to his people, and so he puts on a front for the court. In truth, he would much rather keep to himself and his family than spend his days surrounded by the men and women who have deemed themselves important enough to surround him.[/indent] [color=#729674][b]| [u]Fears[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][b]End of His Bloodline |[/b]| Alister's greatest fear is the loss of his family. On another level, perhaps, he greatly fears the end of the current line of Slibah kings, which predates the schism of the two families. His immediate family trumps this grandiose fear - he constantly worries for his wife, sister, and children - especially in this foreign land. [b]Entomophobia |[/b]| Alister has a deep set fear of bugs, especially spiders. This stems from a general dislike of dirty conditions.[/indent] [hr] [center][img]http://38.media.tumblr.com/edb436738526836362f2bc3ea6dc9508/tumblr_npf4kzdmHy1rjjxbmo5_500.gif[/img][/center] [hr] [color=#729674][b]| [u]Personality[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]At least one or two detailed paragraphs describing your characters personality.[/indent] [color=#729674][b]| [u]Background[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Alister is the elder of two children born to King George of Slibah and his queen.

His wavy, black hair is often held up in a bun, fading down into a well-kept beard which does not extend too far from his face. He has a pair of dark grey, almost blackened eyes, and fair white skin. Most of Aedan's body is free of scars, though there is one particularly noticeable one which runs from his forehead down to the side of his right eye, one he received in a particularly close call with a Knight of Abhainn during the war. Living primarily in the Northern parts of Sliabh, Aedan tends to be seen in warm clothes, fur cloaks and thick leathers as opposed to well-made or decorated nobles' dress. Generally, some refer to Aedan as looking solemn or guarded in his expression.[/indent] [color=B3A984][b]| [u]Habits[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][b]Stroking his Beard ||[/b] When deep in thought, Aedan has a habit of running his fingers through his beard, scratching at it or straightening it out as he considers plans or what to do next. [b]Chewing his Gums ||[/b] When frustrated or in any situation of particular irritation or annoyance, Aedan tends to chew on the gums in his cheeks or biting his lips. He does it subconsciously, and it generally takes for Aedan to be immensely irritated for him to do it.[/indent] [color=B3A984][b]| [u]Hobbies[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][b]Reading ||[/b] Though he is a fighter first, Aedan prides himself on being well-educated. Knowing that he is lucky to be so well-educated, he spends a great deal of his free time studying history, tactics and all manner of things. [b]Duelling ||[/b] While he is a general and strategist, Aedan still prides himself on his skill as a swordsman. He often takes the time to personally assist in the training of his men and guards, sparring and duelling with them to help them improve, as well as himself.[/indent] [color=B3A984][b]| [u]Likes[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][b]Honour ||[/b] Aedan has a strong and proud sense of honour, and he respects those who similarly have such a code they follow. [b]Books ||[/b] Learning is one of Aedan's preferred past-times, and so he enjoys books of almost any kind. Though, history in particular is a favoured topic. [b]Ale ||[/b] Like most men, Aedan enjoys ale when it is appropriate, preferring it to wine. [b]Peace ||[/b] Aedan may be a soldier and a warrior, but he professes an intense devotion to the attainment and preservation of peace in all forms. [b]Cold Weather ||[/b] Aedan is mostly used to cold weather, he prefers it as it reminds him often of home, and he believes it breeds strong folk.[/indent] [color=B3A984][b]| [u]Dislikes[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][b]Traitors ||[/b] Loyalty is important to Aedan, and those who abandon their loyalty to the kingdom of Sliabh, whoever they are, are sure to gain Aedan's ire. [b]Arrogance ||[/b] People who claim titles or respect which they have not earned is one of the things Aedan can hardly stand. [b]Noble Expectations ||[/b] The expectation that as a noble, Aedan should be primarily focused on finding a wife and making a lasting family name, is something he detests [b]Southerners ||[/b] Though he's polite enough to keep it to himself, Aedan finds those from the south tend to be fancier, weaker, and generally more irritating than he prefers. [b]Murderers ||[/b] Though he has debated if such a distaste is hypocritical, Aedan finds the taking of one's life which is not for proper reason the most detestable act of all.[/indent] [color=B3A984][b]| [u]Fears[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent][b]Ruling ||[/b] Though it would be an immensely unlikely circumstance, being a lord is already terrible enough for Aedan, who would prefer to live his life on the battlefield, rather than on a throne.[/indent] [color=B3A984][b]| [u]Personality[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Hardened, strong and solemn, Aedan does not fit the category of most noble lords. Strength is one of Aedan's best characteristics, though it is Strength of Heart. An incredibly brave man, Aedan would never back down from any sort of challenge, and fears of death or injury have always been the last thing he'd give thought to. Given his rough beginnings, Aedan has also held a great deal of respect and even love for the common folk beneath him. He takes no pleasure in being considered above others, and does his best to protect the common folk, while making as little a show of his wealth and stature as he is able to. While he is honourable and loyal, earning Aedan's trust is not an easy thing to do. An incredibly reserved and solemn person, Aedan does not make friends easily, and he is rarely even seen with a smile on his face. Considering he is the only one of his family, and many of Aedan's closest friends have died in battle, there is little people know of his history, or even of him aside from rumours, and he endeavours to keep it that way, generally not wishing to risk any sort of affection for others.[/indent] [color=B3A984][b]| [u]Background[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Aedan Merryn was born a commoner, his father a blacksmith and mother a cook in the north of Sliabh. His childhood was as most common boys' was, without much in the way of education, and with its fair degree of troubles. Luckily, work was never hard to come by for his parents, with his father regularly receiving work with the war, and his mother having all sorts of travelers going between the kingdoms to cook for. Aedan's life was changed, however when an Abhainn army took over his home. His father killed in the fighting, Aedan became separated from his mother shortly after, never learning her fate, as he was eventually picked up by a group of Sliabhan soldiers retreating south. Though he was young at the time, Aedan ended up joining with the soldiers, being trained to eventually join the Sliabhan army. As he aged, Aedan's ability and rank in the army grew, and he was eventually knighted for his valour and ability in fighting. Becoming a general of the Sliabhan forces, Aedan spearheaded a major counter-offensive in the North, retaking large areas of territory which had been lost in the war with Abhainn. It was during this counter-offensive that Aedan earned the title of 'The Lion of Slibah', given out of respect for him by some of his enemies, before the name began to spread among his own men as well. Retaking his homeland, Aedan was ordered to hold it by King George III, and given a lordship along with the land while the treaty with Abhainn was being discussed. Though he had never particularly wished to rule, Aedan accepted out of a deep loyalty for the king, and began to rule and lead his armies in the North, defending against the occasional skirmish while the treaty was negotiated. During his lordship, Aedan made a few visits to the capital to speak with the king, becoming a close ally and even confidant for George III. As a skilled general and warrior, Aedan has held a similar relationship with the new king, Alister, and holds a respect for the man - believing him to hold true to George's doctrines. Aedan has had little argument or debate with the new king except on the topic of Julianna's betrothal. While both men share an aversion to the war, Aedan maintains his belief that it would only be a temporary peace. Aedan remains a loyal servant of Sliabh, and for now, a personal guard to the Lady Julianna.[/indent] [color=B3A984][b]| [u]Extra[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]I'd be hard-pressed to decide between anything Medieval or Sci-Fi.[/indent][/hider] Decided to stick with what I know, just adjusted the history slightly considering the new roles, so let me know if all is well!
