She is considered pretty and has long blond wavy hair. What makes her appearance so distinctive is that she has one sapphire blue and and one emerald green eye.

She thinks of the royal family as if they were equal to the peasants in the way that they deserve not to lose everything and should be treated kindly even though they are mentally addled.[/color] [i]History: [/i][color=bc8dbf]Having the same parents as Fenros she was brought up basically the same way. Hard work and to be caring about all people equally. She and her brother just have differing viewpoints on what that means exactly. While her brother went to work in the vanguard, she went to work in the castle serving the royal family. Eventually she became a ladies maid and has access to the royal family at almost any time. Their mother kept her busy learning all of the things a young nobble girl should know in hopes of a good match for her. Ayla is enjoying her time in the castle. She has grown up there so it is her home and she considers the royals members of their family. She could no more hurt one of them than she could hurt her own parents. Ayla is all heart and light most of the time but she has a temper and a stubborn streak a mile wide. She would often disagree with her brother over silly things as children but he always made sure she was safe no matter what. This was the first time they had disagreed over something so large and she was digging her heels in. Ayla is insecure about her eyes. She is teased as a child and some of the local women called her a witch because of her two different colored eyes. She tends to keep her eyes down around new people.[/color] [i]Strengths:[/i] [color=bc8dbf]Loyal, Compassionate, and Observant. She is proficient with a bow and arrows. Knows all the ins and outs of the castle including all of the hidden passages.[/color] [i]Weakness:[/i] [color=bc8dbf]Stubborn to a fault, can not fight at all. Her insecurities about her different eyes.[/color] [i]What is the most important thing to know about your character?[/i] [color=bc8dbf]Ayla is all heart and really thinks she is doing the right thing. She thinks rising up against the royals is reverse discrimination and that it is wrong. [/color] [i]What is your character's greatest flaw?[/i] [color=bc8dbf]She is torn between her heart and her what she believes to be true.[/color] [i]Why should your character be in a position to influence an entire country?[/i] [color=bc8dbf]She thinks she has the might of right on her side. She is willing to defend the royals with her life. [/color] [hider=Writing sample] Ayla drew back her arrow and let it fly. She watched as it hit the target better this time. It wasn't quite in the bulls eye but it was close. She laughed as one of the other girls missed the entire board. [color=bc8dbf]"Keep practicing Beth you will get better."[/color] Beth put the bow down and was looking at her cut fingers. [color=f7941d]"No, it hurts my hands I don't think I want to learn it anymore."[/color] Ayla walked over to the young girl and looked at her hands and frowned. [color=bc8dbf]"It looks as if your skin is too delicate for shooting arrows. You will need to practice a lot for the sore areas to callous over." [/color]Beth looked like she might cry. Seeing her pain at the thought Ayla smiled. [color=bc8dbf]"How about we try you on something else?"[/color] ----------- Ayla ran to the nearest window and started shooting arrows with her bow. She was frightened and at the same time she was full of adrenaline so she was more focused than she thought she would be. She hit most of her targets. Ayla heard something right behind her and as she turned she was hit in the face. Ayla saw stars as her head bounced off of the wall behind her. Within a moment she found herself picked up and tossed over someone's back. [/hider] [@Onestorytomany][@Aerandir] [/hider]
