[@The Muse] Here's my character [hider=Luella Gugari][color=00aeef][b]Name:[/b][/color] Luella Gugari [color=00aeef][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] Note: Of course, she'll be in period relevant clothing but after an hour it's proved impossible to find XD [hider][img]https://i.imgur.com/OXWwpVv.jpg[/img][/hider] Small rations and much hard work has left Luella rather slim yet ever-so-slightly muscular. She stands and 5'6" and has a rather good posture. Her hazelnut-shell brown littered with marks and scratches from whatever the past few days had surprised her. Her chocolate hair is (annoyingly) thick and curly brown hair messily falls to hair ribs when it's not pulled out of the way in some simple hairstyle (which it commonly is). She has a long scar from her elbow that travels a quarter way down her forearm. [color=00aeef][b]Age:[/b][/color] 23 [color=00aeef][b]Kingdom:[/b][/color] Vespora [color=00aeef][b]God/Goddess:[/b][/color] Apollo [color=00aeef][b]Occupation:[/b][/color] Servant to a noble family [color=00aeef][b]Short Bio:[/b][/color] "We could be so much worse off." The seven words Luella's mother repeated to her all the time, the words she still repeats now. Luella's future was practically sealed for her at birth. Luella is her mother's only child, and a bastard child at that. Despite the scrutiny she received of falling pregnant out of wedlock Claire never considered giving her unplanned daughter up. It was this decision that practically sealed her future for her. Her mother was a servant to one of Vespora's wealthy family, a job that her ancestors had held for 3 generations. A tradition so old Luella really had no choice but to accept. Besides, if she didn't she'd likely wind up homeless. She spent her childhood following her mother and learning her duties until she was old enough to work on her own where she was sent to work for their master's oldest son. The Jones family weren't the worst of people to work under. They fed their servants and barely beat them. In saying that, the aren't the best either. The only fed enough to keep them alive and healthy enough to work but not quite a decent amount, they forced them work long hours and they were vigorously underpaid, the family using the fact they're fed and given a home an excuse. It's dodgy living, true, but finding an alternate job would be harder, it was better then them living in the streets, joining the ventures of the shady characters (although it was common for Luella and her mother to be accused of conspiring or doing shady deeds simply due to their skin colour). Christopher, the then-teenager Luella was assigned to, wasn't particularly 'bad' just distanced. He never raised a fist to her but he never uttered word of greeting to her. He ignored her more than anything, as I it was by magic his room was cleaned and his snacks were served. Sure, he called her some nasty names to his friends but never to her face, their relationship was very professional with little contact as possible, Luella had no problem with this unspoken arrangement. Life as a servant is, honestly, so mundane for the woman. It tends to become the same after years. Mundane, hard and sometimes completely frustrating. Luella found an escape from the mundanity and frustration, music. As long as she was not required for duties and there was no company the allowed to use the otherwise usually abandoned piano in the parlour. She'd learnt to read basic sheet music by watching Christopher's mother play and from there taught herself. She's not a determined one. Music was, and still is, her solace through her hardships and trials. [/hider]
