She hardly says a word in anger, or says much at all, often responding to those she doesnt know with nothing more than a pleasant, disarming smile. She prefers to communicate in hand gestures and subtle changes in her body language, often acting more like a marionette pulled by the strings than a 'proper person'. Her demeanor often disturbing others on their first or second meetings, not helped by her fascination with her dolls and plushies. She is never seen without at least one on her person. She's soften spoken, and often times can be heard to speak the few times she does, often with a lingering lament to her tone, as if always sad or regretful. To those who knew her intimately, namely just her family at this stage, they also know her as this gentle and mostly kind soul. But they also know that deep within her, hidden behind that smiling facade...is a girl that isn't indifferent or cold; she simply lacks the ability to [i]feel[/i] any substantial emotion. Her muted expressions not by choice, but by her inability to understand emotions even if she feels them. But one emotion she does feel? And one they knew burns fiercer than any inferno could hope to match? Love. Specifically, love for her family. An almost obsessive and compulsive love. They are her everything, they are her ideal. She keeps an eye on them keeps an eye on anyone she deems friend or foe to them, never afraid to use magic or her curse to spy on individuals if she feels the need to. If anyone was to bring them harm, she would rain down hellfire. If anyone was to help them, she would endeavor to return the favour tenfold. The only thing that seems to come close to how much she cares about is her dolls, and if you're ever so lucky enough to earn one of her hand-crafted ones, you are considered to be amongst her inner-circle and cherished deeply. Currently, no one outside the family has received one, but she has grown more open to the idea of gifting one if someone can catch her eye... [h2][u][b]Background[/b][/u][/h2] [b]What Kingdom are you from, and what town were you born in?:[/b] Varian, Kolonivka [b]Current occupation:[/b] Seamstress [b]Any past occupations?:[/b] No [b]Relatives:[/b] Mina Blackwood (Cousin), Sebastian Blackwood (Uncle), Deceased parents [b]Skills:[/b] Sewing and knitting, tea-brewing, crafting life-like replica dolls of people [b]History Summary:[/b] Moartă Blackwood has been cursed from birth. Not only did her mother die during childbirth with her, but she also 'died' at least once that day, her survival framed as a miracle from one of the attending doctors. Misfortune has followed her since, following her like a plague. To top it off, she was one of the 'lucky' few Blackwood girls to be born with the curse of mediumship, though hers manifested somewhat...uniquely. She not only sees and talks to spirits, but she seems to befriend them, her link to the spirits very, very strong. They whisper to her, tell her of what others do, what they say. Now, not every spirit is truthful to her. She has learned this over her life, the hard way. Growing up, she was never viewed as 'normal', in fact some have even considered her insane from the outside. The girl rarely spoke to others, even when talked to. Instead, she sometimes seemed to speak to the air. Often times, she would be found deep in trance, snapped out of it by worried servants. She never fit in with anyone her own age, causing her to grow more and more secluded within her family. This all came to a head when she turned ten years old, when the spirits whispered to her of things her father spoke of her to others. She confronted her father, leading to an heated argument she regrets to this day, for once more misfortune befell the family, her father shortly thereafter dying in an accident while travelling. This event seemed to break the poor girl, and if not for her cousin Mina, she might've done something more rash. The girl wasn't much older than her, and she was the only person she could be herself around, the only person who could [i]truly[/i] understand what she was going through. As a result of this bond, she would grow more and more attached to the family as a whole, desperate to prevent more misfortune befalling her family. Now she travels to Caesonia, not only to be by her cousins side, but also in search of allies and friends for the family. And hopefully, someone to share in her burdens with her for the rest of her life.
