Obviously, the other nobles don't show their contempt or jealousy infront of the royal family. That would cause them to lose face and be less highly regarded. They only show and do these things behind the backs of those who are actually friendly with the Chiffons, and sometimes even then slipping up. Solia wouldn't likely know anything about this because:
1) When Mystere visisted, the two of them aways played alone - no other children were involved or present.
2) Mystere would never actually bother to tell Solia about these matters.
3) Considering the Chiffon-family doesn't visit the Capital province, where the royal family lives, particularly often, these rumors are mostly spread through the other provinces and castles. Even the King and Qyueen, who were somewhat aware of this fact, didn't have a full grasp on just how widespread and severe this dislike for their friends were.
See-through skirt, cleavage, open back, butt-cleavage... And fox-ears. She's got it all~

And here it is, after much waiting and re-working, the sheet of my character.

Personality: To the masses, Mystere is known as a happy, spirited, good-natured and overall fun person. She is a noblewoman who easily connects and reaches out to the common man, dealing with her people in a fair and likeable fashion. Her passionate and warm personality also makes her very popular, and her willingness to help and care for her subjects has earned her both much respect and admiration, if not outright love. Her willingness to play with local children of rural villages, ease taxes, swfitly and aggressively responding to threats and her close friendship with the royal family also makes her a target of jealousy, and in cases, loathing among other nobles however.
In particular, other noble families find her haughty, exuberent, unladylike and having a large number of other flaws, which range from small to grand in scale. Some truth should be agreed upon though, as Mystere can be both quite high-handed, stubborn and proud - not to mention she is self-indulgeent, hedonistic and her choice of revealing attire is perhaps not quite what a prim and proper lady should wear. Her penchant for flirtatious, physical contact with people she finds enticing also gives rise for some to call her a wily strumpet, though Mystere vehemently protests that she's just a great admirer of beauty. Among her other flaws, the Countess of Rolante is a perfectionist, and seeks to accomplish anything and everything with absolute flawlessness - be it fighting, training, debating, dancing, cooking or even just writing a letter, Mystere contineously pushes herself to always perform brilliantly, and if she falls short of her own expectations, she will not be pleased with the results, regardless of whetever they're actually good or bad.
Another part of Mystere's persona is that she hates losing - ferociously so. Known to actually play seriously and with all her might, even against young children, the Countess is a merciless competetitor who always strives for victory. However, if she does suffer a defeat, she never seems to blame others - rather, if she, or her side, fails to achieve victory, she will reflect and sorely blame herself for having come up short. or otherwise been found wanting Despite all this thouggh, Mystere is typically a very friendly and upbeat person, loud and boisterous, lover of good foods, good drinks and good times! She loves luxurious baths and living in extravagance, with all the finer things life has to offer.
A skilled and seasoned administrator, as well as an accomplished and decorated warrior, Mystere governs her province well. Despite her often flamboyant and excessive behavior, she is both wise and knowledgeable for her age - knowing when and what is appropriate for the time. She has a remarkable amount of tact in situations that demand it, and she is both kind and open-minded. Honesty and loyalty are things she values highly, and she has a special place in her heart for gallant acts of bravery. She also has a flair for theatrics and loves drama in all its forms, be they entrances, exits, revelations, proclamations or otherwise - flashy, showy and pompous displays are all things that she approves, most earnestly, of.
Towards friends and trusted companions, the young Countess is very loyal and friendly, happily enjoying her time with them. Her tendency towards physical playfulness typically shows up at least once during every meeting with a friend, though she has the good grace and conduct to do this when not in too much of the public's eye, unless she's feeling up to embarrassing or flustering her dear friend. She is loyal and steadfast, but also not afraid to confront or speak her mind if she thinks someone, even if they're close to her, are about to - are doing - something she feels is wrong or bad.
As a closing remark, Mystere is well aware that she is attractive, but also that she's quite short. The latter of these two statements causes her some grief, and she is somewhat envious of her friend, Knight-Commander Anisette, who is considerably taller than she herself. She will take great offense at remarks about her petite stature.
Background: Mystere is the eldest daughter of the old, noble family of Chiffon. She was born five years before her younger sister, Melodine, and her mother passed away some months after giving birth to the younger daughter - due to illness frfom which she never recovered. Thus, her grief-stricken father was left to take care of two daughters, as well as manage his province and castle all on his own - still, a strong and resourceful man, he managed well enough. Of course, much of the childrens' upbringing and time was spent and tended to by servants, and their father only really had time for them when it was time to study or come along on official business.
Being a part of the Chiffon-family, Mystere quickly learned what it meant to be shunned - especially by other noble-families. Jealous or spiteful of her family's close friendship with the royalty, her peers were told to not get involved with her and made to believe wicked rumors and lies about she and those of her family. Because this led to a situation where she had no friends among the nobility, Mystere instead took to playing with the children of lower-standing classes, people who weren't involved with the intrigues and politics of court. These dirty, poor and simple folk quickly grew on Mystere, and her time spent on them as a child laid the foundation for both her love of them, and her popularity amongst them.
As she grew older however, the time for play and fun diminished and she was expected more and more to take lessons, classes and lean a great deal of things. She was the heir to the family name after all, and as such she had many expectations resting upon her shoulders. Even at her yyoung age, Mystere understood the importacce or responsability and privelege, but couldn't help to long for the days where she was free to do as she pleased and just gorge and indulge in what she wanted. When she turned ten, such an opportunity presented itself! For while on a visit to the Graelian Officer's Academy, a private boarding schoool that trained and educated young knights and nobles tin the art of battle and tactics, Mystere saw a chance - a chance to get away from her father's, well-inteded but nontheless restrictive and boring, tutors and lessons.
Convincing her father that she wanted to study and learn about battle, so that she could defend the people and province once she came of age, the man could do little but accept her proposal. However, with her reputation for associating with commoners, her last name being Chiffon and the fact that she didn't exactly act or behave in a manner suited for a young lady, just like before the young Countess-to-be ended up not having many - or even any - friends at the institute.
True, while she still left the school to go visit the royal family in the capital every once in a while, where she would talk and play with the sthen still-young crown princess, her timne at the academy was less interesting and less fun than she had imagined. This, however, changed when she one day - during a sparring session - was paired to spar with one of the pcrincess' cousins, a girl named Anisette. She was a tall lass, even back then, and unlike the other noblemen and noblewomen of the academy, she didn't have any prejudice against Mystere's family... However, having grown into a young woman herself, with quite an appealing figure, Mystere had a tendency to dress both provactively and flashy, causing many of her peers to view her as a stumpet and unfit to be called a noble. This did not sit well with the young Anisette, who viewed Mystere to have a lack of discipline, morals and modesty. On the other hand, myster viewed Anisette to be too uptight, rigid and serious.
They would spar often after that, and with Mystere's penchant for competetition, these practice-matches were fierce and exhausting. At one point, it looked as if the two would eventually bring the entire school down with their progressively intensifying battles, but then, something happened. A common-ground was found. For on her birthday, Mystere was visited by a large group of commoners from her province, who brought her .gifts and presents, of fairly cheap or home-made varieties, when nobody else did. As thanks, Mystere played with the young children and talked to the adults, entertaining each and everyone of her guests. As luck would have it, a certain cousin of the royal princess happened to pass by, and witness this event, on that day - and with her own liking of the smallfolk, a common ground was finally found.
Following this, the two had a talk - initiated by Anisette - and wouldn't you know it? They soon found that they had many things in common and shared a great deal of interests. Slowly but surely, a friendship blossomed, and the Countess of Rolante finally gained her first, noble-family friend - even if she was a cousin of the royal family... Still, it was a good thing. Until a few years later, when her father passed away after a particularly unfortunate encounter with some wild monsters in the low-frala wilderness of their province. He had not fallen in battle, but rather taken too many a grievous wounds to be able to recover. Upon receiving these news, Mystere left the Academy and returned to her castle, forced to pick up the mantle as well as comfort her depressed and grieving sister. To do this though, Mystere herself was never allowed to cry or mourn her father, as she had to stay strong and keep an air of confidence and command about her.
With the province now relying on her and a plethora of new duties falling into her lap as the new lady of the province, her visits to the royal capital dropped significantly, until they almost became non-existent. The year prior to Sfogliatine's parents dyng, Mystere obnly visited twice in the entire year, and she hasn't been corresponding much through letters either. Not even her close friend, Anisette, has heard much from her over the past months.And as is the custom wit the Chiffons, their behavior has raised many rumors and gossip among the other lords and ladies of noble blood.
--- Powers and Abilities ---
Position: Countess of Rolante-province (Lady of Bastille Castle)
Affinity: Magic (no element)
Physical Fitness: Very High
Magic Potential: High
Weapon Specialization: Longsword
--- Special Attacks: ---
Name: Shimmering Sky Barrage.
Type: Medium-short ranged beam attack.
Desc: Mystere begins chanting this attack and then leaps several feet into the air, aiming her sword diagonally downwards at any cluster of enemies (or single targets) a short distance away from herself. Upon finishing the recitation of the attack's name, her sword glows with radiant, glittering energy and a beam of similar appearance is fired down onto the ground. Upon impact, the attack causes a magical explosion which has a medium area of effect - being able to take out an entire company of stationary targets in just one blast. The attack is largely useless against aerial enemies, as the attack relies on impacting with a solid surface - such as the ground - in order to cause the resulting explosion, and hitting a single target with pin-point precision is considerbly harder than hitting the ground.

Posting, obviously, you ninny :P
Skink, you're up. Hop to it. ;<
On other notes, I am very pleased with all of the posts so far, and just wanted to tell everyone that you've all done great so far. Keep it up, very enjoyable posts so far. :3
Alam so smooth with the ladies, a true Casanova of eloquency.
On a different note, you should all be privvy to my own character's sheet soon. Just doing some final thingies with it.
On a different-different note, I'd urge Zombehs, Skink and Sky to try and collab your current posts - so as to hurry your conversation and dialogue along, as to not spend too much time on the island and leave people like Neko, Koma, Fey and me hanging (since we're all pretty split-up at the moment).
Gonna hafta throw some random schtuff to the other guize while we wait for you to get to the War-game battlefield.

I'm implying that a bo staff likely couldn't break through plate armor - it might hurt the person inside, but it can't break the armor itself.
Since most of the gymnastics and athletics-parts of the battles have been removed, I don't really see a point in having the touch-feature. You likely won't be letting go of your weapon in the middle of battle and against anything but mooks, this would be fairly risky and unreliable to attempt. At least this is true if the touched person is wearing armor - I don't mind it happening if they're just wearing clothes though, 'cuz clothes are made out of paper. :P
EDIT:
So, to clarify:
You can touch mooks' heads and backs and get points for it.
You cannot touch commanders' and captains' who still have their armor on. IF they do not have their armor, you can touch them and shred their clothes - and get great service and extra points.
EDIT 2:
Of course, if you guys WANT to be able to do the touch-thing, by all means, lemme know and I'll just roll with it. I just half-omitted it because these war-games are more war-like than the gymnastics-games of Dog Days.

Is Solia prone to hyper-ventilating? xD
Also Skink, I believe I've told you this, but armor in Fralanthe works differently from armor in Dog Days. Armor is not just destroyed by being touched, you actually have to pierce or break it in order for it to disappear. This means that, something like Cinque's staff in Dog Days, would be more or less useless on its own, and only by using Crest Cannons would he have been able to defeat enemies - if he was in this setting.
Or to put it basically; Weapons that aren't weapons meant for battle/war aren't of much use here.

Yes, sky, you cam still change your Jian to something else. :p
@Fey:
Again, the age-thing wasn't really an issue, it was just me being nitpicky and confused.
The problem with the position still remains though. Even if she was a Ward of the Royal Family, that does neither entitle her, nor authorize her, to become the protector of the Princess, especially when there are others - noble families included - who have to go through the process of joining the Royal Guard in order to do the same thing. If, by some means, Sera managed to become an unofficial guard of Solia, she would likely be subject to extreme resentment from the 'official' royal guard -- behind Solia's back, of course. IF you're fine with that though, go ahead. :p
Good, good!

Good, good!
Hm, hm... Let's see...
1) <Given her age, Sera would've had to been younger than 7 yhears old when the Royal Family picked her up, as you stated she was educated, trained and cared for for a time prior to the princess being born, and Sera is only 7 years older than Solia. This is not an issue in and of itself, I just found it ... strange?
2) If the Royal Family entrusted Sera with the duty of protecting the Princess, she would have had to join the Royal Guard and become an official member of it. If she was to remain as just an 'adopted daughte of the Royal Family', she would technically be a Princess - but seeing as she has no blood-ties to the family, and no claim to the throne - or anything else for that matter - that isn't really a viable option. Hence, she would have to have a title and official post in order to be allowed to carry out her duty.
3) I said this earlier in the OOC, but weapon specialization means SPECIALIZATION. Pole-arms and swords is too broad, for you don't use a bardiche the same way you use a spear, and you don't use a short sword the same way you use a zweihander. Please specify what weapons, exactly, she is trained with.
4) Not sure how familiar you are with Dog Days, but remember that War-games are non-lethal - just saying this since you specifically mentioned that your Special Attack causes wounds, which it would only be able to do in low/no-Frala zones. Again, this is not something that needs editing or changing, just mentioning this for safety reasons.
Aside from these tidbits, it looks just fine. Fix the tiny smidgeons and we'll get Sera ready to jump into the IC as well. :)
1) <Given her age, Sera would've had to been younger than 7 yhears old when the Royal Family picked her up, as you stated she was educated, trained and cared for for a time prior to the princess being born, and Sera is only 7 years older than Solia. This is not an issue in and of itself, I just found it ... strange?
2) If the Royal Family entrusted Sera with the duty of protecting the Princess, she would have had to join the Royal Guard and become an official member of it. If she was to remain as just an 'adopted daughte of the Royal Family', she would technically be a Princess - but seeing as she has no blood-ties to the family, and no claim to the throne - or anything else for that matter - that isn't really a viable option. Hence, she would have to have a title and official post in order to be allowed to carry out her duty.
3) I said this earlier in the OOC, but weapon specialization means SPECIALIZATION. Pole-arms and swords is too broad, for you don't use a bardiche the same way you use a spear, and you don't use a short sword the same way you use a zweihander. Please specify what weapons, exactly, she is trained with.
