Deleted User	I am called... Lillende And I am here to prove myself... General .:Character Number:. 2 .:Age:. 16 .:Candidate For: Dragon .:Rank:. Candidate .:Gender:. Female .:Orientation:. Pan .:Name Honorific:. Ende In Depth .:Personality: Lillende is colored by her relatinship with her family. She desperately seeks to be her own person and be free of them, but she'll never get there completely. Lillende is both respectful and serious. As such, she expects to be treated with respect and to be taken seriously. Doing otherwise will raise her ire and offend her. She is polite and has a pretty strong working knowledge of etiquette, and she knows how to speak to more high-society people-- these are some of the only good things, she claims, that her xfather's obsessive teachings ever did for her. Likewise, because (as much as he refuses to admit it), her father is not as high nobility as he likes to believe, she is not so far-removed from ordinary people to have delusions of grandeur or not know how to deal with them. In fact, she's perfectly aware that she is ordinary people, as much as her parents tried to convince her otherwise. Lillende is Philanthropic. She means well, and she wants to help people, make their lives better. This actively goes against her training, which included some mandatory haughtiness, but Lillende is the type to volunteer her time or to donate to charities or otherwise help the weak and the poor. Someone need hands for a relief effort? Lillende has hands! If she has money, she'll usually donate that too. Part of the reason that she DOES want to be a dragonrider is because she thinks she can help people, not only by protecting them from thread, but using the advantages that come with a giant flying reptile to better their lives in day-to-day ways. One thing that they really, really like in high society is subtly, and naturally Lillende's "lessons" involved that most delicate of subjects. Lillende traipsed through that subject with all the grace of a drunk elephant. Lillende can be about as subtle as a brick. She is brazen and forward, and frankly, she doesn't like subtly. If you want to say something, you should just say it- not just hide underneath twelve layers of nuance. Lillende also has the tendency to leap before she thinks. She can be impetuous and rash, especially if she cares about a situation. She'll say things without thinking about them first, to detrimental effect, or she'll charge headlong into a situation without quite thinking it through first- as she ages, she might learn to be able to temper this tendency of hers somewhat, but it's always going to be there, giving her that subtle push towards rash action. One could say that Lillende has anger issues. They wouldn't be too far off the mark. She has a lot of built up resentment sitting in her chest, nurtured all the way from her childhood. She resents her father, she resents her mother for going along with him, she resents some of her siblings for eating up his idiocy like it was cake-- she resents herself, in some ways, for bowing to his will eventually. This may also color some of her actions, or make her uncomfortable of certain situations: she's going to be leery of family and starting one of her own, for instance. It's part of why she doesn't want to get married. Lillende may be stubborn.. but her will can only carry her so far, and her parents are stubborn too. Right up until the point of impression, she is, no matter how hard she fights, still subservient to them. Going against their wishes will bring up a huge wave of irrational guilt. Even after she Impresses, she will still feel that guilt, and still feel like she owes them something.. even if she can't stand doing what they say. As it stands, she'll usually obey them now, unless it's something she really really doesn't want to do- she's just learning to exercise her first full Independence from them when she comes to the weyr. Eventually she will emerge past that, but it will be a long road. She is familial and loyal despite herself. Other aspects of her familial training have lingered as well. She's something of a conformist- she will do what the crowd does because the crowd does it. there's safety in society, after all- and besides, fashion is interesting to her, and most other issues that would arise of conformity are far enough beyond her to be of little concern to her. She's also thrifty. She'll avoid spending marks unless she absolutely thinks she needs to, and she can be kind of cheap even when she does buy things. Not that she'll go for low quality goods-- no, that's a waste of money. She'll buy high-quality, good things and most of her possessions will be quite fine. She just won't buy things often and won't have that much in the way of stuff. The only real exception to her thriftiness is for charity: helping people is enough of a good cause to put aside the penny pinching. Lillende is a bit superstitious. Pern doesn't have a religion, but there's still those mental haunts that follow the human mind around: stories of ghosts, omens of ill luck, etc. Lillende tends to believe those things. If people tell her there's a ghost in an area, it'll freak her out and she'll avoid that area. She tends to wear lucky jewelry all the time, and different pieces have different kinds of luck. One to be lucky and safe, one for general good luck, one to turn away ill luck, etc. She can seem somewhat mystical, especially when she's dealing with her jewelry. She does have a magpie-like fondness for jewelry as well, and shiny things in general. Lil is slightly naive, but not in any traditional way. It's not naivity about sex or the harsh realities of the world-- really, it's only manifestation is in her expectations. She's frequently astounded by the world around her-- she'll realize something about how the weyr is set up, or the way things are taught, and it will blow her mind. This isn't because the thing is revolutionary- it's more because it didn't occur to her to think about how that specific thing worked, or something like that. For all of her pent up resentment and anger, Lillende is actually a pretty optimistic person. She's very hopeful about the future, regardless of what it holds: dragon, ordinary life as weyrfolk. She'll find silver linings in most clouds when they wander by, and her hope for the next day will usually carry her through some serious crises situations. She looks forward and she hopes for the best. That said, she can get quite broody about situations in the here and now. Tomorrow might be better-- shards, it probably WILL be better-- but if today sucks, it sucks. Her optimism doesn't make her immune to feeling like crap. On the contrary, if there's reason to, she'll probably be prone to feeling a bit low. She just won't let it stop her from trying to make things better. Lillende may be slightly intimidating at first, but that's a facade, and an unintentional one, at that. She seeks to emulate dignity, not intimidate people. She's actually fairly approachable, and quite friendly. For all of her baggage, Lillende is actually a pretty mentally stable person-- outside of the slight tendency for mood swings. She is an emotional creature, but she doesn't really let her emotions rule her-- quite the other way around, and she is PROUD of that fact. She can be counted on to make pretty good, sound decisions. While Lillende is unlikely to search out power on her own-- she isn't that ambitious and isn't interested in being as obnoxious as the only ambitious people she knows. She would, however, make a pretty capable leader. Her forwardness, her steadiness, and her ability to make sound decisions would serve her well in that role. She probably wouldn't enjoy it all that much, and she isn't really going to put herself in the position to be a leader intentionally. Lillende is kind of hedonistic. The only thing that really prevents that is the fact that she's a penny pincher. She won't live beyond her means, but she does like living well, and feeling good, and eating good food, and enjoying life as much as it can be enjoyed.. she will seek new, good experiences. She is quite lusty. Lillende is inclined to be suspicious of strangers, especially if they come to the weyr under odd or questionable circumstances. She's independent, and the more she spends away from her family, the more independent she will be. She'll grow into herself, get more confident and trust her own abilities and reasoning more, as time goes on. There is one aspect of weyr life that Lillende will take to pretty well, which might surprise some: the sexual openness. She enjoys sex, including casual sex. .:Appearance:. As much as Lillende rejects her family and the teachings they have tried to instill in her mind, she does adhere to some of the things they have taught her. It's most obvious in appearance. Lillende is a tall woman, at 5'11", and she moves with practiced grace. She's thin, with blonde hair that she frequently wears back in a bun or a braid, and she tends to move with small and subtle movements-- really, the only subtle thing around her. She is usually very clean. Her eyes are grey, and her lips thin, which frequently gives her a bit of a pinched look. She is fond of dresses and skirts, usually in green, of fancy make and material-- not very practical clothing at all. She does wear practical clothing around the weyr- pants, etc-- but she does so only grudgingly, and she will wear her skirts and dresses whenever she gets the chance. In build she's fairly light, and her features are long. Her nose looks slightly too long and thin for her face. She has a fondness for jewelry, and tends to wear small pieces that don't get in the way: a ring or two, and the occasional necklace. She wears them for luck. Her skin tone is pale tan. .:History:. Lillende's father is a minor noble with a lot of ambitions within one of the minor holds in the North. The fact that he is a minor holder doesn't quite seem to reach his head, though, and if it ever does, it's only as a reminder that he won't be one for very long. The reality of the situation doesn't agree with that statement, but that's not what he thinks, and that's the important thing. Thusly, when he heard that a new weyr was being established in the south, he thought it only proper that he ought to send his youngest daughter to the weyr in a show of good well. Nevermind that she didn't want to go; he is an old world man, and thus her wishes don't have much in the way of weight with his decisions. The fact that no one is going to notice the fact that her appearance is a gesture is lost on him, but not on Lillende- she is essentially just another weyrfolk, and she knows it. Having grown up under the thumb of her father, she is quite glad to be free of him. Her childhood was a frustrating affair where he desperately tried to steer her, along with the rest of his children, up the social ladder by trying to emulate high society. Lillende was never fond of this charade, and butted heads with him on several occasions.. but eventually bent to his will. Thus, her presence in Heartland weyr. At least it's far away from her father. She has been standing as a candidate at every available opportunity since her arrival, but so far has come up empty-handed. This is, of course, seen as a failing by her father, as he regularly expresses by letter-- she should either Impress a gold or marry, already, and stop dawdling. At this point, Lil's answers to his letters is to glance at them, roll her eyes, and toss them out. .:Other:. Preferences Wanted color: Nothing specific Not-wanted color: nonspecific. cross-gender: okay! mutations: Okay! canons: okay! matching: anything so long as it's a non-malicious bond. complementary opposites, please, not opposites where they'd probably hate each other. Please no clones of riders or existing characters-- theme-basing is okay, but I can't play chars that are from an existing media and then dropped in identically. X.x I never do them proper justice. mauling: sure, but no maiming or death please. Detail, Personality: 10+ adjectives, if possiblenonoffensive. This is the most important preference and the main one I care about. Detail, Appearance: I like colorful designs, markings, gradients, gradients with markings, gradiated markings, etc. Level of chaos or complication does not matter, attractive designs appreciated. :3 Information on build appreciated. Secondary preference Queens: deeply ambivalent. Please consider only for queens if the impression of a queen DOES NOT come with any kind of OOC rank or responsibility/if my problematic activity won't be a huge problem-- if they do come with OOC duties, I fear I will only disappoint. Bluemist; Link to page that lists characters on this game specifically is in signature, where applicable. ^{Under no circumstances do I give permission for my characters to be adopted out/used without my permission. I admit that I am character possessive.}
