Name: Aisha Age: 24 Gender Female Appearance: - hair color/style: Wiry black, cut short to avoid unnecessary hassle - eye color: Brown - General Appearance: Aisha is tall and thin (due to a genetic disorder*), and therefore she considered unsuitable for marriage, as no man wants someone so thin (she looks like she’d be fainting all over the place) or taller than him. Her unusually dark skin color also tends to be a turn off (her heritage discussed later) Personality: Aisha has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and therefore it is lucky that she’s a princess, or she would be exorcised (or burned at the stake). As it is, she is kept mostly sequestered, to prevent the general populous from knowing. Oftentimes, she is struck by compulsions to do things, such as walk off the balcony or disfigure some of the art in her room. Whenever this happens, she quickly begins one of her “patterns” as she calls them. They can consist from everything from clapping five times to elaborate things that look almost like dances. Also, she is anti-social and shy, with little care for wealth and such things. Brief History: Her father is the Duke of a duchy in the Gait Isles. Her mother, or so it is said, is from the land to the south, across the waves, where deserts blaze hotter than forge-fire during the day and nights are blight cold. (This explains her unusual skin color.) When the Gaitian explorers reached the island, the not-yet-duke had been the leader of the expedition. He entered the massive marble and gold palace of a king, and had the youngest daughter thrust upon him as a treaty gift, after the king saw the superior weapons of the Gaitians. They returned home with marvelous tales… And a girl with skin the color of wet mahogany. The leader of the expedition was crowned duke by the king, and that was that. The marriage was successful for the most part, though the language barrier proved a little tough, but unfortunately a year had hardly passed when the duchess died in childbirth. It was unnerving when the duke realized that he had married someone who was in fact five years younger than he’d thought she way – it turned out that Aisha’s mother had been only fourteen at the time of the marriage. This possibly contributed to the disease that made her grow quickly into an abnormally thin girl who later seemed to not mature physically in the way women normally did. The duke remarried, this time to the daughter of another Gaitian woman. Aisha was not mistreated, but of course having a royal family meant she was mostly cared for by nannies, then governesses, and finally some crusty old tutors, who found her intelligence was mostly concealed by her shyness. She also, they noticed, tended to do the strangest things some times, weird patterns done with her hands, and rubbing that strange stone on her necklace. Class: She’s a princess – she doesn’t need any other skills than to be the dream of every peasant boy who wants a better life, and she doesn’t even succeed at that. Equipment: - Accessory: As a princess, of course, she has jewels. She tends to wear one silver-chained amethyst bracelet on either wrist (to keep everything even) and a golden necklace with a strange piece of green jade that somehow managed to be perfectly even on both sides (this was apparently her mother’s at some point). Some whisper that it was blessed by Loki, in the form of a demon god from her homeland. Personally, she knows that it’s necessary for quite a few of her compulsive “rituals” that no one can explain. Skills: She is amazingly good at counting, and has a dogged persistence at most things she wants to get done. Also, she has a penchant for learning languages, since really all you need for that is hard work and an ability to correct yourself almost flawlessly. Would you mind having a character crucial to the plot? Not at all. Are you willing to go through with some crazy plotlines that may or may not harm yours and your characters’ sanity? What sanity? Sure! *Trisomy X |
 Sure it's and advert, but I digress... Characters Eztli - Mad monk, but not Rasputin. | |

Unfortunately, this character would not work. By no means is Celes a monarchy. In fact, they're still rather island-nation-tribal. Sorry, but I'm gonna have to lower the admin hammer on this one. =\ If you have any questions about histories or anything, feel free to ask. Other than that, she's a good character. |
