Description:
    Despite her severe personality, Kristiyani does not appear particularly intimidating in simple appearance. Standing at a slightly-above-average 5'7", her form is statuesque, lean muscle contouring an otherwise hourglass figure. She holds herself with the confidence and austerity of a general- shoulders back, back slightly arched, arms behind her back, feet planted firmly apart.

    A startling beauty, even while scowling in irritation or frowning sternly, Kristiyani's heart-shaped face is surprisingly feminine. A peaches'n'cream complexion is complimented by vivid azure eyes, the large orbs set into her skull, framed by long brown eyelashes and sharp no-nonsense eyebrows. Her button-nose is framed by high cheekbones, her jaw stubborn and sloped before leading to a slightly pointed chin. Her lips are full almost to the point of being comical, though it is often downplayed by her tight frowns.
    With bright daffodil yellow hair, she is the prime example of a blonde, the slightly wavy tresses most often left down, reaching down to her hips. Her bangs are not cut, falling forward like a curtain over her right eye.

    She wears clothing that one would expect of a military leader more so than a principal and teacher. Her black leather boots have a small, chunky heel, the fitted material rising up to her knees, two inches of the material folded at the lip. Her pants are black, and fitted as well, tucked into her boots, matching the black tank top that could occasionally be seen beneath her fitted blue shirt. The shirt is long-sleeved, nearly a jacket for its thickness and rigid material, tailored to sharp points that emphasized the black lines that drew vertically down her chest and horizontally across her shoulders. As well, two lines of silver buttons marked down the torso of the shirt.
    Over all this, she wore a heavy black coat, its hem reaching down to mid-thigh, edged with voluptuous white fur at the collar.
    Her only accessories are a pair of thick white gloves, her family's crest -a kirin framed by crossed swords- embroidered in silver on the backs.

Personality:
    At first glance, or perhaps in a passing conversation, Kristiyani Varana does not come off as particularly pleasant. A principal and leader are what seem to be her only setting: strict, tempermental, and without pity. She holds herself, and all those around her, to extremely high standards, not softening the blow of her words as she communicated what someone did wrong, how they could improve, and why her way was preferred. Orderly to a fault, her workplace is pristine, this tidiness even extending to her thought process, causing her mind to be quick and efficient.
    However, she is not all stern frowns and dry, stabbing wit. Beneath a very hard shell, the woman beneath possesses a warm, patient heart full of kindness. Her high standards are a reflection of her belief that everyone has the capacity to be great, her pride in her students and the Academy shining bright in her eyes when she stands before her students. Her loyalty to the Headmaster is infallible, the woman quite willing to go above and beyond to accommodate him, whether that requires kindness or a severe chastising.

History:
    She does not speak of her past often, often replying to any inquiry of her origins with a sharp jab of wit. However, when one finally does get her to talking of her life, it is obvious that she holds no qualms with her upbringing, speaking of her family and youth with fondness and appreciation.
    Born into a rather impressive family, she had two older brothers, who she occasionally remarks on doing well in the army. The daughter of an Evenbourne and an influential man of royalty, Kristiyani was bred to be a remarkable woman of the First Petal. While other children played, she studied dutifully, her natural knack with magic nurtured, her manners refined. Her upbringing was strict and full of far more responsibility than that of her brothers, but she did not mind, learning courtesy and influencing others with the vigour of a Mesmer. Magic, and notoriety, are in her blood.

Other:
    Despite being constantly around the eccentric Headmaster, she has no particularly odd hobbies. She enjoys painting, kirin-riding, and long naps.

Relationships:
    She is far too busy aiding the Headmaster for a relationship.
