Description:
Dark-skinned, tall, flat-chested. All these words describe Ariannah pretty good. She never had a particularly female build, so it was no surprise to her that her boobs stayed pretty much as small as they were, which she was quite happy about. Those things would only get in her way in the end.
Her hair is of a dark red color, very straight and often partially fixed in a simple braid. It had grown quite long, about chest-length, which is slowly starting to annoy Ariannah, but, as she is really fond of her haircolor, she doesn't dare to cut them. Yet.
Ariannah's eyes are pretty unspectacular. They are of a light brown color, nothing all to special.
Make-up is something Ariannah considers unneccessary, but for special occasions (like photographs or ceremonies) she puts on just a little.
Ariannah's clothing is pretty unspectacular as well. Most of it follows the same color-scheme though: sand-colored/beige, red/dark-red, black. Most of the time her clothes are practical and simple: t-shirt and pants, maybe a hoodie. Most of it is pretty sporty and boyish and skirts and dresses never find their way into Ariannahs closet.
Personality:
Ariannah has always been a dreamer. She gets lost in her daydreams easily and is unwilling to let go of them most of the time. But if you actually have her attention for more than 2 minutes she is a great listener and overall pretty friendly. That is until you anger her. Ariannah has quite a temper. She once ignored a childhood friend for a whole month before she accepted his apology, after he had accidentally knocked over her giant building brick tower. She had been 4 at that time, but nevertheless, if you piss her off, you should stay away from Ariannah, especially now that she knows how to use a lethal weapon. Well, not really, Ariannah takes her anger out by ignoring someone, being rude, with the use of sarcasm, of playing little pranks. She would never physically hurt someone, except when she or her friends and family are endangered.
Apart from her temper Ariannah is a very pleasant person to be around, even though she can be very talkative and nosy at times. She enjoys company and is happy most of the time, even though she misses her family.
Ariannah takes her school-work very serious as she is determined to graduate with great grades and make something spectacular out of her life. She can work on her own pretty good, but she really enjoys working in small groups. Helping others and getting feedback are very important to her.
History:
Ariannah comes from a very simple family. She is the oldest of 3, having a younger brother, Yerem(14), and a younger sister, Gwendolen(11), and misses both of them and her parents dearly, writing letters as often as possible. Her parents own an inn.
She was raised very down to earth, but the stories her father told her, about adventures and the Mistlands, made her dream of something bigger. She heard stories about magic swords, princesses being saved, empires being united. But the part that interested her the most were the swords. She started fighting imaginary mistlings with butter-knives when she was just 7, made wooden swords for her and her brother when she was 8. When she was 10 she sneaked into the kitchen at night, smelting in some of her mothers silver jewelry, casting it into a clay mold she had made herself in the attempt to make a dagger. At that point her parents told her about the Academy (after scolding her, taking away most of her toys and grounding her for 2 weeks, of course) and Ariannah started focusing on her schoolwork to get the chance to be schooled there. When she was invited 4 years later she was overjoyed and determined to do her best and someday make one of those legendary weapons herself.
Other: She keeps her first attempt at 'smithing', a little silver dagger-thingie which is totally useless as a weapon, with her at all times, as a sort of lucky charm.
Relationships: None as of yet.
Well. Here goes nothing. If you have any feedback or suggestions or questions, tell me. I know this isn't perfect yet and I really want to improve.
