Description:
In spite of her unusually tall height -measuring in at 5'11" in her flat-heeled boots- Acacia has a sturdy form. Her shoulders are broad, emphasized by the sharp lines of a fitted white blazer, the jacket's hem reaching down to slightly below her slender waist.
Should anyone catch her during her morning training, they would find that the professor possessed a toned physique, wiry muscles wrapping around long limbs. Legs strengthened through climbing are hidden in tasteful black slacks, giving the agile woman a deceptively business-like appearance.
Acacia is not one for accessories of any kind, her skin bare but for a grey tank top hidden beneath her blazer, her straight black hair spilling over her shoulders before coming to a blunt stop at her hipbones.
Neither attractive nor ugly, she has a plain, heart-shaped face, pale skin tanned to a soft gold complexion by many hours under the sun. She wears no make-up; lips chapped, eyelashes short and thick, she is nothing particularly spectacular. The most striking feature she possesses is her eyes- Pale blue to the point of nearly being translucent, the irises are speckled with gunmetal grey, her eyes narrow and often squinted in concentration.
Personality:
Unsurprisingly, Acacia is a very up-front person. She wears no mask, nor pretends to be what she is not, honest to the point of being rude. Her straight-forward approach to life reflects her personality on a whole- simple, focused, and unstoppable. Incredibly determined, she is often liked for her brusque affection, her particular brand of "tough love" useful for encouraging the more lazy of her students.
However, occasionally, a sadness creeps into the consistently-optimistic professor, dimming her vigor for adventure and learning, causing her to withdraw into herself as she turned her focused determination towards thinking on the past.
History:
Born into a simple merchant family, Acacia had an uneventful childhood. Raised as an apothecary's daughter, she had the same zeal for plants and beasts that her mother did- Except, it was not so much focused on their medicinal uses. Instead, she began to study the earth and its inhabitants, going on many explorations in her youth.
However, her adventurous life was put on hold when her mother fell ill, causing Acacia to return home abruptly to care for her. Despite the many months of nursing and prayers, she passed, leaving Acacia suddenly alone. Bereft, Acacia coped the only way she knew how:
She got a job.
Now the professor at the prestigious Academy, Professor Belgois teaches a few classes, mostly those related to the Second Petal and fighting/weaponry classes, her area of expertise being beastlore and archery.
Other:
She does not know her father.
Relationships:
She considers herself far too busy for a fling, let alone a serious relationship.
