Failures & Embarrassments

Not too much yet. She's excelled in her schooling and training as a squire, though she has yet to face any real-world challenges.

Mental Trauma

Intellectual Characteristics

Quick witted, clever, and intelligent. A fast learner, eager to acquire new knowledge. Particularly focused on legends and folklore, especially heroic tales.

Morality & Philosophy

All beings have a right to live in peace and prosperity. Any who threaten that are evil and shall be brought to justice by the strong. It is the duty of the strong to protect the weak. It is the duty of a ruler to see that justice and protection is always carried out in their lands, and never to allow corruption to flourish. Stories spread hope, and hope can push away the deepest darkness. To tell the tales of the brave is to inspire bravery; to sing the songs of the just is to keep the fires of justice itself burning.

Pansexual, though mostly attracted to feminine gender presentation. Only experiences attraction to those who she knows well enough to form a bond with. Not interested in romantic advances, unless those conditions are met. Despite all that, love, sex and romance are usually far from her mind, as she's mostly focused on being heroic during the day and singing about it at night.

Anything generally seen as selfish or heedless of the needs or considerations of others

Quotes & Catchphrases

TBD

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Despite being a skilled musician, she cannot for the life of her read music. She plays "By ear and heart" as she is fond of saying. Even her song notebook is full of a scrawl that only she can understand.

Dislikes: Selfish people, radishes, hot weather

Virtues & Personality perks

Loyal, selfless, just, compassionate

Vices & Personality flaws

She can get a little too distracted by her music, sometimes getting lost in arranging a rhyme or working out notes when she should be focused on something more important at the time. Her footwork could also use some work. If she's not careful, she could take more than her share of food, as she is quite the foodie as well.

Personality Quirks

She often stops in mid step or sentence when she hears something, having been trained to take note of any tones or notes she could incorporate into her music. She finds birdsong particularly distracting, yet inspirational. She's also prone to leg bouncing when sitting for a while, and can never sit in a chair like a straight person.

Hygiene

She believes hygiene is very important, not just for health but also to present a heroic bearing to the world. She is very aware that she represents the Amber Guard, Amberfell as a whole, and Queen Muller herself, and therefore she takes careful pride in her hygiene and appearance. She also regards makeup, especially eyeliner and shadow, as a kind of warpaint; to her, the application of such is a little ritual that helps her get into the correct mindset for battle and song.

Social

Wealth & Financial state

Personally, not much, though she can call on some significant resources through her family if a need dire enough arises. Still, she is a squire of the Amber Guard, and as such she wishes to stand on her own accomplishments and earnings.

Family Ties

Her relations with her house are in good standing and strong. Her family relationships are loving and healthy, and her family is proud of what she is doing. She, too, is proud of her families accomplishments and stewardship of their fief, as well as their loyalty to the Throne of Amberfell.

Religious Views

Devoted to the All-Mother, she sees herself as a servant of Hers fighting any who seek to disrupt the natural balance of the realm; namely, people being able to live in peace, harmony, and abundance. Less concerned with clergy and dogma as she is the practical application of the virtues to the world around her.

Social Aptitude

High. Her training with performance and speechcraft make her somewhat of a natural extrovert and social butterfly. She's charming, funny, and always seems to know just what to say and when to say it.

Mannerisms

She generally moves with a smooth, flowing gait, and is very expressive with her face and hands as she talks. She appears to wear her emotions on her sleeve, but as a trained performer they are all carefully cultivated to help her interact with an audience.

Hobbies & Pets

Being a squire and, hopefully, soon a knight is not a lifestyle particularly suited to the keeping of pets. She is however fond of all animals, but cats are a particular favorite. Her music is her main hobby, though she also enjoys cooking and swimming when she can.

Speech

Clever, quick witted, educated but not obtuse.
