with bright-ridged eyes over it
fair-branching, slender is your hand
I owe a poem that does not lie
Pure, wholesome, yellow hair,
a vine of curls around your head
round, thin-fingered, pure palm,
O firm- well-shaped foot
O curled, ridged yellow hair,
Cali of slender brows
give me no other judge
but the welcome of your heart
Let us feast to your shapely figure
-swift, mighty - side by side
Accept my best poems and songs
bright-languid, noble, decorous one
No woman but you in my home
its mistress may you be
False women and all the wealth I see
none of mine will pay them heed
Turn toward me your sole and palm
and your gold hair in beauty,
Your lovely blue young round eye
-may I fall in feast on your moist locks!
PERSONA: Callillilli. Quite a mouthful, isn't it? People only call her that sometimes..maybe when they're angry. We can simply use 'Calli'.
GENDER: Female
AGE: 16
ORIGIN: Danach
OCCUPATION/RANK: Daughter of Kitt, a retired dragonrider after her golden dragon died in a Thread-fighting accident, and Mathos, a Healer of people and also a Protector of the Cathair, who died in a fight with some vagabond thieves and murderers.
HAIR: Long and golden, curly
EYES: Blue
HEIGHT: 5' 5"
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Smooth, fair skin that burns rather easily. An oval face with slightly pointed ears, large blue eyes with long fair lashes, fair eyebrows, and small round lips. A straight and slender nose. Long golden hair, the color of a buttercup, and often pulled back and tied with a ribbon. Calli is long-legged with a mildly curvy body and a very slightly chubby middle, with a little 'pooch' right below her stomach that was popular in that time and place; every place else is skinny, including her long neck. Although her mother likes to see her in pretty, ribboned and laced dresses, usually pink or cream in color, with stifling corsets and choking necks, Calli prefers at this age to still wear loose cotton dresses that let her breathe, move, and play.
VOICE QUALITY: Calli has a sweet voice that she has been forced to culture into that of an angelic dove. She sings well but cannot breathe very well and so cannot hold notes. She is still 'her mother's songbird.'
LITERACY: Calli can read and write but it was not considered ladylike for her to do so very often.
CLOTHING: As I've said before, she wears dresses that you might have seen popular on Earth in the medieval times and the 1900s-1930s. She prefers a loose cotton shift or blouse and skirt. She is also forced to wear a frilly nightgown, but prefers pyjamas.
JEWELRY: Calli, although very fond of jewelry, usually wears it in moderation. Pearls are a favorite, as well as diamonds or rose-colored gems.
FAMILY: Her mother Kitt, deceased father Mathos, and younger sister, Brachet.
SKILLS: Calli, dubbed 'her mother's songbird,' is really not much of a singer. She can knit and sew, and cook. Gardening is another skill she has, having a natural 'green thumb.' She can also dance quite well, and sometimes plays the piano or flute.
PASTIMES/HOBBIES: Calli's pastimes under her mother's watch include singing, shopping, knitting, sewing, cooking, dancing and gardening. Alone or with people of her own age or younger, she prefers to swim, dance (wildly), climb, and cavort/frolick merrily.
PERSONALITY: Calli is a stubborn person who can throw tantrums with the best of them. She was very close to her father but now blocks him out of her mind because she doesn't like pain. She longs to be closer to her mother, but since her mother has emotional problems and is also quite strict about Calli's upbringing, there is little hope of them becoming best of friends. Calli has almost no interest in her sister; she is much too tomboyish and distant. Calli can act like a civilized lady, but she prefers wild parties and hanging out with friends or going for walks in the woods. Despite her inner fun-loving nature, she isn't very forgiving, and is very haughty, prideful, and snooty, especially around those she deems below her.
