Gender, age, place of residence of the Character.
Female. As for her age, I never really considered it.
In the beginning of Warriors, she'd lived soully in Celekera. She was raised from infancy there.
After her ascension, she's mostly traveled, visiting her sylvan father and her moon-elven mother, but she never really felt she belonged in either world.
A wanderer. She stayed in inns, taverns, or out in the open, Eriea's estates, and Rhae's camp.. but none tugged on her heart to stay.
Much later, she makes her home in Elven Sanctuary, but actually her residence would be anywhere Zach chooses to live.
Birthplace. All cities/towns of residence from birth to current.
She was born in her mother's world, but in secret.
** Must think of a moon elven city that Ithil Kesara is from.
Celekera for most of her life.
Mostly wandering about.
Lastly, Elven Sanctuary or on the outskirts of the elven port city.
Occupation, if any. Most and least favorite job ever.
Warrior of the Moon.
Religion. Educational level (and schools, if any). Political learnings.
Look above!
Ren is dedicated to the elven goddess of moonlight, dreams, mysticism, death, journeys, transcendence, the stars, the heavens, the moon elves.
Celekera teaches its novices the necessary fundamentals in entering life outside and inside the temple. They are taught to handle with more care their special gifts inherited from their blood lines. In Eriea's case, she was trained to erect special shields and barracades due to her empathy to keep her from going mad.
They are taught a variety of languages. Common. Elvish. Drow. Etc. To read and write in those various languages. Mainly, she keeps to common, but often slips into the tongue of her sylvan father or the ancient moon-elven language.
Once they reach a certain age, few of the novices are chosen to train with weaponcraft while others learn more clerical, prietess/priest studies.
They learn when the best time to call on the aid of their goddess. When Sehanine's power waxes and wanes along with the moon.
They are taught to control the moonstones in their chosen weapons, to draw forth the magic it weilds or controls from the moonlight.
Number of brothers and sisters and their relative ages.
Two half brothers by her father.
Ren's mother never remarried or bore any other children due to the love she bore her sylvan lover.
Her father Ashwood Larocus eventually married then widowed, with two sons, but he never forgot his first true love.
Nimbreth- the baby of the family, not yet reaching teenage status amongst the elves. Like his brother and half sister he has flaxen /platinum hair, but different than his brother, his is more pale like Ren's and his jade green eyes has flecks of woodland brown in them.
Lith- He's quickly reaching manhood, wanting to follow in his father's footsteps of being a ranger. He has fair blonde hair, nearly flaxen like Ren's save for a little more brown laced in there. Jade-green eyes. and bronze. Basically he's a teenage, not yet adult elf. Several, several years younger than his older half sister.
Physical Description:

First thing a stranger would notice about the character.
Impishness in her features and eyes.
Ren's eyes are always glinting with good humor.
By looking at her, one could tell she enjoys all the joys that the world offers.

Everything about Ren's body is typically elven. Her nose, her petiteness, her fingers.
They are slender, long and graceful.. strong, skilled, dexterous.
Undoubtedly elven. High prominent cheeks bones, fey-looks, almond shaped eyes.
Describe the Character's body in four words, two from personal ads (slender, atheletic, voluptuous, etc.) and two surprising words not commonly applied to the human body.
Willowy, petite, lush, fragile.
Favorite Things:
Time of day, time of year, type of weather.
Look to her religion. She likes the nighttime so she could commune with her goddess, to feel a closeness to Sehanine. Night she's more alive, more active {in and out of bed!}
Due to her sylvan blood, she likes all types of year and weather. Each holds a mericle and sight that wow's her.
Singer or musician (and why?), song. {If applies}
The bards and troubadours she happens to see at the same inn and tavern she's staying out.
Then there is the gypsies her wandering comes across on. She loves watching them play and the women dance.
Types of pets, types of nonpets animals.
Amrun, her faithful moon horse given to her by her mother.
Ash gray in coloring, the mare was wonderous to the sight. In the elven tongue, her name stands for Morning Ash.
Sexual activity (if applicable). Flavor of icecream (or can substitute any sweets, candies, or beverages). Sleeping position.
::Chuckles:: Just about anything sexual.
Ren's wordly in her knowledge of things sexual.
Passionate, she could be an agressor in the act when her partner wills it.
Her lovers can notice she puts all of herself in pleasing them {No doubt Zach has!}
Rough, playful, gentle. She likes it anyway.
Ren does have a sweet tooth, but rarely gets to indulge due to her duty and moving around.
Ren's known to sleep flat on her belly with her head turned towards the left, and her right hand beside her head on the pillow. It's the only time she looks innocent.
Color, and why? and how does the Character include this color in his/her life.
Green and silver. Green reminds her of her father's eyes and her sylvan blood while silver reminds her of her mother's beautiful hair and her moon elven bloodlines.
Behavior:
In general, how does Character act around police (guards, soliders, etc)? Vendors? The dying? His/Her mother?
Cheeky! She's quick to charm them to her way of thinking.. Well the men anyway. When intent on her job, she's serious, working in sync with them, but other wise she's pleasant.
Vendors, kind, generous, easy to get along with but shrewd when she has too.
Compassionate and tender towards the dying.. She remains close to help them as much as she could.
Ren gets along with her mother, they are learning to deal with one another, working that mother and father bond between each other.
How does the Character unconsciously show irritation? Satisfaction? Lust? Love? Sadness? Nervousness?
How, when, and why does the Character lie to others?
How, when, and why does the Character lie to him/herself?
How and what the Character sings if he/she thinks no one is looking
To tease friends, she is known to sing dirty ditties that she'd heard here or there.
Depends on the moods that she's in..
When she's happy she's known to sing or hum a cheerful tune or one from her childhood.
Sad, she's known to sing or hum depressive tunes.
Activities:
What is Character doing at one PM on Sunday? At six PM on Tuesday? At four PM on Friday?
Does Character have a lover, consort or partner?
Ren's never without a lover for long.
In each tavern, inn or place she finds herself, she always searches for male companionship
Because of this, she was termed loose, but she paid that no mind.
She's never without a companion for Midsummer's. She's always plagued with looks due to her lovely elven figure and features.
But, after Warriors, she did finally settle on the only man that gave her a rough time. The only male she could never easily entice and made her work {and her hiring him} to finally achieving lover status.. And in that event, Zachary got her with child..
So yes, she has a lover/consort/partner, whatever you wanna call the drow/sylvan recluse.
Three reasons Character is with their consort/lover/partner.
There is something about Zach that gives Ren security. His nature balances her own and vice versa.
She loves to antagonize the broodingly silent mercenary, attempt to make him smile or lighten his heart or bring some light into his life. A challenge if you will. Zach's a challenge to Ren. He'd been from the start when she was trying to attract his eye and failed.
Then there are the children she bore him..and the feeling she harbors inside for him.
Two reasons why Character and their lover/consort/partner aren't perfect for each other and one thing about the lover/consort/partner that Character doesn't know?
Kinda like with Eriea and Rhae, the two are completely opposite.
Zach is a beserker, quiet, hard to reach, hard to draw into conversation. The man is hard, rough, and down right dangerous. Aloof. Keeps to himself.
Ren's the opposite, chattery, talkative, loves attention. Not overly loud, but she's always wearing a smile. Mischieveous. Impish. She's soft, passionate, caring.
Basically, Ren doesn't know all of Zachary's past. She knows he has a closeness to LaRuil, Oakheart, Blade, and various other friends. He's really closed lipped about it all especially his last lover Scarlet, a mortal bard-whore he lost his heart too. There are times when she feels envious and jealous over the power Scarlet had/has over Zach, wishing she could hold his heart that much, but knows enough not to show how it wounds her inside... Scarlet died by natural means.. and he's with her now.. but still the ghosts hold on him bothers her now and then.
Does Character have friends? As above, tell one thing about the friend that Character doesn't know?
Yes, Ren's a friendly sort when she's not pissing off the ladies by hitting on their men..or gathering their men's attention.
She has an easy-manner that people are drawn to along with a bubbly personality people like. Not overly-cheerful that would get on a person's nerves..but damn close!
Eriea is her closest friend.
Then she befriended Rose.
Does Character daydream? What about? Does Character worry? What about?
Ren's longest daydream was having a family, to feel the love of her mother and father. She vowed she'd always be a prominent figure in her children's life, wanting to witness through them how it felt to be in a real family. And then there was seeing the world, she's currently seeing that dream.
Yes, Ren worries, but she tends not to show it and hides behind her mischieveous nature.
Possession:
Number of keys on his/her keychain. What do they open?
Not many, but she does have a key to a few of Eriea's manors, so whenever she's in that area, she has a place to stay.
One thing in Bedroom Character would be sure to point out to a visitor.
Five possessions or talents the person treasures but never uses.
Most oft-worn shoes. Longest-owned piece of clothing.
History:
What does Character think now of Mom and Dad?
She's really starting to learn about her father and mother, getting to know them both.
After meeting her parents and learning the reason she was given up, she doesn't hold no hostility towards them, understanding why they did the things they did.
She can't blame them for their passion..and she respects the means her mother went through to keep her child alive.
Three childhood events that Character thinks shaped his/her personality.
Character's first love and how it ended (if it did). Tell me one heartbreaking deatil, too.
The last time Character cried was when?
Rarely is her feelings hurt.. but the true last time she'd cried was when she thought Eriea perished in the destruction of Celekera.
The best unexpected thing that will happen to Character today.
really hard to tell with her.
Least Favorites:
Celebrity (or person of authority). Food. Thing on TV (if applicable). Place Character has been.
Thing about own behavior. Thing about own body.
Other:
What does Character really want, though he/she doesn't think about it?
Family. Being raised in the temple and hearing the other Ithaman's relate about their mighty bloodlines, their closeness to their parents and siblings, she envied them on having that.
From what little knowledge the clerics and all in the temple gave her, she was parentless. She knew nothing of her mother or father or if they even were alive. No clue of why she was given into the care of the temple at the tender age.
When she and Eriea were reunited (and the relief in knowing her friend was still alive} she was stunned to learn of Eriea's pregnancy and a little wishful, wanting to be in her friend's shoes.. It was an odd experience because Eriea always said that Ren would be the first to settle down before her.. And it was the complete opposite.
But later/after the story, she was given the chance to have what she sought. She learned to be close to her mother, her father, her two half brothers, Zachary, his daughter Bara, and the children Zach given her {at first it was only two, Oloru and Ceskial, but she'd have two more to take after her lover.. boy and girl.}
Come up with three questions you'd ask about Character and then have Character answer them.
Nada
Character's full name. First. Middle. Surname. Does Character have any nicknames?
Achren Larocus Kesara. Since she was given to the care of Matron Ceskial when she was an infant, Achren was given both of her parents surname, but she never knew it. Mostly she's known as Achren Kesara.
Kesara's are a well-known elven family. One of the many nobles.
Larocus were a well-to-do sylvan family. Great rangers, trackers, protectors of their forest home.
To her friends, she's known as Ren.
Did you decide his/her name before, during, or after answering the previous questions?
Had the basics for her name way before this.. but made a few little changes, switching the placement of Kesara and Larocus. I felt that it was only right that she had her mother's moon-elven name due to her services of Sehanine Moonbow.. In my research I didn't see much of sylvan's worshipping the Lunar Lady..
