Gender, age, place of residence of the Character.
Female, at the start of the story Warriors, Eriea's nineteen/twenty.
In the beginning of the story, she lived soully at Celekera Temple, but towards the end, she lives in a small encampment in Ellyon woods.
Birthplace. All cities/towns of residence from birth to current.
Cemoerr. Her mother's lands, especially in Cemoerr Manor.
Cemoerr is widely known for the breeding and rearing of Cespians {a cross between elven horses and normal. They are generally used for war horses, but with a keen, higher intelligence.
After her mother's untimely death, Eriea went to live with her Uncle Mollern, Raenne's older brother. I have yet to figure a name for his holdings and lands. When Raenne died, Eriea inherited Cemoerr and all her mother's holdings. Mollern held Eriea's inheritance, hiring a steward to look after the place until Eriea came of age.
Then, after Mollern's death, he held to his sister's death-bed plea of sending her daughter to Celekera. Raenne's half elven husband made her promise to send their child to the temple since its an Alqualond tradition {He never gone because of his father}. She stayed at Celekera until she turned nineteen. She went to inspect her lands from her mother and uncle.
Then she ended up staying in Ellyon Woods after being wounded.
Occupation, if any. Most and least favorite job ever.
Landholder and Warrior of the Moon.
She's from a special branch of holy fighters to the elven goddess Sehanine Moonbow.
Eriea could advance to Knight of the Firsty Mystery and on {which is doubted she could surpass Knight of the Fourth Mystery because of her blood lines because she's less than a half elf..and no half elf had trascended higher}, Sentinels of the Moonbow, or The Veiled Choir.
Religion. Educational level (and schools, if any). Political learnings.
Look above!
Eriea 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.
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.
She's the only child. Her father died before her birth..and her mother never remarried. Raenne only lived a few years before she joined her beloved in death.
Physical Description:
Height, weight, race.
5'8'', Around 115 lbs. Quarter elven. Her mother was full human; her father was a half elf.
First thing a stranger would notice about the character.
The aloofness of her nature. There is no laugh lines around her eyes or lips. No smiles. No softness to the eyes. Then there is the way she carries herself, a lone warrior who wishes to stand on her own two feet. Solitary. Lonely.
Describe the Character's nose. Describe the Character's hands, either at rest or at work. Describe her/his facial features.
Typical of her mother's blood lines. Eriea has a noble, aristocratic nose. Kinda perky.
Soft face, her cheeks are more rounded than high. Eriea inherited her mother's facial features save for the slight tilt of her eyes speaks of her elven blood.
Eriea's hands? Slim, slender, and long. Elven fingers. Nimble and proficient in the tasks she needs. Hidden strength.
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.
Voluptuous, curvy, graceful, bountiful
Favorite Things:
Time of day, time of year, type of weather.
::Points to her faith:: Night, especially during the full moon when Sehanine is at her highest/powerfulest.
At first, she liked the summer whenshe was not clustered inside the walls of Celekera. Then once she was influenced by a certain half elf male and living in the forest, she soon begun to love spring and fall especially when the leaves turn yellow, orange and red. But she would be loathed to tell anyone that, and enjoys the simple nature's beauty by herself.
Type of weather, before, while living in the temple she liked fair weather because the other Ithaman's got to work outside during those times. Rainy and snowy days were long and boring. Stiffling.
Now that she lives in the forest with Rhae, weather doesn't bother her very much. On a frigid snowy or rainy day/evening, she could be found cuddled beside her half elven lover in his fur blanketed bed. Rhae introduced Eriea to other sports to be had during those times.
The mingled sounds of her lover's heartbeat and the pelting of rain on his tent is very relaxing!
Singer or musician (and why?), song. {If applies}
On the rare occasions when a bard travels their way, she enjoys the ballads they sing. Though, she does love the sound of Rhae's voice whenever he hums or sings to himself without knowing she was listening.
Types of pets, types of nonpets animals.
Her black Cespian destroyer Gibbous. Beautiful, head-strong, Gibbous is loyal to Eriea because of her rescue of him from an abusive owner/trainer. Gibbous earns his name from the nearly, in-perfect white circle on his forhead. Hince, the name Gibbous {which if you know anything about the moon..means not nearly full}
Sexual activity (if applicable). Flavor of icecream (or can substitute any sweets, candies, or beverages). Sleeping position.
Hehe, we'd have to ask the half elf Rhae on this one.
The rogue has been introducing Eriea to her softer, feminine side. A known womanizer, it was rough for the poor elf to get this far with Eriea.. But all his patience and endurance paid off. He melted Eriea's icy barriers. {We'll let him recount the difficulties she posed for him!}
Not sure about sweets. Beverages, she likes the sweet, fruity flavors.
Sleeping position. ::Laughs:: Before, she slept on her right side, legs kinda tucked in with a fist beneath her cheek.
After, there are a variety of sleeping positions with Rhae. On her right side, with Rhae's body spooning hers and his arm firmly against her stomach to hold her against him.
When Rhae's sleeping on his back, she likes to cuddle against his side with one leg drooped over one of his.. OR half of her body covering his {And I do believe Rhae likes sleeping with his Eriea blanket! This is his favorite}
She hates sleeping alone.. Rhae's her heat!
Color, and why? and how does the Character include this color in his/her life.
Any color associated with her Goddess.
Silver. Silvery-blue. Silvery-white.
Her moonblade and medallion is made of Laioen which is a silvery-white. She is never without her medallion, wearing her faith with pride.
And she likes blue, mostly a dark, midnight, sapphire blue because of Rhae's eyes. She tries to wear a little blue in her clothing every day or as often as she can.
Behavior:
In general, how does Character act around police (guards, soliders, etc)? Vendors? The dying? His/Her mother?
Before, she gave them a cool, disdainful respect because of her position. She was a Warrior of the Moon. Now, she's a little fearful, hoping and praying none would notice her connection with Rhae..or use her to capture her lover due to his illegal crimes.
Vendors, she knows you must be shrewd to deal with them.
The dying, she revers them with respect, praying to her Goddess.
Her mother? Eriea had never truly known her mother save from the woman's memoirs. There is a loss in her heart and soul that a mother's love could only fill.
How does the Character unconsciously show irritation? Satisfaction? Lust? Love? Sadness? Nervousness?
Eriea's eyes change color with her moods. A clear way to know when she's irritated, sad, nervous, happy.
Normal, her eyes are lilac. Angry, they turn a dark, smokey violet. Sad, they turn a beautiful lavender color. Love, they turn a clear, lavender-lilac shade. Very soft. Worried, a vibrant red-violet color. Lust- Husky purple.
After a night with Rhae, her cheeks are a rosy hue and she loses that monotoned quality to her voice and her lips would quirk faintly at the sides.
In irritation, her lips will stiffen and her brows will lower some.
But before, she always looked irritated.
How, when, and why does the Character lie to others?
Eriea doesn't lie often to her friends or lovers unless its to save their life or to save them from getting hurt.
She's very blunt, straight-forward, to the point. Independent.
Living in the forest, she's learning the necessity of half truths.
How, when, and why does the Character lie to him/herself?
When she wishes to deny something from happening. She'd convince herself that the lie she told was essential.
How and what the Character sings if he/she thinks no one is looking.
Before? She caught herself humming the little tiddlies Achren and she sung at the temple. Very rare.
Now she can be found humming little songs she hears in the camp.
Activities:
What is Character doing at one PM on Sunday? At six PM on Tuesday? At four PM on Friday?
Depends! Eriea tries to be a crucial part to Rhae's camp, helping and working beside his people the best she can. She won't let Rhae talk her out of daily chores the rest of his camp are suppose to do. She will not be pampered! Camp life can be very trying and difficult.
Does Character have a lover, consort or partner?
Yush! Rhaedayel. Her roguish, womanizing, thieving half elf.
And damn them! They've bonded in the typical manner of elves {Gee..and here Eriea wanted to distance herself from her elven nature.. Then she turns arounds and bonds with a man in their manner. Tsk tsk! Married in spirit if not in name}
Three reasons Character is with their consort/lover/partner.
1st reason she is with Rhae? He was her first {and only} lover. The one whom she'd gifted her innocense too. He took his time in introducing the intricasies of loveplay to her, introduced her to her hidden passionate nature. And the roguish thief stole her heart. Plain and simple.
2nd reason she is with Rhae? With him, she is learning a new side of her life. The elven nature, spirit, and soul she was forced to repress due to her Uncle's hatred of elves. She is starting to understand a bit about herself more.
3rd reason she is with Rhae? They have children together. And after the trail they both went through when she was pregnant with Ralemar, his insistances, she decided it was where she belonged. {After a long terrible headache for poor Rhae.}
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?
1st reason: He's a theif and she's a holy paladin of sorts. Hehe.
2nd reason: They are complete opposites {Opposites attract in this one}
Rhae is free to express (to a point) what he's feeling, enjoying life as a hole, and loves the joy that life could bring. He lives his life to the fullest without any regrets or worries. Plus he's a very sensual person, enjoying the sport between a woman and man.
Eriea is very closed mouth, remote, denying who and what she is. She is forever hiding the true person beneath the skin. Opinionated to a fault. Her personality always clashes with Rhae {Which makes their making up all the more sweet}
Does Character have friends? As above, tell one thing about the friend that Character doesn't know?
Yes, a few. She's slowly becoming friends with Rhae's people especially Rose. She and Rose have gone a long way together.
Then there is her half sylvan, half moon elf friend Achren {A Daily pain in the arse for Rhae.}
Does Character daydream? What about? Does Character worry? What about?
Before puberty hit, she and Achren use to daydream about their parents. Once womanhood struck, they did not have time for such fancies. Eriea had decided never to marry or enjoy the pleasures between men and women much to her friend Ren's dismay.
Eriea's constantly worrying over her lover's welfare. Rhae's in a dangerous trade. He's already wanted in two elven cities: Sanctuary and Exodus. There is a worry, a faint one that Rhae tries to knock out of her head, but she worries a little of the day Rhae's affections would pass on another. Then there is the worry that their children would inherit her empathy.
Possession:
Number of keys on his/her keychain. What do they open?
The only keys in Eriea's possession are the ones to her many estates left to her by her mother and uncle.
One thing in Bedroom Character would be sure to point out to a visitor.
Eriea and Rhae's bedroom so to speak is interesting since they live in a tent. To one side lays Rhae's bed of furs in which the two sleep daily. A firepit in the center to warm their home. The wrapped up bundles off to the side that holds their belongings {Where she keeps her Warriors of the Moon garb and weapon.}
Five possessions or talents the person treasures but never uses.
{Blank! Gotta think!}
Most oft-worn shoes. Longest-owned piece of clothing.
It would be ridiculous to wear her Warrior's boots due to their coloring in the forest, Eriea has adopted to the boots that Rose had given her long ago and the sandals she wears at the camp.
Longest owned piece of clothing? That would probably be her Warrior's uniform that she keeps tucked away in her lover's tent. She had to adapt to the living in the forest, the breeches, tunics, and ordinary gowns suitable to living in a wooded area.
History:
What does Character think now of Mom and Dad?
All Eriea knows of her parents are from mouth of old servants, hints from a worn journal belonging to her noble mother. There is still so much she doesn't know about her family, who she is. She learned much of whom her mother was..but her father is still a vague notion that none would tell her about.
Three childhood events that Character thinks shaped his/her personality.
The death of her mother brought Eriea into her uncle's harsh life. Mollern hated elves, hated the love affair his sister had with a half elf and the child it produced. He'd never approved of their match and disapproved strongly of the child they had. Eriea was a constant reminder of the elf who tainted his sister. He forced Eriea to hide her carefree, compassionate elven spirit and soul until she was the emotionless person all knew. The serious minded person she's still known to be to this day.
Mollern's death took her to Celekera that taught Eriea she had a purpose in life. She no longer had to listen to the man's ravings.
Then when she was sixteen, a village close to the temple was ransaked by marauders and the temple were caring for those less fortunate causing Eriea's empathy to awaken.
Character's first love and how it ended (if it did). Tell me one heartbreaking deatil, too.
Her first love? Well I can assure you, it hasn't ended. Rhae is and always will be Eriea's first and only love.
Their relationship has been rocky. Once she thought Rhae was going to toss her to the side, so she left only to find out she was carrying his child.. She was content in knowing she held a piece of Rhae, even though he didn't want her {or so she told herself} with her always. That's what you get for evasdropping.
The last time Character cried was when?
Eriea rarely cries. The only insistances that she's cried was when she ran to the Matron Mother about her empathy. Another time was when she found the ruins of Celekera. Her pregnancies..and the loss of her fourth child {second son} when he was stolen hours after birth.
The best unexpected thing that will happen to Character today.
Hard to tell
Least Favorites:
Celebrity (or person of authority). Food. Thing on TV (if applicable). Place Character has been.
The only person that Eriea hates is her formal weaponcraft's instructor Azulous. She learns of his hand in Celekera's distruction, his hand in the theft of her son Serpent, and the man's greed and hatred to the happiness she's gathered in life.
The hatred over rides her feelings towards her mother's cousin Delitah.
Thing about own behavior. Thing about own body.
She wishes she could be more like Rhae and Achren in personality than the serious-somber woman she is.
Empathy..its a part of her right?
Other:
What does Character really want, though he/she doesn't think about it?
Before it was security and family love. But now she just wants her family to be happy, that her lover would always be safe from harm or the hangman's noose.
Come up with three questions you'd ask about Character and then have Character answer them.
Character's full name. First. Middle. Surname. Does Character have any nicknames?
Eriea Lotassel Alqualond. And no, to my knowledge, she does not have any nicknames that I'm aware of unless Rhae, Achren or Rhae's men had given her one. I wouldn't be surprised if she's called Bitch Queen, Ice Queen or the like. To Ren, she's called Erie
Did you decide his/her name before, during, or after answering the previous questions?
Way before! Though I made some adjustments the night before!
