Physical Description

Lorilia has a very doll-like quality to her looks. She has soft shoulder length pale blonde hair that has a very wispy quality to it. A few stray wisps frame her soft round face. Her features are nearly perfectly proportioned. Her nose is button small. Her lips are just large enough to catch the eye. The only odd thing about her face is her eyes. Large and round, her eyes are dark chocolate in color rather than the expected blue or green. Her fair complextion adds to the drama of her dark eyes. She is short in stature and comes comfortably close to just an inche or two under eye level for most men. She has delicious curves, whether by nature or some device she'll never tell, and shows them off to her advantage when she can. Her clothes are the height of fashion. Color and cloth come together in the latest and most flattering cuts on her form. One day she may be in green, another she may be playing off her light coloring with various shades of pink and blue. If vanity shows then Lorilia is going to show brightly in her wonderful clothing.

Personality

Lorilia is a physically gorgorous young woman and has been groomed to remain this way. If looks could get you everywhere in life then Lorilia would have it made. Sadly, to be a Lady Holder, you need a bit of charm. And tact. And compassion for other humans at the very least. When they were handing out kindness and sympathy for her own species, Lorilia not only stood behind the door, she skipped the line all together and moved right on to sarcasism and got a double helpping. She's just not one of life's nature leaders, speakers or even apparently at all fond of being around people. She finds fault with just about everyone and everything. The good news is that she's a completely unbias complainer. She'll find fault in a Lord just as much as any resident, crafter or blooded. She doesn't really hold back when she thinks someone is being stupid. She just talks and generally it gets her into trouble. She's used to it though and, for someone who looks quite vane and girlish, she takes her punishment for being rude pretty well. She also has a very odd streak of specialized interest in farming and other crafts. She is mostly interested in animal husbandry and food production. She likes beasts and vegetables. They don't talk back and are good with klah.

Background History

Lorilia was the first and most anticipated child of the Lord and Lady of Southern Boll Hold. Her birth was celebrated by a Hold currently in a boon time. As she grew older her adorable infant looks changed to a beautiful toddler. A beautiful toddler whose first word was 'No!'. She was nice to look at but had a habit of fighting with others and glaring, a very pretty glare, at people from a far. Her mother and father were very pleased with their first child regardless and three turns after Lorilia came Enara. She, unlike her blonde sister, came out with a shocking stock of bright red hair that led to accusations about her parentage. These questions of her mother's fideality would cause a rift between her parents for thirteen turns. During this time Lorilia was favored by both her parents while Enara was left mostly in the care of nannies.

Various half-siblings, all never truly acknowledged by Lorilia's father but most marked by the pale blonde hair of the line, were born as Lorilia grew older. By the time she was eight she had more engagement offers than a herder had fur on his canine. Her mother and father sorted through them, most from minor Holders, until they came to Igen's offer. The Holder of Igen had a son three turns Lorilia's junior. The little boy had good blood, enough money to support a beautiful wife, and, most importantly to her mother, good enough looks to produce grandchild just as beautiful as Lorilia. The engagement was signed into being on Lorilia's tenth birthingday. There was a feast and the children had to play together for the day but otherwise little changed for the pampered young girl. She continued to live with her family her mother finally started to train her as a Lady Holder. Little did she know the task she had set herself.

Lorilia had no interest at all in being proper despite, or maybe because, of her upbringing. She didn't want to be nice to strangers or stop glaring. Her mother spent four turns trying to convince her that being proper was better than being Lorilia. In the end the woman had to settle for just teaching her daughter to be quiet and at least smile a little. At fifteen she was sent off to live with her future husband's family. At first things went well enough. Lorilia smiled, said little and bit her tongue a lot. Some weeks later she finally exploded as her future husband, only twelve, tried to impress her with his burping skills. She was not impressed. From that moment on the two never got along. They fought often, played pranks on one another and spent the remaining six months of her visit torturing each other. She finally left and the Lady Holder of Igen politely said that Lorilia was not Lady Holder material. Shocked, Lorilia's mother turned her back on her daughter and welcomed her other daughter back into the fold with open arms.

Enara, hated by her father (or at least the man her mother claimed was her father), took Lorilia's place and quickly took a shine to being in the spot light. Her success also finally brought her mother and supposed father back together again as Lord Borel, her supposed father, was ready to forgive in order to get more children. For her part, Lorilia backed out of the lime light of her mother's attention gratefully. She didn't realize she was stepping right into her father's plans. With Igen no longer an option, Lord Borel decided his first child needed a better match. He would ship her to his sister Reliana at Ista Hold. Two betrovals(both to younger sons of wealthy traders that she could not stand) and another daughter later, Borel would finally accept that his beloved first daughter was not the perfect young woman he thought of her. He turned to his youngest child, a brown haired but relatively pretty child, as his next chance at finding a profitable marriage. Lorilia would be, much to her joy, forgotten in the marriage mart and allowed some freedom for few turns.

Lorilia was twenty-three when her mother finally had a son. Borel was overjoyed and gave each of his children, and now one grandchild, presents. Enara got a comb set. Her daughter Seria got a large collection of wooden toys. Borel's next child, Relara, received a new bed and the baby got as many gifts as an infant didn't need. For Lorilia, Borel decided on a special gift. First she got as many new clothes as her rooms could hold and a large firelizard egg. Then she got a one-way ticket to her aunt Caeral's home of Telgar Hold. This began the first of two jumps to different siblings of her father's. Each thought they were the ones receiving a gift, a marriagable beautiful girl whose father was rich and giving money away if they could get her married off properly. Sadily, Lorilia refused all of her suitors. Finally, two turns down the line, Lorilia would be dumped upon her very stubborn aunt Melea at Lyra Cove Hold. The woman, the third and last of Lorilia's siblings, was determined to marry the girl off, if she had to marry her to a crafter or a trader!

Firelizard Info

Name: Ross
Color: Brown

Description

Brown Ross is a canine in firelizard form. He happily follows his mistress around and, strangely even more canine-like, brings her sticks and other things to throw. He's ever happy, or as happy as a firelizard can seem, and just otherwise seems to have no braincells. At all. He doesn't carry messages, he can't be convinced to chase away annoying children and, even worse in his mistress' mind, he seems to enjoy any and all interaction with men. He does have one rather likeable trait. He sings. His firelizard hum is a soft sound that is pleasing to most people's ears. A russet sort of brown coats his entire medium sized form, from tail tip to muzzle. That is to say the reddish tone to his otherwise nuetral brown hide seems to give him almost a 'coarse' texture. It's as though he's always dirty despite being a very clean little brown.
