Full Name: Joanna Starlyn
Prefers To Be Called: Jo, Joanna
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Class: Rider
Creature: I guess we'll see!
Physical Appearance:
Joanna is tall and slender for her age, already about 5'10", but although her height would seem intimidating, it makes her look elegant despite the way she carries herself with a non-aggressive, rather diffident air. A very desirable height for any woman, not too short and not too tall.
Her skin is a very pale shade from living under the shelter of the trees for much too long, accentuated by the dark brown of her very short, pixie-cut hair, and the deep brown of her eyes.
She is usually found wearing a black cloak over a corseted tunic, along with simple pants and belt, and tall black boots. A black and silver charm in the shape of a swooping swallow hangs from a leather cord around her neck. She also carries around a silver dagger, her most valuable possession, which she inherited from her grandmother, even though she hasn't encountered the need to use it yet.
Personality:
Not a very outgoing or trusting person, Joanna is very independent and seems to only truly enjoy the presence of her animals. There is her horse, a bay, rather bold mare named Silantiel, and her cat, Kicia [say KEE-cha] a long-haired calico that she saved as a young she-cat and has become very close with. She also has a menagerie of other, smaller animals.
She is an observer in all aspects. Much of her time is spent studying the world around her and thinking philosophically about life. More of a listener than a talker, though she is capable of conversing with various people respectfully when needed, she also has a way of being able to tell people's feelings and private thoughts by carefully observing their body language.
Joanna has endured the hardships of serious illness. Although she has recovered greatly since then, she is still unable to fight and run very well so she instead devoted herself to becoming a fighter on horseback and a scholar. Silantiel is her greatest devotion, companion, and protection, saving her in times of danger for their great bond.
Her life is quite humdrum, usually consisting of studies and miscellaneous chores rather than physical labor and her favorite past-time is sketching. She is still trying to find her calling, but is pretty sure that it isn't here. She craves excitement and adventure all her life.
Extras:
She is not that strong or fast, but is skillful with a bow and arrow, and on horseback. She is quick-witted and also practices swordplay in a style that uses swift calculated motions rather than powerful hacking to disarm opponents.
Picture(optional): Might make one :\
Short Sample Post:
The sun filtered through the leaves high above as Silantiel trotted along on the springy moss of the forest floor. Today was obviously sunny, but instead of the bright yellow that was surely being enjoyed back at the lake, only a few shafts of misty green light managed to reach the forest floor.
Can I finish the sample later? I just wanted to finally post the actual character XD
