apparitions (medieval tech fantasy/romance)

secondary protagonist/foil (sorta)

cis woman (she/her)

straight

She's a very... Messy person. She's always getting into drama, whether she wants it or not, and always with a different guy depending on the month. She's impulsive and has a short attention span. When she's out of social situations, she has trouble not yelling or getting overly excited or doing things to fidget like chewing her hair (her parents hate it "ur ruining ur hair smh") or cracking her knuckles. When she's around other nobles, though, she can put on a face of superiority and a calm face that has just a hint of malice in it. Because of this, a lot of people regard her as being two-faced, but in reality she's just putting on the affect people want her to put on. She's confused about why people dislike her when she's just doing what they want her to do in public. She falls in and out of love (both platonic and romantic) very easily, and is very convicted in what she believes so a difference of opinion can make or break a relationship. When she loves someone, the relationship burns hot and fast, and at the end of it they likely don't like each other anymore.

She really just wants to find someone she can trust wholly, and open up to about the stuff that's troubling her. She also really wants to beat up at least one (1) annoying "journalist." It's her goal in life.

She's a bit too self centered at times and really feels bad about it but can't seem to stop. She's also a bit of a player, technically, but she also can't really help that she falls in and out of love quickly. When no one else is around, she beats herself up about this stuff quite a bit, but refuses to open up and talk about it with anyone else. As much as she's willing to rush into relationships and be impulsive, she's also scared of genuine long-term commitment.

She's been learning the violin since she was young and has become quite skilled in it. Relatively recently she has taken up both singing and the viel (modern day called the hurdy-gurdy lol funny name yes ik) and she really likes learning music. She genuinely has a knack for it, and sometimes daydreams about being a famous musician. She's also really good at talking fast. That might seem inconsequential to you, but when she's trying to yell whole sentences at someone while they're walking away from her, it comes in handy.

Violin, singing, viel, and occasionally theater (she loves classical plays, but has never found anyone to participate in them with, so just acts out the lead woman's part in her room alone). She's also a huge fan of learning history, and will read almost any history book she can get her hands on, and that's one of the few things she can do for hours without getting distracted.

probably ADHD

She pretty much stays the same throughout the story, it's just her attitudes towards the other characters that change. At some point in the story after breaking up with Ansila, she resolves to try harder to not just leave someone once the honeymoon phase of their relationship is over. You can't see evidence of this "on screen"/in story but she is trying really hard, and silently wants to make amends with Ansila but knows he isn't open to that yet.

N/A

She's pretty focused inward with her opinions, thinking about what will benefit her rather than other people. This doesn't make her evil or uncaring, it just makes her a bit shortsighted. She's grown up with a totally different life to other people, and has a different outlook because of it.

She's a complete atheist, and has a bit of disdain for people that believe in religion. She'll never say it out loud, though, she knows it'll cause a scandal.

Most of her political opinions center on wanting to protect the noble class. She doesn't want anything to happen that would put her way of life in harm's way, because she really doesn't know how to operate in the "real world" and doesn't expect she'll ever learn (or be able to). She doesn't really know what the common man's opinions or concerns are, and she doesn't particularly care because she has bigger concerns. Namely, making sure she isn't seen with her current boyfriend by the tabloid people. Oh god oh no

She is just about the most stereotypical straight girl possible when it comes to men. She likes tall, muscular dudes and it's a miracle she ever went for "lol gay outfit, twink" Ansila in the first place. But you know. It kicks off the entire plot so everyone is thanking u queen.

Her favorite season is summer (primarily august), she likes the heat for some god-forsaken reason.

Her favorite plant is the Mimosa tree because of the pretty flowers and the delicate compound leaves. She also likes ivy.

Her favorite color is deep purple, she likes how royal it makes her feel.

N/A

im sure she has friends but i really havent planned that out yet cause ansila is the mc and uh. yeah.

Ansila for the first third, not really anyone for the rest of the story. She talks to some people and has flings with them, but nothing consistent.

She's starting to get into the period of her life where she wants to move out and do her own thing. She can't quite yet, and is starting to become frustrated with the school and the rules and the fact that she can't run off with every cute new servant boy she meets. She has no siblings, so she's the heir to her family and her parents push her hard because of it.

Ansila for the last two thirds. So, so many dudes, man. She just,,,,,, dates a guy for a couple weeks and gets bored and moves on to someone else. It's a really bad habit (pun intended)

No one, really. She's not as angry with Ansila as he is with her, definitely not to enemy status.

none

N/A

She certainly looks like a noble, that's for certain. She always looks a little bit like she thinks she's better than you. This illusion is usually broken the second she opens her mouth, but first impressions are worth something, right?

She's relatively average. Average height, weight, all that jazz. She has a fairly fast metabolism, so she rarely has to worry about her weight. Her body shape is closest to an inverted triangle, with broad shoulders and a larger bust.

Her face is rounded and innocent-looking at first glance. Her nose is straight and not really small or large. Her eyebrows are arched downwards and her lips are downturned, making her look perpetually a little bit angry. She has slight dimples when she smiles.

Her hair is auburn brown, wavy, and thick. It goes to about her lower waist, and is rarely cut so the ends are a bit uneven. The front of her hair is pushed back but a bit messy. Center parted.

Her eyes are green, and it always feels like she's scrutinizing what you're doing. Her eyes are upturned at the corners, and they're usually narrowed.

just a regular human

She's of a tan skin tone with neutral undertones, to compare her to a race in our world she looks like a lighter-skinned Hispanic person.

She loves long and flowing dresses and showing off wealth through fashion. Red looks good with her skin tone, and she also likes golds and oranges. She usually wears things without sleeves or with short sleeves. For casual wear, she wears a blouse and long skirt, or just a long casual dress. For formal wear she wears floor length dresses, often with handmade details like embroidery or beading. Most days she wears a corset under her clothes (no, corsets aren't torture devices, they were used to support the breasts, please don't perpetuate myths. most people didn't tightlace).

She rarely wears makeup, it's not very in fashion and she just doesn't like the way it looks on her.
She has an alto voice, and a little bit of vocal fry for unknown reasons.

Sometime mid-summer. That's all I know lol

She's always had very high standards put upon her since she was very young. It was hard on her, especially at first, to keep up with her parents' expectations. Soon enough she learned to find a workflow that was good for her, but not without a lot of trial and error. She can be very inattentive at times, especially as a young child, and as such her parents always tried to push her harder than she felt she could. She doesn't resent them for this, because she knows they want the best for her, but it does irk her sometimes.

She was tutored and still is by someone her family hired. She's gotten a more extensive education than most people, and has still forgotten most of it.

She's just starting to properly enter into high society now, and hasn't really had a chance to be a real adult yet. She's working on it.

N/A

Most people just call her Saura. She doesn't really have any nicknames.

Her powers center around the weather, but mostly she just uses lightning, although she can do other stuff.

Her family are high-ranking nobles, meaning they have a lot of sway on the politics of the country and are well-liked. While they aren't the monarchs, they do have connections to them. Saura herself is a bit of a punching bag for tabloids, but that doesn't mean no one listens when she gives an opinion; a lot of people do even if they don't admit it.

She is going to give you physical affection and there's nothing you can do about it. She shows her partner that she loves them by being physically affectionate. Kissing, hugging, cuddling, etc. If she isn't shown physical affection she gets scared that her partner wants to leave her. She's paranoid like that.

technically unemployed

She's 18.
Her name (personal and family) is originally Occitan.

Her first name is just Saura. Family name is first, personal name is second.

She's inspired by the royaltycore playlists side of youtube. Anything that makes me think about ballroom dancing with a guy you want to stab.
