Character

General

Cheerful and spirited, this air-headed young woman tends to downplay her abilities and shine the spotlight on others, rather then herself. Yet, underneath the modesty lies a desire to protect all that gives her hope and the will to carry on: her friends, mentors, and even nature itself. Whether or not she can actually do it is yet to be seen.

Appearance

Taller then the average female Hyur, Kristina's lanky figure and bulky robes belie an hourglass figure with plenty of feminine attributes. Even with the work she gets from her various jobs and the long nature walks she often takes, there's not much muscle to be found on her figure; instead, she has fat, which gives her the curves she often works so hard to hide. Her breasts tend to be her most noticeable aspect, as they are decently large compared to most, and tend to attract plenty of unwanted attention. Another noticeable aspect is her pure white hair and pale skin. When paired with her red eyes, it becomes clear that she is albino. Unlike her bodily attributes, Kristina has embraced this part of herself and makes no effort to hide it, even defining it further by using vibrant red lipstick. She also takes great care with her hair, making sure that it is fully brushed each morning and cutting it herself in order to make sure that it looks presentable. Despite her modesty, Kristina enjoys holding her appearance to very high standards (perhaps a result of her upbringing) and makes sure that she looks her best each morning. To be allowed to brush Kristina's hair should be considered quite a high honor.

Kristina's face lends itself well to showing off emotion, and it's not hard to tell what the girl is thinking at any particular moment. Though she does not lie often, she is prone to enjoying the occasional joke or prank, and always seems bewildered when the quirk of a smile on her lips gives her away completely. It's rare to find her not smiling, actually, and the moments where she has to withhold her natural tendencies are the most telling of her true nature. Though some find her red eyes off-putting, they are truly a window into her soul, and are generally regarded as holding a kind, almost motherly warmth in them despite their color.

For clothing, Kristina tends to gravitate towards robes, dresses, and other clothes that try and hide her curves, or just tend to cover her up in general, being a lover of modesty overall. Though she does enjoy accessories and jewelry, she will absolutely not wear anything in her hair, including hats, and will politely, but fervently, deny any occasion that would require her to have one. She prefers neutral tones in her clothing, though she is not adverse to jewel tones, and above all enjoys a sensible, low-key ensemble. Anything that makes her stand out in a crowd is liable to be given away as a gift to somebody with a more defined flair for the dramatic.

Personality

Kristina, for better or for worse, tends to live most of her life with her head in the clouds. Much as this allows her to see things most miss (a perceptive part of her personality that many don't always notice) and even see into the future (a part that most do), it also tends to end up with her completely overlooking things that she should really be paying attention to. Lost in the expansive dreamworlds inside her mind, Kristina has been known to crash into buildings, furniture, other people, and even dangerous monsters or traps, though somehow the careful intervention of passer-by or even nature itself keeps her out of trouble. Kristina also overlooks sarcasm, innuendo and lies with a blissful innocence that would put an angel to shame, leading to numerous near abductions and more then a few disappointed males who mistook her cheerful smiles and continued conversation for interest. The girl maintains that her continued safety could be attributed to a lucky star, and some can't help but wonder if that's the only reason she hasn't ended up dead yet.

Despite her propensity for crashing into things, Kristina also has an intense desire to help others. She takes every opportunity possible to assist those who need it, whether or not they request it, and will usually not take no for an answer. Her tendency towards empathy also often leads her to become invested in situations she would normally never touch, and as such, one can sometimes find Kristina balancing atop high objects to fetch a prized cat, or in the midst of a furious battle, flinging spells for no reason other then the tears of a distressed adventurer. Kristina also seems to share a language with children and other younglings, so it's no wonder that they often flock to the woman's side for comfort or simply a playmate. Patient and understanding, Kristina rarely ever becomes annoyed and can tolerate even the most loud and rambunctious child. Bullies and 'mean' children, however, are quickly corrected under an uncommonly stern glare, and more often then not, the receiver of the glare shapes up in no time.

Above all, Kristina is a kind person. Kindness is the value she holds foremost in her heart, and judges others by accordingly. To offend somebody else is her greatest sin, and, in turn, to outright insult, degrade, or otherwise hurt the things Kristina holds dear is the one way to truly wound a person who normally seems to be completely unaffectable in an utterly upbeat and outgoing way. Granted, those who would do such a thing are never heard of again, but that's probably because they just felt bad... right?

Relationships

♥ Romantic Interest    ♥ Sexual Desire    ♥ Platonic Love     ● Good Standing    ● Neutral Standing    ● Poor Standing

Friends & Acquaintances ● Isep-O-Keran - Although the Padjal is often condescending and unnecessarily demeaning in her teachings, Kristina will never stop being grateful to 'Miss Isep'. It was her that took Kristina under her metaphorical wing and began teaching her the basics of being a white mage, despite her repeated claims that she was only doing it 'as a joke'. Since then, her harsh trials and dangerous lessons have made Kristina much stronger then the shy and spoiled brat she was when she started... but there's still a long way to go. ● Silent & Sonorous Moon - The twin sisters that run the business that Kristina works for. She's thankful to both of them for giving her a job, and does her best to keep their shop running smoothly by running errands and lifting heavy objects. Secretly, they intimidate the seven hells out of her. ● Lilira Lira - One of her co-workers at the store. Kristina thinks Lilira to be one of the smartest people she knows, and often comes to the Lalafel for advice and guidance when a situation escapes her. This is often. ● Oliver Delvants - Kristina met this cheerful fisherman through Jajaku, and though he doesn't quite understand her distaste of meat, the two seem to share a passion for life! She took his offer for the two to help each other on their journeys quite seriously, and she hopes they can become close friends.

Enemies & Rivals ● Jajaku Fafaku - One of her co-workers. Though the Lalafel does a number of things that Kristina doesn't approve of, she tries her best to see through that to his true character. It's not much better. She holds out hope that he's truly a 'good person' underneath it all, and will one day prove himself a real hero.
