Chaie Rosespear
Hail to Earth / Hail to the Sun / whose rays illuminate all things. / Turn your eyes, look down, / see this shattering woman, / before she sets her bloody hands / may it all perish, / crash down in ruins. Medea by Euripides [text 1260], translation by Ian Johnston
[edit]
Dark of skin and thin of arm, Chaie stands at five fulms and six ilms; way below average height for the average Highlander. Stress, malnutrition and dehydration suffered by Frida Rosespear caused her child to be born with many health deficiencies. A virtually inexistant immune system causes the girl to sicken with extreme ease- and it is visible.
Dry, almost mottled-looking skin usually coaxed with shea oils, obvious dark circles, blossoming in purples and dark blues, concealed with makeup; dull, unruly hair held up with cloths. Chaie carries the smell of lilies, sourced from a small cologne bottle she carries all the time, to hide the imminent smell of illness that she is constantly paranoid about emitting. Never is she seen without her family's emblem facepaint- one she proudly wears, applying the white thick, allowing the contrast between her skin and the paint to maximize the obviousness of the emblem. As for her bone structure, her jaw is soft-lined; her lips are plump and the most notable part of her face, and she is naught often seen without rouge on. Her nose is a bit thicker than average, and her eyes are thin and slightly upward-going. Despite being a very thin and small child on her childhood, as of a couple of years she has gained a bit more weight, something she is undoubtedly glad about. Rounded hips and quite full thighs accompany a soft stomach. Her muscle definition is practically inexistant, and it is quite easy for almost anyone to beat her in a hypothetical fight. Aspects That Stand Out:
Chaie is, in many aspects, a very contrasting person; while there is a sheer passion deep inside her soul, the body she was born in shows naught an inch of that fire, instead providing only a flickering, fragile flame. This, of course, did not befit the standards of Highland ideality and beauty, resulting in a deep grounding bitterness and rage.
She is quick to burn out, and as such, much of her energy is stuck within her, forcing her to keep her emotions to herself. Thus, she is secretive, and spins from periods of self-pity and self-rejection with ease. Prone to intense envy and wrath, she is not one to place her mind above her heart, and when scorned, she will almost never forgive with ease. Very supersticious and negative in her thoughts, she can be described as a 'bitter' person by one who sees into her thought currents. While a deeply caring person to those she loves and cherishes, she can be a bit of a 'smother', and can quickly overwhelm with her manners of showing affection, and protection. Overbearing and overnurturing. Despite her undeniable proneness to negativity and jealousy, she is a very strong sympathizer- and holds a very, very strong sense of condolence; a naturally nurturing person who wishes the best for people and is wholeheartedly prepared to accompany them along the way. She is passionate, and easy to befriend; thoughtful, loyal, and eager to help. Likes her job as a healer, as she appreciates being able to improve people's lives without burning herself out in the process; she often likes to check on past patients to see how they are doing. However, she would rather take on adventuring in a job such as thaumaturgy- yet the danger upon her health would be far too great. Firm opposer of the phrase 'the ends justify the means', and very hesistant to cooperate with anyone who fares from Garlean lands. She is a firm believer of karmic processes, and avoids doing hurtful deeds. Quite clever, yet easy to become distracted during lectures and academic purposes. Loves cooking, but can't afford the costs often.
