Standing at five fulms, her weight a secret (hundred eighty-five ponzes, but don't tell her that), Dahlia is an otherwise plain looking and soft-figured girl. Wide hips and bust are usually well covered with her humble sense of fashion, but she lacks self-consciousness about her body at the least. Her almond shaped eyes are odd-colored, one a grassy green and the other an earthy brown-- a trait she shares with her fraternal twin, who has honey brown and deep blue. Frankly, her weight and lack of athleticism is due to her lifestyle of perpetual reading and writing as well as her indulgent tastes. Not that it bothers her, until she's required to do strenuous physical activity.
Despite having a porcelain complexion, Dahlia learned she tans quite easily in sunny regions for at least a short time before she starts to burn. So on occasion, Dahlia has a little smidge more color to her, but pale is her natural state. Born a dark brunette, she sometimes takes to coloring her hair black or, every once in a while, a copper red to match her red-headed twin. Aside from obviously little blemishes here and there, given that nobody is perfect, Dahlia has a small beauty mark under her lower lip.
On the subject of beauty, Dahlia does make daily use of naturally made cosmetics very sparingly-- just eyeliner and a sheer red over her otherwise humble lips. Sometimes she will cover scars on her arms and the marks on the sides of her face with foundation, but as time passes, she cares less and less about hiding those.
Scars & Markings: Faded scars on her thighs and arms, the red 'tattoos' on the side of her face are actually caused by scarification.
Voice: Soft-spoken and sincere-sounding for the most part, stuttering every once in a while when bashful or hesitant with her words. It makes it all the more jarring when she does raise her voice, showing she's got quite the set of lungs. She holds a very faint Ishgardian accent in her speech.
Clothing: Usually modest and subdued, neutral or dark colors with the occasional accent here and there. Mostly dresses, but will sometimes wear slacks or shorts for mobility's sake (or the weather). Prefers to wear boots or pumps with subtle heels. When needed to dress formal, will usually go for femininity with ribbons and lace-- or just gothic lolita for simplicity's sake, if you will.

■ "I see that dark haired girl's been around libraries, a lot. Reading a lot of books on the occult..."- Twelve-Fearing Woman

■ "I hear she has a twin sister around. They're both a bit off. Always have been, but they're good girls."- Sultana's Breath Tenant
■ "Does she have a third sister? Because I swear a young woman with a similar face came to my office once to publish some trashy romance novel. A waste of my time, but she at least paid her dues generously."- Picky Publisher
■ "---"
◢ Rare Rumors -Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using!
■ "For summers, that girl's sister constantly spewed blasphemy! It's little wonder why their house is overcompensating for such shameful children."- Ishgardian Noble
■ "I swear on the Matron's bountiful bosom, that... that book of hers tried to utter words! Of all things... is that what she's always hiding bundled up in cloths?"-
Anonymous Arcanist
■ "Creepy. I've seen her muttering madly to herself near some ruins. I think she was feverishly looking for something, but she spoke as if to somebody else despite being alone. Surely, she's mad. Wouldn't go near her."- Cautious Adventurer

Personal RP Limits
■ I will play mature content and themes (violence, sexuality, drug / alcohol use) as long as they're logical in a plot-driven encounter. Coarse and excessive language. Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment. Most walk-up encounters.
■ Ask about long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment or rape plots. For good reason, I am very picky about such kind of subjects in a plot.
■ I won't play permanent character death.
Disclaimer
■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell, letting me know. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion.
