Viola Valdis • 21 •
September 5th • female •
Heterosexual • The Old Lands
Appearance: A sprightly young woman of 5 feet and 6 inches. Viola isn't particularly tall, but she has a tendency to light up a room, to command attention wherever she goes. She doesn't believe that to be the case, but others can attest to her captivating charm. It's not that she's exceptionally pretty - she's more athletic than curvaceous and she keeps her dark hair cut at the shoulders. She's tough and plain, but perhaps it's the constant grin she wears on her face, or that ever-present spark of determination in her eyes, or maybe it's simply the spring in her step and the confidence in the way she moves. Viola constantly aims to be the best she can be, and it shows not only in her actions, but in how she presents herself to the people around her.
Personality:Touched by death. A sickly child since birth, Viola was treated like a porcelain princess for the majority of her young life. She detested this and often pushed boundaries to better herself in anyway she could. She was going to die young, she heard her parents, she heard the local healers and priests - her fate had been etched in stone the moment she was born, the stars had granted her a faulty deck of cards and she would have to play with the hand she was dealt for the rest of her supposedly short life.
It was unacceptable.
Stubborn to a fault, Viola is not one to watch things unfold in silence. She takes matters into her own hands and believes that life is, to put it simply, cause and effect. Certain actions lead to certain outcomes, fate is cruel and allowing things to just be, it's utterly foolish.
Viola believes that with hardwork and determination, a person can change the course of their life. It's the reason she strives to be a cut above the rest, to be the best version of herself she can be. An obvious perfectionist who abhors quitters and those with weak willpower, Viola can be relentless when it comes to pushing people onward, however, she also knows what it’s like to hit rock bottom. The young woman isn't heartless, and knows when to spur people on and when to just listen and be there for someone.
