Bio

I am Amaranth, witch of the wilds. Through shadow and legend I walk, haunting mortals like you. So... Are you a vulture , I wonder? A scavenger poking amidst a corpse whose bones have been long since cleaned? Or merely an intruder, come into this darkspawn filled page of mine in search of... a bio?

All these characters are great. I'm excited!
Heck yeah!
An even gender balance would probably be a good thing, buuuut I'm pretty bad with multiple characters or I'd offer to play another :s
Thanks! :D





Name:
Nicolette Le Blanc

Nickname:
Nicky

Age:
17

Gender:
Female

Sexual Orientation:
Bisexual

Appearance:
Nicky prefers to not put a whole lot of thought or effort into her appearance. Her cream-coloured hair is usually messy or tied into a sloppy ponytail or sidetail. She is usually drowsy due to late night painting or photography sessions or just general restlessness and it reflects in her blank, tired stare. Makeup is usually not on the top of her priorities though she is still considered pretty without it. When she is deep in thought her expression does not change from its usual stare. Though her expression can be considered harsh at times she is for the most part, well-meaning. Nicky enjoys over-the-shoulder baggy shirts and jackets because they are fairly low-effort.

Physically, she stands at about 5'5 or 5'4 (about 166 cm) with soft blue eyes and a slight-but-not-stick-thin build.

Personality:
Nicolette is a... confusing girl. On one hand she is smart and a talented visual artist. She enjoys capturing still images of life and the world, mostly through photography and painting. On the other hand she appears to have trouble expressing herself through most ways normal people would do so, namely spoken words. She isn't mute and can speak perfectly fine, no, her troubles start in her brain and end with her mouth. In a word, she is obfuscatory. She has had trouble applying herself at school in the past and it's not really clear if Nicolette is purposefully confusing or if she cannot help it. It was a hotly debated subject among the teachers and staff in the past whether or not she is lazy or something deeper.

Her methods of communication seem to vary between moods. Sometimes she is perfectly lucid and is capable of voicing her thoughts. Other times she slides into stream-of-consciousness, almost babbling. Her thoughts becoming tangled word-knots only the most abstract of thinkers can decipher. Certain days she appears highly motivated and takes breathtaking photographs of life unfolding around her. Yet on other days she takes blurry photos of nothing or paints meaningless (to the observer at least) art. In her moments of overt lucidity she enjoys deadpan humour, while other times she seems to think certain, arbitrary things are amusing.

Unsurprisingly she struggles in almost every core class but art and doubly so if group work or logical thinking is involved. Most classmates treat her respectfully but keep her at an arm's length, wary of her odd nature and fey disposition. Even teachers have trouble understanding what exactly is wrong (if anything) with her. Her favourite animal is the Spotted Garden Eel, though she is characteristically paradoxical about her reasons for that.

Biography:
Nicolette was born into a fairly well-to-do family, although not particularly well off compared to some of the families that had children attending Oxbridge Academy. Her parents noted her fondness for painting from a young age and supported and nurtured her talent until she eventually discovered her second (and arguably most passionate) love: Photography. However, she also showed a distinct trouble with words. She wasn't ineloquent, she just had trouble stringing together words in a fashion that both properly expressed her feelings and also made grammatical sense.

Her parents simply assumed she was precocious and enjoyed word games as much as she enjoyed photography and painting, but it seemed a consistent trifle and one that didn't simply vanish as Nicky matured. She had trouble making friends throughout school due to her jumbled manner of communication and trouble expressing herself in ways that weren't art. Nicolette was not totally friendless though, she had a few friends who found her endearing and they established some understanding.

Nicolette was granted admittance to Oxbridge Academy mostly on account of her remarkable skill for photography and not-insignificant talent at painting as well. Though she has not disappointed in those respects, she has been a lacklustre student in most other respects, near failing most other classes and frequently falling asleep on benches and in the grass around the campus. She seems driven by whimsy or laziness or perhaps some combination of the two. Either way, the staff have found it unacceptable and placed her into Room 405 in hopes of helping her to find an academic and social drive.

I look forward to it!
Have him come over and join the "teach the convicts how to shoot the enemy and not themselves" party :D
I don't want to post too frequently but I figured a chance for some character interaction shouldn't be missed :)
