To say she was ecstatic was an understatement. Eulalia could barely contain her excitement throughout her entire trip. Hua'mu was such a beautiful country to travel through; she couldn't pull her eyes off of the wonderfully crafted buildings as she went further into the city. She was probably going to be late to the party, with all the times she'd stopped to admire the scenery. With that thought crossing her mind, Eulalia finally forced herself to focus the rest of the way to the masquerade hall. She tightly gripped her small suitcase and continued on her way. She would be meeting so many people here, from so many other countries. She couldn't pass up the opportunity to show off some of her creations again!

Eulalia still couldn't quite believe it. Her and her family had climbed their way up to their social status in their country, so to receive an invitation to such a noble gathering was truly an honor. The red-head tied her hair up with her own metallic hairpieces, resembling vines that kept her hair out of her face. She picked out her prettiest red dress, adorned with gold trim and a flowery design flowing through the gown. And of course, she had to make her own mask for this party too! Eulalia went all out–crafting a light metal mask that just covered her eyes and her nose. Its color matched the gold of her dress, and included an intricate design of swirling vines to match her hair pieces. It even had carved flower petals sticking out from the tips of the mask. She hadn't been wearing it yet, so she could better take in her surroundings as she traveled, but now that she approached the front entrance, Eulalia slid the mask down over her face.

After greeting the front guards, showing her invitation, and being welcomed into the foyer, Eulalia immediately began to scan her surroundings. There were definitely a lot of people here already. Nobody she recognized yet–but that was probably a good thing. New contacts to establish, and new friends to make! Just by looking at their attire, she could tell that this was a gathering of all the different nations. Eulalia couldn't help but feel slightly intimidated at this point now. She was confident when it came to sharing her work on business trips, but this was no business trip. How should she even start to introduce herself and mingle with the other party-goers? "Maybe I should have taken some more lessons from mother before I came here..." she thought aloud to herself with a nervous smile. After all, her mother definitely had more people skills when it came to interactions such as this. Eulalia was always more focused on the physical part of her aspiring career...

Shaking her head in an attempt to dismiss her nerves, Eulalia stepped further into the party, continuing to take in all of her surroundings: the beauty of the building's architecture, the lovely dressed guests, the fancy decorations hung around the room and along the tables. She stopped near a vacant table, setting her suitcase in one of the chairs before she turned to look over the party again, attempting to skim through the crowd to find a friendly face–although the masks made that a little more difficult. There was an internal debate in her head on whether she should just approach someone and introduce herself. But again... how?

「 ❤ “The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work!” 」

NAME: Eulalia Sideris
NICKNAMES: Lalia, Lally
AGE: 21
GENDER: Female
BLOOD TYPE: Cheesecake
NATIONALITY: An’elle ; Kingdom of Sweets
OCCUPATION: Inventor / Engineer
SEXUALITY: Asexual / Panromantic
SPEECH COLOR: #FF618C

HAIR COLOR │ Strawberry Red
EYE COLOR │ Jade Green
HEIGHT │ 5’1”
WEIGHT │ 120 lbs.

APPEARANCE:
Eulalia is–at first glance–a small, sweet-looking woman. Her wardrobe when out & about ranges from formal business attire to fancier skirts and dresses. She always wears a metal chained pocketwatch–one that she handmade herself. Occasionally she will mix and match some of her other metallic trinkets or custom jewelry into her outfits. Her attire is the complete opposite when working, where she wears anything easier to move in and nothing that has any long or hanging pieces that could get caught up in the machinery.

Although lacking in height, her body is relatively toned due to the physical work she does on a daily basis. She keeps her hair short, never quite reaching her shoulders, in order for her to work safely, though she still tends to tie it back & out of the way anyway. She is hereditarily fair-skinned, but occasionally tans lightly from working outdoors.

PERSONALITY:
• Curious • Intellectual • Kind-Hearted
• Peaceful • Sensible • Hard-working
• Determined • Outspoken • Excitable • Stubborn

HOBBIES:
• Reading • Studying • Exercising
• Experimenting • Discussing ideas

SPECIAL SKILLS:
• Woodworking • Metalworking
• Blacksmithing • Steamwork

STRENGTHS:
Eulalia has always had a high sense of self-esteem, not letting others’ thoughts about her affect her feelings or hinder her wants. She has become very good at physical work, as it is important for her trade. Artistic skills have also been something she has excelled at, and continues to use to this day; drawing blueprints, designing projects, etc. Eulalia has learned a lot from taking things apart and putting them back together, as well as failed past projects–she sees them as learning experiences and enjoys the puzzle-solving aspects of it all.

WEAKNESSES:
Eulalia tends to put her work before anything else. This sometimes leads to her forgetting to take proper care of herself when she gets too indulged in a new project, and has led to her growing ill in the past. Her eagerness to share her work can cause her to talk continuously, which some may consider an annoyance. This also makes it hard for her to approach anyone, as she doesn't always know what to talk about besides work. She doesn’t pay much attention to politics, despite how much she likes to speak with those from other nations, so she tends to be behind the times with current events.

LIKES:
• Machinery • Traveling • Sightseeing
• Praise • Pastries • Pastel colors
• Puzzles • Dancing

DISLIKES:
• Hot weather • Spicy food • Rust
• Unfair treatment • Politics
• Being restricted • Disappointing others

BIOGRAPHY:
Eulalia was raised in a high-class family, but one that had earned its status through the work done by her father, Ergon Sideris’ craftsmanship. He ran a successful business chain of different types of crafts: woodwork, weaponsmithing, jewelry making and the like, which brought in a hearty income for his family. Lalia’s mother, Nidia Sideris, took care of the paperwork and dealing with people, especially when making sales. She was the people-person of the family.

Lalia watched both of her parents closely, learning specific skills from each of them. Although initially her mother wanted for her to follow in her own footsteps–to be like the other noble women and one day take her spot–she could tell that her daughter was taking more of a liking to the physical work and the creations of her father. Thus she allowed Lalia to begin learning the same skills once she was old enough. Eulalia had no issue with playing the part of a lady, and would still follow her mother’s lessons. After all, she liked that part too. But she truly wished to work, and to create.

The young crafter studied hard in school in order to better understand the trade she was getting into. Lalia would always make her way to the top of her class, no matter the subject. She was soon well-known amongst the kids as the girl who was breaking an archetype; and the other, more lady-like girls would tend to tease her for choice of career. None of this ever seemed to bother Eulalia. She was strong-willed and kept her mind set on her dreams. Although, this led to it being hard for her to stop talking about them when she actually did meet someone who was genuinely interested in her or her work.

Years & years of practicing and experimenting honed Lalia’s skills enough for her to join her father on business trips to sell their creations to the surrounding nations. Earning her own money, and establishing a name for herself, she soon branched off to open her own workshop within the city, where she continues to spread the good name of the Sideris family’s work. She has taken a liking to the traveling part of the job as well, and focuses a lot on those business trips to take their inventions around the world. Eulalia also uses this as an opportunity to learn about the technology from other areas to mix with her own, as well as figuring out each nation’s needs and how she could make something to help them.

TRIVIA:
• Eulalia has forged a range of weapons and occasionally likes to try sparring with them to learn how to use them. She has taken a liking to the rapier.
• Although she is very work-focused, she still tends to have a soft spot for anything cute and pretty.

|- Little Solace: Chapter One: Black Frost -|

『 ❝You really shouldn’t put that much faith in me.❞ 』

➽NAME: Aldric Sousa
➽AGE: 20
➽GENDER: Male
➽BIRTHDAY: Winter 17
➽OCCUPATION: Barista
➽SEXUALITY: Panromantic / Bisexual
➽SPEECH COLOR: #FFCB00

➽APPEARANCE:
➼HAIR COLOR │ Golden Blonde
➼EYE COLOR │ Turquoise Blue
➼HEIGHT │ 5’2”
➼WEIGHT │ 115 lbs.
➼Aldric’s hair is medium length, coming down to about his chin. It is very fluffy, seemingly messy at times, no matter how much care he puts into it.
➼He is pale-skinned, despite all the time he spends outdoors on some days. He tends to get sunburned in the Spring and Summer.
➼He has a very small build, both in height and muscle mass. He has some scarring along his body, presumably from the battle with the Dark Mage.
➼He wears a silver dog-tag necklace at all times, as well as a pair of over-the-ear headphones (these hang around his neck when he’s not using them). He prefers long-sleeves as well as hoodies and scarves–unless it’s the dead of summer, of course.

➽ABILITIES:
➼Aerokinesis – the psychic ability to manipulate air molecules and wind currents, granted by his Celestial. Aldric can command the air around him with his mind. This ranges from whipping up the wind, making himself or others float above the ground, and even cutting off someone’s ability to breathe.
➼Enhanced Reflexes – also known as cat-like reflexes, granted by his Celestial. The user has heightened senses that drastically increases their reaction time. Aldric can use this ability to dodge attacks, or more simply: to catch a fallen cup before it hits the floor and shatters.
➼Thanks to his love for music, Aldric took violin lessons and now plays in his spare time–sometimes even at the coffee shop he works at. Although he’ll say he’s still got a lot to learn, he’s proven to be very skilled with it.

➽WEAKNESSES:
➼Aldric suffers from Phonophobia: a fear of loud noises–specifically bangs or crashes. While a loud scream or a car noise will definitely startle him & put him on edge, a crash or a clap of thunder will instantly send him into a panic attack until he can get himself away from the source of the noise. For this reason, he keeps a set of noise-cancelling headphones on him at all times; whether to drown out the sound with calming music, or to just muffle everything altogether.
➼He has always had a low sense of self-worth. Due to this and being bullied as a child, he can be easily affected by someone’s words. He tends to keep to himself as a result, and won’t open up to someone until he can truly believe he can trust them.
➼Aldric lacks physical strength, though he makes up for it in stamina. In a battle of muscles, he would surely fail. He has never been a fan of strenuous work, preferring the lifestyle of “brains over brawn.”

➽GIFT PREFERENCES:
【 ❤ Loved | ♫ Liked | ⊘ Disliked | ✖ Hated 】

❤ Baked goods, CDs, Books/manga, Feathers ❤
♫ Scarves, Sweaters, Tech gadgets ♫
⊘ Vegetables, Bugs ⊘
✖ Sour foods, Tobacco, Anything harmful to animals ✖

➽PERSONALITY:
• Quiet • Curious • Observant • Friendly •
⊹ Caring ⊹ Playful ⊹ Affectionate ⊹ Loyal ⊹
ㅡ Clingy ㅡ Skittish ㅡ Submissive ㅡ

➼Aldric is a very soft-spoken boy, and not the type to reach out and try to make friends, so he can be quite nervous in new interactions. This does not mean that he is unapproachable–the boy probably couldn’t hurt a fly. He is very friendly and compassionate even towards complete strangers. It isn’t until he meets someone that he can trust that he will come out of his shell and open up. When he’s comfortable, he likes to joke and play around, and share his hobbies with his friends.
However, he’s pretty keen at sensing someone’s feelings. If they seem uninterested, or approach with a threatening aura of any kind, Aldric will back down immediately. He avoids conflict at all costs. The only exception seems to be when someone is in dire need of help, especially someone he holds close.

➽BIOGRAPHY:

Click me!

「 Before the Battle 」
Aldric is an orphan; he does not remember most his childhood and who his parents are, or if they are even alive. He’s never asked; either one of those answers scare him. All he knows is that he was adopted by two wonderful fathers who have cared for him as their own. Even so, he couldn’t help but be a rather reclusive child growing up.
He had a rough time in school due to these reasons which made him become a target for bullying. He was picked on for his appearance, for his hobbies, and for being adopted by gay parents. Of course, this forced Aldric to isolate himself even more than he already did. He didn’t want to be bothered, and he didn’t want to risk getting close to someone out of fear that they would turn on him. And telling someone about it was too scary for his young mind to consider.
The eventful day soon came where Aldric was pushed too far. His bullies began to get physically violent with him, and it was at this point that his previously dormant Celestial powers broke through. A wild wind spun around his abusers, knocking them away. Aldric’s emotions took hold of him so much that he couldn’t control these newfound powers, and he almost ended up sucking the air right out of one of the bully’s lungs. Luckily he came to his senses before any real damage was done, but it was more than enough to teach those boys a lesson.
It took a lot of coercing from his parents, but Aldric soon came to terms with his powers. They were a part of him just like everything else. He was afraid of losing control like he did before, and wanted to prevent it from happening again. So, his parents worked to train him in mind and body. He was quite frail, so muscle building was difficult. But, he was able to work on his stamina and endurance, and learned how to move swiftly, and to flow alongside his gift of wind. These skills would be what helped him survive and fight back against the Dark Mage, ultimately saving the world.

「After the Battle 」
Aldric is still coming to terms with everything. It’s hard for him to believe that he was in a coma for several months, that the world was on the brink of destruction, and that he was one of the ones responsible for saving it.
But, it would explain why he can’t remember a thing, besides his name. He listens to everyone’s stories, and he believes every single one of them. It’s just… hard for him to imagine. He certainly doesn’t feel like some mighty hero. Although, he has rediscovered his powers over wind. And with no memory, he’s going to have to start practicing with them in order to use them correctly again. Hopefully he won’t ever have the need to do so, but still.
After he awoke, he was offered a job at the local cafe/coffee shop. He spent a lot of his time there already before his memory loss, so the workers and customers were already familiar with him. They hoped it would eventually help to bring back some of his memories. After all, somewhere in his subconscious, he still knew how to play his violin… There had to be hope that the rest of his memory would return. Some of his interactions leave him feeling very melancholy, since he can’t remember anyone who recognizes him. But Aldric is doing his best to push through it.

➽TRIVIA:
➼The dog-tag Aldric wears belonged to one of his adoptive fathers’ and was given to him as a gift on his 13th birthday after they started training with his powers.
➼Aldric owns a white Alaskan Malamute named Aspen who has been trained in emotional support, as well as home protection–just in case. Although Aldric can’t remember when he got his dog, he still loves him all the same, and Aspen is just happy that his owner is awake again.

Having been so distracted by watching the crowd and the party guests continuing to arrive, Eulalia had no warning of the taller girl coming towards her. That made it even more of a surprise when she was bumped into, and the red-head couldn't help but stumble sideways ever so slightly after losing her balance. Her head quickly turned towards the source in her shock, but there was not a hint of anger on her face. "Oh, please don't worry! It really is quite crowded in here," she replied calmly, regaining her stance almost instantly as she faced the stranger and her companion. "I wasn't exactly paying attention either. This is all a bit overwhelming, if I can be honest!"

Although it was someone unfamiliar, Eulalia was just relieved that she had bumped into a friendly face. Ask and you shall receive, she thought. This was pretty much the exact situation she was looking for; an opportunity to interact with someone, without just butting in with an introduction. "I would be delighted if you joined me! I didn't come with a party or anything, and I'm not from around here... so I guess I am a bit lost." A nervous chuckle escaped with her words. It's great to be here, but social gatherings like this aren't my strong suit. Maybe you could show me around?"

Maybe she shouldn't assume that the taller girl knew her way around either, though. Taking a moment to look her over, she seemed to be of noble status, though that was just like all the rest here. Eulalia simply thought her lucky to have a companion, especially here. Judging by their attire... were they from Estrye? She wasn't all that good at distinguishing the nations that way. And Estrye was one she had not visited much herself. Apparently her nation wasn't on the best terms with theirs, though Eulalia never looked into why. Thinking about their homelands was a sudden reminder, and Eulalia perked up to speak again.

"Oh, where are my manners first! I should introduce myself!" The excitement of the party, the new location, and the possible new friends must have had her distracted. The red-head took a step back, bowing her head in a curtsy to her new acquaintances. "My name is Eulalia Sideris. I'm an inventor coming from the kingdom of An'elle. I'm hoping to learn a lot from my visit here in Hua'mu!"

|- Little Solace: Chapter One: Black Frost -|

This speaks to me so much! I've made so many characters in the past based off of supernatural stuff, and I might be able to tweak one of them for a story like this! It sounds like a lot of fun.
