Physical Description: Cadence stands at about 5’7, a bit below average height in Praelior and on the tall side elsewhere. She has dark bronzed skin and brown eyes. Her hair is a dark brown, nearly black colour, and naturally straight and silky (when maintained). She keeps it grown out all the way down to her bellybutton. She keeps it braided and often pinned into an up-do when travelling, for convenience. When she performs in a more acrobatic way, she’ll keep a loose braid in so that it’s out of her way, but if she’s dancing, she will brush it out and let it fall loose. While she owns rough travelling clothes, she prefers to stay in a casual costume of sorts: either bright colours, or dark colours with a lot of beads and jewels. She is thin with a few curves, but still has muscles from her acrobatic and combat training just under the surface.

Armor: None

• Bedroll
• Basic cookies supplies [a pot/pan cross and a few utensils] and some spices.
• Waterskin
• Leather satchel
• Lute
• Flute
• Plain travelling clothes and cloak
• Bright coloured performing clothes and loose, black dancing clothes
• Bead jewellery
• Dried meats, bread. Rations.

Mental Description/Personality: She is extremely outgoing, and will often just start talking to anyone about anything that’s on her mind. She trusts people very easily. The top of her list is basically just to experience life to the fullest. She has friends or contacts wherever she has previously been. Cadence is naturally very curious, and tries to get people to teach her foreign skills whenever possible. She likes to be wherever the action is happening, because she has a great fascination with stories. As she has spent all her life learning stories and learning how to tell them for people’s entertainment, she is very curious about the truth behind them and how the stories actually happened. For this reason, she’s always curious about experiencing her own story so that she can tell it. She’s the type of person to make bad jokes at bad times, and takes a very lighthearted approach to life. She values honesty.

Goals: Living an exciting story of her own instead of telling them, experiencing life and meeting people.

Background/History: Cadence was born to a very normal, middle-class merchant family in Praelior, with three older brothers and very normal parents. She had access to many books, which she constantly took advantage of. She enjoyed stories of any kind, and history books, as she sees history as an ultimate story. She grew up fairly bored; she didn’t enjoy her lessons on math or other merchant affairs and had no desire to live that life.

When she was 16, she asked a travelling storyteller to take her on as an apprentice. His name was Umair. He was from Vrettonia, and a skilled duelist. He taught her how to fight with a rapier and how to throw knives. He also taught her various skills in storytelling, teaching her the classic stories and any new ones they came across while travelling. She learned acrobatics from him, but her skills at dancing came from time they spent with the Di-janni people. She kept in touch with her family through letters, and visits. Her parents disapproved heavily of her choice, but they let her make her own decisions. She returned mostly to visit her brothers, who supported her choices.

She spent six years travelling with Umair, until she set out on her own and took her own apprentice. That apprentice was named Kadia. She was from Andred, and stayed with Cadence learning for about 5 years. The two became very close and had a mother-daughter type relationship. They keep in touch when they can, since Cadence set out to chase adventure and Kadia returned to Andred.

@BurningCold All right, sounds good to me.

If anyone else in there has someone who's injured, Aveca is a healer, so I could help out with that.

@gcold I actually remember looking at this when it was newer, but I didn't have the time then. I don't really now either but after university's done, I might come by.
Crazy amount of posts you guys have, though.

I'm interested, I'll start on a character.

The Wheel of Time - Trolloc Wars

Sena Fenne of the Blue Ajah

Manetheren

The first rays of light crept in past the curtains, lighting up the off-white pages of the book in Sena’s hand. The candle on the table beside her had become obsolete with the coming of morning. Her red hair was a mess; the knots tumbled around her shoulders from the tossing and turning she had done the previous night. With first light, Sena slipped a piece of paper into the book to mark her page and set it aside. She had read the history book before, but found it easier to practice by re-reading texts she had seen before. The woman still found herself needing to practice in order to keep her literacy. Not only did she learn to read later in life, but when she did, she found it exceedingly difficult to decipher.

In the short time since she had arrived at Manetheren, there had been no attacks. She found herself ridden with insomnia even though she felt confident in her battle spells. The Aes Sedai had rarely fought anyone except in practice, and had never experienced anything akin to a full battle. Trollocs, she had seen before, but for some reason, she found herself plagued by fear at the idea of her first battle.

She removed her cotton nightgown and hung it over the board on her bed. Her room was modest and private due to her status, but she had denied being waited on by any servants. She was used to keeping care of herself and disliked it when someone else took over. It was nothing new to her, after being raised on a farm. One of the things she enjoyed most since having become Aes Sedai was the ability to dress well. She took out a gray-blue silky dress which wasn’t very form-fitting and draped it over herself before sitting down in front of her mirror to tackle the knots in her hair.

After that endeavor was finished, it was mid-morning. She donned her jewellery and blue stockings in honor of her Ajah in preparation of heading out of her room. She piled together the trash and tray she had eaten her breakfast from and placed it on a small table beside her door for a servant to pick up, and added her nightdress to be washed. She didn’t like having people, even servants, snoop too deeply into her things, so she made it easier on them to not have to look around very much.
Sena considered briefly heading to the library to continue her practice reading, or perhaps read something new on battle weaves, but decided she had done enough reading for one morning. Instead, she sought to alleviate her misgivings about the likely impending attack and find somewhere to get practical exercise with her weaving.

Halfway down the stone corridor, already unsure of where she was going to do such a thing, she realized that it would be unadvisable to wear herself out, as there always seemed to be a threat of Trollocs in this place. Instead, she turned for the main hall, intending to perhaps catch a second breakfast before they stopped serving it. She would consider the benefits of practicing her weaves on a small scale while she ate, the Aes Sedai decided. It wouldn’t be fitting if she were to do something unwise which may reflect badly on her, or the Blue Ajah, after all.

The Wheel of Time - Trolloc Wars

I'll have a post up tonight

The Wheel of Time - Trolloc Wars

@aviendha I wasn't sure since I just pulled the picture off google, but I did a quick reverse search and found the person's deviantart, it's from here and the artist has some really nice portaits

I thought about drawing one myself but, I'm pretty average because I haven't dedicated the time to the hobby, I spend more of it writing. (I still intend to paint something based off the one I found because thats tons easier for someone of my skill level) but last night I decided to find a picture instead cause I wanted to get the sheet out there.

The Wheel of Time - Trolloc Wars

Sena Fenne

Name:

Sena Fenne of the Blue Ajah

Gender:

Female

Age:

117

Origin:

Eharon

Career:

Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah

Faction:

Blue Ajah

Appearance:

Sena has auburn hair and bright blue eyes. She is quite short. When not at the tower, she tends to wear blues and grays and she has a taste for finer clothing and jewellery since she was poor in her youth. She enjoys dressing well now that she has access to it. She only wears her blue shawl on occasions where it is deemed necessary, but she often is wearing blue somewhere on her whether it’s stockings, jewellery or her dress.

History:

Sena was born to a small, poor family of farmers. She was their sixth child of seven, made up of five boys and two girls. She lived a very simple life during her childhood. It was mostly spent either playing among her siblings outside, or working. She worked sometimes in the fields with the crops and sometimes inside, weaving the wool from their sheep or cooking with her mother and older sister, Elithia.
Her education was very minimal; she didn’t even learn to read simply because her father didn’t see the need. Her family lived half a day’s journey from the nearest city, so Sena didn’t often get to visit there. She jumped at every opportunity to go, as when she was young, it felt like a great adventure, and when she was a little older, it was a break in a boring day to day life.
She started using the one power before she realized it, often when she weaving. Strange occurrences would happen around the small one-room house while she zoned out and moved her hands. For example, the fireplace would light itself. When her mother noticed the occurrences, she tried to beat the power out of her daughter.
Eventually, she was in town at the same time as an Aes Sedai who agreed to take her to the tower. She was in town with two siblings rather than her parents, and left without saying anything to them. She spent 6 years as a novice because of her lack of general knowledge. Sena learned everything from the ground up: writing, math, geography, history, and so on. She took to it quickly, but out of uncertainty refused the test to become Accepted once. The second time, she passed, and spent half as much time as an Accepted.
She joined the Blue Ajah in order to follow her own beliefs and the pursuit of what was right. She thought it was the best way to pursue her own personal goals, one of which was to find girls who grew up like herself and recruit them as novices. It is that goal she focused on after becoming Aes Sedai. She travelled for quite a time until the situation with the Trolloc invasion nudged her to turn her attentions to other causes.

Notes:

Power level is 17(5).

@aviendha@POOHEAD189
I don't know how everyone had the headings bigger. I'm missing something, but for the moment I'm heading to bed. I stayed up somewhat late finishing these sheets so I don't doubt I've missed something else somewhere. I will get back to this tomorrow, though.
