Mali verch Delyth Trastámara ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ Nickname ● Mali, Mals Age ● 19 Gender ● Female Height ● 5'6" Race/species ● Human, isn't she? Romantic preferences ● The truth is that Mali has never really given this much thought. She could probably be described as a mix of demisexual and pansexual. Role ● Royalty Kingdom ● Ishgar Allegiance ● Ishgar
Occupation ● 4th Princess of Ishgar: Mali has been raised to understand well the duties and expectations placed upon her as a member of the royal family of Ishgar.
Hobbies ● Equestrianism: One of the few things that Mali enjoys is the company of her favorite horse, Afon. She prefers to personally care for him whenever she has the time to, and he is her normal choice when going out to ride. It is the subject of some debate in the stables as to exactly what she sees in that cranky animal.. ● Knife Throwing: When she isn't engaging in her other hobbies or studying, Mali often takes to throwing knives for fun. She enjoys learning new tricks and otherwise just trying to improve on this one count. Let's just say that she is very good at this and leave it at that. So much practice. ● People Watching: Mali has a habit of just watching people, both during her free time and at other times. She finds the way people act and interact, both in social situation and while working, as endlessly fascinating as it is difficult to understand.
The Personal Things ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ Personality ● Mali's temperament is surprisingly placid for a member of the Ishgar royal house. She possesses a very placid demeanor, remaining calm under even the most stressful of situations. As she does not get angry, likewise does she never seem to express any other emotion. She could best be characterized as one who is constantly bored. This sense of boredom has its roots in her unyielding apathy. There is a certain emotional numbness that grips her, which allows her to remain calm in even the face of terrible acts, yet also prevents her from being able to truly enjoy life.
Mali is a realist, first and foremost, with a distinctly fatalistic attitude. One might think that this would make her a meek person, but this is far from the case. While she is quiet, she is not afraid to speak her mind even to the likes of her father. She primarily prefers to watch others, observing them and considering her words before she says anything. This lends the impression of an astute mind. As much as she does not appear to judge, she is keenly aware of the moral implications of one's words and deeds. She is perfectly willing to set aside her morals to accomplish her goals, and yet retains a belief that one will always pay for their actions. As much as she may be willing to kill, maim, or otherwise cause harm, she is not especially cruel and prefers to avoid causing others to suffer.
Despite her overall uncaring nature, Mali does possess some measure of love for her family. Enough that she would stand by them no matter what happens...
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Strengths ● Knife-Play:All of Mali's practice with her knives has gifted her with a fine skill for using them.. Whether within or without combat. Some have their uses for close range combat, and Mali does keep a pair for this reason, however where she truly shines is in throwing them. She has a good arm and excellent aim that have been honed by years of practice. She can accurately hit even small targets from up to 40 feet away while standing still. Further is likely possible, but the further away a target is, the more tricky it can be.. Of course, she's most effective with these at a range of about 10-20 feet, which is her normal range for accurately hitting a moving target while also moving herself. ● Perceptive: Mali has a keen eye for details. It is not uncommon for her to pick up on things that other people miss. All of that watching people has been very good for improving her observational skills.. ● Poison Knowledge: Due to spending time in the city with some very unsavory people, Mali has learned a great deal about various kinds of poisons. How to make poisons, how to use them, what they do.. Antidotes and how to treat various poisons.. Okay, so poison isn't the only fun trick she's learned about. She's also been learning a few things about various medicines/drugs.
Weaknesses ● Alexithymia: Mali is unable to recognize or correctly process her own emotions. While she still feels them, she only recognizes physical effects while being unable to link those physical reactions to a specific emotion. This emotional blindness also makes it quite difficult for her to empathize with others and hinders her in social situations. ● Bee Allergy: Due to the cold weather of Ishgar, bees are a very uncommon sight in the country. For this reason, Mali is unaware of the risk they pose to her in particular. If she were ever to be stung by a bee, it would make her severely ill. ● Chains of Duty: Mali is a very dutiful child. Even if she does not personally agree or want to follow through with this duty, she will. There are many things that one must put aside when they have such obligations to live up to...
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Biography ● Mali was born as one of the unfortunate children of the infamous Mad King of Ishgar. She never knew her mother, for the woman had been killed when she was but an infant. Her father was practically absent, too neglectful to pay much attention to her. When she was small, she had wished for her father's attention, but as she grew this thought ran far from her mind. She found him a frightening man, with a harsh temper that left her in tears countless nights. And as for her sisters, well.. Most of the time, they were hardly any more pleasant to be around, with the only exception being the youngest of them all. She learned quickly that it was best to keep her head down, keep quiet, and hope that she would not be noticed.
Most of Mali's childhood was occupied with the endless tedium of lessons. Duty, above all else, was drilled into her head. A princess must be this, a princess must do that. Learning what to say, what to do.. It was annoying. She very quickly lost what little interest she had in these things. With time, her apathy towards her lessons began to creep into other parts of her life. She began to stop caring about her father's temper, about her sisters' petty squabbles for favor when they would never be good enough, and about the politics of nobility. She found her own ways to entertain herself.
By the time she was a teenager, she had explored most of the castle. The standard combat lessons she had access to were becoming as dull as everything else, although she still respected their importance. Some things were deemed unfit for royalty to learn, even when knowing was desired. These were some of the factors that led to her seeking escape from her home. All in the name of breaking her tedious days, she began finding ways to go out alone. Whether by slipping away from escorts so that she could ride alone or finding ways to go into the city... Again, alone. It's not like the guards would dare tell her father that she was gone anyway. His temper was so infamous that they probably feared for their own safety.. So as long as she returned unharmed and it was all kept quiet, everyone was happy. Or at least alive.
When Mali sought to venture into the town, much of her time there was spent simply watching people going about their lives. City folk lived very differently from those in the castle, especially those who were poorer. In her wandering and watching, she eventually came across something that she should not have seen, which prompted her to follow someone into what could have easily become a very bad situation. In fact, it almost did.. But fortune favored Mali that day. Fortune helped along by her own actions. In the end, she gained a most unusual acquaintance. Someone who could teach her certain things about the world that she had not known.. And a few more unusual skills....
