Blood colour: Teal
Gender: Female
Symbol:
Personality: Know it all busy body. That sums up Atiqua pretty well. She is a troll's troll in her opinion and your life will no doubt be better once she's a part of it. Days spent pouring over books, nights spent organizing those books, she strives for perfection even if she herself is imperfect. She tries, a troll would know she tries, but she often misses the fact she falls short. Not looking to the big picture, she looks to the details, to the nitty gritty things most might miss. She aims for perfection but she occasionally misses... and then misses the fact she misses. Ending in a mess which Atiqua will spend her next day 'fixing'.
Never giving up, nearly never backing down from a challenge Atiqua charges into things full force. Problem? No, there isn't. There is only a thing to overcome. Polite as she can be, she tries to get on the good side of others and rub elbows with who she can. It can't hurt right? Cuddling up she's not adverse to leading someone on with the quadrants, though she aims to fill all of her's, (with only the best naturally). She deserves the best, is the best, and will show you and your lusus just how much better she is. Just.. ignore her lusus, he's drunk or something. On air. Yes. Just ignore him okay.
Fiddling with mechanics, with anything that can be taken apart and then put back together, she wants to figure out how things work. She wants to one day, get aboard a ship and then systematically take it apart just to put it back together. Her habit of breaking things just to fix them is not always accidental, but when it comes to things like model ships, engines, robots, she tries her best not to break them while taking them apart. Over the years she's slowly built up a modest collection of model ships, some handmade others stolen or won. Ships are fascinating to her, and she would like to have her own fully functionally ship one day. Not a space ship, but a ship ship. Because while impractical in a lot of ways, in her young mind it's simply cool.
As far as blood goes she is very much set in terms of wanting to uphold the system simply because it's a system. Yeah, it sucks at times, but without a system it could be a lot worse in her opinion. She might push her own limits with her blood, but the second she feels that those of higher caste might shoot her down, she'll back off and away. That doesn't mean however, that she's not going to push those of lower caste around. That's just how things are supposed to work in the system.
As for a job- She pirates things. Makes copies of anything and everything she can. Convincing fakes to sell to low bloods. She's not about to push her luck with high bloods. She's really not (on part due to the fact her rather 'helpless' lusus tends to shy from fighting and avoid more aggressive individuals). Seadad, (she never mastered saying coelacanth and just went with 'sea') tends to be lazy and disorganized, bumping into things, he occasionally tries to mimic other lusus but uh- He's a bit dim for pulling it off well. Atiqua takes more care of him than he does her now.
Strengths:
-Confident: Atiqua thinks she is good at whatever she does. If she comes up short she will ignore the remark, assessing that next time she will prove them wrong. Failures are met with grins of an accepted challenge as that is what she views life as. A constant challenge in where her goal is to win. Failure is not an option. No, she will try try try and try again until she is perfect in which case then she will considering that challenge won. Larger challenges, ones that show her as weak or that do risk her life make her hesitate slightly, but she will still attempt them. She believes very deeply that she can do anything those of her caste are capable of.
-Classy: Keeping it formal Atiqua strives to not offend. While politeness might not win points with some trolls it can make them think you're not a threat, something Atiqua is MORE than happy to be seen as. She will be prim and proper as best she can because the trolls it does matter with? It helps, a lot in her opinion. Aside from it keeping under radar at times, by not giving into 'cravings' for blood or violence she's more in control and can focus better. Sadly, when she gets over upset, her class act can't always hold up, and she can go into some rather colorful vitriol.
-Organized: Thing have a proper place. Going in hand with her manners, things need a structure. By giving herself one, she is at ease, able to work efficiently and in a timely fashion. She knows she can get s**t done, and in having a system things just get done better. From her home to how she views people things go in boxes and those boxes go in boxes and she will organize as needed. Her box style categorizing does make her a bit linear at times and can give her difficulty when she needs to put thing into two mental boxes but they fit in both or none or goddamn she's got to make a new category for this s**t.
Flaws:
-Arrogant: She can do that. Excuse you if you think otherwise. Kindly back the ******** off she's got this. In thinking she can do anything? She thinks more often than not she's the absolute s**t. She keeps a lot of this to herself and does not directly say it if it puts her above one with a higher rank. She'll show off her work when she can, expecting praise. Don't have any? Obviously you're just jealous. Deal with it. She'd better than you and she's out to prove it. Need someone's help? You need her. Need a problem solved? She can do that. When told she's not needed or no Atiqua silently fumes thinking colorful jabs to take at others.
-Tunnel Vision: Atiqua thinks in boxes and those boxes are labeled and color coded. Things go in boxes. Not baskets, not bin, but boxes. To word it differently, she fails to grasp that things don't always fit neatly into her world. She will do anything and everything to set things into 'place' in her logic, ranging from ignoring factors, making new attributes, or generally missing the whole point of things. If she's set on a task she might fail to see how it will affect others or what else she's missing. Hard work is good, but she takes it to the point where she lets it distract her from what might really matter.
-Ignorant: For all she toots her horn and acts like she is going to know things, Atiqua is rather clueless to certain things. Nothing in specific mind, but small factors. Glaringly obvious facts are hard for her to miss, but subtle hints? Little clues? Over her head more often than not. This applies to some, but not all social cues, (usually ones telling her to back off or down with her 'willingness' to help).
