✴ Personality: Not the most delicate snowflake, Lettie is a rather rough-and-tumble girl. Since she hatched, she has had a difficult time controlling how much force she puts behind some of her actions, and can inadvertently injure someone on accident if not careful. She is not afraid to bluntly speak what is on her mind, especially when linked to the things she observes, but will hastily put up a wall before she has to mention anything relative to her own feelings on a matter. Lettie acts out more when she wants to push others away, as though attempting to get on their bad side, but her reasons for the mini-tantrums can be varied indeed. Her inquisitive curiosity, however, can overcome the cold shoulder she may try to turn. An independent child, she likes to do things her own way, regardless of general consensus or likely consequence.
✴ Likes: With a high threshold for curiosity, Lettie enjoys figuring things out that she hadn't known about before, learning trivial tidbits that may come to be necessary knowledge. She may state that some of this acquired information can be used for blackmail at a later date, but her ethical standards would prohibit such acts -- she isn't intentionally a traitor, even to those she greatly dislikes. The ice elemental likes to try to discover hidden areas and passageways that others may be unaware of, and will go out of her way to locate them when she has the time. She has a fondness for bread; yes, just
plain bread.
✴ Dislikes: Being born fully aware and growing up within the Dreamery's walls, Lettie has developed a dislike for wide, open spaces. The icy child's strength of individuality has led her to grow an aversion of those that harbor a demeanor too similar to her own, outward
or inward. Meek individuals irritate Lettie for their subordinate behavior, and she may go out of her way to get them to loosen up; hot-headed individuals bring out her colder side, though she sometimes merely finds them amusing to listen to. She abhors spicy foods.
✴ Other Quirks: Displaying anything that might spark imagination out of a child that has little knowledge of the workings of the outer world is like waving candy in front of a young child for this girl, and due to this, such manipulation has the greatest ease at overcoming her icy demeanor. When she feels she's been wronged, much of the time Lettie will develop a case of "sticky fingers" out of retaliation to her self-imposed grudge. Even when Lettie first hatched, her body temperature was read as being extremely low by normal standards, and continues along this trend the more her abilities develop.
