Name: Blanche O’Hara
Nickname: None, really, though back home she got a lot of "sugar" and "honeybun" and such from the older ladies
Age: 19
Birthday: April 30
Sign: Taurus
Gemstone: Sapphire
Blood Type: O-
Fav. Food: A well-made fruit cobbler, with some vanilla ice cream. Nothing better!
Hated Food: Meatloaf. It just...never comes out quite right.
School: Destiny City University, majoring in journalism
Hobbies:
Horseback Riding || Though it's a little harder for her to do here in Destiny City, Blanche loves to ride. She has a beloved horse named Silver Star that came with her to DC, and is boarded in a stable outside the city. She visits every weekend and goes for rides. While she is good at more fancy dressage work, her favorite thing is just to go on cross-country rides. It's very freeing.
Journalism || Blanche loves the idea of being a reporter someday, of going back to Missisippi and working on the Oxford Eagle while attending grad school at Ole Miss. While at DCU, she works on the school paper and given the opportunity would like to intern at the city's paper.
Embroidery || Blanche loves to embroider. She carries small hoops everywhere and does samplers. All of her clothing comes with custom embroidery that she has done on her own. She's willing to do it for friends or family, too, just because it's fun and relaxing, and also a very ladylike hobby in her personal opinion.
The Old South || Blanche is fascinated by everything about the Old South. Or at least, all the pretty, genteel aspects of it, skirting over the more negative things. She has a well-abused book copy of Gone With The Wind, loves William Faulkner, and does, indeed, have a bit of a tendency to look down on "damn Yankees." She buys every book or movie she can find related to her favorite thing, and her collection is massive and almost overwhelming.
Virtues:
Refined || Blanche is a Lady with a capital L. She is vey concerned with keeping up a refined image, and with that comes an utter rejection of any appearance of rudeness. She will sir and ma'am you until the end of time, not to make you feel old but because it is the polite thing to do. She will always behave in a refined and delicate manner, and she will never, ever be nasty to your face. At least, not overtly. She aspires to look her very best, and be on her vey best behavior, as much as possible.
Composed || Got a crisis on yor hands, and need it dealt with in a calm, efficient manner? Blanche is probably your girl. She never lets anything set her out of sorts, and takes failures or setbacks with impeccable grace. In a crisis situation, she is the one taking charge and calmly directing everyone's efforts, even if that crisis is just that the group project is due in an hour and no one has done anything yet.
Compassionate || Blanche really is mostly a caring, sweet person, especially when it comes to her friends. She is always ready with a listening ear, and is a very huggy, warm person when a friend is sad. This is the one situation in which she would really let her ladylike tendencies slide, because even if it might not be entirely proper, some things are more important than being a perfect lady all the time.
Flaws:
Passive Aggressive || Blanche is always polite. Really. But that doesn't mean she can't, or won't, insult you. She'll do it with a smile, nod, and say "that's nice, dear," and really mean "oh, eff you." Blanche is never, ever overt in her aggression, but being a passive aggressive b***h is just as bad, if not worse, than being an aggressive-agressive one.
Gossip Hound || Blanche simply must know everything everyone else is up to. She desires deeply to be all up in everyone's business, and hates to think she might ever be out of the loop. If she knows an especially juicy bit of gossip, she simply cannot not spread it, to anyone and everyone who will listen.
Insecure || Underneath her calm, refined shell, Blanche is really not very secure about herself. She feels like all those people who like and admire her are missing a very important detail, her negative aspects. She thinks that the more people get to know her the less they will like her, and so she often keeps people at arm's length rather than let them in to see the parts of herself she is not fond of.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Hair: Light lavendar, braided over her shoulder and covering one eye

Knight Title: Shambhala Page of Cosmos
Challenge: "Embrace eternity!"
Uniform:
A simplified version of this!
Top --
Bottoms --
Gloves --
Belt --
Shoes --
Shoulders --
Accessories --
Weapon --
Page: A large lavender feather
Magic: Nope
Squire: A plain staff, lavender in color, with a lavender feather attached to the top
Magic: Shambhala taps her staff against the ground. She and her weapon begin to glow, and everyone in a three-foot radius around her percieves themselves as being in the middle of space, surrounded by stars, planets, et cetera moving in fast motion - experiencing eternity in a few seconds, as it were. Other than the canvas of the universe, Shambhala and anyone else in the radius are the only things visible. While in this "place," the targets find that it is hard to look away from the tabelau around them, so distracting is the wonder of the stars. Shambhala can channel for thirty seconds total at the Squire stage. Anyone outside the radius sees everything normally, and should Shambhala be distracted from her channeling, the magic stops working and she needs five seconds to recharge.
Knight: An elegant staff, topped with Cosmos's star symbol in a circle and decorated with dangling lavender feathers and amethyst crystals
Magic: Shambhala taps her staff against the ground. She and her weapon begin to glow, and everyone in a five-foot radius around her percieves themselves as being in the middle of space, surrounded by stars, planets, et cetera moving in fast motion - experiencing eternity in a few seconds, as it were. Other than the canvas of the universe, Shambhala and anyone else in the radius are the only things visible. While in this "place," the targets find that it is hard to look away from the tabelau around them, so distracting is the wonder of the stars. Shambhala can channel for forty-five seconds total at the Knight stage. Anyone outside the radius sees everything normally, and should Shambhala be distracted from her channeling, the magic stops working and she needs five seconds to recharge.
Summon:
A lavender-colored ailicorn with a white mane and tail. It moves very quickly and is capable of short-range flight - essentially long enough to run in, scoop Shambhala out of danger, and leave.

Family:
Patrick O'Hara, father - 45 years old, handles the management and accounting side of running the family bed and breakfast. Can be a bit distant, since his head tends to be on the numbers and not on his family.
Allison O'Hara, mother - 40 years old, cooks and works as a greeter at Belle Reve. A very warm, cheerful woman who makes friends easily and was the one to encourage her daughter to leave Mississippi, at least for college, and see more of the country than her small world.
Random facts:
(or, the stuff that lurks in Song's head and is pretty much of no consequence to her actual quest, but ought to be somewhere....)
-Blanche was named for Blanche Dubois, from the Tennessee Williams play A Streetcar Named Desire. Her last name being "O'Hara" is fully a coincidence, but amuses her to no end.
-Blanche was born and raised in Mississippi, and had originally planned to attend the University of Mississippi, both her parents' alma mater. However, they urged her to explore other areas, and she decided that Destiny City University sounded good.
-Her parents own and maintain an old plantation house that they've converted into a bed-and-breakfast, named "Belle Reve" after the plantation owned by Blanche's namesake's family.
-Belle Reve is allegedly haunted, and Blanche herself claims to have had a ghostly experience there.
-Blanche is a closeted lesbian; she comes from a very socially conservative area and is absolutely terrified of the disapproval of her friends, family, and community were she to come out
