Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Aelia Michaud

Nickname: Appleseed (only called that by her family)

Age: 19

Birthday: March 1

Sign: Pisces

Gemstone: Amethyst

Blood Type: B-

Fav. Food: All the food!

Hated Food: Anything pickled including pickles

School: Destiny City University

Hobbies:
♞ Sewing - Aelia was required to learn sewing from a young age. Her mother was the one who would sit and teach her. What started out as something boring and tedious, turned into something that really helps define her. She started off with making little pillows and pillow cases. Now, she makes her own outfits. The only thing she doesn't know how to do is make her own shoes because any truly feminine woman wears heals and she failed at that one. So she sticks to making her own clothes as well as clothes for her family. She often sits with her mom for an hour or two to gossip while they mend things together.

♞ Cooking - This was one thing that her mother did not have to force her to do. From the time she could crawl across the floor, Aelia was always trying to "help" her mom with cooking. This turned into a true passion for her when she was allowed full use of the kitchen without supervision. Now she cooks at least one meal a day for her family. She is always looking for new recipes to try. Her go-to site is pinterest because there is an endless stream of recipes for her to choose from. So all new recipes are tested on family and friends. So far, no one has suffered from food poisoning.

♞ Petsitting - Since Aelia is studying Veterinary Science at DCU, she figured she'd get a head start taking care of animals. After figuring out a cute design for a boarding house, her father built, on their property, her place of business. Since she is still in school, she only sits one or two pets at a time depending on how much she has on her plate at the moment. Primarily, she takes in pets whose owners will be going on vacation and need care while they are away. Aelia is willing to care for all animals and has enlisted the help of her pet pig, QT.

Virtues:
- Everyone is different and I accept that. -
Aelia accepts everyone just the way they are. Even people that have vastly different views and opinions than her will find acceptance from her. She just doesn't judge people. This means she can get along well with pretty much anyone, so long as that person accepts her. She will also never try to change a person unless she thinks that whatever it is they are doing is harmful to them. People should be able to be who they want and do what they want free from judgement. That's how she would like to be treated.

- I really do care. -
Aelia is a caring person. Being trained in basic home remedies and first-aid skills, she is always the one who takes care of her siblings when her parents aren't around to do so. She cooks for them, helps them with homework, and extends this to anyone willing to let her. Got something bothering you? Aelia will definitely sit down and listen and give her genuine opinion/help. Happiness is something everyone should have and if she can help a person find that, then she'll be happy too.

Flaws:
- Please don't be mean to me. -
Aelia does not like being confronted at all. When others are mean to her, she tends to withdraw and clam up. She will walk away from a fight if she can. If someone persistently picks on her, she will start to cry. This is likely because she was always sheltered by her dad and her brother would stand up for her. Now that he isn't around as much, she is finding it hard when someone is mean to her. She just doesn't understand the reasoning behind being mean to someone.

- There are some things I just can't do. -
Aelia is one of those people that is very dependent on others. She will likely never become completely independent. Growing up she always had her daddy and older brother to help her with things, like opening jars or killing roaches. This is a reason that she rarely goes without a boyfriend. She needs people around her or with her to be happy. You will almost never find Aelia by herself unless she is pet sitting but she considers animals as company.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Gray color #B1BCB3, almond shaped, sultry looking, with thick and full eyelashes

Hair: A gray-blue #4B6184 color that goes into a purple #501F84 color (ombre), Short hair where the longest strands just barely brush her shoulders, really wavy (almost curly but not quite), with straight asymmetrical bangs. The gray-blue is her natural hair color.

Face: Aelia has a pear shaped face, she has fair skin (like this), her lips are full and pouty, she has a slightly up-turned nose

Clothes: Maybe her clothes for petsitting. No accessories other than her ring, animals like to eat those sometimes.
She always wears a ring with little wire fox ears on her left pinky that her brother made for her.
Appearance: She is plus size.

Family
Laurent Michaud (Father): He works in construction and loves to listen to classic rock from the 80s.

Cinderella Michaud (Mother): She is a stay-at-home mom who loves to blog about being a mom, cooking, and sewing. Her maiden name was Triggs. Most people just call her Cindy.

Brendon Michaud (Brother): He is 22 years old and is a police officer. Aelia is closest to him.

Callie Michaud (Sister): She is 17 years old and a senior in high school. Her favorite thing to do is spit out some rhymes a.k.a. rap.

Aksel Michaud (Brother): He is 13 years old. He loves to dance and practices many different forms of dancing. His name is pronounced just like axle and he was kind of named after Axl Rose since Guns N' Roses is their dad's favorite band of all time.

- Callie and Aksel are somewhat of a disappointment to their parents. Cindy does not approve of Callie wanting to be a rapper. That is something girls should not be doing. Laurent doesn't want Aksel to pursue dancing because he feels it's not what a man should be doing. Still, they try to be supportive but at the same time, attempt to get their youngest ones to be interested in more appropriate things.

*major revamp on attacks and some tweaking on personality

Hi Matisha! ^^ Thanks for taking the time to read and crit my quest. <3

Ok for cooking I added in:
"She is always looking for new recipes to try. Her go-to site is pinterest because there is an endless stream of recipes for her to choose from. So all new recipes are tested on family and friends. So far, no one has suffered from food poisoning."

Emotional:
Haha....yeah, my poor girl will get beaten up quite a lot before she gets it through her head that she needs to start fighting back. There will be a major personality change in regards to this! She will grow and evolve and eventually become more independent and less of a sissy. In a fight, she'll probably try her attack because she can but not to hurt anyone. It'll be more as a reflex to distract them and run. But she loves animals! So her awakening won't be as bad because she does not like when people pick on animals. So if a cat is involved, she'll be like hell no! I'm saving that cat and then getting out of here. She'll probably cry after she gets away safely. XD

Attacks:
Yes, the "smell" stays within that specific radius. So it doesn't spread further. If someone manages to get out of the affected area they'll be good! Also, if they have a stuffy nose and can't smell at all, they also won't be affected.

Hope that covers everything that needed. If I need to add it in, I will. ^^

I'm so sorry, I didn't realize this was waiting on me! I think this is a really neat profile and I am happy to drop a stamp!
