Hobbies:
- Video Games - Abhain has always been a huge lover of video games, and has a handful of favorite series that will never grow old for her. She's been a fan of the Pokémon games ever since she first managed to get her hands on one, and always gets the new releases. She also enjoys pretty much anything produced by Bioware and Square Enix, and plays multiple MMORPGs as well. She plays action and adventure games with a roleplaying aspect almost exclusively, and can be notoriously picky about the ones she does play. If a plot doesn't interest her in the first ten minutes, chances are she'll put it down and never play it again.
Creative Pursuits - Abhain has always had a creative streak, and she writes and draws nearly constantly when she has idle hands and paper in front of her. It isn't uncommon for her to be doing either in her classes, and she's surprisingly good at it! She certainly has a way with words, and her drawings definitely aren't bad. She's had quite a few friends comment that she should go into the arts, but she is always quick to let them know that she didn't want an enjoyable hobby spoiled by being required to do it to get by.
Reading - Well all else fails to keep her entertained, Abhain is likely to have her nose tucked into a book. She is an avid reader, and frequents Destiny City Library often enough that she knows most of its workers by name. Her favorite genre to read is by far Fantasy - if there's magic and dragons she'll have her hands on it within a month, if not sooner. She is known to read other things, particularly anything regarding Wicca or Egypt's ancient pantheon.
Roleplaying - This is a huge aspect of Abhain's life and has seen her through many a dark patch. When all else fails to pull her out of a bad mood, nothing can rectify it quicker than throwing herself into the mindset of a character and playing out virtually any scenario with a friend she met online. She has a good deal of people on her buddy list that she knows strictly through online RPGs, and would even go so far as to say some of those people are among her longest standing friends. This is a quick and easy way to bond with her; she loves talking about her characters and listening to someone else talk about theirs.
Virtues:
- Who Cares If You're Different - Abhain is exceptionally tolerant, and is always quick to ignore a person's abnormalities. She understands every person is different, and even if she doesn't like those differences she'll always respect the person's right to be that way. In fact, on a small scale, she is drawn to those who aren't like everyone else. She thrives with those who are unique and unusual, and always seems to smile a little wider and laugh a little harder around them. On some level, it's because she feels different herself, and knowing that she isn't the only one makes her far more at ease being who she is on her deepest level.
Through Thick And Thin - While a casual friendship is easy to strike up with Abhain, those who get to know her on a deeper level will find in her a friend they can always count on. She'll always come to the aid of those who she considers part of her inner circle, and whenever her friends need it she'll be the shoulder they lean on. And as awkward as she can be around people in emotional distress, she'll do her best to be there for her friends. Even when she's feeling at her worst, you'll always find a warm smile and a comforting hug when you turn to Abhain.
Walking Encyclopedia Is A Compliment - Intelligence is an easy thing to come by in Abhain, and you'd be hard pressed to find something she doesn't remember reading or hearing somewhere. For the most part, she does a very good job of keeping this under control. Facts are only mentioned when pertinent to the situation at hand, and they are done so in a way that adds to the situation rather than making her seem like a know-it-all... Not that it doesn't happen sometimes. After all, she's always been quick to pick up new concepts, and retaining facts is as natural to her as swimming is to fish.
At Least Things Can't Possibly Get Any Worse - Looking for the mythical silver lining is something Abhain is always willing to put effort into, even in the worst of situations. She'll try her hardest not to fall to hopelessness, but that certainly doesn't mean she doesn't have moments where she struggles to find something good to say. The important thing is that she genuinely tries, even if it's offering something as lame as "at least it isn't raining." This can cause her to inadvertently make light of some very serious situations, something she's willing to apologize for, but don't expect her to feel sorry for trying to find a bright spot in a very dark place.
Flaws:
- What Do You Mean He's Angry - If there's one thing Abhain is absolutely horrendous at, it's reading people. Oh, she can get the basics pretty well. She can tell when someone is happy or sad, but if you ask her anything beyond that she's incapable of giving a straight answer. She has a hard time telling when she offends someone, and for this reason she's not the person you'd want to call on to solve problems diplomatically. The intricacies of social situations tend to elude her a bit more than most, but hopefully some of that has to do with the fact she's still young. (No guarantees though, as she's had plenty of time to grow out of it.)
If You Think So, I Think So Too - While fully capable of thinking for herself, more often than not Abhain allows the opinions of those she cares about to influence hers without even realizing it. If her best friend says someone is bad news then she obviously shouldn't get involved with them, and if her dog seems to think her new friend is the best thing ever then there's no way she can be wrong. Her opinions are easily swayed by those closest to her, and it seems there are very few things she stands firm on her own opinion on. This has nothing to do with her being unable to form an opinion on her own, and everything to do with the fact she trusts the opinions of those she loves higher than she trusts her own. This can get her into a lot of trouble - especially when two friends are saying two completely different things.
Can't We All Just Get Along - More than anything in the world Abhain despises conflict, and she will do just about anything she possibly can to avoid it. If this means going along with a class assignment that others would find unfair or unreasonable, so be it. She'd rather just shut her mouth and fight through whatever is thrown her way than to speak up and risk causing a disagreement of any kind. One could even go so far as to say she has a fear of conflict, but she'd never dare to admit to this.
I Just Can't Make Up My Mind - If there's one thing Abhain has the most trouble with, it would have to be making decisions. With so many options and the ability to see the bright side of every one, she has a hard time making up her mind. While she's generally good with the small stuff, like what type of juice she wants today or whether or not she wants to buy that top, the bigger stuff is a battle for her. She'd hate to make a decision and then regret it later, but often waits so long to make one that she ends up deciding on impulse and inevitably does regret it in the end.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Blue-gray and almond-shaped.
Hair: Abhain's hair is dyed a dark, natural red. She has it cut in a short undercut, and often has designs shaved into the side of her head. She favors abstract things, like swirls and zigzags, but can occasionally be seen wearing more "seasonal" designs for special occasions, like waves for a beach trip or spiderwebs around Halloween. She most often styles it into a full, fluffy mohawk.
Face: Abhain has a round face. Her skin is pale and lightly freckled over her cheeks, and burns extremely easily if she's out in direct sunlight for too long without protection. Makeup is used sparingly and the most she wears on a day-to-day basis is a little bit of eyeliner, mascara, and a colorless lip gloss. She is never seen without narrow black-framed glasses - her eyesight is notoriously terrible without them, and contacts never quite worked out with her.
Clothes: Abhain has a tendency to lean towards snug-fitting off the shoulder tops, which always go well with one of her favorite garments - a black overbust corset with a halter neckline. This combination is typically worn with a narrow legged, dark pair of jeans and ankle high boots. Color-wise, Abhain favors deep, cool colors and often leans towards dark blues and purples accented with black. She commonly wears long earrings to accentuate the length of her neck and slim necklaces with understated pendants. She's not too fond of rings and bracelets, as she often finds them distracting.
