Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Liylasa Ardanu
Stage: Youngling
Race: 1/2 Ice/1/2 Water
Gender: Girl
Future Class: Treasure Hunter
3 Base Traits:

Ambitious
Liylasa wants to do great things in her life, and she's willing to work hard to get them. Her parents always taught her to strive for the best despite what people may think of her and her hybrid lineage and that's just what she plans on doing. She's willing to go out of her way to get what she wants, even if that means hurting people along the way to do it.

Single-minded
In her striving for the best in everything, Liylasa definitely looses track of everything else around her and becomes so focused on her one task that she can get to the point of ignoring everything else until she finishes what she was working on before. She is absolutely terrible at multitasking, and while her project or goal may be done very well, she'll forget about the other goals she had along the way. She's not one to get distracted by the scenery or a pretty painting. With goals to accomplish and things to do there just isn't enough time to worry about the little things.

Passionate
If Liylasa is invested in something she's going to put all her heart and soul into it. She loves hard, plays hard, and a lot of times is ruled by her emotions. Her passion helps drive her goals, but at the same time if she finds herself falling in love or anything she's more likely to flee than anything else. Her main love is her ambition to be the greatest treasure hunter in Tendaji, and anything else getting in her way will have to be put aside until she's satisfied and believes she's accomplished her goal.

Personality:

Liylasa is a determined girl, putting all of her heart into any work she believes to be important to her. She's a hard worker, but tends to work a bit too hard sometimes and will forget to do simple things like eat and take breaks when needed. She's willing to go out of her way to accomplish her goal, especially if she really believes strongly about it. She's confident in everything she does, so much so that if she fails at a task she automatically questions every life ambition and action she's made. Generally in a somewhat dramatic fashion.

History:

The story of Liylasa starts really with the story of her parents. While her mother worked as a server and entertainment to a group of people that ran underground pit fights in Oba, her father was a traveling warrior looking for a way to make it big. Her mother was tasked with seeing what the fighters needed, no matter what that might be. During her mother's time as a worker to the group, her father happened to find his way down to Oba in an attempt to make a name for himself outside of Zena. With little money to his name and a good sword hand, he managed to find his way into the fights where he met Liylasa's mother. Being a cocky young man, her father was insufferable in his flirting and attempts at courting her mother. Every week he showed up to fight despite the damage it caused him sometimes, and every week she was there to patch his sorry self up afterwards. It was a game of cat and mouse for the two of them that went on for a year before her mother relented and actually agreed to a date with him. They continued to see each other in relative secrecy until the day her mother found out she was pregnant with the little bundle of joy that was Liylasa. While her father had been saving money to buy a small home in Oba, her mother had had different plans. She wanted to return to her homeland and start a life there. While fighting was all her father knew, he willingly gave it up in order to start a life together with his new wife.

Being the only child, Liylasa was raised under careful watch by both parents. Due to her hybrid lineage, she didn't have many friends growing up and adventured by herself for the most part. While she wasn't necessarily lonely in doing so, she does have an independent streak and struggles to make friends now that she's a bit older. While slavery is illegal in Oba now, both her parents still caution her and keep her away from Oba at all costs. This has made her grow up believing the Obans to be these big bad people she should be avoiding. Ever the adventurous child though, her own curiosity sometimes gets the better of her as she ventures forth trying to get closer to everything her parents have warned her about. Fearing her inevitable disobedience, her father taught her everything he knew about fighting and getting around in an attempt to prepare her for whatever she plans on doing in the future. While she knows the skills he's taught her, her real dream is to be a great explorer and find wonderful treasures to bring back to her parents to help them and the rest of the Matorians. She even hopes to travel to Zena to see just what the people of her other half are like. Not knowing what the ice people are like other than her father, she believes them all to be amazing fighters and warriors that are charismatic like he is. She's excited to meet them and hopefully learn more from them.

(I will get to your growth tomorrow no worries!)

Can you round out her personality a bit? She is a very positive trait person so far! Just gonna ask some Q's to see if her pos traits have neg aspects.

In her ambition is she willing to use others as stepping stones or do anything despite the cost?

In her single mindedness does she often overlook just enjoying the path? Smell the flowers as it were? Or does she stride forward and say screw the flowers I have things to do?

If she is emotional, how does she manage to stay focused on her task so well? Does her emotions distract her from her task/ambitions? Would she drop everything and run away if she fell in love? Or would she stay focused on her ambitions/dreams?

What does she want to be by the way? (ambition wise)


History wise: Did she face any stigma being a hybrid? If so how did she deal with it? What is her thoughts on her ice half?

I finally have enough time to crit things <3

So to start with, Oba was totally closed off to outsiders before the war ended, which means that by the time that her father would have been able to get into Oba slavery would have already been abolished. Her mother wouldn't have been a slave by the time they were able to meet. Is there a way you can alter her history so that it makes sense to Tendaji?

With her passion and her single-mindedness, how does this effect her relationships with others? Does she focus on one friend at a time, and when she switches gears are they left feeling abandoned or bitter? Is it harder for her to make friends this way?

She looks good to me then <3
