"Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud."Name: Gretta Elizabeth Keene
Nickname: None.
Gender: Female.
Age and Birth Date: 9/19 - Gretta is 27 years old.
Occupation: Proud proprietor of The Huckleberry Inn
APPEARANCE Gretta is a comely enough young woman - her features (pink cheeked & befreckled) are always smiling. Her hair is a thick, dark auburn and she wears it either in a braid or loose waves that fall down her back. She wears tortoiseshell square-rimmed glasses which frame her pale green eyes. Her ears are pierced; she prefers more modest jewelry and never wears anything that dangles.
Gretta is a little on the heavier side - she's got a matronly bosom and wide hips. She wears a lot of a-line skirts, empire-waisted dresses and floral blouses.
Body/face similar to
this lovely lady. Her hair would be darker and longer. She'd also have glasses on, and pale seaglass-green eyes.
PERSONALITY There has never been a mean bone in Gretta's body. There are times, of course, where the spitfire in her surfaces; she is a protector of those she cares for, a champion of the unfortunate, a collector of stray cats and a lover of good, hearty food.
Gretta loves children and has grand dreams of settling down with a hard-working gentleman and starting a family of her own. She isn't socially inept but she doesn't really pick up on social cues - so it's hard for her to tell when someone's giving her a compliment or showing a personal interest in her.
She is quite talented at baking pies, cookies and the like but Gretta excels at cooking meals from scratch - her beef stew is renowned and she actually won a chili cooking contest or five. She is modest to a fault, and probably a little too humble when it comes to praise - but she's headstrong and oftentimes opinionated when she firmly believes in something.
The Bed and Breakfast she runs (with the help of a very small staff) is her crowning glory, her pride and joy. It's been in her family for years, but it wasn't until the death of her parents that The Huckleberry Inn fell into her hands. She'd been helping them run it for years, and after her mother and father passed in a fatal car accident Gretta threw herself into running the Inn with a passion and fervor that made it easier to manage her own grief.
DEITYWhich deity blessed your character and marked them for recruitment? Hera.
What makes them fit within the sphere of this particular god? Gretta can cook her a** off, dreams of being the perfect wife and mother, and finds nothing more satisfying than providing people with country comfort at her bed and breakfast, The Huckleberry Inn. After all, home is where the heart is.
