----[Approved!]----


NAME : Alexandria “Alexa” Blanche
GENDER :  Cis Female
AGE :  26
OCCUPATION : Craft store employee
RACE : Human
LIKES : Rainy/overcast days, pleasant company, reading, learning, “adventure”
DISLIKES : Bright lights, allergens/smog, pompousness, extreme heat, intense music/sounds
LOOKS : Albino – Very pale hair and skin, wavy hair cut into short bob. Light pink eyes, slender but soft, short.

PERSONALITY :

Growing up with self serving parents, Alexa taught herself to be kind to others and to have an open heart. She's eager to please, often at her own expense, just to make sure those around her are at least content whenever she has any say in it – this often leads to emotional drain, but she does her best to keep it from others (even though Zale knows better). The girl is extremely lonely, her main and only source of company being Zale, and she yearns to make a life of her own away from her parents' reach. A hopeless romantic in all senses of the word, Alexa dreams of a thriving romance and endless adventure. Depending on the situation she finds herself in, she can be soft spoken or extremely excitable, so long as her current health allows it.

HISTORY :

Alexa was born into a rich family and raised in a very pompous environment, receiving only but the finer things in life. When she was young, she didn't know any better and accepted her surroundings, but as she grew older, the girl grew weary of the attitudes and outlooks of her peers. Private schooling only made these feelings stronger, and after some time, she even grew to detest the ways of her parents. At the age of fourteen, Alexa attempted to run away from home, taking only what she thought she needed – however, as a young and foolish child, she didn't take her limitations into account and found that she had to begrudgingly return to the care of her parents. While she had almost completed med school, her chronic illnesses and disabilities caused her to drop out. Going insane from being at home around her parents constantly, she defied their wishes and obtained a “commoner's” job at the local craft store.

(Additional non-guardian)

NAME : Zale Lathai
GENDER :  Male
AGE :  132
OCCUPATION : Butler appointed to Alexa
RACE : Elf
LIKES : Tea/coffee, piano, tending to Alexa, butterflies/moths
DISLIKES : Keeping feelings hidden, alcohol, deprivation of his duties, spiders
LOOKS : Tall, elegant. Long, light brown hair pulled into three low ponytails. Bright blue eyes, well kept appearance.

PERSONALITY :

Another kind individual, Zale shares a special connection with Alexa, and is often playful and teasing of her in particular. He is beyond loyal to his mistress, waiting on her hand and foot. Zale is steadfast and a bit of a workaholic, refusing to leave Alexa's side unless she requests he do so. The elf is especially overprotective of her and a bit of a worry wort, but he's always able to add a twist of humor if the situation calls for it. At times, he comes off as rather deadpan and straight forward, but he loves his job and enjoys meeting others.

HISTORY :

Having been born under the Blanche family's line of help, Zale was raised into the position of butler and caretaker. His own work didn't start until Alexa's father once he was old enough, he did his job and did it well – however, for him, his enjoyment didn't start until Alexa's birth. Upon her arrival into the world, Zale was assigned to her and it felt like his life had begun. He acted as a playmate, a sitter, and a caretaker, forming a silent bond with the girl. Even today, he tends to her needs as well as acts as a constant companion.

NAME: Shiny Fairbottom
GENDER: nonbinary; they/them pronouns
AGE: 33
OCCUPATION: Botanist specializing in the study and conservation of magical plants
RACE: Gnome
LIKES:
• Working ahead of schedule
• Propagating new plant specimens from clippings
• Mushroom pie
• Powerpoint presentations
• Keeping things neat and tidy

DISLIKES:
• Missing deadlines
• Being obligated to attend social functions
• Plant pots with no drainage
• Being unprepared
• Confrontation

LOOKS: At just over three feet tall, Shiny is a solidly average height for a gnome, and considerably smaller than most human adults. Their hair is dull auburn, curly, and is usually pinned or slicked back in an attempt to keep it out of the way while working. Their skin is on the fairer side of tan, and freckled. Their ears are large and pointed, though nowhere near as long as an elf's; their build is stocky. Shiny's wardrobe isn't particularly whimsical, and skews much more toward function than form, consisting of a lot of very practical slacks, collared shirts, and drab sweater-vests (with a few modestly peaked caps and a simple tunic-style robe for when they need to look Fancy.) These are topped off with an apron and other protective gear when Shiny is working, though their clothes always get dirty regardless. Their large, white acetate-framed glasses are swapped out for a pair of custom prescription safety goggles when needed.

PERSONALITY: Shiny is a conscientious and responsible gnome who gives their best effort in everything they do. They're very dedicated to their work, and can talk about it at great length at the slightest provocation; they're also earnestly interested to hear about other people's jobs and hobbies, or whatever it is that someone is passionate about. They enjoy meeting new people, but dealing with crowds and large gatherings (of strangers especially) takes a lot out of them, so they're the type that tends to leave parties early. Shiny prefers a calm and quiet environment, and gets nervous when feeling out of their element; they're most at ease when they have the opportunity to prepare for an unfamiliar situation, ie. looking up a restaurant's menu online before eating there for the first time. Shiny is easily startled, and is prone to tripping over their words when excited or nervous. They are respectful to everyone, especially the elderly and cats.

One of the most valuable lessons Shiny learned when living in a mostly-human community for the first time is how to make eye contact with someone several feet taller than themself without seeming to be looking up at the person. Shiny is used to being the first gnome that most Gaians have met; fielding questions about whether gnomes actually live in gardens can be annoying after a while, but Shiny does their best to take it in stride.

HISTORY: Shiny grew up in a gnomish community in western Gaia, a middle child in a family of seven children. The Fairbottom household was a typical one, large (by human standards) and bustling, with anywhere between fifteen and twenty-five immediate and extended family members coming and going all the time. These days, that number has settled closer to twelve, as Shiny and several of their siblings have chosen to pursue work or education in different parts of Gaia. In general, the Fairbottoms are close-knit and supportive of each other, but not overbearing. Each member of the family is enouraged to follow their own passions without interference, since taking pride in one's work is particularly important to gnomes. Still, in a family of that size, the inevitable lack of personal space can be tough for an introvert, which was one of the deciding factors in Shiny's choice to attend college away from home, pursuing an interest in magic they'd had from an early age.

Seeking a career in a magic-related field isn't unheard of among gnomes, but it is somewhat unusual; Shiny's parents were kind of confused by this choice (think: a family of lawyers learning that their child wants to be a stage magician.) Shiny started out in a fairly ambitious program for high-level pact magic, but found themself very ill-suited to the pressures of working with an arcane entity, and they floundered more and more each semester before finally switching majors to a less spell-heavy field of study. Eventually, they graduated with a degree in magi-botanical sciences. Afterward, they moved back home briefly before finding employment near the Port of Gambino at Little Leaf Research Center, a botanical research lab (and occasional garden shop), working with both magical and non-magical plants.
