I'm the type of person who starts out with one idea and, once I actually start roleplaying the dear and her character develops, I learn more about her and what she herself might want to do, so I'll list ideas, but keep in mind that they might change as her character develops.

Appearance
Cypress, and much of her personality, are taken from the beautiful, yet delicate, Standing Cypress plant. The flower comes in two main colors, a lavender shade and a bright pink. In the spirit of trying to stick to the Choleric colors, I would prefer to stick to the lavender (which I was able to find a gray that looks almost purplish x.x) for her eyes and accents, as it is a calmer color than the pink. For her general clothing, however, a nice shade of forest green and any accents done in silver or tan, and, if it's possible, the lavender (dark gray/purplish color).
Cypress is rather modest, and her clothing reflects that part of her personality. While modest, she, like most journeymen, is still athletic and has an appealing figure, but she chooses to display her curves and well-tanned skin in a less-revealing manner. I envision her clothing to include a skirt about knee-length, soft leather boots rising to mid-calf, and silver highlights in the design. The top has a high collar with a slight vertical oval dip space to reveal a small area of skin (above the cleavage line!) and, at the longest, 3/4 length sleeves.
As for Cypress herself, as all journeyman, she is of an average athletic build with a small to medium bust. Her hair is a pale green, almost the inside color of a cucumber ((sorry to steal the analogy, but it worked perfectly!)). Her eyes match the lavender petal color of her namesake and sparkle with an inner intelligence. Her skin is well-tanned from the time she spends outdoors, tending flowers and learning the ways of the natural animal inhabitants of the land. Freckles grace her face and give her an even younger appearance. Her lips are a pale pink and full, perfect for one of her favorite pastimes; singing and humming while she's about her work.
The Choleric symbol is tattooed in a dark, forest green on the back of her neck, but off center, towards the right side of her neck if viewing from the back. It is also embroidered into each outfit at differing places so that it can be viewed from the front as well.

Personality
Cypress, like most journeymen, has a wide range of interests and abilities, and, as a Choleric, has a generally stable emotional foundation, though she can be prone to a short outburst if overly stressed. Generally, however, she is rather quiet, making most people unrightly think her shy. She prefers to listen and observe and does her best to judge no one. She is often approached as a sounding board for other's ideas and problems, and listens intently and thinks long and hard before offering any advice.
Cypress gives her respect freely to everyone she meets, holding them in the highest esteem and treating them with respect until and unless they prove to her that they are undeserving of her treatment. Many see her as a "suck-up" for her treatment of others, however, that is a great misunderstanding. The thought of making others "earn" her respect is discomforting for her, as that means that she is high enough above them to give them a reason to try and earn her respect. Seeing everyone on a more equal playing field, she chooses to respect instantly, which earns her the loyalty of her closest friends and, in dire situations, the respect of her foes in a tight situation.
While generally a more quiet type, if engaged in conversation, Cypress can be quite a talker. However, she is always afraid of interrupting someone's conversation and will likely remain quiet unless approached or asked for her opinion, which she will then readily supply. When speaking, she always keeps a soft voice and tone, true to her calm nature and the delicate nature of her namesake. Often in classes, she has to be asked to speak up so that her answers and opinions may be heard.
She is constantly learning about others and is very observant and empathetic, striving to understand the emotions of others. As for her own emotions, Cypress tries to not be overly dramatic. She tends to be quiet and posed and has a strong focus which can sometimes prove to be too singular, blinding her to the obvious. It takes quite a bit of stress for her to break down. Even in a crisis, she remains cool and level-headed until after the danger is passed, when she will frequently collapse onto her bed in tears from the sheer stress of the event.
