Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Areki Davidian
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Nationality: Armenia
Reason(s) for joining LOTUS:
-Wants to escape a planned marriage.
-Killed the first man she was engaged to.
-Didn't want to be stuck in traditional women roles
Pertinent skills:
-Basic Household Skills (cooking, cleaning): Armenian women are adept at housework, due to the fact that they are seen as the ones who raise the children and take care of the home. Areki is no exception. Just... don't ask unless you're in a good relationship with her. She's quite sharp when it comes to her old duties.
-Dancing: Taught by her grandmother, dancing and music is one of the things that Areki does rather openly. Ask her to show you a dance, and she will. Insult her dancing, you will probably get slapped.

The Father: Jarair Davidian
Like most Armenian girls, Areki never truly knew her father. Sure, he was there some of the time, but he was never around long enough for her to truly get to know him. He's pretty solid, never breaking and never (at least in public) to be seen crying. He works hard to sustain his family, but never really proved his worth to Areki. She loves him all the same, however.

The Mother: Osan Madatian
Areki never liked her mother. She, in Areki's mind, was so confused and stupid that she had no place where she belonged. Areki, however, cannot see the care and love that Osan grants her daughter, and she often misses the pain that her mother goes through for her. Osan is a rather quiet, shy mother with a heart of gold and a rather confusing personality. She wanted Areki to be happy when she got married, thus setting her up with Haro. Osan also suspected her daughter of murdering the poor man, since she was the only one with a key, but said nothing in fear of Areki getting banished or killed outright.

The Grandmother: Undza Sarian
The closest and dearest to Aleki's heart, Undza was the only one Aleki felt truly bad for leaving. She taught the girl how to dance, sing, and read. Undza has a complicated past, however, for she once killed a man robbing a young girl. She was once a hard wall, unbreakable, but has gradually softened through the years. She excels in the Armenian language and all of their folk dances.

Facts

Background Information:
Hometown: Shorjha Village, Armenia
Language Spoken: English, mostly, but also Armenian
Children?: None
What their childhood was like: Areki's childhood was spent with her confused and overly caring mother, as well as her grandmother. Although her mother was always there, her grandmother was the one who truly cared for Areki. Due to the fact that the family was poor, Areki did not grow up with such luxuries as others did.
Skills she learned as a child: From her grandmother she learned to dance and read. Possibly cook, as well, though her mother claims that she taught her daughter how to cook. Otherwise she learned everything else from a public school in Shorjha Village.

Personality:
Personality Overview:
Areki isn't exactly the friendliest person in the world. She's rather bitter when she doesn't get a say in things, and can often turn violent if the situation calls for it. She maintains a calm outside composure, though on the inside it seems that she is slowly losing control of her mind. Although sometimes she shows this uncertainty and desperateness, she will blame it on some random, outside source. The only true thing she is sure she loves is dancing and singing, and can often be found humming and sometimes stepping in the beautiful patterns of an Armenian folk dance.
Habits:
-Often dances
-When upset she begins twirling her hair with her left hand.
-When annoyed she'll start stomping her feet and shaking her head.
-Will sing random songs off the top of her head
