Theia


8.10.11 // I feel like I need to make her flaws more prominently shown. I have her pretty set in my mind, but rereading my profile I don't want anyone to get confused, soo~ yeah.
8.9.11 // So, being possessed by trying to create my character, I have finished. I feel like this is an OK profile to go ahead and submit for review so, here goes nothing? ; Working on profile skeleton and other wonderful things. Enjoy the rough draft so far, I guess.

Name: Theia
Meaning: Titan goddess of sight and light
Nickname(s): Tia
Age (Appearance Wise): Early 20's
Age (Actual): 2 months
Personality:
Honest
sincere; frank; genuine or unadulterated
Theia calls it as she sees it. If you ask her a direct question, you will get a direct answer. This honesty of her's is a double edged sword. Never ask Theia her opinion on something unless you really want to hear it because good or bad, she will give it to you if you ask.
Methodical
painstaking, especially slow and careful; deliberate.
Theia is not a spontaneous person. She thinks out what she does carefully before doing it. Her cautious attitude makes her efficient in her endeavors, but when applied to people, she over thinks everything and finds it difficult to say or do the right thing for people to like her very much.
Enduring
lasting; permanent; patient; long-suffering; to bear without resistance or with patience
Theia, when presented with a job or asked to do something, will do her best to fulfill the task. She believes that if you say you will do something, that you should fulfill it to the best of your abilities. So, when she does something, she does it wholeheartedly, without complaints and with patience.
Creative
having the quality or power of creating; characterized by originality of thought; having or showing imagination
Theia is always thinking and day dreaming when she has free time. Ever since she was created 2 months ago, she was filled with an insatiable desire to create something. She draws and paints in her spare time, but is very embarrassed by her lack of skill. However, she still loves to create, whether in her own mind or clumsily on paper.
Separate
to keep apart or divide; to set apart; disconnect; dissociate
Not necessarily a loner by nature, Theia has a hard time integrating herself with anyone which leads to long lapses of solitude. She worries what people think of her strangeness and usually feels a little gloomy.
Earnest
fervent, intent, purposeful, determined, industrious, ambitious; serious and thoughtful
There are many things Theia desires- knowledge, purpose, community and skill. She may not be able to do everything she desires, but she won't stop with setbacks. She is determined, more or less, to succeed.
Thoughts on the Forest: Theia misses the Forest, and has a hard time understanding exactly how she came to be. The Forest, being her first real memory, is something she longs for and wants to understand.
Thoughts of Book Children: She finds them intriguing, beautiful and confusing all at the same time. Because of her tendency to be in her own head, she hasn't made any friends, but she doesn't have a low opinion of anyone.
Thoughts on City People: Theia finds the City People part terrifying and part mystical. She has a harder time understanding and communicating with them than the others. Because of this difficulty, she becomes more timid around them, not ever completely sure what they're saying. She respects them, however, because she knows that take care of the Library-City and all the books inside. However, their inky black appearances never fail to frighten her on sight.
Physical Appearance:
Hair: Black, 2 long messy braids
Eye color: Light gray
Skin tone and features: Tan, Petite, Heart-shaped face, full lips
Outfit: muted tones, grays, dusty rose.

Hobbies: star gazing, reading, painting, and anything scientific
Birthday: February 18th
Zodiac: Aquarius
Favorite Things: information, science, trees, poetry
Hated Things: knives, feeling alone, being lost
Desires: companionship, love, and the ability to paint something beautiful.

Dreams: that one day she'll be able to make a real friend and never feel alone again.

Please don't be too mean. emo Any advice is very welcome, however. I want to make sure that Theia is completely fleshed out and makes sense to everyone.

I'm here to be mean to you, deal with it. RAWR!
I kid.

I know you said you wanted to flesh her out more as a character, and I believe that is a good idea to help people get more of an understand of who she is, and what she is like. No one needs a novel of course, and sometimes getting straight to the point with character traits is nice, but it never hurts to add a little mean to those points. :3

Here are just some questions I asked myself while reading over her current information;

1. Honest and Methodical.
You said that Theia has an honest nature about her, not exactly blunt or mean with her words, but honest and to the point. You also said that when it comes to socializing with others she has a hard time figuring out exactly what to say to others
Is this because she knows she will be honest with her words, and thus doesn't really want to blow a chance of making some kind of good impression by saying the wrong thing, or letting something slip? Or is she just literally and seriously over thinking each little step and confusing herself in the process?

2. Seperate
I don't think I saw this anywhere, and if it is there then I am blind right now, but how exactly is she strange? Is there something literally strange about her, or is it all in head due to her worries about not fitting in, and just saying she is strange is her way of answering why she has a hard time fitting in?

3. Earnest
I'm interested in knowing what exactly Theia does to help her reach her goal of being part of the community, despite the fact that she over thinks her words, and has lapses of solitude due to her failures.

HOME~
Don't think I saw it anywhere, but where exactly is Theia staying? Does she have an adoptive City Person or Book Child, or is she on her own with her own little place?
