Name: Rui Boswell
Nicknames: N/A
Pronouns: Female/she/her
Age: 17
Birthday: July 21st

School: St Cecelia’s School of the Arts

Hobbies:

  • Painting -- She's an avid watercolor enthusiast and takes every opportunity to paint. She dabbles in other painting mediums, but watercolor are where her heart lies. She likes to paint pictures of her parent's farm, or her grandparents' vineyard when she visits them, but she will paint any and everything that catches her interest. That might be why there are a lot of dragonfly paintings…

  • Gymnastics -- Her grandparents started paying for lessons when she was a tiny child, and though she has no interest in competing on a global stage, she enjoys going to local competitions. Her interest in the sport has also led her to have a passing fancy with parkour, which she's alright at. The spontaneity of it is exciting.



Pros:

  • Call my name, and I'll be there… Friendly -- She likes to think of everyone as a friend she hasn't met. She has no problems talking to a perfect stranger, or sitting with random people at lunch. It's hard for her to think of anyone as her enemy, even if they've wronged her once or twice. She starts to get a little upset and reserved by the third transgression, but she hasn't yet figured out where the point of no forgiveness is.

  • Carry on Generous -- She's very giving and generous, almost to a fault. Donate to orphans? Here's a dollar. Raise awareness for a disease? She'll volunteer for your event. Save the animals? She'll give her left arm. She's always willing to help out others, which could lead her to being taken advantage of if she isn't careful. She doesn't mind buying her friends lunch once in a while, but if it's every day then there's a problem.

  • The power of love Hard worker -- Her parents own a small farm on the outskirts of the city, and she loves working there on weekends. She puts her all into helping on the farm, or into her paintings, or gymnastics, because she loves what she's doing.


Cons:

  • Nothing at all I don't like any single word to describe this trait -- She has a short attention span for anything but painting and gymnastics. She hates watching movies because after an hour, she's ready to do something else. Asking her to binge watch a show is like trying to bathe a cat. It's a struggle, and she's not gonna go easily. Likewise, if it's something she doesn't want to do, or has no interest in the first place, she'll whine and moan about it, and probably not do a good job or be good company.

  • I want someone to love Naïve-- Because she automatically assumes everyone is her friend, everyone is in the friend-zone. While she loves the idea of romance, adores romantic fiction and would love to be in love, she has no clue how it looks in real life. Since she's also generous, she won't likely notice when someone is bad news and taking advantage of her kindness and generosity. For all she knows, they just need help.

  • She's got the power Hides what's wrong -- She will always downplay what's wrong. Did she get hurt? Oh, it's nothing. Is she upset? "I'm fine." She doesn't want to burden others with her problems, and doesn't want to show when she's feeling weak. She tries not to complain, but this can lead to her being overwhelmed and break down when things are just too much to handle.



General Appearance


User Image

This avi is a pretty good representation of what she looks like.

Rui has auburn/red hair that she typically has in 2 small buns to keep it away from her face, and leaves the rest hanging down free. Her hair is fairly long, coming down to about the small of her back. Her hair is straight or slightly wavy at best.

Her eyes are a molten golden color (Yellow to orange color range.)

Her favorite color combo is orange and pink, and typically wears those colors.

She doesn't wear typical belts, preferring to have cute ribbons (usually pink) instead.

It is not unusual to see her wearing cute leggings or tights under shorts or skirts for extra pops of color.

Hello Lural! Let's see what we can do about getting Rui into play for you!

Hobbies look good -- seems like she's got some fun things to do to keep her going.

Pros & Cons: As a brief note, to start out with, characters should have as many pros as they have cons -- a profile doesn't need to have more than two of each, but if there are more they should be balanced!

Right now for the pros you could potentially work some of the traits about being a hard worker into Generous or Loyalty to condense things? Maybe she's not just generous with her funds, but she's also generous with her time, putting in that extra work with her family because she cares. Or could it be a result of her Loyalty that she works so hard and enjoys what she's doing all the more?

For 'Easily Bored' maybe consider the term Restless? It seems like it might fit what you've got worded a little better as a descriptor!

For 'Romantically Clueless' -- this one seems a bit limiting as a flaw and we'd potentially recommend shifting it to something like Naieve or Unobservant and tweaking it accordingly. Naieve would at least possibly tie in to not yet figuring out where the line is on giving forgiveness that you've noted in 'Friendly' and it could also play into 'Generous' as well with the mention of easily taken advantage of.

You've got a good start with everything and with just a few adjustments she should be good to go!

If you have any questions or whenever you're ready to move on, quote me!

Restless is not quite what I'm going for, so I am not going to change "easily bored," because it fits what I have envisioned better. But I have modified the other things you suggested.

While 'Restless' may not be the exact word it was the first one we thought of at the time! The trait as you've described it doesn't come off as 'Easily Bored' so much as only interested in doing things that are specific to her interests and she makes it miserable on people otherwise if they try to make her do something that she doesn't want to do. Other word suggestions that we have for you, based on what you have written would be Petulant or Selfish.

We also appreciate you updating the header of your second trait to Naïve, the follow-up to the critique we provided on that trait was that it would still have to be tweaked/adjusted accordingly followed by providing suggestions on ways you could add on to that. You could even used the word Clueless but either way it will need to be updated to include more than just her romantic preferences!

Lastly, I apologize if there was a miscommunication in my recommendation to work Hard Worker into some of the other traits and I'll try to clarify it a bit further based on what we'd meant is that the trait, as you have it written, starts out as she is a hard worker and wraps up with 'only if it interests her' whereas someone who is inherently a hard worker would potentially work even harder at something they didn't like/weren't good at out of spite/just to prove that they can and are capable of doing so because being a hard worker is ingrained as part of who they are. The trait, as it stands, does not read 'hard worker' and unfortunately we won't be able to approve it as is!

If you have any further questions feel free to quote me! Additionally, you can quote me when you're ready to move on!
