Name: Constance Blair
Nicknames: Connie
Gender: Female
Age: 13
Fav. Food: Jelly donuts, string cheese, and rose tea
Hated Food: Tomato soup, Brussels sprouts, and pasta
Gift: Sewing/tatting bobbin lace - Her grandmother, who had learned it in her home country of Germany, taught it to her when she was 8. She thinks it's amazing taking thread and creating the soft, delicate lace. When she was 11, she made a small heart pocket and sewed it onto her Aunt's wedding dress, turning the simple dress into an elegant one.
Virtues: Humor -- Albert Einstein said that 'Humor is more important than knowledge' and though Connie doesn't know he did, she has a very good ability to perceive and express things that are funny. She'll laugh at the dumbest joke, or worst pun, and uses it as a defense mechanism when she's in an awkward situation or when she feels nervous. Connie also just loves laughing and smiling.
Generosity -- Although it takes her some time to complete a piece of lace, she wants to share it's beauty with everyone, and so often gives it to the first person she meets. She doesn't often have extra money, so when someone needs help, she gives them as much of her time as she can if it's a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on or a companion for a shopping trip, she'll do it all.
Intuitive -- One can't hide things from Connie, she's very good at perceiving the feelings of people and being able to tell when they are upset and trying to hide it (or even when they have a secret they can't share). She's very tuned in to the feelings of her close friends, and even some strangers. Connie sometimes is empathetic when she keys into the emotions, and mirrors them back to the person.
Flaws: Self-conscious/critical -- Connie doesn't hate her glasses, but she feels like she looks odd and stands out with them. She'll pick an outfit to wear out, but the second someone looks at her longer than a second, she starts to nit pick it, or find flaw in how she looks. Connie knows she's not fat, by any means, but it bothers her when she sees other girls her age starting to develop, when she hasn't yet.
Honest -- Sometimes she's too truthful. She has trouble lying to someone to protect their feelings, and if she thinks something is wrong in a situation, she'll always speak her mind.
Innocent/Naive -- She wants so desperately to believe that there's good in everyone and that no one ever acts maliciously that she creates stories in her mind where all their actions are justifiable or they just didn't know what they were doing.
