Name: Iafri
Age: 17
Gender: Female
History:
The child of two prisoners, though she knows not which two, Iafri was of course raised by the guards. But she knows they're not her family by blood, leading her to worry about her ancestry and what potential she might have to be 'bad.' This has taken her in the complete opposite direction, to be retiring and non-confrontational.
Growing up, she was a tag-along to more dominant children, obeying them as if they were real authority figures, and was always just sort of there. She was largely ignored unless they wanted something from her, the type that people tend to take for granted and forget is around, who as part of the background hears and sees a lot, and that continues into the present day.
Appearance:
Her hair is dark brown, though lightened some by the sun, her skin is tanned, and her eyes are grayish-blue. Her height, at 5'4", is unremarkable in either direction, and her figure is simply average. Feminine, but nothing worth drawing successive looks. Iafri's face is pretty enough, but always marred by dark circles under her eyes, and is rarely lit by a real smile.
Personality:
Iafri is meek and submissive, the sort of person who's always looking down and away from whoever's talking to her, and has a nervous manner at all times. She's forever chewing on her fingernails, shuffling her feet, or fussing with her clothes - she just can't be still. She'll speak, mostly when spoken to, but never raises her voice. If she didn't really hear what you said, she'll pretend she did and give whatever the most appropriate non-verbal response seems to be, because she'd rather not bother you by asking you to repeat yourself. She'll only double-check if you were telling her what to do, because she can't afford to not know that and get it wrong.
She shies away from violence entirely, even rough-and-tumble play, and conflict in general. She won't argue with anyone, even in a friendly manner; she would rather agree, get it over with, and have things go back to being peaceful. Well, as much so as they get. If someone asks her to do something, she'll do it with few if any questions asked, as long as it doesn't involve confrontation or physical harm of any kind. She'll take someone else's chores, give them something of hers if they demand it, help spread a rumor, or even steal.
Iafri doesn't like being this way, but what can she do? If she were to change, she'd have to stand up for herself, be responsible, lose her 'friends,' and all sorts of other terrifying things. She chides herself for being such a doormat, but doesn't have the courage to pick herself up off the ground, leading her to be self-deprecating and constantly frustrated.
When left to herself, Iafri is kind and gentle, especially with children, or with individuals similar to herself. She'll smile, laugh, and even stop chewing her fingernails. She's a good shoulder to cry on, a sympathetic listener, and surprisingly, a keeper of secrets to those who are honestly friendly to her. Her loyalty and gratitude to those genuine few runs deep, and she will not betray them.
Is this character being trained as a 'White Candidate'? No.
Other: That be all!
