Description » finished
[write here]
indentKsenija is the irrefutable picture of feminine elegance. She was raised within the forests surrounding Trine's Environs; closest to Atlini Hold. Her skin is slightly tanned from the sun's rays; while the girl's body is finely tuned with an athletic grace that moves with a certain poise. Her well curved hips jut outwards from her waist at gentle angles. She has long legs that are shapely and well toned from many turns of walking everywhere. Her long blond curls bounce towards her hips and hug them when she walks. Darker roots warn of dirtier blonde coming into the beautiful curls the young woman refuses to cut. Her face is narrow yet contains smooth angles, making her chin rounded and set. Her nose, narrow with a slight flare at the nostrils, sits upon her face with a sense of refinement to it's smooth features. Her eyes are a gentle blue color with darker navy blue edges bordering the iris with a wide, almond-shape. She is five foot nine inches in stature, with roughly one hundred and fifty-eight pounds in weight. This doesn't throw her off however, instead she uses it to her advantage. The woman's clothing is somewhat flashy, and definitely she enjoys showing off her curves in the finest threads her mother could afford to send her.

Personality » finished
[write here]
indentA person is only as beautiful as they are on the inside. One may take a look at stereotypes and assume that an appealing teenager is a snobby, aristocratic, narcissistic fool. This is not what one would see when they look into Ksenija's heart and mind. They would see an ambitious, strong-willed woman with heaps of determination blossoming within her. A perfectionist who calculates and frowns upon any failure. Goal-oriented with an optimism that knows no bounds. Thoughtful and witty, she goes about her daily chores with a devotion that she feels must be sought in in all things one does.
indentWork is meant to be accomplished before one goes about their play. And Ksenija takes this very seriously. She despises laziness and loathes whiners, unless they are children in distress. Independent from those around her, she takes care of herself, not indulging in partnerships that do not meet a common goal. With no interest in being looked after and doted upon, she is a hard woman to woo.
indentAlthough, very rebellious to men of superior standing than herself, she remains awkwardly polite. Despite resenting men in general after finding out her "father" was not really her father. She seeks to carry out her own agenda when possible. She has an odd way of doing things, which has been known to cause people to dislike her, or think she takes the hard road in everything. She is a very controlling person, wanting to control every situation that involves her, and despises when a person butts heads with her. Ksenija is not one to back down from an altercation, and has fought many times during her candidacy, outside of clutching moments due to obscene comments on her figure. Calculative and precise she faces her problems head on.
indentKsenija does not trust anyone. She feels as though if she were to let people in she would only get hurt. This is a defense mechanism taken up when her mother remarried and she was shunned away. Her fury can be unrestrained, and her intolerance of failure makes her sometimes impractical. Deep down inside of her she is a truly vain women, and knows to the full extent her assets which can be used to her advantage against men. Ksenija can be a very private young woman, not revealing her secrets. She doesn't like when people pry into her private life and has been called incredibly distant and sometimes even callous. She can be harsh and cold when first meeting someone, though she does not intend to be, it is her mistrust of people that comes into play.
indentAll and all, Ksenija is a harsh, tarnished gem that seeks to war her hurt on those around her. She is rash and sometimes unstable, but she craves something more; not as a romantic party, but just something to fill the void within her. Because of her genuine mistrust of humanity, she does not interact well with her peers; preferring to spend her free time with the dragons or even the wild flits nearby. She enjoys work, and usually gives herself more to do when a task has been completed.

History » finished
[write here]
indentTo understand this young woman's past history, one would need to delve into the past of the girl's mother, Nadica. Nadica was a healer in Trine, her world revolved around healing. She was married at a young age and she was satisfied with this marriage. Until she met him. A bronze rider named C'mant. He was older than she, but by no means was he an old man. He'd had a reputation for bedding many women in his short adult hood, but she shoved his past behind, looking at the man he'd shown her alone.
x
indent
One evening, a gold flight began to take place. By this time, Nadica was walking home, her heart racing with hormones that she couldn't shake. She ran into C'mant on this night. Unfathomable feelings burned into her heart when she saw him and soon the two got to talking in a Klav shop, their hearts racing. Soon, the pair was within the bronze rider's barracks, their bodies entangled in a ritual of instinct that felt so right to the young woman. Her body melded easily with his and his scent filled her nostrils to the point of madness. The next morning, however, she awakened earlier then the man she'd gone to bed with. Married, she was horrified at realizing this man was the one she loved; even more than her husband. So, in the grey of morning, the woman slipped away to her home.
x
indent
After a few hours, her husband and her leave Trine and move further away, she never spoke to C'mant again. However, her thoughts turned to him in the growing months as her stomach began to swell from the petite womanly figure to a swollen bubble of baby. Nine months later, the woman gave birth to a beautiful baby girl with pale curls. Nadica's husband was less than thrilled, though he said nothing; instead shunning Nadica's daughter. This pushed mother and daughter closer together.
x
indent
When the child turned nine turns old, Nadica's husband passed away. The woman felt incapable of taking care of her daughter on her own; so once more they moved from Atlini Hold, to one of Trine's other territories and settled there. She met a new man and Ksenija disapproved of the tailor's being. She despised the man instantly, and confessed to her mother on multiple occasions her dissatisfaction. She began to act out, and when she turned ten turns of age, her mother gave birth to twins, enticing the man to marry her. Angry with her mother and her mother's choice of husband, the girl's attitude towards superiors only continued to worsen.
x
indent
At the age of thirteen turns, the girl was searched from a small shop in one of Trine's holds. Unknown to her, a dragon rider's blood surged through her veins and she was taken to Trine Weyr to begin her candidacy as a potential dragon rider. The child attended her classes, though still seemed to be distrustful of those around her. Not wanting to let anyone get close to her for fear of the way they'd become later on, and the other candidates began to be cruel. However she looked forward to letters from her siblings,and frequently received and wrote letters to, Bogdan and Cvetka. The twins kept her in the loop on the family, and even gave her some hope.
x
indent
When the girl turned fifteen, she received word from her mother that she and her husband were divorcing. It made the girl's heart soar and she requested of her candidate master that she be allowed to go and see her mother and siblings. Given permission, since no clutches were happening, she was taken to her mother's hold and immediately began to open up to her mother. Her mother had become a fine seamstress and had sewn together several beautiful garments for her eldest daughter. Not wanting this to end, the pair regained their affections, and that overflowed onto Ksenija's siblings. Finally, she had her little group back and it made her feel overjoyed.
x
indent
Ksenija returned to the weyr with a happiness and optimism that she'd never shown before. But those hidden emotions of distrust still plagued her. She became an even harder worker, wanting to show her family she could achieve anything she wanted. Soon, another hatching came and she received her chance once more. Attending, she was hoping to get her very own dragon this time around. She'd been a candidate for two years, but, alas it did not happen. Disappointment pulled at the young woman. She had been in two standings but had not had any success within it's functions. However, determination thrust her onward, not looking back.
x
indent
Now nineteen turns old, the girl is reaching the end of her career as a candidate. Ever optimistic, she feels like this time, she will be successful in attaining that part of her she'd always been missing. Just one little part of her to be replaced and reborn. Something she'd never known as missing. Ksenija is thoroughly hopeful that this time, she will make it to her goal of a dragon rider.

xxxxposting color#CDC673 aka Khaki3
xxxxposition on Dragons │ Ksenija loves and adores dragons, of all colors. To her she cannot fathom a world where dragons don't exist. They protect humans, it's a symbiotic relationship.
xxxxposition on Whers │ Ksenija has little experience with Whers, typically when they're out an about she is safely asleep in her bed. The whers are a necessity however, and she doesn't feel like they should ever disappear.
xxxxposition on Thread │ To be honest, Ksenija is intrigued by thread. She wants to study it, despite the danger.
xxxxher goals │ Ksenija's goal in life is to become a leader. To fly and lead her troops into battle. So what if she is a girl? She wants to show her stuff.
xxxxher fears │ Ksenija is afraid to go home empty handed. She doesn't want to be a disappointment to her mother. She is troubled by this fear and it has become a true fear of her's.

xxxxthoughts on resistance │ Ksenija really has no true position of the resistance, she had no play within it's folds and therefore has no opinion.
xxxxthoughts on revolution │ Ksenija believes all dragons should be equal. She feels the revolution was a good way to show that ideal.

xxxxfamily members │ Nadica (mother, alive) ;; Bogdan && Cvetka (half-brother && half-sister, alive) ;; C'mant (unknown father && bronze rider of Smamurth)

Hey there! Sorry for the delay, there's just a few points to go over before I can approve her!

- Her personality looks fine but I'd like to know a bit more about what she enjoys, what makes her happy and so on. I'd also like to know what she's like in a social situation when the day's work is done; does she like to associate with peers? Prefer to keep to herself? Look for extra work to do?


- History is fine for the most part, however I don't quite understand why her mother chose to move half way across the world with her? If she was already struggling to take care of her daughter in a place where she knew people it would surely have been much harder surrounded by strangers.

Also if you choose to keep them having moved to Malvren's territories then Ksenija would have been Searched to Malvren Weyr rather than Trine Weyr. If you would like her to be a candidate at Trine then she must have been living in Trine's territories when she was Searched.


Thanks! If you have any questions please let me know.

Okay, I went threw, changed all the Malvren to Trine; I also put in that she dislikes humans due to her distrust and therefore doesn't really try to be around them. She rather spend time with other creatures.

Just look over, if it looks good then great~!

Birthdate:
-Don't include a birth year. Nobody else has kept track, specifically, and the dates in the guild are inaccurate now xD; so don't worry about a specific date. You can say a season if you like!

Description:
-You can't be tanned and pale at the same time, she's either tan or not.
-Nobody moves with a surreal litheness, perhaps she's simply graceful.
-Eyes set 1.5 inches to either side of the face is.... rather far. Touch the space between your nose and corner of your eye, is it 1.5 inches?

Personality:
- "A perfectionist who calculates and frowns upon a lack of fleeting failure" => she desires frequent severe failure? why would she frown upon failure, let alone failure that's inconsequential enough to be fleeting?
- If she loathes whiners and those who are lazy, do those people fall into a different category then those in distress?
- How can she be so open to helping others if she is so resentful of people?
- How is she so well practiced and smooth and graceful in combat? Why did she have need of that?
- what does "However, her impracticality can be forced from a lack of faith in other people" mean?
- Biggest issue: how can she be so warm and helpful when she's well known for being distant and callous?
- such a hot-cold personality would be more believable if she had a personality/mental disorder, and while that would make her a fascinating character if she suffered such a disorder, she would be ineligible for Candidacy.
- Smooth out the contradictory statements regarding her personality and I'll re-review!

History:
- Your history does not touch on where she learned to fight at all, let alone her mastery to the point of grace. Either remove it from the personality or modify the history to account for it
- I like your history, it's well written, so I would personally vote for removing the combat aspect

Other:
- "A rebellious punk, if she can do something to piss someone off, she'd do it." Your personality does not reflect this joy of angering others. Please either add it or modify this.

Address these concerns and I'll be glad to approve!

I hope I edited to your liking~ Once I move her form to the new place I'll do the necessary edits for clutch and stuff. I know she would've qualified for that clutch that happened before inactivity.

Description:
-"a thin layer of darker tint from basking within the light of the sun" - this says she's tanned still. Please modify
-"that moves with a surreal litheness" I also asked you to remove this

Personality:
-Paragraph 1 => Good
-Paragraph 2 => Good
-Paragraph 3 => "Like everything she does, her battle style is smooth and difficult to figure out. Calculative and precise she faces her problems head on. " I also specifically mention that this makes no sense and unless you're going to remove it, you need to account for it in her history. Please do so.
-Paragraph 4 => " She can be incredibly secretive around other's and doesn't tend to remain in that are for too long." clarify, very confusing
-Paragraph 5 => "she wants for that one person who will care for her and genuinely be there for her" I forgot to mention this last review, but don't cheapen her independence by making her be just another 'what I really want is a man!' character. You're going for a powerful but damaged woman type of character and this particular desire of hers, especially when you mention the difficulty of wooing AND her indepence, does not jive.

History:
-Good

Other:
-Good

Oh yeah, the update for the jump doesn't include Impression for your character... I'd reccomend doing that after you've won/earned a dragon in the re-opening events =3
PostPosted: Thu Apr 30, 2015 9:49 pm


SkieBorne


Thank you, my apologies, I'd thought I had edited those points but I guess it didn't save (I had to continuously go back to edit and read what you'd posted, haha).

I just feel a little like I should explain myself, the battle thing was meaning more along the lines of the the sentence above that, and supposed to join the sentence following. But my mind is weird in writing. No one usually understands it.

The only other part I wanted to defend myself on, I was referring to a bonded partner, a dragon; in her sentence someone to truly care about her. I just didn't word it properly. I worded it poorly indeed and it came out wrong. I hope now it makes more sense. Although independent, she is still human, and humans crave contact on a deeper sense, whether it's promiscuous or friendly.

But I hope these edits work, and I'll definitely revamp it if she is rewarded/won a dragon. Another question, did you say we could rewrite our characters (my Kalendol and Kynigoth for example) could be written in the new guild now?

You cannot rewrite a character for the update. A dragon's personality is set. This isn't an alternate universe... it's a time jump. So what we're asking is for you to copy a profile over to the new guild and add a portion to their history or as a second post in the thread about what they've done during the 10 years.

This can incorporate character development, yes, but we are not allowing re-writes for either characters or dragons.

I'll do a re-review tomorrow after work as I have to sleep but the quick boo tells me things are heading in a right direction =3

Sorry, I seem to be too distracted at the moment I keep being misunderstood for my lack of clarity. But I understand now.

And thank-you dear, hope things are better this time 'round.
