Vala

[Vala]

[color=#FFFFFF] Technical Information Race: Inarta Birthday & Age : Season of Spring, Day 1, 494 AV : 17 Years old Gender: Female Height: 5’2" Weight: It’s not polite to ask a lady how much she weighs (But if you really must know, 110lb) Eye Color: Dark Blue Hair Color: Crimson Physical Description Try Not to Gag from the Awesomeness : Tiny and cute, Vala uses her lithe, 5’frame and easy smile to get away with most anything. As a full blooded Inarta, Vala has all the typical features of her race. When a light hits her eyes they shine, bright blue. Vala prefers her dark, crimson hair let loose, down to her hips, but when she is working she puts her hair up in to two pigtails, high up on her head, to keep it out of the way. Her hair usually lies flat and is easy to manage; she rarely brushes it; the ends curl naturally. Without much money to spend, Vala keeps to simple clothes: A plain black Byrda; Vinati; scarf; ankle length pair of boots; and Katinu. Vala’s favorite colors are black and silver, exhibited in her clothing choice. She also believes black is a super efficient color. Her main distinguishing mark is the burn scar, in the shape of a heart, on her left palm. She was burned the first time she worked in a Hot shop, by a careless artisan. Since the 4th of Spring, 511, Vala has been wearing a simple lampwork bead in a thin braid that lies by her right temple. From this Thread Secret : Character Concept (Spoiler) She's Crazy : Vala’s cutesy-pleasant manner and initial meekness when meeting people is a not exactly a façade, but she purposely exaggerates her childishness to lower peoples' guards. Vala hates to feel bored, when she is bored she tends to get in trouble. She is very manipulative, demanding, and aspires for ‘immortality’, no matter what the cost. Though Vala is quite self assured, she is still childish; she refuses to acknowledge her short comings as weaknesses, which prevents her from ever fixing them. She is petulant when she is refused what she wants, or believes she deserves, but because she is usually smaller and grew up without connections, Vala resorts to passive-aggressive attacks and sabotage to get even with others. She holds grudges for years: she still holds a grudge against a small child who got her favorite scarf dirty; she's been holding the grudge for 14 years. When Vala feels frustrated or angry at a situation or others, instead of breaking things, she cries: which makes her angrier. She lashes out verbally and tries to hurt people emotionally. Unlike most Inarta, Vala hates to be touched: she will scream if hugged; she will tolerate affection if it means getting her way. Which is strange since she loves to socialize with people, but she always keeps them at a distance; she feels uncomfortable letting people too close to her, afraid they will take advantage of her. She has yet to let anyone know that she is actually quite evil: she has yet to be caught torturing Dek; she usually takes her frustrations out on them because she knows they can't fight back: Vala doesn't realize how cowardly she is: she replaces self respect with over confidence in her destiny. Vala is also very prejudiced, she hates the Dek for their lack of achievement in life. She constantly debates with herself why so many are allowed to live, when only a few of them are required to help maintain Wind Reach. She has a large self-entitlement complex. She only respects those at her level and above. Vala idolizes the strong Endal for the fear and respect that they command, but she hopes to achieve respect from others, and herself, from the mastering of an art form that will hopefully, change the world with its beauty. Character History Pretty Whacked Out if You Ask Me : As an abandoned byproduct of a liaison, Vala was raised in a large communal nursery, cared for by Commoners. She was spoiled early on by her caretakers as long as she made sure to appear nice and demure whenever there were elders around her. Around her peers, she acted completely different. Vala loves to play well-meaning pranks on her friends, and less well-meaning pranks on people she find deserve a good ‘in-place-putting’. Eventually she was caught, once, torturing a malformed Dek. Though it is not illegal in Wind Reach to mistreat the lower caste, her teachers realized that Vala wasn't so sweet, and grew wary of her. Vala learned how to hide her anger and 'activities' better. When she was transferred to the youth section of the city, she began putting all her energy to beating her peers. She was a horrible gloater when she won, and a bitter loser when she wasn’t the best. She wasn’t the smartest of them all, but Vala is definitely one of the craftiest. She loves to get things done, but she also loves to have a good time: leading to procrastination until the last minute and a frantic scramble to finish, and finish well. Vala found that the more she worked, the less bored she was, and the less she hurt others. Vala’s enthusiasm and innate skill, attracted the attention of an Artisan who chose her as an apprentice at age twelve. She worked hard, and learned fast, but her Master was killed in an impromptu knife fight on the street when an angry customer challenged her master’s workmanship. She is now looking for a new master to teach her or at least let her work in their Hot shop to work on her own and earn her keep. One day as she was walking home, at night, from her job search, Vala was accosted by a Mage: he was an older man, drunk, a master at Reimancy and a novice in Hypnotism. After several days of overgiving from trying to keep up with all the Reimancy work orders, he was starting to lose his mind. Seeing Vala, a commoner, and him, as an Avora, alone in a fairly secluded area, he decided to have some fun. He hypnotized her, she tried to resist, but it was to no avail, and he led her to his room in the Darvina Common Rooms and forced her through the Reimancy initiation: he drove his Res into her unwilling body. Luckly for Vala, she managed to survive, barely, and get away when the mage began to writhe in pain, dying as he had overgiven for the last time. Vala has told no one that she has the ability for Reimancy, she still feels shame from being so easily overpowered.

She also prefers nibbling because it allows her to savor the food better. ~ PaperVala has many OCDs about paper... too many for me to go into right now. I will expand on this later. The main thing is paper must never be bent - dog earing a book is like punching her in the face.

General Information : 1. What is your Name? Vala 2. Do you go by a nickname or pet name? If you’re dying and don’t have the energy for that last vowel, she will respond to Val 3. How old are you? 17 4. What is your height? 5’2” 5. What is your weight? 110lb Aesthetics : 1. Describe yourself as you see yourself. Vala can see herself as nothing other than perfect. She knows she has flaws, but she blames them mostly on her situation and outside forces. She believes herself to be hardworking and her abilities exceptional. She knows she is ‘beautiful,’ and is offended when others do not agree. She hates it when people point out her mistakes to others, preferring to keep her ‘shame’ a secret. In other words - Vala is a self centered prat who can only see herself as perfect. 2. Describe yourself as others typically see you. Most people don’t realize how self centered Vala is... ever. It is one of her best kept secrets. She is very social and friendly to most: if she ever openly insults you in a joking manner it means she doesn’t only respect you, but has opened her true nature to you. Most people only really see one of the many facades or ‘identities’ Vala dons everyday: she is cute and innocent, she is seductive, she is industrious; she is anything you want her to be as long as you love/respect her. 3. What is your favorite body feature? Vala loves her hair. She loves hair more than most people she knows. She brushes it fanatically, keeping it smooth and shiny. Whenever she goes to the dreaming lady she makes sure to wash it only with the best and usually most expensive soaps and oils. She burns a lot of her income that way. 4. How physically fit are you? She is very hyper and agile, but her endurance is crap. She gets winded from running a mile. She can sprint like anything though. 5. How do you typically dress and what is your style? Vala is very conservative in her dress. She hates exposing too much skin; she feels ‘cheap’ when others can see everything. She doesn’t mind skin tight clothing though: she likes to show off her lithe form. Family : 1. Who are your parents and what are they like? Vala was abandoned by her parents as a babe. She was raised in communal nurseries instead. The only ‘memory’ she has of her parents, is the leather notebook written in coded Nari. Judging by the code, Vala assumes that her parents were smart and crafty and hopes to one day find them through discovering what the code means. 2. Do you have any brothers or sisters? Though she has no physical proof other than Inarta tendency to birth in twins and triplets, Vala has a haunting feeling that she has a twin, somewhere. 3. What is your extended family like? N/A 4. Do you consider close friends as important or more/less important than family? Vala has very few if any close friends, befriending only those she respects and can keep her entertained. She finds other people tedious once she gets to know all their nuances. She is only usually entertained by the novelty of new friends. She hates getting in too deep of a relationship because that means she would have to open herself up in turn. She prefers shallow relationships based on favors. She doesn’t mind selling her talents for friendship. 5. Do you treat animals like family? Vala prefers animals, especially animals of prey, to people. She is unable to manipulate them, but she finds their natural honesty appealing and soul refreshing. Location : 1. Where were you born? Most likely Wind Reach, but Vala believes, more like hopes, it was somewhere else. 2. Where do you live now? Wind Reach - Renting a small 20x20 room in the Darvina Common Rooms. 3. If you could live anywhere in Mizahar where would that be? Wind Reach... until she masters Glassblowing, then she’s definitely travelling the world. 4. Do you have a favorite place to vacation or spend leisure time? Vala doesn’t believe in vacations: a waste of productive time. If she has free time she likes to practice her cooking in the kitchens, read or listen to a story in the Enclave, but most of all she loves to work in the Craft Gallery, practicing her craft to perfection. 5. Where do you fear to be? In the lower caste as a drudge: worse than death. Traits : 1. Do you have any physical weaknesses (disease, scars, and missing limbs?) Vala sucks at running. She has a heart shaped burn on the inside of her wrist. Most people find it cute, but she is disgusted with herself every time she sees the memory of a ‘failure’. She also has a faint knife scar on her neck that is barely visible. 2. Are you right handed or left handed? Right handed, but she tries to practice using her left hand. She wants to be ‘ambidextrous’ 3. What languages do you speak? What do you sound like? Do you have an accent? She can speak very fluent Nari, she tries to speak using advanced grammar with bombastic vocabulary: she tends to sound very pretentious. She is practicing her common, hoping to achieve fluency soon. 4. Do you have any odd mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? Vala will have another post just to fully describe all her quirks to their true extent. 5. Do you have (or want to get) any tattoos or piercing? Why do you have them (or will get them) ? Occupations : 1. What is your occupation? Assistant Librarian, Glassblower 2. Do you like/dislike your work? Why? Vala finds working in the Enclave a nice distraction, but overall just a hobby until she becomes a true glassblower. She loves her job as a glassblower because she feels it is her right and destiny to make beauty in the world. 3. If you could be anything you wanted to, what would you be? The best Glassblower in the whole of Mizahar. She also hopes that by becoming a master glassblower it will solve all of her ‘problems’ with herself. 4. What occupation do you admire the most? Why? Glassblower. Because she wants to be one. 5. What occupation do you lest like? Why? Any form of menial task that can be done by a skilless Dek. Childhood : 1. What sort of child were you? An energetic prankster, with an over active mind and imagination. She usually hated other children and preferred the company of higher ranking adults. 2. What is your favorite memory from childhood? Vala hated her childhood. The only thing that she liked was when she learned glassblowing and how to read. 3. What is your worst memory from childhood? She can’t remember, and she tries not to. 4. What sort of relationship did you have with your parents? None. 5. Who was your most influential role model? No one specifically. Education : 1. What sort of education do you have? She learned how to read, write, and do simple math early. At 13 she was apprenticed to a competent glassblower who taught her fairly well. A good portion of her knowledge was self taught though. 2. Do you like/dislike learning? Vala loves to learn about everything. She loves to learn because she knows it makes her ‘better’ than others. She believes she gains power through knowledge. 3. Where or how did you learn most of your skills/abilities? School, books, and apprenticeship. 4. How do you learn best? When in competition with others. 5. What are your educational goals for the future? Vala wants to master Glassblowing, become a competent cook, and learn whatever else she can. Relationships : 1. Do you form close bonds with people? Why? Why not? No. Vala likes to use people for their rank/status and the things they can teach or give her. Those kind of relationships are very shallow, and Vala doesn’t care, that is except on those lonely nights when she’s all alone with no one to ‘call’. 2. Do you trust people easily? If not, why not? Vala’s inability to trust others, is one of the main reasons she cannot get close to them. As an abandoned child, with a pretty face, Vala was regularly ‘used’ by others. So she has difficulty believing it when a person actually has pure motives. 3. Do you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else? Vala doesn’t ‘like’ either gender. She can pretend to be either if she wants to use them. 4. Have you ever been kissed? If so, describe the first time. N/A 5. Have you ever had sex? If so, describe the first time. N/A Drugs and Alcohol : 1. Have you ever been drunk? If so, describe your first time. Vala doesn’t approve of anything that would leave her vulnerable. 2. Do you like to drink on a regular basis? She is disgusted by drunks 3. What sort of alcohol do you prefer? N/A 4. Have you ever tried drugs (mood altering substances)? If so, which kinds and what did you think of them? Same concept as alcohol. 5. What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Be specific. Vala is disgusted by how alcohol can so easily change people, for the worse. She hates how weak someone can become from something so mundane. She hates the power people give alcohol and drugs. Likes and Dislikes : 1. What are your hobbies? Glassblowing, Reading, Cooking, whatever passes the time. 2. Do you like to read? Most definitely. She especially likes to read epic myths, fables, and romances. She also likes to read non-fiction if its interesting and well written. 3. What annoys you more than anything else? Stupid or boring people. If they’re both she hates exponentially. She also hates pointless tasks that waste her time. 4. What do you find the most relaxing activity to do? Achieving something or beating someone at something. 5. What kinds of things embarrass you? Why? Vala is most embarrassed when she fails or loses face. She strongly believes in the importance of reputation. Favorites : 1. What is your favorite color or colors? She likes simplicity - Black, White and generally just anything Grayscale. 2. What is your favorite time of day? Vala is most active at night. She can’t sleep for anymore than eight hours a day. 3. What is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? A crushed opponent’s face. 4. What do you like to eat? What do you hate to eat? Vala loves sweet things. Vala hates anything too crunchy or big.

Does any kind scare you? Vala doesn’t like to go outside much. She likes any type of weather that isn’t difficult to deal with. She doesn’t like being in direct sunlight; she prefers somewhat cloudy days. Outlook : 1. Are you optimistic or pessimistic? Vala is both, in extremes. She always fears failure but over compensates by always telling herself she is better than the others in some way or another. 2. What are your religious views? Devoted follower of Priskil. 3. Would you be able to kill? Yes. She would try to avoid it though, she doesn’t believe in waste. 4. What are your views on sex? She doesn’t like to think about it. 5. What, in your opinion, makes a successful life? Vala believes success is measured by how much one achieves compared to others. So she believes you aren’t completely successful unless you beat everyone else. Actions : 1. What is the worst and best thing you’ve ever done? N/A 2. What is your greatest regret? N/A 3. What is your best/worst memory? N/A 4. If you could change one thing about your past, what would it be and why? Her lack of support as a child. Vala wishes she had, had her parents train her from birth. 5. What are you the most proud of doing in your life? N/A Emotions : 1. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings with others? 2. Do you have any biases or prejudices? 3. What makes you happy? 4. Who or what, if anything, would you die for? 5. What makes you angry? Relationships : 1. In general, how do you treat others? If they are useful: when they are ‘looking’ she treats them politely and respectfully: trying to gain their trust and love. If they are not useful, she will go out of her way to make their lives miserable if she is bored or unhappy with her own life. 2. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? Only Vala matters to Vala. 3. Who is the person you respect the most, and why? N/A 4. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If not, describe an ideal lover. An Ideal Lover would support Vala and help her rise to her true potential. 5. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? Vala again, only trusts herself. Group Situations : 1. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? Vala tries to avoid conflict as much as she can. She hates getting caught or losing; if she was to challenge someone openly, then she could lose. She knows that if she attacks them secretly, she could get even without the consequences. 2. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? Sometimes, if she knows she can control the crowd. She prefers to control the strings from behind the scenes though: all the power none of the blame. 3. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? She prefers to interact with one person at a time. Its easier to manipulate a single person, without getting distracted or noticed by the others. 4. Do you care what others think of you? Absolutely. Vala is very self conscious. 5. What do you think of others, in general? She hates most people. Self Image : 1. What is your greatest strength as a person? Her perseverance. Her need to achieve, fuels and corrupts her. 2. What is your greatest weakness? Her obsessive pride. 3. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Her physical weakness. She hates that people can take advantage of her because she can’t physically fight back. 4. Are you generally introverted or extroverted? She appears to others as a bubbly extrovert, but she is actually very introverted. 5. Are you generally organized or messy? A little of both. She is very organized, but she gets sidetracked easily, leaving messes. Beliefs : 1. What God or Goddess do you find most appealing, if any? Priskil. 2. Which God or Goddess do you fear, if any? Vala tells herself she feels no one. 3. Do you have any Gnosis Marks? If so, how did you receive them? Not yet ;p 4. What lengths would you go to to please your deity? Harming herself or putting herself in danger, but not to the death. 5. Where do you draw the line at pleasing your deity? What is too much? Vala will do anything for Priskil except give her life, because she believes that is pointless since she can’t help Priskil anymore if she’s dead. Life & Death : 1. What do you absolutely live for? Vala lives for ‘immortality’. She wants to be remembered when she’s dead. 2. What is the best part of life? Achieving. 3. What is the best part of death? The pain stops. 4.
