[Carina]

Name: Carina Age: Twenty-Six Birthday: The 15th of Winter, year 485 AV Birthplace: Sylira Race: Mixed blood, Human and Eypharian. Weight: 145 lb Height: 5'5'' Hair Color: Blond Eye Color: Green Affiliation: The Crimson Edge. Title: Diplomat Although Carina stands at an average height of 5''5, she is far from the average woman. In physical appearance or personality. Her long slender legs have a pleasant curve to them, accentuated by the style of shoes she generally enjoys wearing. Her graceful arms lead up to delicate shoulders and her elongated neck. Her twisting honey colored hair falls in tresses and ringlets over her shoulders and down her back. It also frames her forest green eyes, which are littered with small hazel speckles. When light hits their green depths its captured and held there, causing her irises to seemingly glow with luminescent light. Their allure comes from the sultry look which pulls unsuspecting victims in. To any onlooker, she carries a sense of mystery, fierceness, and charm about her. Carina has the ability to adapt to most situations with grace and poise. Believing that being adaptable gives a person the highest chance of survival in the world of Mizahar. A necessary part of being adaptable, is being resourceful and using whats at your disposal to assure your survival. This concept has formed the way Carina processes thoughts. Wherever she is, you can be sure that she has some selfish ambition just behind her friendly smile. A large portion of Carina's smiles are accompanied by playful jokes and gestures, most of which are directed at the opposite sex; finding men to be the easiest to manipulate. At times other women take a disliking to her, another unfortunate by product of her personality, yet she keeps her head cool with elegance and pride. She doesn't let their opinion of her, thwart her passions or desires. If one is able to look past her faults and her want for self satisfaction, they may find a friend willing to be true till the end. Special thanks to Kiara Killraven for all his help with refining and fine tuning this section. <3 AdaptabilityIt is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. Being the bestWhen you reach the top, keep climbing. CharmWhich means the power to effect work without employing brute force - is indispensable to women. Charm is a woman's strength just as strength is a man's charm. ComposureThe beauty of the soul shines out when a woman bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because she does not feel them, but because she is a woman of high and heroic temper. ConfidenceNo matter what a woman looks like, if she's confident, she's sexy. CoolnessThe works must be conceived with fire in the soul but executed with clinical coolness DaringBe daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. DesireDesire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything. EleganceElegance is something more than ease - more freedom from awkwardness and restraint. It implies a precision, a polish and a sparkling which is spirited, yet delicate. FiercenessWomen are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags. MysteriousnessA man gives many question marks, however, a woman is a whole mystery. PassionIt lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead. PlayfulnessIt is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes. PoiseThe ability to be ill at ease, inconspicuously. PridePride is a personal commitment. It is an attitude which separates excellence from mediocrity. RefinementThe greatest grossness sometimes accompanies the greatest refinement, as a natural relief. ResourcefulnessEvery woman should have four pets in her life. A mink in her closet, a stallion in her stable, a tiger in her bed, and a jackass who pays for everything. Selfish ambitionCaution is the confidential agent of selfishness. Self-disciplineEveryone must choose one of two pains: The pain of discipline or the pain of regret. VanityBeauty's sister is vanity, and its daughter lust. WatchfulnessWatchfulness is the only guard against cunning. Be intent on his intentions. Many succeed in making others do their own affairs, and unless you possess the key to their motives you may at any moment be forced to take their chestnuts out of the fire to the damage of your own fingers. Name Relation Notes Raina Mother Carina hates her Ethaefal mother for possessing a beauty that she could never hope to obtain. Sudi Father Carina cares little for her Eypharian father, but doesn't realize that her love for beauty comes from her fathers culture. Carina was born in Sylira to a human Ethaefal mother named Raina, and Eypharian father named Sudi. Raina was a woman that, some may say, should never have been given a child. She wasn't a good mother; half the time she was never around to act as the mother figure in Carina's life. And when she was there, she had a tendency to go through bouts of forgetfulness or neglect. Claiming that she never had a daughter despite the words of those around her. The insensitivity shown toward Carina would be what gives shape to the hatred she would one day feel for her mother. Sudi was a better father then Raina was a mother, taking care of Carina while she was a little girl. During the day, when Raina would return to her Ethaefal form, she would stare up at the sky in mourning and curiosity of what her past life had been like. This left Sudi to care for their young daughter, for the most part, on his own. It was cause for the loneliness Sudi began to feel; not having his lover, nor his own kind, to speak with. So one evenings when Raina returned to her earthbound form, Sudi requested that they return to the city of his people, Ahnatep, where he knew he could rely on others to help him give Carina the upbringing he thought she deserved. After their arrival in Ahnatep, Carina was introduced to Sudi's parents and sisters. She quickly became attached to Sudi's eldest sister, spending much of her free time fallowing her around the family home. This is when her love for beauty started developing, the cultural influence of her fathers people. And his family returned that love to her as well, accepting her as their child sister. One of Carina's physical features that her fathers Eypharian family came to admire most, was her honey colored hair. Some days they would spend hours giving her new hair styles and applying makeup, just to see how it would look on her. When Carina entered her teen years, she started to notice the harbored hatred she felt when she saw her birth mother. Not because of her abandonment, but because of the flawless beauty she possessed when in her Ethaefal form. She herself was considered beautiful by human standards... but she wanted to be more then that. She wanted to posses the beauty of the celestial beings.
