Life isn't about finding yourself And My Name Is It's about creating yourself Appearance Don't look too hard now, you might not be able to look away. Full Name: Molly Barlow Race: Human Gender: Female Height: 5'4 Weight: 120lbs Profession: Beekeeper Housing: Cottage in Zeltiva Likes: Honey, chatting, bugs, flowers, green, learning, stories, cleaning Dislikes: Vegetables, swimming, being alone, boredom, windy days, disorder Merits: Flaws: Fluent: Common Poor: N/A Basic: N/A Age: 20 Birthday: 15 of Spring, 493AV Themes: One, Two, Three Four Molly is average, easily lost in a crowd. She has small features constantly changing with her moods and thoughts, hidden by a wall of long brown hair. Fully a woman, no one could mistake her features for a child--they are to sharp and her bearing too weighted. Molly stands of average height and build, she has grown thinner from lack of sufficient food. Personality Looks are only skin deep, look beyond the flesh. Molly is adventurous but has no desire to travel, her desire steams from the want to learn and experience new things to the fullest extent. While she loves exploring and hearing tales she knows her limits and is not so daring, even coming across as timid. She is highly sensitive taking everything to heart although she tries not to voice it. In her not-so-long-ago youth Molly struggled to keep her head out of the clouds but in recent years has become quite pragmatic. Marrying Leo taught her the value of penny pinching, as well as the rule that food is food and they cannot afford to be picky but Molly holds an intense love for honey and breads. She wants to explore all of its uses and keeps steady notes in her work. Like any Zeltivian she is proud, believing in hard work and scorns laziness and being still unless it is to learn. History Looks are only skin deep, look beyond the flesh. Markus and Lena Barlow had Molly several years into their marriage during a small rain storm in Spring. Their daughter came out loud and never seemed to quiet down after, a little adventurer she often came home in tatters or led by an unhappy WaveGuard or neighbor. When she was of age to be taught her parents took it upon themselves to teach her the basic of reading, writing and mathematics. Molly soaked up the knowledge like a small sponge, always eager and full of questions. It wasn’t long before she was ready to learn her parents trade, beekeeping. For as much as she loved to learn, her parents found it was an exhausting task. She smashed colonies, destroyed gardens, ate the honey constantly and often disappeared during lessons. The child could not still. But her childhood was gone soon and she learned quicker although she still missed many lessons. Molly was prone to wandering off with friends to shop or to try and explore some of the mountains, though she never made it far. She would wander the docks and pester the sailors, and walk by the school and wish she had enough money to attend any class. At sixteen she was a full apprentice for her family and had met Leo. Leo was a bard and a sailor but mostly a flirt. The two danced around each other for a season before they finally went on a date. Nearly two years later they were married. Molly was quick to move out of her parents and join Leo in his home, and although she still apprenticed she had her own colony started. Just as her new page started it has quickly ended, the trails of Zeltiva put great strain upon her family and her marriage. Famine and illness leave Molly at widow at almost twenty and struggling to reground herself in the cities chaos.

The true beauty of it lies in the small garden outside and the small bee colonies that fly around the house during honey seasons. Inside is sparsely furnished and kept obsessively clean, except for whenever Molly is experimenting with honey. The sounds of Leo's gea'tar often sound through the windows and there is a constant bustle of coming and going in the house.
