THALIA
PB: Emilia Clarke
Name: Thalia
Pronunciation: Tall-E-uh
Age: 17 turns
Season Born In: Spring
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance:
Thalia's slight of build, willowy even with little to no curves that often make her look younger than she is. To top this fragile appearance off the girl has pale, porcelain toned skin with white blonde hair that falls in loose waves to the middle of her back. Often it can be found free around her shoulders with a few braids keeping the front parts away from her face. It is seldom that she will pull the entire mane back into one long braid, and even fewer are the cases where she puts it into a semblance of a bun. In complete opposition to these light traits, Thalia's eyes are a dark, almost black hue upon first glance. However, when someone gets closer, especially in certain lighting it is found that they are actually a stormy gray.
In terms of clothing, Thalia prefers clothes that flow freely with her body which means simple tunics, skirts and if she can manage a peasant's dress. Nothing ever is too fashionable or too eye catching usually though, it is simply meant for her own comfort. Similarly, Thalia hardly wears shoes unless she is made to for one reason or another. The girl would much rather run around the Hold barefoot than deal with the confines of "wince-worthy apparel" as she would put it. The only exception to any of these preferences, and she will silently suffer and complain the entire time she is made to, is when the girl has to wear clothing appropriate for riding and chores. After all, it is quite a deal easier to work in pants and a simple blouse than a dress, though as Thalia is happy to prove, it is possible.
The girl has a habit of drawing into herself though whenever she isn't quite sure of herself, which unfortunately being often means it is a common occurrence. In these times she will cross her arms in front of her as if she could create a barrier, and Thalia can easily be found pressing her hands together as if she could center herself in that one point despite the chaotic situation she finds herself in. Whenever she happens to be relaxed though, the girl can be found moving as freely as the clothes she prefers to wear. It is not uncommon for her skip, twirl, hum, whistle, sing, or even just dance while moving from one place to another.
Personality:
Serenity; it's the one word that rules Thalia personality more than any other, and it is the one trait that is hardest to break. She would pride herself on being calm in any situation if she were to ever allow herself to consider such an action as anything but vain. Besides, even though in a good number of cases it is often true, Thalia knows that she isn't always calm as much as she wishes she could be. The girl does have an easy tendency to let things slide over her though, even if that is in appearance alone. Her one goal is to at least make others think nothing bothers her. She doesn't ever want to seem weak, but at the same time she hates the idea of being an open book for others to read and thus take advantage of.
The girl is incredibly open and gentle-hearted though with people, even newly met ones and she can be very naive when it comes to trust. If there would be a case of someone getting hurt because they too easily gave their heart away, Thalia would be the victim. Despite this however, and despite what some may always think about her, Thalia is a strong willed individual who sets responsibilities, morals and goals for herself and sticks to them. This is not to say that the girl is not open to the opinions of others, but she also has a hard time allowing anyone to compromise her judgement and morals.
Likewise, Thalia often fears the possibility, no matter how slim, of hurting another. It does not matter if they are someone new, someone she has known for her entire life, or even one who deserves to be punished in one way or another. Thalia despises the idea of ever hurting anyone, especially when it is done intentionally. Too many times the girl has been on the receiving end of that hatred to ever wish it on another. However, if someone she loves is threatened Thalia has found that she must struggle with this in order to rise to the occasion of defending the person or people in danger.
In this, and many things, Thalia is determined. No matter if it is to right a wrong, fix something needing to be mended, or work diligently at an assignment or position she has been given, Thalia ensures that every bit of her task is finished before continuing with anything else. The girl creates strategies more often than gives orders; thinking everything through until she has exhausted every option and possibility she can come up with. Because of this, Thalia may be slower to respond to a situation than some may like, but the girl will quickly retort that the more she takes the time to consider the right course of action, the quicker the answer will come next time and in a much better means than a to-go response could give.
For all her skills that would help her to make friends and be around others; the honest heart, open personality, caring disposition and loyalty, Thalia is a loner. Often the girl will find herself looking in on a group, wishing for all she is worth that she could be a part of it, but unable to understand how to communicate with them properly. Friends are something that are few and far in between, especially since in her childhood Firiel so easily scared Thalia away from people the moment she though she had found a new kindred soul. This has led Thaia to often finding her best friends in the creatures she meets like dragons and firelizards. Somehow though Thalia has managed to roll with what she had been given in life, working through the harder times and enjoying the better. For this reason the girl takes joy in whatever bliss she can find; whether that be a beautiful sunrise, or the smell of freshly made bread.
