[/b]Character Name:
Appearance: [/b]
Get this girl alone, dolled-up, and intimate and your heart will stop.
Curvy might be the word that springs to mind -- but the kind of curves that make one sweat; large breasts, tiny waist, thick thighs and long legs that arch out elegantly as she sits -- swinging idly as she discusses one thing or the other. Friendly in the face in a way that only becomes attractive when her other features are made apparent -- large lips and sparkling blue eyes that create an interesting contrast to her brown skin and dark hair.
Tall, with a back that she arches subconsciously. Her posture is simply immaculate, every action so well-thought-out to the point that it looks effortless. Pretty, elegant hands with neatly trimmed nails that are never without some sort of polish.
Skin that's soft and clear -- with just a hint of vanilla.
This girl is simply hot as hell -- but you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who is actually aware of this fact.
If nothing else, Aranea is a girl who is conservative about her dress. Long-sleeved dresses hemmed just so -- with long socks that distract from her actual leg; high necklines that yearn to conceal any suggestion of "secondary sexual characteristics." Almost always will she choose the ones that flatter her the least -- with cinched rib cages, billowing out the rest of the outfit to give the impression that there is nothing else there. Cute, but borderline unflattering, thick-rimmed white glasses shield her eyes, and her increasingly odd selection in make-up does not help much either.
It is rare for her to not wear a dress -- but when presses, she wears vests, pretty blouses (all buttoned up), skirts and formal pants. She tries to keep her appearance as humble as possible, and calculates the amount of skin that she shows so that it is unremarkable at best.
Never without her red mary janes. They could be considered her pride and joy, in some way.
Tries to keep up a friendly face (though she is liable to transgressions, like most) -- and employs large, open hand-gestures when she can. There is no point in looking rude, after all. [/ul]
Age:[/b]
Magica Element:
One of the more troubling issues with her element is that she has gained incredibly increased hearing -- inside and out of battle. She has long-since learned how to control this power so that she can still function on a day-to-day basis, but she can't help but overhear the most private of conversations -- whispered rumors passed in her vicinity; the pattering of a lovestruck heart; the grinding of irritated teeth.
She attempts to disclose her extraordinary hearing as soon as she can with people so that they know better than to add the gasoline to the flames of gossip while she is about -- though it is difficult to articulate how she can hear all these things. When pressed, she still doesn't go into too much detail.
It wouldn't be wise to be outed as a magical girl. [/ul]
Personality:[/b]
This is not done maliciously, and anyone could tell you that much – but it is certainly boring to most people, and not want to deal with someone who is, while nice, mundane to the core.
If nothing else, Aranea is pointedly self-aware, and knows quite intimately her own faults and why others don’t really stick around with her. While she does tend to try and alert new people to her issues and stress how she understands why or why not they might want to hang around her, she does not do anything to actively correct her behavior. In her mind, it is what she is comfortable with, and what she actually is. There is no point in trying to completely turn yourself around when you are doing nothing objectively wrong, after all.
Which is, quite honestly, a problem – Aranea is incredibly extroverted, and frankly gets a lot out of connecting with people, talking with people, being intimate with people, having relationships with people – she craves all kinds of interaction, and becomes increasingly desperate to get it as the days drag by. When faced with isolation, she puts up a brave face and smiles – tries to find other ways by which she can spend her time – but there is always this longing, this unspoken yearning for someone else.
There is no doubt that she is horrifyingly lonely.
Is friendly to everyone she meets on the off-chance that they might want to be her friend. This hardly, if ever, truly works.
Much more assertive than one might actually assume at first – and does not take challenges lying down. If someone is attempting to do something that she deems ad wrong, she will stop at nothing to end it. A little controlling once you get to know her – and, in some cases, downright manipulative (though it is never meant maliciously).
Has been known to change small patterns in speech, minimal actions, or other such to keep friends listening to her and deferent to her whims (which she deems as superior).
A healer and protector by nature. Stops at nothing to assure that those in her team are well-taken care of and within the loop of information.
Impressively intelligent, with a mind for tactics and the proper execution of plans. Knows how to gauge the feelings of others quite easily – and is incredibly empathetic to other’s plights. She is exceptionally gifted at turning people’s own feelings into something that she can utilize, and always seems to know the right station for others in groups.
Loves to read and write, and is especially partial to stories (both the telling and the hearing of them). Is not a talented storyteller, however, and has the tendency to ramble about the trivial details that, in the scheme of things, hold no true bearing to the plot or characters.
Has been known to use her written stories to vent her considerable sexual frustrations. It would not be wise to seek out her journals.
