From being an Abandoned who had rarely left the Hollowed Grounds, to embracing the call of adventure, to dying and being reborn first as an Ascended and then as an Ancient, Maea has gone through quite the amount of changes in her life. One thing remains common, though, in her attempts to find out just where she belongs; she’s always had a craving for knowledge which has brought her to so many places and to meet so many people here in Caido. We can’t wait to see what else is in store for her!
Congratulations, Maea!
Credits
Court of the Fallen was created in October of 2018 by Odd, Honey, and Crooked.
Skinning and hosting by the epically talented Kaons, and functionality fanciness by the coding magic of Neowulf. If you ever see either of them around, make sure to show them some love!
Tanned skin, dark hair, golden tattoos, molten golden eyes.
Elegance and grace come natural to the woman, coordination hinting at a dancer's talent lying within the slim and slender frame. She is diminutive in height (but not necessarily in nature), often seen with a warm smile on her lips. The voice that comes from said lips might be heard humming or singing a soft tune, though it is rare that she allows such things to happen before an audience.
Makeup doesn't always grace her features, the natural tones of her skin only occasionally decorated with dark outlines along her eyelids or colourful adornments to her lips.
Almost always practical with her choice of clothing, she does own some formal-wear that is all lace and silk and intricate designs that she wears on her own whim. For the majority of the time however, she wear simple slack pants, and plain if-not brightly coloured tops.
Possibly the most notable feature, that is not often seen by those outside of her family or more intimate partners, are the tattoos that adorn her frame. Shining golden against her dark skin, they etch a curving, twirling, enchanting design of dragons and fire. The design stretches across her back and around her ribcage, the dragon's nose and face appearing over her left hip, with its tail upon her right. There are swirls and lines from dragon's wings and what one can only assume dragon's magic coming down over shoulders as well, visible on the uppermost part of her arms if she wears a top with short enough sleeves.
Personality
A careful individual, Amaris observes the world around her with wariness and intrigue. She is riddled with insecurities, even though she knows she is quite skilled at her chosen craft, she does question herself. Often, she comes across as very shy, very guarded, and otherwise very serious. Few get to unlock the level of platonic (let alone romantic) intimacy required to be privy to her true whimsical self, to the playful and witty comments she can deliver in jest and humour - but perhaps that will change.
Amaris is ambitious in the sense that she always feels that she needs to prove herself - she strives to show her worth to her family and her friends, and undertakes any task given to her with a passion and deadly focus unmatched by most.
Amaris endures through the condition of 'high-functioning anxiety', which is best explained in this youtube video:
History
Of a well-known family line stretching back hundreds of years, separated by the barrier erected around the Hollowed Grounds, Amaris hails from a world intolerant of magic, and has been shaped by the views of those around her to believe in the same prejudices and preconceptions. As a young girl, she bonded the to golden dragon Dramyrth, and when she came of age, received the tattoo that decorates her back of him. Restricted by the regulations of her region, she holds a deep desire to explore the fabled Draig Cordillera - but is yet to formulate a realistic plan for such an enormous feat.
Joining the militia of Stormbreak - the Dragoons - as a teenager, she learned early on that she had talent in a rather specific career path. The art of subtlety and self-defence were her strengths, and when the Order identified this, she immersed herself in them, honing her skills and barely questioning the tasks assigned to her.
Other
COMPANION :: Dramyrth is the King of Amaris' heart. He is a proud being, and vengeful if he finds offence in anything said or done against himself or his bonded. He is fiercely loyal and horrendously over-protective, and demands respect be paid in blood if he ever takes offence to any perceived wrongdoing. Few are able to gain true esteem in his piercing stare; it is only the bond to Amaris that sometimes allows his affectionate side to extend to those outside of their intense, soul-binding relationship.
