Name: Verelyn
Stage: Prentice
Race: Pure Yaeli
Gender: Female
3 Base Traits:

-Lucky - Verelyn has been lucky for most of her life, the reason why is unknown though her family used to think she would have been chosen by the gods but was never searched out for the sanctum. Her family thought it was odd how lucky she could be but not having been chosen and started becoming weary of her for that reason.
-Ungrateful - Things have just always happened for her, so when someone actually does something for her or gives her something, she doesn't know when she should say thank you or be grateful.
-Determined - Borderlines on tunnel vision, Vere can be so determined to finish a task or achieve a certain thing that she can often lose focus of all other things. The few exceptions seem to be eating and sleeping, two things she values greatly as it allows her to keep going on strongly.
Personality:

Naturally lucky, things always seemed to come easy for this young yaeli. As a youngling, she would always somehow find food right whenever she was hungry, or happen up on water any time she was the slightest bit parched. She also was able to hide from the "bug ladies" when they first came to their home. Vere doesn't think much of it, though. She was just simply in the right place at the right time or some other excuse like that. A mere shrug of her shoulders and then she's on to bigger and better things.

A simple shrug seems to be how she takes care of quite a few things. She's grown to be rather ungrateful to people. Things just have a way of happening in her favor so when it comes to people, she doesn't really notice if someone went out of their way to do something for her, or made a point to do or say something. She'll just be happy she got what she did but not really even think to thank the person for their goods/service. This is a trait that she'll likely grow out of after meeting others who are willing to call her out on it.

Even as she gets older, something that wont change no matter who she's around is her determination for one thing or another. It can borderline on tunnel vision sometimes as she'll want to get her task done as quickly and efficiently as possible. And, if she's on a quest of sorts, she'll have problems resting until the job is complete. This makes her an excellent worker but can be problematic for her health.

While she isn't always the most perceptive when it comes to people, she finds it much easier to bond with animals. Perhaps its because they can't talk back and tell her how entitled she's being. Verelyn enjoys their quiet company when going about her daily life and knowing that at least her "pets" are there for her. With her lack of appreciation, things can get lonely for her as some people don't want to even try to stick around. Especially when they see how things just seem to happen in her favor so that's when the bond with the animals really comes into play. She doesn't find herself feeling very sad over the lack of human friends but as she grows and begins gaining friends she'll realize just how lonely her life had been.

Description: Her coloration is rather pale for her race, one of the lightest it can be as well as her hair. Her hair is normally kept long and free flowing. A few braids are scattered throughout usually tied with a bit of leather with feathers, coins, and other trinkets at the end of them. She has earrings that are fashioned in a similar manner as the trinkets she wear in her hair.

REF Similar coloration please, can be darkened if needed to fit the color scale but would like to keep the same ratio of hair/skin color. (If that makes sense)

Clothing: CC
Accessories: Verelyn has trinkets of feathers, beads, coins and other miscellanious things at the ends of leather tied braids. She also has ear rings in a similar fashion on each ear.

History: There was really only one time, for now, that fear gripped the heart of this young yaeli, and that was when the Extremists stormed their home continent of Yael. They were new, foreign, and very violent. The peaceful ways of the yaeli were not ready for it. Verelyn was not ready for it, and neither was her family. They were luckier than most, in all honesty, whether from the presence of Verelyn or not they would never know. Her village was careful, and any time the Extremists were sighted close to the village, everyone went to hide in some of the cavernous tunnels until it was safe. Sooner than later, it was decided their village as a whole was not safe, and everyone agreed to move, that is, except her family and a few others. Their system had been working so far so why should they leave, the ones who stayed thought. Verelyn was content to stay as she knew the surroundings and had some pets. It would be difficult to move some of them and take them out of area they lived in and loved just as much as she did. So, any time an extremist was spotted, though with the lower population the extremists got a lot closer to the village, everyone would do their best to make it to the tunnels or hide. Vere will eventually get tired of doing so but without the knowledge of how to wield a weapon she really has no choice which she understands. She may whine about it to her parents every now and then but there isn't much they can teach her, being merchants. Nor could they afford to buy lessons or even a weapon for her as the rest of the community had moved on. It would be a sore spot for Verelyn and one that would spark many arguments. Regardless, she still loves her parents even if she doesn't always appreciate the things they do for her.

(Note: a lot of what I had thought to do for her history I decided to try and RP it out instead, so let me know if I need to expand the history more ^.^ )

How does she deal with bad events? Things tend to go her way, but how does she feel when they don't? How does she react when someone she wants to be friends with, doesn't want to reciprocate the feelings? Basically, she's lucky, but she can't control others, so how does she deal with negative situations?

Is she an only child? What are her parents like? How do they make a living now? I definitely feel as though the history needs expanding. It focuses solely on the extremists but doesn't give me an idea about anything else. How do they get supplies to their now empty village? Why don't they just move elsewhere since now it is harder for them to survive, especially since her parents are merchants? How do they even conduct work when their home is basically empty?

Okay, so:

Vere is a very VERY lucky person. Does she ever consider that maybe she should thank the gods for this? They seem to be smiling on her in their favor, and Yael being such a religious place, has anyone ever tried to tell her she needs to watch out, or her ungratefulness to their deities will surely bring her to ruin? Has she thought this herself? How has she avoided this realization, how does she rationalize her luck? What are her feelings on the gods? Is she a stubborn person? No matter how many times people scold her for her ambivalence, she has remained this way. That has to show some level of refusing to consider multiple options and scenarios?

She's a very determined girl, but what does she direct that energy towards? What are her interests? Her goals? Does she help around the house? In her parent's merchant business? How does she spend her time when not chillin with her animals?
