Alanna of Trebond
Personal Information
Name: Merhen
Contact Information: trackfan1313@hotmail.com
Character Information
Name: Alanna of Trebond
Gender: female
Age/Birthdate: 11, September 14th, 419 H.E.
Position: convent student
Location: Convent of the Mother of the Mountains
Personality: Alanna likes thinks done her way, now. She’ll fight for it and fight for it, as such is her fiery nature, and even use dirty tricks to get it if needed. But she is not unreasonable. If someone shows her that what she is fighting for is bad for her or others and would hurt people around her, she’ll stop. She hates to hurt those that can be spared, and will go out of her way to help animals and humans that she can help.
Alanna often gets mad over nothing, and can find anything offensive in anything you say. She doesn’t take anyone lightly, but often chucks away words carelessly. But if she promises something to you, she will do all that’s in her power to help.
Alanna does not like to sit pretty and watch and wait for others to do them for her. She is a girl of action and will do anything to get out of going to the convent.
Background: Alanna was born to the Lord of Trebond, Alan and his wife, the Lady Catherine(?). She and her basically-identical twin brother, Thom, were inseparable since then. Not in the ‘joined-at-the-hip’ physical sense, but the ‘joined-at-the-hip’ sense that they went wherever the other went. They were never presented at court however, and only a few know that Thom and Alanna even exist. Not that it’s a secret, it’s just not a commonly known fact.
Alanna was always the more witty and stronger one of the two, yet Thom was more powerful with their ‘shared’ magical Gift. Alanna spent all of her time practicing her swordfighting, riding and archery, while Thom practiced sorcery.
Alanna was forbidden to practice any of the fighting arts, and was often forced to ‘sit pretty’ while her brother Thom was also forced to go practice. Thom was much a weakling, and complained often to Alanna. Alanna, just being Alanna, thought of the idea to switch. They looked exactly the same, except their hair was often different lengths. So Thom grew his hair out long in the same fashion as their father did, and said he just ‘admired his father so much he had to have his hair like his fathers’. Alanna kept her hair long as well.
Both of them switched spots often, but Thom still did a few practice sessions of fighting every now and then just in case. Alanna had a lot of fun, while Thom went to the healer to ‘learn’ stitchery and magic.
When it was time for Thom to be sent to the Palace for training, and Alanna to the convent, they put up a fight. Thom was forced to cut his hair, but they still tried to pull the ‘big switch’ on Coram. Unfortunately Coram found them out and sent both of them back to their father. Alanna was then forced to go to the convent.
Physical Appearance:
**Hair : In soft waves to the top of her not-yet chest, the haircut is elegant and refined yet has the look that some would call rugged. It is layered and looks slightly shabby at first, but the hairs themselves are sleek and glossy. The cherry-burgundy coloured hair is fine and thin, yet easily coiffed.
**Eyes : Her eyes seem to have a direct relation with her Gift, seeing as her Gift is bright violet and her eyes as well. They seem to take on a life of their own in passion, whether it be fighting to go to the palace as a page, or fighting with others.
**Face : Small, circular and slightly flat, it has characteristics of both genders, such as her brother’s does as well, that helps them look even more like identical twins. Small button nose, thin eyebrows, short lashes, straight lips and high, angular, noble cheekbones.
**Height : 4’8”
**Weight : 69 lbs.
**Body : Short, stocky and thin, the hard truth is that she can pass as a boy even better than her twin brother can, and has done so many a time before. Her legs, arms and stomach are stretched with small, compact muscles from the swordfighting, archery and riding she practically married herself to when she dreamt (and still does dream) of becoming a knight.
**Style of clothes : Typically, before she was sent to the convent, she wore loose-fitting britches and soft blouses. Sometimes she even wore a tunic if her father wanted her to ‘dress up’. Now that she is at the convent, she must wear pretty dresses, have her hair up in intricate coiffures, make sure her skin isn’t dirty or blemished, has to sit pretty and everything. Alanna feels that she likes the two extremes better. Either extremely dirty, or extremely beautiful. She does not like plain. So as a result of that feeling, she always wears the most original, but most beautiful dresses that she has and that she can buy or make.
Strong Points: swordfighting, tongue-flaying and riding. Manipulating others, keeping promises.
Weaknesses: archery (she was never really a good shot, and has to keep practicing all of the time just to even get a moderate shot), dancing, table mannerisms, etiquette, mathematics, analyzing others (she never really sees what a person is thinking or feeling. She just jumps right in without any concern as to what others think of her).
Magic: A bright violent violet coloured Gift, she and her brother have so much of it, that even with the two of them, it overflows to their eyes. They have the prospect of doing anything with it at all, yet Alanna and Thom still have not had enough training to master everything with it. Alanna hasn’t even had enough training with her Gift, to do some of the simplest spells. She has a strong healing and battle Gift, well, basically an anything Gift. Maude, the village healer, and also one of the twin's adult keepers, told her that she should use her Gift to heal wisely; to heal many.
Pets: Chubby, her toffee-coloured mountain pony.
Sample Post:
Alanna slumped against a tree in Trebond’s small garden, folded her arms and pouted. She couldn’t believe that her father could do this to her. This had been her life-long dream, and now – now he had to go and ruin it all. Alanna grimaced and stomped her foot, grinding her boot into the dirt and plants beneath it. What was wrong with the man? Did he have some mental defect or something?
Suddenly Alanna whirled around and slammed her fist into the tree trunk. What was she going to do? She needed to think of something.
*~*
An hour or so later, Alanna was pacing the garden. It was a small step up from taking her frustrations out on that poor tree. ‘But still…it’s better to put an object in place of another human.’ Alanna thought. Wait! ‘In place of another human’… Thom and she could switch! Alanna smirked superiorly and ran off in search of her dear brother.
