p e r s o n a l i t y ⇢ broken bones and promises

[ t ] here is something amiss behind the seemingly sweet and innocent smile of one Persephone Wesley. Her mind, a deranged dreamscape of despair, has never worked the same as another person's. She feels the same things, yes, but the logical responses may not seem all too logical in her mind. In fact, her reactions may just be what has ever tipped anyone off to her difference. Grief, a time of mourning--she craves it and feeds off of it. It's much like she feeds off the negativity of other, and releases it back. Most of the twisted things she can come up with have had a consequence on those around her. But, one thing that you can count on aside from her deranged nature is her word. She doesn't break promises; those are sacred in her eyes, and she worships those who can keep them.

Persephone has exhibited a god complex, and not too lightly. Her quiet demeanor is what she perceives to be her godly observance. She longs to be worshiped, to be deemed holy in the sight of others. In this respect, she feels that she is quite powerful. Her arrogance is played off as determination by those around her, as a simple stroke of optimism for a simple girl. But, they're very clearly wrong. She thinks that she has everyone in the palm of her hand. She may be right as her facade of simplicity and naivety has been known to drawn people to her like moths to their final flame. But, she has just the smallest underlying fear of being left behind in her desires, of being forgotten.

There is nothing left when one strips her down to the core. She's an empty little girl looking to fill herself. She wishes to be "better", but her better is something different from what you or I have in mind. And, in that sense, she finds herself drawn to what is seen as perverse, and it's dismissed as curiosity gone awry. Curiosity, my dears, is not what she suffers from; it's a deep inclination of morbidity, of violence and gore and the nefarious creepings in the dark. That is what she suffers from, on the deepest level, in every cell in her body.

[ m ] ichal Wesley was a sane man. Or so everyone thought. He was truly dedicated to his work as a doctor, a blessing to his field. He wanted to change the world with his every medical discovery, and thus placed high expectations on himself. This included his love for Avengaline Lyos, a woman he'd been doing a case study on. She was, in a word, delirious. Dehydrated, ravenous, and yet logically stable. She was a perfect shell to pass as sane, but corrupted and decaying on the inside. She persuaded the beguiled Michal to marry her, despite what might happen to him caste wise. He complied all too eagerly, and realized his mistake far too late--Ave informed him that he was the father of her child, a single cell multiplying in her womb. He broke down at the prospect of making new life, and found himself stuck with a creature no more woman than he was free.

Effectively, Persephone's father was awestruck and filled with a seething hatred at the sight of her. She never knew why, but his lip would curl when he called her name, his eyes narrowing as he caught sight of her bob. Her mother fell ill, and her father assisted her pain. She watched as he pumped her full of drugs, then took her off them suddenly and without explanation. It was a depraved cycle they repeated, vicious and so beautifully passionate. Persephone, however, was fascinated by it.

She didn't shy away from her mother's hoarse screams; she found it to be music. She sang to the tune of suffering and danced to the melody of torture. Her father, though, became away of his actions, as if awoken from a long-standing nightmare. He let Ave slip away peacefully in her sleep, only for her to come back after a moment and die choking on drugs and drowning in the fluids that should have relieved her of her pain. Her suffering, already prolonged by six long years, went on for three more hours before her body ceased moving and the room she lay in became a silent void of pained life. Michal sealed the room off, and Persephone never saw the beautiful birds of death on the walls again.

Aside from watching her mother die slowly, Persephone had another brush with the afterlife's fastest transport. She fell from a tree, attempting to reach a ribbon she'd lost to the wind. Her head connected with the hard ground first, taking the rest of her weight. Her skull, tiny and fragile, split open. She should have died, they all said. Part of her, they all thought, did. Of course one would think such a thing, when they could see the pulsing of her brain in a small pond of crimson.

She didn't wake up for two months, and they considered pulling the plug. Her father, even in his grief, held on to the hatred that was brought forth upon the sight of her. And thus, he wanted her to suffer in a special kind of oblivion. She'll always thank him for it, because his choice had given her ample time to wake up as she recovered. The swelling of her brain went down, her skull healed somewhat, and her eyes opened with all the frightening speed of hounds out of hell. They asked her how she felt, and she told them what she saw. And then she looked to her father and she had a message for him.

Her mother said hello, and she'll see him soon.

Her father, hatred renewed and fear kindled, didn't bother to see her for the rest of her recovery. At thirteen years old, she was already quite small. Persephone was thought to have been nine or ten, and she played along. Six months went by before her doctors saw the inconsistency and corrected themselves, and she wasn't treated the same. She thought her little game had been fun, and thought of ways to extend it. But, puberty was not so kind. She grew slightly taller, and while still small, framed as though she were some mythical creature of attraction with delicate curves and sighing vocals.

But, she wanted to continue her games no less, and she got her way. She led a poor man astray, preying on what he wanted most. She watched nurses weep as she revealed the bitter truth of nothingness that would await them. To her, it started as good fun, and became a play of power. She became a god, a being of such absolution that none would be free of her whispered damnation.

The prospect of Selection was brought up by her father some years later. He wanted to pawn off his problem, and he made it very clear to the raven haired girl. Michal had watched too many people fall into depression all for the sake of a game, but couldn't face the monster that had inadvertently sprung from his loins. She was, unfortunately, still of his blood, still of his flesh. Her creation was his fault. He was Frankenstien, and she was his monster. He cursed her daily, to which she'd only watch curiously and ask him to do it again.

While no one could see this from the outside, saw only a stressed out single father and a daughter that had been comatose for two months, Michal suffered in silence. It drove him mad, and thus he signed her away. When it had been finalized that she'd be in the Selection, he took a gun and closed the curtain on the tragedy of a play he'd been cast in. Persephone observed from her front row seat with a muted glee and loud appreciation for his dramatic flair.

Relationship Status: Selected

Caste: 3
Occupation: Student, Biologist
Face Claim: no idea

Appearance:


Height: 5’ 7’’
Weight: 125 lbs
Hair: Strawberry-blonde and falls a bit below her shoulders. Sleek and layered and usually found loose or slightly pinned back out of her eyes. On some occasions, she curls it to add to the layers.
Eyes: Shifts between green and turquoise depending on lighting and surrounding colors. Framed with dark brown eyelashes that nicely set off the sparkles of yellow in the eyes.
Body: Slender with small curves. Somewhat active from lots of hikes in the woods.
Voice: English with a slight trace of something like Southern, but not quite.
Distinguishable Markings: None
Dress Style: Greens and blues, light or dark. She can’t wear purples, reds, pinks, or oranges because of her hair. Below is a dress worn as part of the Selection.


Personality: Claire has somewhat of two different personalities depending on how she is feeling: She can be a social butterfly and loves to talk with people, and she can talk A LOT, but she can also be secluded and closed off, maybe in her room reading a good book. Claire loves learning new things and tends to ramble about loads of different topics, but mostly about science. Since she's studied biology most of her life, that is what she does. Claire won't back out of an argument if it can be won with facts, so that can make her stubborn, but she loves to talk to people and make friends. She has a very curious mind and can go off on random rabbit holes, even if she's supposed to be doing something else. She wants to be able to solve problems, especially if it helps out other people.
Likes: books, exploring, nature,
Dislikes: being trapped inside
Hobbies & Interests: reading and exploring new places. Trying new things.
Strengths: Knows a lot of facts and is book smart.
Weaknesses: Can be stubborn and get into arguments, but also has the need of wanting people to like her. Easily distracted.

History: Claire spent most of her life learning science, because she planned on being a biologist later in life, as one of the professions in the Third Caste, as well as what her parents were. She grew up spending most of her time outside in the beautiful nature of the province of Carolina, and since she had no siblings, made friends with other kids, especially those in other castes. The lower castes fascinated Claire, and she often went out to explore the towns, despite all the warnings her sheltering parents gave her. She was a first-hand witness of the poor conditions of those in the lowest castes, and wanted to do something about it. And she couldn't do that as a meer school professor, so she decided to risk entering in the Selection to hopefully win and gain the authority to make a difference. Also, the crown princes were pretty cute...

Eyes ~ Gnaea has bright blue eyes that allow her to show her happiness.
Body ~ Gnaea is pretty tall for her age. She is slim, but not Barbie doll-thin.
Voice ~ Gnaea has a slight British accent, but not too noticeable. It just makes her seem a little more refined and the last syllables of her words kind of lift up a little.

Distinguishable Markings ~ Gnaea had freckles all over her body.
Dress Style ~ Gnaea wears stretchy fabric a lot. It doesn’t show much, but it looks and feels great on her. Her clothes are specially tailored for her tastes and style, which is usually pants and some sort of like this (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/188...), an off the shoulder with thin straps. Usually light creams, or a navy blue.

Personality ~ Gnaea is very sweet but can also be shy. She is usually easy-going and relaxed, but she tenses up before a crowd. She is a quiet, bookish girl and prefers reading and/or writing in the corner, rather than being the focus of a spotlight. She never breaks a promise because if she does, it’s like breaking the law for her. (Or like someone saying just,” Hi,” to me. I’ll frigging blow up) Gnaea is calm when faced with a problem and clear-headed going into a fight. She is very empathetic and can understand people easily. She can also be mocking whenever she is annoyed. Or she does it for fun, seeing she can be bored.

Dislikes ~ Breaking promises, the color pink, any other “girlie” colors
Hobbies and Interests ~ Writing, reading, archery
Strengths ~ Archery, Writing, being self-conscious
Weaknesses ~ Being bold, being mean, looking intimidating

History ~ Gnaea grew up as an adored child. Always perfect and doted upon. Of course, she grew up quiet and obedient. But being so quiet and a fair amount of the time being called the "Teacher's Pet" she grew sad and distant from a lot of her family. This was the result of a lot of people mocking and bullying her. Her family left her alone one day, in her room, with some food and a couple pages of white clean paper. She ended up writing a story and she realized that was her passion. She came out of the room a changed person. Her family and bullies were awed by her change and the bullies left her alone after that. She continued to build her reputation with her legendary stories. When she got Selected, everyone cheered for her. (Except her bullies, but that kinda makes sense.) Her parents sent her off very excited for her to reach out and make friends who would like her for who she was and they wouldn't care if she was really popular and/or Selected, as many girls did at her home town. She also, in secret, shot arrows at targets and became one of the best in the kingdoms. She is known as the Masked Archer, or Diana/Artemis in disguise. No one knows of her as this. She is very famous, either as the Masked Archer or as her author self. Though many people don't like it, she devotes a lot of her time to children in the lower castes that are in hospitals, and can't see family.
