The Selection discussion

for WIP characters.

These characters are both done, but I'm a) waiting for the okay from Jane so I can move them here from another group and b) trying to find another face claim for Valencia since Ava's already claimed Emma Watson

Voice: She has a medium, mezzo-soprano voice with a faint trace of a Spanish accent.
Distinguishable Markings: Valencia has a scar on her left cheek because she tried to eat a letter opener when she was younger, and a cut on her lower lip that she repeatedly reopens. She also has many scars and calluses on her hand from working with machinery.
Dress Style: She usually wears a tank top and skinny jeans with a pair of work boots. If it's cold out, she'll exchange the tank top for a long-sleeve shirt.

Personality: Valencia is fierce, ambitious, and proud. She couldn't care less what other people think of her, and she never backs down from a challenge. She has no filter, but instead always speaks her mind. Valencia has a lot of goals in life, and she doesn't plan on letting anyone or anything stop her in those goals. Her quick temper and sharp tongue get her into a lot of trouble. She's always restless and hates staying in the same place for more than a week.

History: Valencia's life growing up was rather eventful. She got kicked out of three different schools for getting into fights, and eventually, her parents just decided to homeschool her. When she was fourteen, her father died of an unknown cause. Valencia took over her father's job as a mechanic since he had taught her the basics. She wasn't very good at first, which is how she got most of the scars on her hands, but she got better at it over time. She never thought that she was going to be one of the Selected, but here she is.

History: Radcliffe grew up in a Fifth caste family. He was always athletic, and he would put on shows for people in the neighborhood. He started with cartwheels and somersaults, and as he got older he started doing bigger, more complex, and definitely more stupid moves. Some guy who worked for a circus was passing through, and he saw potential in Radcliff. Radcliff spent three years in the circus, and then he tried out to be an Olympic gymnast when he was 16. He got in and won a few gold and silver medals.

When she was thirteen, her older sister was invited to a dance but didn't have a dress. Charrise, who had been sewing for four years then, made a beautiful dress for her sister. Her family finally realized her talent and encouraged her to get a job at the palace. She signed up, and now here she is.
