Pearls of Paradise: Ruwyn

My app for this very cool HM group. I'm a huge HM addict, never played RF before though. Either way I've always wanted to make my own character. So, even if I don't get in, I've at least fulfilled one of my dreams.

Also, I absolutely adore the marriage items. >u< I think that's terribly clever.

If you want to rp with me just let me know. I'll rp however you like but I prefer the chats. I like group rps more. If you're looking for something else, I have a Skype or you can note or comment. I'm up for anything^^

Chocolate-chip Chai tea biscotti with some mint hot cocoa. A tasty treat that to her means family. If it's too hot for the cocoa, milk is a great substitute.

Personality:
A pleasant but strange young woman. She enjoys warm sunny days as much as she likes rainy ones. Sunrise is her favorite time of day Happy and energetic she spends her days wandering around where her feet take her, playing her lute and singing. She has no real dreams or aspirations beyond playing music for people and simply lives in the moment. She loves seeing people dance or sing along with her tunes. She plays music relative to her mood, which is usually a content, but lonely happiness. But if asked, she’ll play something akin to what is proposed. Open and friendly she’ll speak to anyone who seems friendly enough. When speaking to a guy alone she can be surprisingly shy until she’s gotten used to them. Her way of breaking the ice with people is to tell jokes. But they usually suck, her sense of humor is a bit… off. If you laugh at one anyway, she’ll be pleased, knowing you made an effort to do so.

If you befriend her she'll seek you out to speak with or just to be nearby. And maybe if she really likes you she'll make a song about things you like. She's a bit shy when it comes to dating or anything remotely like it. And around someone she has a crush on she tends to talk rather excitedly and flail her hands about with a nervous energy to try and hide her embarrassment. In fact, she'll do just about anything she can to avoid that person, often giving off the vibe that she doesn't like them, when it's actually the opposite. But to make up for it she'll stalk them from a far. She just doesn't know how to handle herself in those kinds of situations. On the other hand, if she doesn't like you, you'll know because any music she might be playing will turn rather horrid sounding, or she'll be very short with you while speaking.

History:
Ruwyn is from a simple family home that had a small farm. She was raised with her older and younger brother. She learned early on that she was different from most of the people she seen. But that was fine, even compared to her siblings, her way of thinking and doing things was weird. She embraced her individuality along with her innate skill with music and song. For her tenth birthday her father gave her an old family heirloom, a lute. It was aged, distressed, needed tuned and in disrepair. She spent the next few weeks in the corner of a small library reading everything she could about the old strong instrument. With a lot of patience and determination she finally finished repairing it.

She spent all of her free time after that honing her skills with it and even making her own songs. About the sky, the water, the land and the air. Anything nature related she would cast into song. One day her younger brother told her she could make a living playing music. She was so enamored with the idea that upon seeing the letter from the mayor of Lucine Island she decided that moment to go there. Maybe her music could help the people there, or at least give them something to ease their worries. She bid her family farewell and grabbing only her instrument, a shawl that used to be her baby blanket and some supplies she headed off for what she hoped would be a fantastic future.




Additional Info:
- Observant and curious. If something catches her eye, she’ll poke and prod until it’s understood.
- Don’t touch her lute, ever. She guards it like she does her soul.
- She doesn’t mind humans so long as they’re not cruel to her, but is very aware that her sense of reasoning doesn’t go both ways.
- Loves the library, now if only they’d let her play her lute inside.
- She can sleep anywhere, On your lawn, on the road, even standing.
- Has an odd and badly developed sense of humor
- Also.... her instrument is actually a Vulcan Lute from Star Trek. At the very top is the Trek Logo. Also, her cloak's broach was inspired by the elven ones of Lothlorien. Ohmygsoh, so much nerd in one image, I do apologize.

Rp Sample:

Ruwyn stood in the center of crowd of onlookers her eyes closed. An oddly shaped instrument in her hands was the source of the music that was luring people from their daily lives to listen. Her fingers artfully danced along the strings. A simple yet enticing melody of the cool, beauty that was winter. Paying homage to the season of living slumber, there was a slight discord to her song. She swayed softly back and forth, loving that her music was being accepted so readily. The song hit an upbeat portion towards the end as winter gives way to spring in a dramatic fashion. She played her last notes and let the last reverberate through the air and let the sound softly die. As always she stayed still a moment longer before opening her eyes to greet the eager faces of her audience. There was nothing more wonderful then seeing their faces, moved by what she did.
