Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Vie is 5'6" and has a rather thin frame. What's on her is muscle, and even then it ain't much.
2. How old is she? 23
3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch? Vie stands tall and proud, even when wounded.
4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities? She's incredibly fit and agile, partially from her species and partially from her line of work. Vie is pretty thin, but that's just her build.
5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid? Vie moves silent and smooth and graceful and fluid and whoooosh~ She's fast and agile and could walk on snow without leaving a footprint.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror? Vie is pretty damn good looking. However, she often dresses in male attire (who would wear a dress or skirt when breaking into a castle, seriously) and has been mistaken for a skinny (if pretty) young man a few times. She doesn't see herself as anything special.
7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred? Vie has a light tan, clear skin and the odd scar here and there.
8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style. Her hair is dark brown and falls somewhere between shoulders and mid back. It's got a bit of a wave to it.
9. What color are her eyes? Her eyes are hazel, flecked with yellow.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features? Nope. :3
11. What are her chief tension centers? The base of her neck/top of her spine.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit? Vie wears thigh high boots more often than not, brown leather and carefully crafted to protect but not weigh her down. With that comes shorts or pants that generally tuck into the boots and either a dark tunic with belts for her knives or a simple, strapless wrap around her chest. The area she's been living in for the past however long is mostly desert, so she's comfortable wearing not much at all.
13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them? Yes and Yes. :3
14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences? There isn't much change at all. Vie ditches the boots when she's relaxing, but the rest stays the same. Barefoot makes climbing easier.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando? COMMANDO! 8D ...sometimes. PANTIES.
Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse? Her voice is soft and feminine but with a slightly raw edge when she speaks her native tongue.
2. How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate? Kirovian is a very fast language. Every sound is pronounced and she speaks it with ease. It's a little rough, but flows well. English is a little slower, but she still holds to carefully pronouncing the word and not skipping any detail.
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics? Her accent is like a mash up of German, British, Russian and French. Chelle is pronounced 'shyel-eh'. Fa'rein pronounced 'fee-al rayn' with a brief pause between fee-al and rayn.
4. What language/s does she speak, and with how much fluency? Kirovian is her native tongue and she speaks that perfectly. Shenta, or English, she learned the basics of in her youth. Her master, Shad was a freak for words and reading and discussion, so taught her the rest. Since she's a bit of a geek, she studied hard and picked the language up easily.
5. Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations? When frustrated or deep in thought, Vie switches back to Kirovian.
6. Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words? She's pretty damn good with words. Certain events catch her off guard (being hit on) but she recovers well enough.
7. Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change? Vie is very, very, very eloquent. As in question 6, she can sometimes be caught off guard and lose her words, but recovers quickly.
Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is she book-smart or street-smart? A bit of both, really. Vie lived on the streets as a petty thief for more than a few years and fled her original home into untamed wilderness. Otherwise she's a book nerd, reading and learning and questioning everything she comes across. She's too curious for her own good.
2. Does she think on her feet, or does she need time to deliberate? She's a quick thinker.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is she more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical? Vie works on a basis of logic, but will turn on that to trust a gut feeling. She likes simplicity, but is open to ideas and is something of a dreamer.

6. Is she an introvert or an extrovert? She's an introverted extrovert.
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is she even-tempered or does she have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven? Vie is cheerful and happy more often than not, but has an incredibly protective nature. Piss her off and face her wrath. Happy as she is, recent events have awakened a hint of melancholy, but she keeps it under control. Vie is very proud and stubborn and does what she can to hide her weakness.
8. How does she respond to new people or situations? Is she suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic? Vie is cautious and curious and... enthusiastic but careful with hew situations.

6. Does she have other close friends? Before the failboat? Shad, Tarquin, Korros and Mendev were her adoptive family and most trusted allies.
On the boat, she's not really close with anyone just yet. Godric and Sanya definitely rank high on her awesome peoples list, as does Xanth and with some work on getting along, Eric.

Daily Life

2. What is her social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected her? Slave that is now free! And.. not at home. If at home she would be considered rogue and hunted by were-tigers {Gashin) who would happily tear her apart once they caught her. 8D
3. Where does she live? House, apartment, trailer? Is her home her castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does she share it with others? Small tower in Shad's castle was her place to crash. She had a room all to herself and it was lovely. But, since that's all over she.. really doesn't have a home. Her room on the Elegante is an organized mess of trinkets and treasures and strange but random items. Think of Ariel in The Little Mermaid.
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does she spend her money on? BOOOOOOOOZE. 8D
5. What does she do for a living? Is she good at it? Does she enjoy it, or would she rather be doing something else? Elite thief for an outcast Clansman with a taste for raiding temples. Yeah, she's good at it. Yeah, she loves it. Adventure is fun :3

When she does eat however, she eats well and quite a bit. Hell, she's got to get that energy from somewhere. She drinks, but isn't used to the alcohol on offer onthe boat. Vie will work on that, now that she's aware of her tolerance.
