CHARACTER CREATED BY: Dianthe
NAME: Aella
AGE: 18
GENDER: Female
PROFESSION: Maid in castle.
COUNTRY/EMPIRE: Greece.
RESIDING KINGDOM: Divine Kingdom
SPOUSE OR BETROTHED: None.
PARENTS:
--> Adrastos ; age 39 ; trains horses in Divine Stables
--> Cybele ; age 36 ; maid in castle
SIBLINGS:
--> Desma ; age 16 ; maid in castle
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Aella is a wiry, slender woman, with skin that is pale and freckless from working in the castle. Her hands, feet, and knees are worn and calloused from years of scrubbing floors and stoking fires. Despite being rather petite, Aella is strong and fit from all her hard work. Her hair is deep golden blonde, and falls in long curls to the middle of her back. Aella usually keeps her locks up in some sort of bun or tie in order to keep it out of her way. Her eyes are a shocking sapphire blue, with lighter blue tints. Because of her status and profession, Aella dresses humbly and wears simple gowns.
PERSONALITY: Aella is a stong, independent woman, although the higher ranking people of the castle would never know it. Around them, she's is shy and modest, careful to keep opinions and big conversations to herself. She detests being thought less of and being talked down to, which is why she is so often biting her tongue around the higher ranks. But around the other maids and those closer to her rank, she is intelligent, free, and has a great sense of humor. She smiles often and, although her time outside is limited, greatly enjoys nature.
HISTORY: Aella was born into a happy family to two wonderful, caring parents. But it just so happened that they were commoners, working on the grounds of the Divine Kingdom.
Aella quickly realized that being the daughter of a stable-man and a maid offered few rewards. And although she sometimes still looked at the nobles with envy, she learned to accept her life, even making the best of it. Soon the envy was replaced with disgust as her understanding of the nobles increased. She saw the truth in their arrogance and snobbery, and no longer wished to be anything like them. She hated having to serve them, but knew there was little choice.
When she was old enough, Aella began to work with her mother as a made. Only two years later, her sister also became a made. Unlike Aella, Cybele and Desma had respect for the nobles, and continued to believe that some people were actually worth less than others. Whenever Aella was reminded of this, she was overcome with frustration, feeling isolated from all those who sided with her family.
Aella's father, Adrastos, was a diligent worker and a good father. Although he tended to lean in the same direction of his wife and younger daughter, Aella still felt the value of his teachings. Because of her father, Aella learned the satisfaction of working hard and completing things with your own hands. Despite her rank, she continued to believe that it was she, and not the nobles, that had the better life.
