Stefana

Presentation

• FALSE though she be to me and love,
  I'll ne'er pursue revenge;
  For still the charmer I approve,
  Though I deplore her change.
  
  In hours of bliss we oft have met:
  They could not always last;
  And though the present I regret,
  I'm grateful for the past.
  
  -William Congreve

  • Full Description: The young doe's face is softly sculpted with a faintly square jawline and high prominent cheekbones, her straight-bridged nose ending just above full, stern lips. A mess of tightly coiled raven locks spills from her head and would reach just past her shoulders if most of it were not typically held into a high, ornate ponytail. Large, diamond-shaped ears protrude proudly from either side of her head, though the long horns that sit atop her skull command much more attention. A long neck leads to graceful shoulders and a slightly smallish bust considering her build, yet wide, generous hips help to dramatize her silhouette. Long and curvaceous legs are often hidden under frilly dress-skirts with dainty feet safely tucked away in fine slippers.

• Social Information

  • Personality: Stefana is a cold person by default, though she isn't outright malicious. In fact, she is usually soft-spoken and reserved unless she feels a strong personal need to engage in not-so-polite conversation. Either way, she will typically remain perfectly eloquent even when annoyed or angered, as she believes she has an image to uphold. She is not, however, completely devoid of a heart. It is possible for her to develop genuine, meaningful relationships with others over time. Regardless, she can still be infuriatingly apathetic.
  • Mental State: Suffers from occasional bouts with melancholia (debilitating depression) compounded by an ongoing cultural/personal identity crisis. During these times she is relatively stable but she will not want to leave her room for days and in extreme cases, weeks.
  • Likes: Cake, poetry, coffee, azalea flowers, painting.
  • Dislikes: High society/noblemen/etc., stupid people (or at least, people who she thinks are stupid), song recitals, carrots, stuffy clothing, her adoptive parents, getting up early.
  • Literacy: Literate in written English, Dutch, and French; learning Spanish.
  • Spoken Languages: Fluent in English and Dutch, sufficient in French and Spanish.
