Character
[/u][/center]Name: Leilene Isabella of Goldenlake
Gender: Female
Age: 27
City: Corus
Status: Lady-in-Waiting
Personality
Leilene is a very soft voice and for the most part minds her manners. She tends does as she is told and carries out the tasks assigned to her with swiftness but also carefully as not to mess up, though when she does, Amedessa is usually the one coming to the rescue, of sorts.
She likes the company of others and is not by any means anti-social, though around the opposite gender, she does display a distrust of sorts, being rather analytical and thinks most men just want to bed her and move on.
She often is seen in the company of the Queen and thus tends to not flit about marrying, the pair a rather rebellious tag team of sorts, with Amedessa as the leader and Leilene as the follower. She does understand that she has to marry someday but is doing her best to avoid it, fearing being broken by a man if she does marry.
Leilene has a great love for reading and riding horses, just being outside in general really, as she hates being cooped up in the Palace like a misbehaving farm animal. She is rather vain about her appearance however and often scolds Amedessa about how sweets make the pounds pack on.
Personality Flaw:
Leilene’s flaw is her seemingly lacking the “fear gene”. Nothing really seems to frighten her and she tends to be a risk taker and this can lead her into heaps of trouble, which usually Amedessa is bailing her out of. She is not one to turn down something new in the least either and this daredevil attitude can prove very dangerous to her and sometimes to those around her.
Appearance
Leilene is a beauty in her own right. Having Raka in her bloodline, her skin is a lovely tan and her eyes a deep green, much more a hunter green shade, the eye color coming from her father’s side. She is a tall woman, standing at 5’7” and her weight plans seesaw between perfect and slightly overweight, depending on what she might eat, as she loves red meat. Her hair is thick as wool, cascades down to her lower back and is so black it almost appears to have blue highlights in the right light.
Leilene sticks to her gowns strictly, the only exception being when she is riding, as she will wear riding clothes then but that is it. She wears her long hair in a mess of curls, and tries to preen the mass so that it looks right but being her hair is naturally straight, it doesn't always want to behave. She is also self concious about her full figure, feeling like men salivate over her bustline and forget there is a woman attached to it.
Appearance Flaw:
Leilene’s shortcoming in her appearance is her fingers. They are very long and the nails grow much too quickly for her liking, making her hands appear to have claws, something she hates with a passion. She tries her best to hide her unladylike looking hands in gloves when she can and continuously files the nails down, though they always seem to grow back a few days later, much to her dismay.
History
Leilene was the second born child to Philip and Amastacia of Goldenlake and the last the couple would have. Her conception is a bit of a mystery, as her mother did sleep with a few other noblemen around the time she found she was pregnant with her only daughter but because of her trademark eyes, it was assumed she was fathered by Philip, though in all truth, no one is really for certain but leaves well enough alone and she is blissfully unaware of her mother’s adultery.
She grew close to her brother Kain, following him around like a little sister would and he did not seem to mind it, even if she was six years his junior. When her brother left at age fourteen for the University, Leilene slipped into a bit of a depression but she recovered after a few months and slipped back into the chipper girl she always was before hand.
When she came of age, she was sent to the Convent and once there, she met the then Princess Amedessa and the two became hit it off rather well, though she did not sadly see much of her while attending the convent.
Once coming from the convent, Amedessa and Leilene met yet again and she had made such an impression on the royal that she became her lady in waiting and Leilene cheered the female on when she became ruler of Tortall and would often screen suitors and tell Amedessa that none of them seemed right for her, as she felt it was her duty to do so. To this day, she follows the Queen about, playing the part of both a friend and critic of suitors and like Amedessa, refuses to be tied down by a man.
She knows that she someday is going to have to marry, much like her brother Kain did and dotes on his two daughters but she fears she would have to change everything she is if she married and this fear alone keeps her from settling down and she uses Amedessa as her excuse to avoid it, though she knows Amedessa would rather she marry and has attempted to send suitors her way on occations and encouraged her to marry but still to the current day, Leilene dodges the bullet.
