Title: Lady Florence Yaxley [Approved]
Description: Ashton [complete]


Lady Florence Yaxley - April 19, 2008 01:33 AM (GMT)
Name: Lady Florence Yaxley
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Class: Courtier
Physical Description (5 sentence minimum): Florence has an innocent, cute face with small and delicate features. Her cheeks are very pink, and she is often described as an "Adesian rose". She is very petite with some curves, accentuated by corsets and bustles. Her long, auburn hair is her defining feature. It is long and softly curly, and she likes to wear it flowing around her shoulders as she believes it makes her look more attractive.
Native Duchy: Ashton
History (8 sentence minimum): Florence's parents, Lord and Lady Yaxley, brought up their children very badly. Constantly telling them how wonderful they were and giving them a false sense of superiority caused them to all think very well of themselves. Florence, as the oldest, got the greatest smothering of love and consequently thinks the highest of herself. All the Yaxley siblings are highly competitive with each other and are constantly trying to get all the attention on themselves. Thus, they all act as though they like each other, but secretly they are plotting each others' downfall.

Florence used to be her parents' favorite child, but their inability to marry her off has caused her to fall in their eyes. Piers has been engaged, de facto, to a girl substantially higher class than him and he has risen to the status of "favorite child". Florence is under immense pressure to find herself a husband, and quick.
Parents: Lord Henry Yaxley and Lady Anne Yaxley
Siblings: Lord Piers Yaxley (16), Lady Mabel Yaxley (13), Lord Barnaby Yaxley (8)
Personality: Florence has an "artistic temperament" and thinks rather highly of herself. She often spends her days singing, drawing, and staring at herself in the mirror. She considers herself a great artist, despite the fact that she has every privilege handed to her and only an average amount of talent. When she's not busy being artistic, she is thinking about men. She loves to flirt, toss her hair, and entice the opposite sex as much as possible, but she likes them much more than they like her. Her narcissistic nature is not something that attracts a lot of men. However, she still spends a lot of her time focused on attracting various male specimens.
Items: sewing kit, two sets of clothing (wire hair net, one lavender damask dress with matching undergarments, one pale blue satin dress with matching undergarments), nightdress, silver chain, a jewelry box belonging to her great-aunt, a parchment book, ink, quill, hygienic effects, ability to sing very well, ability to draw, maid, and cat.
Roleplay Sample (Two paragraph minimum - Ten sentences): Florence stared at her hair in the mirror. Something was not right. Was it the way she had pinned it? A few loose tendrils hung around her face, as they usually did. Her cheeks were flushed pink and she had rouged her lips to a dark red. She looked lovely, in her opinion. But something about her hair was just not right. Instead of continuing to fiddle with it, she pulled out the pins and let her hair fall loose around her shoulders.

There, that's better, she thought, examining her reflection in the mirror. Her hair looked much better down around her face. She stood up, smoothed her skirts, and gave herself one last discerning look in the mirror. She was ready to go out.
Other: Yay, I'm done. Sorry about the quality of my RP sample, I'm never good at on-the-spot RPing.
