“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”


Welcome.

This is my official quest thread for my character
Lestari.
Take a look around I`m sure you`ll find something of interest!
And if you`ve got time, stick around for a crit.
Depending on how this goes, I will also be entering in flatesales.
This is just a place for my idea.

"For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.."



General Profile
Name | Lestari Putri
*Javanese people do not use a last name, 'Putri' is Lestari's middle name. For now it will act as her last name.

Origin | Javanese

Meaning | Eternal, abiding ; Daughter, princess

Gender | Female



Loyalty
Allegiance | Lestari's loyalties lie with the emperor.

Path | Not wanting to be a stay at home mother like all the females on her mothers side of the family, Lestari takes pride in following the path of a warrior.

Weapon | Lestari carries a large amount of acupuncture needles; two types to be precise. Acupuncture has allowed the Lunarian to study the vital points of the body, which allow her to lock muscles when she inserts a needle into them. This has enabled Les to create a unique fighting style. The second needles which she carries have a flat surface, and never used for acupuncture, rather they will be for her seal forming magic.

Magic Style | Lestari uses seal forming magic, with her knowledge of important points on the body from acupuncture, she is able to cause quite the pain with her needles. She uses the needles with a flat surface, and has drawn different seals on them for her magic. Example



Appearance
Hair Color | Black

Hair Style | No idea how to describe this, but it's pretty. [1][2][3][4] So maybe something like that? Originally her hair is long and straight.

Eye Color | Gold

Skin Tone | Indigo

Scale colors | Gold and bronze, black too if it goes nicely.

Body Type | Lestari is built slim, with little traces of her physical abilities seen lingering here and there. Standing at an average 5’8”, the Lunarian weighs an incredible 135 lbs. She has a banana body structure, and chiseled facial features.

Distinguishing Features | On the inside of her left wrist she has the word peace tattooed in sanskrit, and on the inside of her right wrist is tattooed fight in sanskrit.

Clothing Style | I am currently going to leave this blank for artist freedom. I'd truthfully be happy with anything the artists comes up with. Though I do request a dress for her initial stage as she wouldn't have any knowledge in fighting, and her mother tries to keep her very feminine. Also, if they could integrate the Javanese style, that would be awesome. Batik [x] Something like that would be the main design.
[x] [x]


Accessories | The only visible accessory that Lestari carries on herself is a wrist band on her left hand, which carries all of her acupuncture needles and keeps them well hidden. If this could be pretty-fied it would be appreciated XD Artist freedom here too, you have the okay for any jewelry.

“You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war.”



Personality

Compassionate | Lestari is very passionate, it isn't so much to ask someone how their day is going or holding a door open for them a few more moments, Lestari is all about the personal reward a smile could give her. She's always there when a friend is in need, need a bit of cash or maybe some medicine for your sick mother? She'll go out of her way to get whatever it is you need, rain or shine. Don't get Lestari started on how she feels about certain things because the conversation could go on for days. Whenever there is a particular cause or thought that is dear to her heart, you can bet that she will shout to the stars how great it is.

Venomous | When her patience is tried or someone is really irritating her to the point where she just can't be civilized anymore, she usually turns to being a very cold hearted woman. She will call people names and make them feel worthless. While she may not be the violent type, she will make sure the person causing her such irritation will suffer. If she doesn't deal with the root of the problem right away, then she holds a grudge and swears she'll make them pay.

Curious | Lestari has been cooped, controlled, and watched her whole life, so there’s a ton of things that she just doesn't know yet...but she's dying to learn it all! If there's something that perks her interest, nothing will stop the flow of questions Lestari will have. She will also go beyond extremes to get answers, she likes to be knowledgeable even if it may get her in trouble sometimes. Her curiosity has no end to it, and she may become stubborn if she isn't satisfied; it takes a lot of information for her to be satisfied and content with whatever thing she's curious about.

Blunt | Lestari is not the one to sugar-coat the news. She isn't the one to tell someone they look great in a dress, when in reality it makes them look like they've gained ten pounds. She certainly isn't the one who is afraid to tell someone their stupid, or to let someone know the circumstances of their situation and how screwed they might end up being. She has no problem cracking jokes, even those in bad taste, in front of anyone. She doesn't care what people think of her, she only cares that they respect her enough to listen to her and do what she says when she needs something done. Nobody who knows her well enough would be surprised if someone they all cared about died a horrible death, and she said something along the lines of "He wasn't much help anyways."

Possessive | Lestari has the capability of being overly protective, and she won’t back down from a fight when it involves her friends, or sharing an item with someone. The Lunarian believes that if she herself is loyal to her peers, then her peers should be loyal to her. Lestari takes backstabbing or turning on your friends as one of the greatest offenses one could ever do, and she will go to great lengths to cause harm to someone who has backstabbed her. Sharing does not exist in this Lunarians world, she will become overly suspicious if someone gives her something for free, and if someone did ask for this thing back. Les isn't giving it back, it is now officially hers.



Hobbies

Dancing | Forced upon her every single day of her childhood, Les could only grow fond of her dancing over the years. It is also the only hobby that pleases and keeps her mother quiet; in Sinta's eyes she needs to be more feminine. Dancing has allowed Lestari to be able to move with gracefulness which has helped her fighting style, it is another quiet activity that she believes she can meditate upon.

Confectionery | Les thinks that to be able to control her sweet tooth, she must indulge it. After years of making confections, the Lunarian has turned it into a hobby she adores. Sure controlling her sweet tooth is one thing, but eating excess amounts of candy is never good, and so she has also taken up the habit of selling her candy or giving it away. Lestari also works at the candy store called Khandi.



Quirks

Quoting | Constantly quotes people and famous people in the middle of conversations. She will use her fingers to make the " " sign when quoting anything. She also likes to quote people when they're annoying her.

Sweet Tooth | Lestari has a sweet tooth which she tries to control, but really can't. Anything sweet usually catches her attention, and she loses any interest in whatever she was previously doing.

Wifehood | Lestari hates doing chores, hates little kids, and hates cooking things that can't be turned into candy or something sugary. She dislikes that her mother is trying to turn her into a puppet wife, even though she knows everything that a wife should do by heart.

Lost causes are the only ones worth fighting for.



The Pramoedya family has always been one of the only families to have done acupuncture for the emperor and the nobles. In fact, Lestari’s father Bambang and her mother Sinta, who is a noble woman, held an arranged marriage. With the promise of giving birth to a daughter to continue Sinta’s own ambitions before her traditions, the two quickly conceived their first child after being married. Sinta was terribly disappointed twice as she gave birth to two rowdy boys that would take their fathers name. It wasn’t until 7 years after the birth of their first child Guntur, that they were gifted with a daughter and then a year later another son which Sinta seemed more accepting of. Sinta vowed to make sure that their daughter would never follow the footpaths of the boys, years later Sinta gleefully showed her daughter off around in the streets and to family members.

When she came of age Lestari took up dance, while at home she watched her father deal with acupuncture patients. It was then that the little girl grew fond of her father’s work, and often would return home to sit by her father and learn his ways. While she disliked dancing, she was rather good at it, finding that the movements were easy. Her other hobby such as confectionery was discovered after returning home when her mother had embarrassed her in front of another noble family. Wanting to make up for the mistake she'd done, she decided to making candy while her family received her grand parents. In a bliss, Sinta was happy to be able to mold her daughter into a housewife whom she wished to arrange a marriage for in a noble family. Lestari was indirectly introduced to fighting because of the second eldest Susilo, just as he was starting his training he took Lestari to one of his lessons. The little girl was hooked, and it was from that day on that after each and every single one of his lessons, Lestari would pester Susilo to teach her defense and evading techniques.

Her mother wasn’t too pleased with the way her daughter starting to change, she often took her daughter away to visit her side of the family to try and teach her the respectable way a woman should act. If only to please her mother, Lestari agreed to visit the family once a month, she tried to pick up their noble ways quickly so her mother would leave her alone. And it worked, when Lestari would return home and act as she should, her mother allowed her to do as she pleased which consisted of practicing both her evading fighting style and acupuncture. Thinking that her daughter could become a priest, Lestari was enrolled at the academy around the age of thirteen. However, behind her mother’s back, Lestari asked her father to register her for the fighter class. She has no desire to join as a priest, and hopes her mother doesn’t find out.

The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.



Sinta Wulan | Sinta tries to rule every single event in Lestari's life with an iron fist because of her noble background, which she hopes to pass onto her daughter.
She is the one who pushed Lestari to turn to dancing, something the Lunarian both hates and loves her for.
Lestari just wished the woman would give her more freedom on her life, she has no desire to follow in her mothers footsteps.


Bambang Pramoedya | The father of the house, Sanouk is happy with whatever path his daughter choses, though he’s secreatly making sure Lestari keeps up with her acupuncture behind his wife’s back.
If it wasn't for him, Lestari would never found her ability with acupuncture. She loves her father to death, and couldn't thank him more about helping her become a warrior.


Guntur Pramoedya | Lestari loves her older brother to death, because they both have followed into their fathers footsteps in acupuncture.
She gets along extremely well with him, more so then her other brothers. Guntar is also married and still living in their home, Lestari gets along quite well with his wife.


Citra Eka | Guntar's wife, and currently pregnant with their first child. Lestari gets along with the woman, she's been trying to make Lestari more optimistic.
Citra is like the older sister she never had.


Susilo Pramoedya | He taught Lestari how to defend herself, and still does even to this day.
Lestari like this brother too, though not as much as Guntar, they often fight for the silliest reasons.


Budi Pramoedya | The last brother and probably the only one Lestari doesn’t like. Budi follows his mother around as if he were her shadow, he is the family snitch.
Budi went to the academy to become a priest, Lestari thinks it’s to keep an eye on her and report to their mother.
The Lunarian couldn't hate him more for being so close to her mother and yet having so much more freedom.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.



Q | Why does Lestari serve the emperor ?
A | Well to begin with, her family has been doing acupuncture for the emperor and the nobles for more generations then you can count on your fingers.
Her father holds great respect for the emperor, and I suppose it's something he passed on to all of his children.
However, I'm sure Sinta would end up not supporting the emperor at all, possible divorce plot twist? Maybe :3
There is also the fact that to Lestari, it would be like indirectly defying her mother who is a noble herself.


Q | What does she offer to the Legion?
A | Well, her acupuncture of course! XD But in all seriousness, she offers her unique fighting abilities. Not only could she be sent into enemy territory and look weaponless, but she's also quite apt in evading attacks.
She could be the type of shadowy character that goes around doing all the behind the scene killing, she able to move silently if she wishes it. Or just an undercover agent doing some top secret mission type thing,
I think just those abilities would make her a great asset. There's also the fact that her mother is a noble with noble connections, and she often brings Lestari to parties and meetings with her.


Q | Why the needles?!
A | Granted she'll probably have no defense or ways of fighting an opponent that is at a distance, I thought that the needles would be something neat since I didn't want her with a typical sword or spear.
Not only can they be kept hidden easily, but who would really think of needles as dangerous? It's the perfect weaponry!


Q | Why a Javanese heritage?
A | How often do you hear about the Javanese? It was extremely hard to find information on them, but to be able to have origins that no one else had was too hard to pass up biggrin

Q | What's Acupuncture?
A | Well, it's a little hard to explain xD But here's the wiki.

Q | Where do you intend to lead your character?
A | I plan on her personality to grow and change over time, right now it's very rounded around her mother and this was done on purpose.
Her mother secluded her a lot, and once she's away from her, she'll be able to grow and continue on as a healthy character.


Q | How does Lestari feel about relationships?
A | Considering she usually only meets boys at family gatherings to find a suitor, with her mother breathing down her back, she thinks love is this whole big setup. She sees how her father doesn't really hang around her mother, and dislikes the idea of love and getting married quite a bit.

Yay! (: I popped your crit cherry! Muhaha!

First off welcome to the shop! ^-^ I have not seen you around anyways and since I pretty much live here you would have to be a ninja for me not to notice you! <333

General Profile - Its all good, reads very well and is easy on the eyes, it tells you what you need to know and leaves a lot of freedom for the artist which is always a good thing.

Personality - Her personality flows very well indeed <333 all her traits complement each other nicely and it tells you a lot about her character, I like the fact its so easy to read *U* it is what you need to know with out no off putting fancy bits. To the point and a damn good job doing so if I say myself.

The only thing I can comment on she seems too neatly packaged XD she is very predictable when you read it through which is not a bad thing however I would like to see some aspect of her personality you would not expect with out it sticking out like a sore thumb at the same time. Its just a personal preference of mine. ~ However what you have is really good.

Hobbies, family and history all look good too ~ :3 they suit her personality and say a lot about her.

All in all I love Lestari's character and I wish you the best of luck getting her! 8D very well written!
PostPosted: Sat Sep 04, 2010 5:56 pm


Yes you did biggrin

Yea, I've been a big ninja haha!!

I wanted it to be easy to read. Extra points to me woo!

I think right now she looks neatly packed because her mother has controlled her into a neatly packed little bundle, her personality will definitely change, but I'll see what I can do biggrin


Thank you!!

Alright, my turn! To start out, I'm not the best at giving crits, so I hope this helps you.

First off, I love how you start each post with a quote about fighting, it gives me a good look at who Les really is.

Mostly, she's very well put together, but I got confused a little early on and expected more sisters by the quote

"Not wanting to be a stay at home mother like all the females of her family, Lestari takes pride in following the path of a warrior."

Then, why is cooking a hobby for her? I got the impression it was something she had to learn from visiting her mother's side of the family. That doesn't come across as a hobby to me.

Otherwise, she sounds like a great Lunarian and I hope you can get her! Good luck!

I hope that helped!
PostPosted: Sat Sep 04, 2010 8:47 pm


She doesn't have any sisters. However that line refers more to her mothers side of the family who push all the females to become housewives.

As for the cooking thing, yes she picked it up from her mothers. For now it's a hobby, but the more her mother will loosen her grip on her, it will probably change :3 She enjoys it, gives her peace and quiet from her mom XD

I'll make things more clear though :3

Thanks for the crit biggrin

Bee approves!

I really like.. her. xD

Her name, her look, her build, her personality, her hobbies. all off it.

Now onto more serious stuff.

There is a slight mistake in her her weapon blurb. I'm sure you'll catch it if you look at it again. A missing word, or odd turn of phrase. I'm not sure which.

I ADORE that her skin tone is yellowish with the black hair with pale flowers in it. If you hadn't figured in scale color yet, perhaps monochromatic, white, gray, and black? Just tossing out an idea.

For whatever reason I picture her as more slim then she is, but that's probably just me. I myself have wide hips, and if I didn't have a larger bust to even it out, I'd look like a pear, and so I would imagine, Lestari?

I really like what you have so far for personality. It's very unique from anything I've seen so far, and i think will make her stand out and allow for great character development and growth as well as pissing off the legion, which will be handy when trying to meet the fighter battle requirements. I look forward to seeing how she interacts with others.

On the same note, if you felt so inclined, adding some quirks or habits would make her seem more real and personable, and also more well rounded. They also add a little spice to rp.

I like her hobbies. They're very unique for the most part. I don't think I've seen acupuncture used before, and it's very neat that you've adapted that into her weapon. (Needles as weapons = win). Cooking seems to be a popular hobby. I wouldn't say remove it, cause it fits her character very well, but perhaps expand on it. Is there any thing in particular she enjoys cooking above other things? Perhaps making her own recipes, or making desserts.

The history is well written. Short and sweet but seems to hit all the key points from what I can see.

Lastly, I love that her heritage is Javanese. <3
PostPosted: Sun Sep 05, 2010 8:58 am


Thank you ^.^
I think I reworked the character like 3 times LOL
And her personality even more!

Yea, I'll check into that. I'm French so it's quite likely I did forget a word or a phrase doesn't make any sense haha!

That is a great idea!!! I shall put that in o.o
OMG That would look so cool XD
Gonna add that in biggrin

Yes, that's exactly what I was aiming for! Took me so much time to try and figure out a personality that was unique in itself XD Took a lot of research. lmao

I'll add in a quirk or two and see what others think :3

Yea, I knew cooking is popular, but it was built for again character growth :3 She'll probably drop it for another hobby in the future.

Yup! I went looking for a really different heritage! There is like... so little info on Javanese people on the internet o.o

Thanks for the crit biggrin
