The scent of pride. Pride, the worst of all Sins, the perverted excess of self-love. Pride, the cause of the Fall.
.[ p r i d e ].
00000moroccan rose
The powerful scent of the moroccan rose is incredibly floral and fills a small space quickly. It's seen as an aphrodisiac, and is excellent for an love and fertility rituals or an erotic night with a lover. Roses are the flowers of love-- an excess of them for an excess of love.
narcissus00000
Narcissus was a youth cursed by Ameinias, a spurned would-be lover of Narcissus who killed himself on Narcissus' doorstep. Ameinias begged the gods to one day make Narcissus feel the pain of unrequited love, and his wish was granted; Narcissus fell in love with his reflection and killed himself, becoming a flower, the symbol of self-love and overwhelming pride and beauty.

Name: Tabbriel

Nicknames: Tabby
Scent: Pride
Gender: Female
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Guardian: Lady Arch Aneless
Hobbies: Exercising, flirting, dressing up in inappropriate clothes, adrenaline-hunting
Likes: Herself, her things, demonology, one-upping

Deepest Fear: Nothing she'll admit.
Favorite Animal: Panthers

Image Song: U + Ur Hand - P!nk
Myers-Briggs Personality Type: ESTP
Three Words: Narcissistic, Rebellious, Maddening
Personality: Tabby's a brat, plain and simple. She loves herself almost as much as she loathes herself, which makes for interesting logistics when she moves through the world. She knows she's better than everyone else, and while she doesn't always flaunt it, that remains in her bearing. She's well aware that people may disagree with her, but they're wrong, and she's right. It's that simple.
She enjoys playing with people though; at least, she likes toying with them. If they're not intelligent enough to know when they're being messed with, that's certainly not her problem-- their loss, her gain. As a result, it's fairly hard for her to keep friends, she's lucky enough that her family stays with her. She tends to not care what anyone else thinks of her; their judgements don't matter, they're not intelligent/important enough. So, instead, she'll take what's given her and make the most of it-- and if she doesn't like it, she'll break whoever tried to mess with her.
Tabby prefers being around people though, in spite of her distaste for them because she likes what they can give her-- attention. She craves the spotlight, and as she gets older, she uses all of her wiles to get that moment, even if it's fleeting. She's well aware that she's not everyone's cup of tea, but she doesn't care, and does what she can to make herself what she thinks she is: the best at everything.
Odd as it may seem, Tabby's not a particularly judging person. Perhaps this comes from the fact that she goes into any situation assuming she's better than everyone, but she tends to treat everyone equally, unless they get in her way. If they get in her way, they're asking for whatever they get.
She's spontaneous, and loves all manner of dangerous tricks, which drives her sister Eri a little crazy. Tabby's an adrenaline junkie, and while her mother tries to harness this towards constructive ends (gymnastics, rock-climbing, other dangerous sports), Tabby would rather find her own way to hunt down a fix. All in all, she's a brat about it, not listening to anyone but herself (for the most part).

Unlit Scent: Fiery reds and golds swirl through the oil, colors of rebellion, passion, and pride.
Lit Scent: The liquid becomes more orange, tinged with red and red and gold as the colors mix. The smoke rising from the oil is shimmering gold, a heady, delicious, dangerous scent.
.[ t h e b a s i c s ].
Skin: Lightly tanned, Tabby's skin is golden from all her outside activities. She hates being kept indoors, and she hates putting on sunscreen, so her skin keeps that golden shade. [Reference].
Eyes: Tabby's eyes are a sparking gold, eternally glinting with mischief and bad ideas and future headaches for her guardian and family.
Hair: With red hair streaked with gold, Tabby tends to look a little like she's aflame when she's in the sunlight. She keeps her hair short and styled, preferring to not have it in her way when she's running about. She exasperates her guardian this way, since whenever Arch won't let her get her hair cut, Tabby will do it herself.
Always Wearing: A golden ring she wears on a silver chain around her neck.
.[ t h e d e t a i l s ].
Child: Arch demands some say in this stage, and at this point, Tabby's a little too small to disagree too vehemently. Tabby's hair is long as a child, shoulder-length, with bangs framing her face, but always tied back in a ponytail, due to the Scent's inherent dislike of it getting in her face. She dresses fashionably, usually in a tight blue half-sleeve tee shirt and a darker blue hoodie-shirt with the hood thrown back-- Tabby would tear it off if she could, it has a habit of getting caught on things-- and dark shorts.
Adolescent: At this point, Tabby doesn't give a damn what Arch has to say, she'll dress how she likes. To Arch's great displeasure, Tabby believes in dressing in tight tops that reveal more skin that Arch thinks appropriate (even though Arch's the most liberal of the sisters. Tabby enjoys experimenting with makeup, darkening her lips to a deep red-orange to match her hair and giving her eyes that smokey look in whatever color she's chosen for the day. Tabby discovers and loves corsets, enjoying the way they enhance her natural assets-- which, while not overly large, are not particularly small either and quite firm. If Arch's particularly lucky, she'll wear a tight, short skirt to go with her fishnets and garters. She always wears stilettos, no matter where she's going, though she tends towards knee high boots rather than strappy sandals. She's cut her hair short and stylish, almost like the wildflower style on Gaia, though not as blocky. Given that she's in a corset, her goal is sort of for an hourglass figure-- though she pretty much has that.
Adult: She may have reached maturity, but that means next to nothing, really. Tabby tends towards stylish, strapless little black dresses with notched necklines to show off-- which Arch is only too willing to help with given that at least it's more acceptable than what she wore when she was younger. The stilettos haven't gone away, but at least she's beginning to think about her appearance in a not-so-revealing way. They've also progressed from knee high boots to ankle boots or fine sandals, which makes Arch sigh in relief. Her body's very hourglass shaped from the corset-training she did as an adolescent, and she likes showing off her thin waist with a silver chain-belt around her waist. She's let her hair grow out long enough to put it in an updo, which she spends time on every morning. Her makeup's toned down a bit, a little more natural, letting her golden eyes and odd beauty speak for itself.
Elder: Ah, the wisdom of the ages teaches all of us to be kinder and gentler and humbler-- aw, screw it. Tabby's still as much of a self-absorbed brat as she always has been, and while she dresses in more elegant dresses, she still enjoys looking stunning and catching everyone's eye. Her figure hasn't slipped an inch, and she makes sure she doesn't have a wrinkle with a strict regiment of cremes and balms. Her red hair now has streaks of silver to match the gold, and she's let it grow long, letting it lie loose for the most part or in a french braid.

Image Song: I'm Not Dead - Pink
Myers-Briggs Personality Type: INFJ
Personality: Arch doesn't really like people very much. Well, we take that back. She likes certain kinds of people, those who meet her standards of excellence, and those who interest her. Also, those she has an interest in. She just doesn't like humanity as a whole, thinks it's going the wrong way very quickly and must be corrected.
To her family, she's the crazy baby sister who was given a great deal of money from various patrons for services rendered. She lives like a queen, but what her sisters don't know is that she earns every penny, walking in dreams to hunt down the dark individuals who make humanity worse off. If you kill someone in dreams, their body will waste away and die, after all.
Arch does her best to be a fair parent, but she spends most of her time focusing on other things, leaving the actual parenting to her daughter, Eri. Eri has no problems with this, as the girl's gifted with children. She's not really Arch's daughter, but rather, a dream Arch accidentally took into the real world, forcing her into a human body.
Arch has various abilities that will be defined at a later date.

Well, the long and the short of it is that Pride is the worst sin. It is an excess of love, but a perverted love, self-love rather than love of others or love of God. Pride is the sin which caused the Fall, the sin which damned mankind. It captivates me because I know that I've fallen victim to it, that almost everyone has.
Arch is given Tabby, rather than my other guardians because she's the one most likely to be able to handle her. With Arch's defiant nature and Eri's calming influence, Tabby will likely turn out less screwed up than when placed with any other guardian OC of mine.
