Sooo I guess I should start this off by explaining <3
I live in Scandinavia, and ever since I was a little kid I've been fascinated by the history and myths of the viking era - when I was 11, I'd read Saxo, when I was 14 my mom gave me a huge book with stories of heroes and tales. I love everything about this culture, my heritage and the strange tales they weave. They way they still, to this day, leave traces in our language and our customs - I find it fantastic, wondrous.

One of my favorite tales when I was a kid was about elverfolk. Or rather, as you are more likely to know them, translated to huldra - hollowbacked women living in mounds, ensnaring travellers or helping them, depending entirely on the tale.
Sometimes they are benevolent. Sometimes they delight in the pain of others. Other times they fall in love and are eventually forced to leave their spouse, others yet they capture random folk in their beautiful dances and take them back into their mounds, never to be seen again.
I wouldn't say that I can roleplay well enough to really do the tales of old their justice, but I think I could have fun with this - and hopefully others can share in the fun, as the character gets older and bond with more people. I'd love to give it a try, in any case; rather give it a try than give up beforehand.

I hope you'll enjoy Ise as much as I do; feel free to leave comments, criticism or questions and know that I always appreciate constructive criticism; I'm still evolving as a roleplayer, a writer, and any help you could give would be appreciated beyond words.

Full Custom Form
Name: Iselda
Ethnicity/Breed: Huldra (with a decidedly Nordic look)
Eye Colour: Dark blue, with a ring of lighter blue around the iris
Hair Color and Style: Golden to light blonde, long (to her ankles or longer) and loose with the exception of two small braids starting at the temple and coming together at the back of her head. (If that makes no sense at all, then a cascading braided crown or something - think medieval)
Clothing: Please, let me know what ERA they're from as well. If you'd like fantasy, asian clothes from long ago, please let me know!
Hmm, this is pretty much up to the artist - modern, ancient, fantasy, whatever, it's up to you! (though if you do go ancient, please remember that this is a Scandinavian creature)
Accessories: Maybe a brooch to hold the shawl together? I'd love it if you would draw her with the bracelet in the Reference Images section!
Any Body Art?:
Is there anything Special about your child?: Magical powers, special items, etc
Items: A longshawl made of 'fog and moonlight'; feel free to interpret this however you want to since it's a bit of a hard thing to draw. XD;
Powers: Able to become invisible if the hole in her back is uncovered, which, you know, could be a useful ability if she didn't have to take off her blouse to do it. As it is, inherently magical creatures can see her even when she's invisible, so it'd be a bit of an embarrassment.
Personality:
Friendly enough on the outside, but with a bit of a temper. She values politeness above all else, has a tendency to get lost in her own daydreams and isn't very practical.
She might have a bit of trouble relating to other people, their feelings and value, inherently having trouble with recognizing such as of as much importance as herself and those she considers to be hers. Territorial of her friends and possessions, she isn't very likely to share with others, either. She is usually very good at disguising this, however, making it unlikely for someone to know this unless they've seriously piqued her.
Furthermore, she has a problem putting her mind down to academic tasks, making school a chore for her. It's not so much that she hasn't got the brains, it's more that she finds it utterly boring and useless, and has no will or drive for it at all.
Reference Images:
Bracelet: bracelet drawing of bracelet (more details)
Anything Else?: I'd like her skin to be very, very pale - ethereal and such. Also, she has no back (or rather, her back is hollow).

FUTURE PLOTSTUFFZ::

Teen-> Meet another huldra! Get kidnapped by them, meet someone huldra-touched, seek them out, whatever! (also, decide! and use less exclamation marks!)

ANY STAGE-> Make a bff! Hoping to do this at baby/toddler-stage. Ask in-thread?? damnit i suck at this

TO-DO LIST::

MAKE A GUARDIAN CHARACTER!!1 Seriooooussssly.. or at least decide, or something! And s**t, don't even think about Charlie, she'd be traumatized for life, yeah.

Find a banner-maker. Or at least a pretty posting style. NOT light blue, 'cause Isabella's got that - go look at some hex codes or whatever. Light green? Could work. Unless you're thinking for Maddy, in which case, GET YOUR MIND STRAIGHT.
