Rank: N/A
Physical Description:
Facial features :: Enlali has a rather heart shaped face with fairly high cheekbones and rosy cheeks. Her nose is fairly average in shape and size, but is dusted over the top by a speckling of brown freckles. She isn’t what you would call stunning by any stretch, but there is a certain homely and most definitely feminine charm to her features that some might find attractive if they wanted a more gentle woman for their wife.
Hair Colour :: Somewhere almost exactly between Blonde and Brown, a dark honey colour with a slightly darker under layer where the sun can’t reach it.
Hair Style :: She has left it to grow quite long so that loose curls fall about half way down her shoulder blades. She keeps it trimmed neatly, and it’s often held back from her face by a head scarf, usually in a blue colour. She has bangs that she’s been growing out that lay down to just past her chin unless she can keep them tucked behind her ears though they often tumble into her eyes.
Eyes :: Her eyes are a warm, medium brown that usually seem to have a soft smile to them. They’re gentle, though they give away what she’s feeling rather easily as it isn’t really in her nature to try to hide her emotions. If she’s happy, they will smile, if she’s sad they’ll show it.
Complexion :: She has fairly tanned skin from time spent out in the sun working on weeding and taking a meal out to her father and brother while they work, and staying out to talk with them as they eat. She’s never been kept indoors so the sun has had time to kiss her skin.
Height :: 5ft1
Build :: For the most part Enlali is of rather petite proportions to go with her rather diminutive height. She has however lived a good life during her eighteen years of it so far, and has never wanted for comfort, rest or food. Her figure is soft and feminine, with curves where they should be and a pleasant roundness to her arms.
Unusual Features :: She has a small, dark, almost oval shaped birthmark on her left shoulder, it’s only about half a centimetre in length, and about half as wide.
Clothing :: She wears clothes styled for the purpose of comfort and practicality rather than visual appeal. Skirts and blouse like tops which either lace or button up tend to be her favourite, trimmed with very simple lace around the cuffs if she can have it, and often a little on the large size as they were often her mother’s which she has worked herself to take in, waste not want not after all.
These are usually in soft cream or beige tones. Her skirts tend to be long, down to the floor brushing her simple leather shoes and trimmed with brighter colours, blues and reds, but only in small amounts for the most part. The main fabric of the skirts tends to be similar to the tops she wears. Her outfits are usually finished by a bright coloured sash in various colours tied around her waist to work like an apron, only slightly more colourful and a set of rather roughly made knotted bracelets around her writs.
Personality: Enlali was brought up to be very well mannered and respectful to her elders, and kind to her peers. She had a fair number of friends when she was growing up, and always managed to be well liked. Though life was never all fun and games, there was always work to be done, the kitchen to be cleaned, clothing to be repaired, she was always a happy child, and never wanted for love affection and attention from her family. She has ever had a sweet disposition and a willingness to help others if she possibly can.
The happiness she felt as a child has continued into her first venture into adulthood. She smiles readily and is rarely ever affected by timidity or shyness. She loves to speak with people and finds the lives of others fascinating tales if they will tell them, but she will always step away from any situation where she perceives herself to be an irritation as she is aware not everyone will take to her forward nature to well. Her nature is generally affectionate and she takes to people easily, and also trusts easily as well, a feature which she is only vaguely aware could be a slight disadvantage to her. She always attempts to think the best of everyone until the proof cannot be denied.
Despite all of this however she will not be easily pushed around. If there is a cause she feels strongly enough about either following or not, she will stand her ground and until you can provide a satisfactory reason for her to change her mind, it is not likely she would do so... There are moments when her perfectly sweet nature can slip away into a moment of mild silliness or even a rather quirky comment or two, these tend to only happen around people she isn’t afraid of offending in some way however. She has a very strong sense of humour and enjoys to laugh and play as her life has been fun for her, she doesn’t really know any other way of acting.
Since a fairly young age she has had a tugging fear of the dark, there is no real reason behind it other than the fears of a small child never quite leaving her. It is not a crippling issue, but it can cause her some discomfort and lead to her seeking out the company of her friends and family some nights or having to sleep with some manner of light. Bad weather at night can often end with her finding herself sleepless.
History: Enlali was born, and grew up on a Cothold with her mother, her father, her older brother and two sets of Aunts and Uncles. She spent her early childhood playing with a couple of young cousins while working hard at getting under her mother and fathers feet. She would play in the mud, draw, laugh and generally live a very happy life. As she grew older her mother began to find little jobs for her to do, scrubbing tables, helping to fold clothes, and helping lay the table for meals soon led onto more, cooking, washing clothes, cleaning and helping to keep house, mending clothing and fabrics.
Never for a moment did she resent her life. She loved her family and took great pleasure in taking food out to her father and brother as they worked, and listening to her mother hum and sing as she worked in the kitchen. She was happy, and she remained happy as she grew older.
When her baby sister was born, Enlali was more than ready to take on the task of helping her mother to care for the small baby. She enjoyed the experience and by the time her little sister was able to totter around on her own Enlali was honestly more than content with the notion that her lot in life was going to be that of a mother and housewife, nothing could honestly have seemed more pleasant to her. She never really foresaw any reason that things should change.
Pets: None. Her life has thus far been devoted to helping her mother and taking care of her baby sister in recent years.
Other/Talents: Enlali has no real talents, but she is rather proud of the fact that she can cross her toes without having to use her fingers too often, and can press the palms of her hands together behind her back.
