Name: Age: 40
Appearance: 5’8”, short, tousled black hair, orange eyes
[X]Species: Flamestung
Weapon, if any: keris (asymmetrical, wavy sword), bow
Star of (if any, requires permission): Eros
Abilities (if star provides it): Karelia is generally viewed as being extremely sexually attractive to the opposite gender. Men don’t immediately fall in love with her per se but most would love to get her into bed. However, it’s important to understand that this is less because she’s beautiful or sexy and is more a deep seated desire/need within the other person to procreate with her even if they don’t quite understand that themselves.
Note: This ability does not affect all men equally. Some are only faintly influenced by this while it affects others quite powerfully. It really depends a great deal on the man’s personality. It’s very much dependant on the man’s personality how deeply this blessing affects him and how he responds. Some may be too restrained to act on their desire while others might shower her with affection and compliments to win her over while others might outright force themselves on her.
Extremely gifted in archery in an almost unnatural way.
Profession: Emissary
Social status (noble, peasant, middle class, etc): Noble
Sexual orientation: Straight
Personality: Karelia is extremely easy going. Even in fighting she’s playful and teases her opponents. She always prefers to take prisoners rather than kill if possible but she’s not above maiming and injuring. Though she’s quite (unintentionally…usually) flirty, she isn’t exactly looking for a commitment in fact, the opposite really. She’s a free spirit would likely not enjoyed being tied down by a commitment, having resigned herself to the fact that she’ll never have a normal relationship with a man anyway.
Short background/history: Karelia’s parents realized very early on that their child elicited extremely odd reactions from the males that she met—even when she was very young. They suspected her of having been blessed by a star but weren’t able to piece it together until the first time she picked up a bow. Her entire childhood was spent isolated from males beyond close family—who were barely affected by her ability. She underwent a great deal of training on how to defend herself during this time in addition to her other studies.
She was assigned female body guards who still accompany her everywhere though she is now old enough both understand her situation and protect herself. Her guards hang back unless it appears she truly needs them to physically come between her and a…fervent male. She has always been aware of her ability and its impact on the men around her and knows she will never have a normal relationship, because of this, she tends to rely on the females in life for deep friendship, not willing to rely on men for any sort of long term companionship.
She has recently been sent to Aeolus Republic as a representative of Tyresica.
Affiliations (relationships, alignment with various societies, et cetera):
Anything else: Karelia is very good at defending herself as her gift has occasionally made her a target for assault.
She has been labeled as being born until the star of Eros and as such usually tries to gently dismiss the affections of those under the influence of her star. Unfortunately she can’t exactly tell when someone truly is interested in her or is being affected by the gift so she dismisses just about every man that approaches her in a romantic way.
Karelia is always flanked by two female guards. They are highly disciplined and extremely well trained in the art of fighting. They sometimes run messages for her or even act as doubles if need be.
