All right all right I'm joining, I was summoned not once but twice xD
Anyways I got distracted writing a fat edgy backstory sorry for being late
Name
Tory Lynden
Age
17
Wealth status
Used to be noble level rich and influential, but due to a recent disgrace of their name, their family has been rapidly losing money.
Appearance
(not my art)
Personality
Sweet and quiet, absolutely a pushover and tries her best to please everyone. She's not exactly brave or resolute in any ways, and even if she dislikes something, she would rather deal with it than protest at all. Despite growing up quite wealthy, she's not one to complain or be selfish, and she's good at heart although she could be threatened into doing something bad. She can appear extremely poised and charismatic if needed, though she's usually shyer and doesn't like to draw attention to herself. If caught in a situation between two groups, she'll usually pick the one that will most likely end up the best for her, rather than following any other existing loyalties (again, unless she's scared or threatened). She's fairly bright and clever, although she may not seem so at first, as they tend to just see the "frightened rabbit" side of her and assume she's a fool.
Strengths
- Fairly perceptive
- Good at appearing charming or putting on a facade to hide her feelings (not too great at actually lying though)
- Pretty sharp-witted if she wants to be or has to think fast
Weaknesses
- Gives in to people easily, even if not being threatened
- Not physically powerful
- Rarely finds determination
Chosen alteration
Birdiness, specifically a meadowlark.
She has some unusual dark barred markings (see feathers) along her arms and neck. She has increased agility and is very lightweight, allowing her to balance easily. She also has several yellow and black feathers throughout her hair, and it's a mystery where they come from xD She can jump inhumanly high, and can almost always land lightly on her feet.
Chosen Item
Hair clip with a deliberately pointy but hidden end
Chosen Outfit
Reference, not my art, without the hood/ears
Her father basically assumed she was going to immediately die so he made sure she was dressed more presentably than sensibly. She didn't want to die all that badly, but all she risked doing was getting in the hair clip (see chosen item), which was basically the best and smartest thing she could afford to do.
Fatal Flaw
How easy it is to walk all over her, obviously. She can be arm twisted and threatened into doing literally anything, usually by threatening to harm/kill her, or if she's already scared of you. It does help slightly that at this time she doesn't really have anyone or any possessions she cares about enough to be manipulated.
Backstory
Grew up the youngest of a noble family (3 older siblings, 2 male and 1 female). Her mother died when or around the time she was born, leaving her with her distant, aloof (and often cruel when he was around) father who was always set on bettering the family's name and wealth. Around the time of her birth, rumors began to circulate that her mother was a witch (long story). When her mother died, rather than the rumors disappearing, even more began to circulate that the death was done on purpose by her father, as it was well-known that her father was not happy with the witchy stories, plus the exact circumstances of her death were covered up. Despite this, her father was still extremely influential, so little by little, they began to regain prominence, though it was extremely slow and unknown whether they would ever reach the same heights as previously.
When she was 16, her father made a drastic decision to attempt and clear their family's name: he "brought to light" that her mother had been murdered, then soon after blamed a much poorer man for it. This man was an extremely close friend of their family, specifically to the children, and while the children had always cowered before their father's orders (Tory most of all), well, let's just say a bunch of chaos went down in which there was a trial, evidence was given that the man was innocent, and the children all entirely refused to back up their father's claim. Although he was not punished for the false accusation, as there was no evidence that he hadn't simply made an error in judgement as he claimed, his reputation was further set back, as they had seemingly made him out as a fool (though somehow not enough to damage it too much). Afterwards, her father gave her siblings the option to either stay with him or leave and forever be an outcast. Two of her siblings left (the younger of the boys and the sister), however, Tory stayed behind because she was underage (lol) and was afraid that her father would punish her for leaving (because although he hadn't stopped the other two, she was worried that being the third out of four would drive him over the edge). Her eldest brother also stayed, stating that he had simply made a mistake in not supporting his father, because he had always been close to his father in more ways than one and was basically the favorite son (though more likely because he wanted to take over his father's riches somehow, as he was extremely ambitious)- therefore leaving her subjected to the unwanted attention of both him and their father, who was often even more ruthless and cruel than he used to be.
Aaaaaaaaaa

How active are you
Very very active, though I may drop out if it gets too busy or moves too fast because it does get kind of annoying to keep up with regardless of my actual activity |
