Sophia "Phia" Bellaray     Name: Sophia Bellaray Nicknames: Phia Age: 20 Race: Human Culture: Valkian Appearance:  Sophia stands at a height of 5'4. She has flowing, black hair that falls in soft curls to her waist. Her eyes are a dusty blue-grey, soft and kind. She has a pale complexion that contrasts her dark hair. She is often in a dress, with dainty silver jewelry lining her neck and ears. She also sometimes has her apron with her, from baking. She's rather gentle and dainty. Her gaze and expression are normally soft, unless you get her going. She often is quiet, but not shy in any way. She loves to talk to people and get to know them. She never meets a stranger. Talking about baking is her passion, and sharing a good laugh can cure any sadness, according to her. When she smiles, she has a dimple in her left cheek. She is not one to fight. Phia dislikes fighting and especially dislikes when she is involved. She tries her best to stay out of arguments and such, because she is rather weak and soft-hearted. Whenever it comes to a fight, she is rather unprepared. She isn't very good at wielding weapons, either.  Story Adding shortly. Relations  Norin (Friend): "One of the first people I met here! A nice man, and I hope he gets his land sorted out soon. I could use ingredients." "Lovely to see you stop by the bakery... I hope you do keep your promise of produce. You also asked for a dance, which I hope you keep your promise of as well." Mulrath (Wary/Mixed emotion): "Mully! I think we will be great friends. I seem to get you out of your shell. You're rather protective... I might keep you around." "A date? Now Mully.." "You ask for a date and then walk away saying you couldn't do this... Why even bother." Anemos (Acquaintance): "You're definitely full of energy. I don't think Mully likes you very much..." Konrad (Acquaintance): "A doctor, you seem very nice. You somewhat intrigue me... Perhaps we will talk more." Anwar (Acquaintance): "Lovely man, the tea room is a nice place. I will have to try some pastries." Adrian (Acquaintance): "It was nice meeting you. I hope to chat again." Elion (Friend): "Lovely meeting you and I'm glad you love the pastries. You flatter me too much, rather sweet of you."  

OOC Minecraft Username: _Firefly Are you at least 18 years old?: Yes! 22 to be exact. Have you read the rules? (Link): Yes! (Optional) Were you referred by someone? If so, who: N/A (Optional) Introduce yourself if you’d like, as well as any creations you want to share (e.g. art, builds, skins): Hi, I'm Firefly! I used to role-play a lot on different servers, but took a break focusing on university and studies. I recently stumbled across old characters and old memories, and it really made me miss a community where I can make friends and create stories and characters with. I cannot wait to meet everyone! — In-Character Read the following prompt: The rhythmic lull of hoofbeats are a marching drum to the small group of pioneers and variety of folk you have found yourself amongst, packed into a wobbling wagon. The rolling plains of the Southern Reach and a clear sky stretch out all around you, the buzz of excited chatter a dull wash in your ears as your mind strays to your former life and what has led you here to new lands. “Nervous?” You blink, returning to the present moment. A kindly older woman sat near you is smiling warmly with a crinkle to her eyes. “I can tell it’s your first time. Still remember mine,” she flashes a grin and leans in. “Tell me my dear, why have you come to the Reach?” How do you respond (in character)? (150 words minimum - please make sure to include at least three references to our lore in your response, with two coming from different pages in the Compendium.  Two of the three selected should also be in-depth, avoid simply name-dropping lore terms. Tie the terms into your character's backstory. Why are they important to them?) "Oh!- Uh.." she smiles softly, rubbing her arm sheepishly. "I want to do my parents proud, especially my mother. You see, my parents were amazing merchants, Valks, who traveled and always would tell me their stories. My mother, however, was not just an amazing merchant, but an incredible baker as well. She used to share her goods far and wide. She always talked about how her lucky coin gave her the ability to reach so many people, and I can't help but wonder about her gambling habits. I always admired her and her recipes, though." She pauses, with a small sigh,"You see, she got very sick a few years back... I hated to see the way she would lay in bed, so weak and unable to do what she loved... She ended up passing, not without giving me one last task. She wanted me to carry on her recipe books, to make them for others and share goods just like she did. The Reach looks like such a place to do what my mother did, with different landscapes and people across the land. My brothers carried on with my father, and I thought maybe it was time for me to go on my own path. I'm not much of a fighter, so I feel a bit out of place with the Valkian Realm, with their strong steel and armor.  It's so intricate and well, steel. The only steel I would use would be baking and cooking utensils.." she laughed softly, before continuing. "The Reach, as you call it, may now be my newest adventure, my newest trade route, and my newest path in life. I may just be a human, a simple woman who just wants to make her way in the world, but I hope to make it a great adventure." She smiles, a dimple in her left cheek, before relaxing and opening a recipe book from her bag. This might not be so bad after all. — Character Name: Sophia "Phia" Bellaray Character Race: Human Character Age: 20 Brief Physical Description: Sophia stands at the height of 5'4.
