Priscilla Barr

[Priscilla Barr]

Name: Priscilla Barr
Race: Human
Age: 22
Birthday: Summer 17, 497
Gender: Female
Physical Description: Priscilla is extremely pale, and extremely thin, with very little muscle on her body. She has light brown hair that goes down an inch past her shoulders, and that is usually fairly straight. Her veins are all extremely visible, and when she is standing, her legs are a dark nearly purple, red. She has various small scars on her hands, which also almost always have ink on them, along with large swaths of scar tissue on her arms and legs. Her body also often has numerous bruises on it, pretty much everywhere. It is not uncommon for her to be seen acting rather careful with some part of her body, and she looks quite a few years older than her actual age, with a few of her hairs already starting to grey. Her eyes are a light blue-grey color, and she is five feet and two inches tall.
Personality: Priscilla is an idealist, though, if you told her such, she would stubbornly deny it. She loves to dream big, but is also sensible enough to see the difference between what she wants and what she has. Incredibly intelligent, she has a tendency to accidentally come off as arrogant and condescending, when she is actually trying to be helpful. She is incredibly stubborn and constantly pushes herself past the limits of what she is physically capable of doing, often getting herself hurt as a result. She is also a bit prideful at times, and will reveal an otherwise hidden sharp tongue when she feels insulted. Despite her own physical weakness, she is incredibly defensive of those she cares about, and would hold no qualms about the consequences of her actions if said actions meant keeping those she cared for safe. She is also extremely religious, and has prayed to many gods at some time or another though those she worships the most are Qalaya, Eyris, Priskil, and Rak’Keli.
Ethics - She believes most strongly in equality of all sorts, and goes out of her way to make sure not to judge people, though she still fails in this regard rather often. She is against most forms of violence, though also understanding of the necessity of said violence at times. In general, she tries to see the best parts of everybody, and believes that everybody else should do the same. She is a strict follower of the rules, however, and has trouble understanding why people would break them in the first place.
Likes - Priscilla’s hobbies include spending whatever spare time she has learning new things and asking whoever she can questions whenever possible. She loves flowers, books, and looking at glass items, though she has none in her own dwelling.
Dislikes - People who break the rules (Without a very good reason), needless violence, and, though she will never admit it, she has a strong dislike of magic users.
Character History (Optional But Recommended)
Pre-Creation -
Her parents were in love when she was born, and, indeed, when her younger sister was born a year later. However, that would not last for very long. Her father was a wizard, a Reimancer to be exact, and went mad from overgiving when she was five. She spent the next three years treading lightly around him for fear of him snapping, as he was wont to do at any perceived disturbance. When he died, she wasn’t sure whether to mourn him or to sigh in relief.
From the time she was born, Priscilla was sickly, and as she grew older in only grew worse. She had constant headaches and body aches, and grew sick near constantly. Soon, she started having horrible migraines and trouble walking, even fainting at times. She was taken to healers in the city, but though they relieved her of her current pain, it always came back, and she was told that she would need to find a healer with more than a single, or as she was later told, more than two, mark of Rak’keli to heal her completely.
Severely limited in what she was able to do, Priscilla threw herself into the collection of knowledge, and dreams to be able to attend the university at Zeltiva to study, though this dream seems unlikely, considering her physical restrictions, and monetary restrictions.

The Illness: While in Mizahar there is no name for her health problems beyond simply being “sickly” and “frail”, Priscilla has a real world diagnosis of a condition known as Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. This syndrome often hits teenage girls and leaves them with fatigue, body pain, migraines, fainting, dizziness, nausea, brain fog, temperature regulation problems, and general body malfunction. Usually, it goes away as they hit adulthood, however as Priscilla has POTS (the acronym for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) due to an underlying condition, hers will not go away. There are no medications in Mizahar that can help, and, as explained in her history, healers with a single, or with two, gnosis marks of Rak’Keli would be unable to completely cure it. Rather, what they would do is get rid of her current symptoms. Her migraine would go away and she could stand without falling for a while, but, again, as a long-term malfunction of her body not caused by outside sources, it would take a healer with three marks to cure her.
