Character Diamond/Rhombus
Constant
- Compassionate (Positive)
Miana is a type of person who just can't leave other people alone when they're struggling; it doesn't matter how much she hates said person or how difficult the situation is- she just has to help them in some way or other. Miana doesn't believe it's about kindness or anything like that, however. She just doesn't like to feel helpless. - Pessimistic (Negative)
Everything around her has a negative outcome in the mind of Miana- surely she is bound to fail at everything she tries. Surely she's gonna get beaten up at the next corner. Having this mentality, most people would mistake her anxiety as extreme paranoia, but really, she's just incredibly worried for her life most of the time. However, being assigned as a Dek had gradually loosed her up- she's now able to steal little things here and there and sneak out once and a while, all while looking behind her back a dozen times, of course.
- Resourceful
Never wasting a single moment or item, Miana makes use of everything that's available for her use. However, to call her manipulative would be horribly inaccurate; she neither has the subtlety nor cunning to achieve this. If all else fails, she's always willing to come up with a new alternative. In a way, this keeps her pessimism to a healthy overly cautious level, knowing that there's other ways to spend her energy than wallowing in self pity. - Cynical
One can say she's just a mistrustful person, but Miana is not above suspecting a person's good intentions as something else. Keenly aware of her social status, she won't do anything to compromise that 'border' unless the situation calls for it (ie. someone get's physically hurt or if she feels her life is in danger). It would take a long time for someone to change her impression when it's already been made.
Penultimate Goals Gain a gnosis mark from Rak'keli- further studies as a medic. Pilgrimage to Mura to join the Opal Order.
Penultimate Conflict Her position as a Dek limits the opportunities that can be given to her, despite having the willingness to learn and her love for life (in a survival way- she has yet to learn other means of living) not a lot of people will give her the time or day for a chance. Also, she just doesn't have enough energy to exert in believing in any religion yet.
Ultimate Goal To be able to live in security and to devote herself in something.
Ultimate Conflict Unless she steps up to attain this for herself, Miana is unlikely to have anything close to this. For one, she's too wrapped up in 'surviving' the day to day basis of her life in Wind Reach, more concerned about her lack of food and shelter than the other aspects of herself; such as religion, education, ties with people, something she can readily give her life to. Her self imposed isolation makes it hard for anyone to establish relationships with her- denying her of her inherent desire for 'security' in her life in the form of romantic love or familial love.

Character Goals
OOC
- Find someone to rock her world
- Romantic experience- either one sided or not, doesn't matter.
- Leave WR after acquiring enough skill in either herbalism/medicine
- Open her up more- little by little, treating her selective mutism by showing her a more 'nicer' side of people.

- Learn how to read
- Indulge in herbalism
- Learn more about weaving
- Take care of someone as a 'sibling' (strong friendship)
A note to Self :
Miana depends on her selective mutism to avoid any social confrontations. In a way, she's addicted to it- it barricades her inner thoughts and self from other people. She can speak to people who seem to be in equal status than her- beyond that, she's unwilling to communicate other than hand signals and nodding.
