[Kara Vanis]

Kara Vanis Appearance Race: Human Gender: Female Appearance: On the taller side for a human woman, she has a slender build for a human female. Her hair is a deep black with a slight wave to it and reaches to just above her lower back when she wears it unbound. Her complexion is fair, made more so by the fact the has spent most of her life in doors. Her eyes are a deep blue in color boarding on grey in the right light. A long nose with a high bridge, high cheek bones, full lips and a slightly pointed chin finishes her face. When it comes to clothing she prefers darker colors in rich fabrics that are richly decorated, although they are fairly loose in and modest in cut. She is also found of jewelry and will often times wear as much as possible. Character Concept Outwardly at least, she is what a member of the nobility should be. Her parents having drilled what she should be from a very young age, and woe betide her if she should step out of line, as produced a woman who takes pains to be a perfect in social situations as she could be, it has become nearly an obsession. As has her purity, the more untouched she is the better value she has on the marriage market. As a result she is demure as possible at all times, more so when she is in the presence of men, going to far as to avoid eye contact with them, or psychical contact when at all possible. This has ended with her having spent most of her times indoors or with in the courtyard of her families home, making her fairly uneasy when out doors in any situation that not enclosed by walls or with out an escort to ensure her safe passage. Character History Kara was born as most girls in her class were to a mother more concerned with producing an heir than concerning herself with as children. Thus as a girl she was passed to a wet nurse and that was that. Life in the nursery thankfully was more pleasurable then it could have been with siblings and cousins to keep her company. It was these people who kept her from being too lonely, as her parents were content to leave her to the care of servants and private tutors. She was educated, some what as she grew older. She was taught how to run a household primarily, along with a smattering of other subjects. It was made clear she was to be educated enough to be acceptable in society and to land a husband, but not enough to allow her freedom of thought or to encourage behavior that would make her unhappy with her lot in life or to question her in laws when she grew old enough to marry. For that was her main purpose in life, until she made a good connection via marriage she was simply a mouth that had to be fed. As she grew older, other things were also introduced to her, how to appear to be a pure and virtuous young woman, no man would have her if they assumed she was used goods so to speak. Her movements were even more curtailed she was not to appear in front of a man alone, she was never to meet this he's eyes as it may make her appear to be immodest or worse yet bold. Her few travels were reduced to the occasional trip only with servants to mind what she did and then only with friends and their escorts. Left with every few things with which to entertain herself life as become a series of social events separated by long stretches of boredom and apathy boarding on depression for her lot in life.
