Your Character
[Full Name:] Elirane Winnamine Temaida Balitang
[Age:] 19
[Gender:] Female
[Date of Birth:] April 23rd
[Place of Birth:] Rajmuat Palace, Rajmuat, the Copper Isles
[Residence:] Corusai Estates on Gempang
[Class:] Royalty
[Title/rank:] Princess Elirane Winnamine Temaida Balitang
[Alignment:] Neutral
[Occupation:] Kyprish ambassador to Tortall
[Appearance:] Elirane, or Lirane as she likes to be called, is half raka and half luarin. She has the trademark creamy-gold skin of a half-blood. Her eyes are warm and dark brown. Lirane inherited her grandmother Winna's brown hair. It is waist-length, but it is usually pinned up in the proper style of a maiden of the Isles.
Lirane has also inherited her grandmother's height. She stands at 5'7". Lirane uses her commanding height to make a good first impression on people. She has a thin build, but she isn't very strong. Her mother, Petranne, didn't want her to ruin her hands by exercising or using many weapons.
[Attire:] Elirane dresses in the style of the Isles, even when she isn't at home. Under Queen Dovasary, raka fashions have mixed with luarin fashions. Lirane usually wears a shawl or traditional raka wrap-around jacket with her silk gown. Occasionally, she will wear a luarin over-robe instead. When Lirane is at home, she sometimes wears a raka sarong. She can't wear it out, though, because it isn't very decent.
[Personality:] Many people have said that Lirane is a lot like her aunt Dove. She is normally quiet when a conversation is being held (unless she's the one holding it) but she's not afraid to voice her opinons when she needs to. She can control her temper very well, since she grew up in the royal household. Lirane is intellectually inclined, and loves libraries.
However, she has always had more confidence than her aunt had, probably because she was visibly important from the moment she was born. Lirane hold her head high, and can be very commanding when she needs to be. Also, she isn't as passionate as Dove, since she doesn't have to worry about governing a country or winning a rebellion.
Lirane is also good at polite conversation and persuasion, and because of this, her aunt sent her to Tortall as an ambassador. However, there isn't that much for her to do there except keep telling the monarchs that Queen Dovasary and Alianne Crow and putting their utmost effort into the search.
[Beliefs – personal and political:] Lirane isn't as opinionated as her Aunt Dove, but she does hold some strong beliefs. She believes in being sensible, and thinks that people who are foolish are quite stupid. She was raised in a family of high morals, and therefore would never willingly hurt anyone. However, if someone is being hurt unjustly and it would be of a disadvantage to her to speak out, then she won't. Lirane isn't dramatically conservative or progressive, but she is a mixture of both.
[Fears:] Being sent into exile, losing her friends and family, death
[Likes:] Bows, arrows, knives, dresses, diplomatic negotiations, libraries, books, chess, reading, intelligent conversation, her family, her friends
[Dislikes] Swords, stupidity, arrogance, crudeness, Kyprish race stereotypes, being judged, people who don't like her, assassins, people who oppose her aunt Dove
[Quirks:] She can't raise one eyebrow, however hard she tries. She thinks raising two looks strange, so she never raises her eyebrows.
[Weapons:] She is good with a bow and arrows, and competent with daggers. Other than that, she can't use anything.
[Inventory:] Many dresses and gowns, 1 longbow, a quiver of arrows, 4 daggers, a grey mare
[Strengths:] Her intelligence, her diplomatic skills, conversation, polite control
[Weaknesses:] Physical weakness, not being driven, not having strong beliefs
[Magic:] None
[Goal:] To live a comfortable life, to read all the books in the world (not going to happen)

[Lover:] None
[Familiar/Pet:] A white miniature kudarung named Nitara.
[History:] To create a royal twice-royal, half-blood house, Dove decided that her sister Petranne, who had Rittevon blood, would marry Navrun of Temaida, who had Haiming blood. The two were betrothed for many years before the marriage actually took place. They didn't have a fairy tale love story, but they liked eachother well enough.
Elirane was the first child of the marriage, born when Petranne was 21. She was given a luarin-style name. Her sister Rusagani (called "Rose" or "Saga") who was born three years later, was given a raka-style name. The two grew up in the royal palace, and were doted upon by their family. Petranne didn't want them to learn weapons, since she was one of the more conservative members of her sister's court, but Dove insisted that they be taught how to defend themselves.
When she was 18, Lirane was appointed the ambassador to Tortall. It was an important job, but not as vital as some others, since the Isles and Tortall were allies. Nevertheless, Lirane took her job very seriously.
