Hello. PM me people.
Elyssa Vetinari
[Age:]
21
[Date of Birth:]
30 September
[Place of Birth:]
Corus, Tortall
[Place of Residence:]
158 Lilydale Avenue, Central Corus
[Appearance:]
Elyssa is, in a word, pretty. She is a very attractive person and she knows it. She flaunts some of her features, much to the appreciation of certain young men. She is, however, slightly clumsy and is constantly falling over her feet. She has a sense of grace about her, which is often ruined when she has her face flat on the floor. She had a talent for dropping things in her youth, which she thankfully has grown out of.
With long titan hair and almond shaped, stormy grey eyes, she has a delicate look about her. She has long, slim fingers, very useful in the business of threadwork. She is of medium height, average. She keeps her hair back in a thick plait, for practical reasons of course. Her hair always looks, well, interesting as she has a tendency to stick pins in the bottom of the plait when she is working.
Her lashes are long, giving her eyes a curious dreamy look about them. Elyssa is an intelligent girl and her eyes show this. She is often biting her lip, a habit she picked up when she was very young. She is usually seen with thread in her hands.
[Attire:]
Elyssa dresses in the usual way of that of her wealth, with a twist. As all of her dresses are made by her, so she has a little fun with them. She uses vibrant colours and interesting patterns and she has a knack of knowing what looks good and what doesn’t. She usually wears slippers and her hands jingle with bangles.
Her clothing is of good quality and is always neat and clean. In the beginning of her apprenticeship she often had threads clinging to her skirts. She has gotten a much greater control of her power since then; her skirts are therefore free of thread.
[Personality:]
Elyssa may not be physically strong, but what she lacks in strength she makes up for in brains. Elyssa always was a very intelligent girl. Her father, being a rather wealthy salesman, paid for her to have a proper education. She has a knack for history, accompanied with a love for it she has had since her first history lesson. Her expertises are history, art and strangely geography. She has an intense curiosity that drove her to seek out knowledge in the form of books. As a child she always had her nose in some book or another, as long as they could afford it.
Her curiosity proved to be very useful to her. She had a knack of finding all sorts of tidbits of information and gossip. As the saying goes: Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. She loves social situations and is one of those people who have a quiet energy about them.
She is kind and caring. She has an intense knowledge of people. She has sensitivity towards all people’s problems and loves to listen to what they have to say. She is unusually un-phased by classes, which has lead to a lot of trouble. She has a quiet, creative sense and has a great sense of originality.
Her vibrancy is one of her good qualities whilst her temper is one of her bad ones. True to the cliché Elyssa has a temper to match her hair. If you interrupt her work, be prepared to face your doom. Her friends and acquaintances have learnt to be quiet around her while she is working.
Elyssa is quiet yet energetic. She is calculating and has always got some idea forming in her head. She is slightly scatter-brained and she may be forgetful at times. She is a work-a-holic, often staying up late to finish whichever project she is busy with at the moment. She is a bit of a dreamer and a thinker at heart
[Beliefs – personal and political:]
As I said, Elyssa is not phased by classes. She is a strong believer in chivalry, for reasons unknown. She is believes in peace and diplomacy. She is has a knowledge and an opinion of politics and likes to know what is going on in the world around her.
[Fears:]
Elyssa fear snakes. She hates snakes. Loathes snakes. They are the root of all evil in her mind. Her other, less important fears include dying, failing and pain. But mostly snakes.
[Likes:]
Reading, painting, weaving. Her friends. History. Chocolate, when she can get her hands on it.
[Dislikes]
Stupid people. Mathematics. Snakes. Spiders. Rodents. Badly made clothing. Pickpockets.
[Quirks:]
The tendency to mutter. The pins in her hair.
[Weapons:]
Her magic is always useful
She is strangely knowledgeable when it comes to knife fighting.
[Inventory:]
Threads, needles, pins ect.
[Strengths:]
Attractive. Gifted. Intelligent. Wit. People skills. The ability to read people. Her power over her magic. Attentive. Originality. Creativity.
[Weaknesses:]
Scatter brained. Temperamental. Lack of physical strength. Opinionated.
[Magic:]

To own her own dress shop.
[Family:]
Father: James Vetinari; wealthy merchant
Mother: Melissa Vetinari; Scribe
[Lover:]
No-one; nada; zilch
[Familiar/Pet:]
No-one; nada; zilch
[History:]
Elyssa Vetinari has had a charmed life. Her father was wealthy and Elyssa was his little princess. Being an only child she was pretty spoilt. Her mother was one of those who didn’t pay much attention, but that didn’t bother Elyssa. She loved being left to her own devises. Her mother may not have paid much attention, but she was always there and that is all that Elyssa needed.
Elyssa was born and bred in Corus, She grew up in a nice-ish house and often traipsed around her parental units. She discovered her magic at the ripe old age of four. She was soon seen walking about with threads flying around her head, and her lack of control over her magic became slightly dangerous: when she got angry, there was no knowing what your clothes would do. As was sensible, she was sent to the university to train her magic, but had little interest in it. After graduation, she did not pursue a career in magecraft.
She adored embroidery and sewing since she was small. She fawned over pretty dresses, although her clothes were often ruined before she could control her magic. As she did not follow the path of magic, she was not sure of what the wanted to do with her life. She tried many paths, the longest standing that of a barmaid, but eventually became a dressmakers apprentice at the age of 17. This laid things bare for her; Elyssa Vetinari soon stunned with her creations and skill with a needle. She does not yet own her own shop, but it a respected and well-paid dressmaker in one of the larger shops in Market Way.
