She of the fructifying flesh,
Glass film, perfume, cognac, lilac fumes,
He says it feels like heaven to him.
You have to be an artist and a madman, a creature of infinite melancholy, with a bubble of hot poison in your loins and a super-voluptuous flame permanently aglow in your subtle spine (oh, how you have to cringe and hide!), in order to discern at once, by ineffable signs--the slightly feline outline of a cheekbone, the slenderness of a downy limbs, and other indices which despair and shame and tears of tenderness forbid me to tabulate--the little deadly demon among the wholesome children; she stands unrecognized by them and unconscious herself of her fantastic power.
— Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita
"But he who does not grasp the thorn,
Should never crave the rose."
☙ Name; AvaMargot D’Arcy(Eh-vuh Mahr-go D-arsee). Due to her station, her middle/surname have been all but forgotten. She takes kindly to endearments like 'kitten' and 'doll', as she sees these words as 'pretty' and desirable.
☙ Age; Possessing a curious mingling of submissive naivete and youth and a stern, learned maturity that often leaves her clumsy, reserved and befuddling to those around her, the Angora presents as being in her mid-twenties.
☙ Alignment; Fluctuates but leans toward Lawful Good. ('A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. He combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. He tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished.')
☙ Astrological Sign: Capricorn, ♑. Patient and persevering, cautious and conservative in nature. Requires subtle affections and praise in order to feel accomplished. Ambitious when inspired, though on occasion must be pushed.
☙ Sex; Cisgendered, presents and identifies as entirely female and is increasingly feminine in her mannerisms.
☙ Voice; Breathy, feminine and simpering. There may be speculation that she 'puts on' this particular voice in order to appear less threatening and to soothe/disarm those around her, though with her features and general demeanour, it's rather difficult to tell. Her mother tongue is French, and she has some vague trouble speaking the Common tongue (though can do so conversationally). Often she'll slip between both tongues, especially when upset. When in the confidence of those she trusts, her voice will often drop an octave and become more natural and different from the higher-pitched, babying drawl she often holds in public. She is also able to speak the languages of the countries surrounding France so she may be 'more knowledgeable in trade'; German, Spanish, etc. This is only to a conversational degree, however, she is not entirely fluent and requires more teaching in order to be so. An appropriate voice reference would be Lana Del Rey.
☙ Species; Turkish Angora. (One of the most outgoing and affectionate of all cat breeds, the rare and beautiful Turkish Angora has a fascinating history and is considered a national treasure in its native land. Most likely, the breed originated in the mountainous regions of Turkey, where it developed an unusually soft, medium-long coat for protection against the harsh winters. Possibly it evolved from the Manul cat, a small feline domesticated by the Tartars. This pure, natural breed can trace its written history as far back as 16th-century France. The Turkish Angora’s soft, silky coat rarely mats and requires only minimal grooming.)
☙ Ethnicity; French, pureblood.
☙ Vocation; Slave, of the more ‘aesthetic’ sort. She is widely considered as a companion or form of escort, and does not possess many domestic skills. She is, however, skilled in caretaking, both personal – grooming, bathing and other forms of upkeep – and for others, more specifically young children and infants. Musically and creatively inclined and exceedingly willing to learn and adapt to new situations, social and otherwise. Ultimately, however, the trade she is most skilled in is dance - she has been classically trained in ballet, and cherishes this form of expression more than anything else. She has been used as an escort or accompaniment to parties and other social gatherings and is quite proficient at playing the 'doting companion', is very attentive to social cues, apt at suggesting possible conversation topics and remembering bits of information her client may not be so inclined to care for, such as the names, occupations or connections of their associates, partygoers or peers. All in all Ava has been molded to be the perfect companion slave, and while she is quite skilled in many factors of this 'branch' of the vast tree of slave skills, she still has much to learn.
☙ Class; Slave class.
☙ Income; Non-existent; all of her income goes directly to whichever individual owns her, and when not under ownership, the establishment she is owned by. Currently housed in The Golden Tether.
☙ Caste; Despite her station, she is elegantly presented and might be mistaken for a student or fledgling artist if one had not seen her behind the iron bars.
☙ Current Residence; Guildereim, in The Golden Tether. She sleeps in the Underhall for the most part, but occasionally is allowed access to the slave suites and a more comfortable bed depending on whether or not she maintains good behaviour.
☙ Marital Status; Single – she is wed to her collar, and is not permitted to take any lovers or have any sort of romantic relationship.
☙ Lovers; Not applicable, virginity is still intact.
☙ Preferences; It is uncertain what her true preferences are, as they adapt and adjust to each individual she encounters. If allowed to choose, she would sit at a fluctuating 4/5 on the Kinsey Scale ('Predominantly homosexual, and fluctuating between rarely and more than incidentally heterosexual'), though currently is a virgin and therefore this preference is based on infatuation and not true romantic or sexual experience.
☙ Style of Love; More innocent in her ways than most, her love is of a pure, more platonic sort. She feels deeply for those who are close to her, but does not seem to hold the capacity for real commitment and strong romantic feelings due to her background and strict training. It has been drilled into her head that she is not allowed to feel such things, so naturally, she has never truly experienced them.
☙ Plays/Kinks; None, may be developed over time.
☙ Turn-Ons; A firm, decisive touch.
☙ Turn-Offs; Demeaning acts, being made to feel inadequate. Too uncertain or unconfident a touch.
physical appearance
"As if you were on fire from within,
The moon lives in the lining of your skin."
☙ Appearance; Petite, compact, though still possessing litheness in her limbs and a sharp narrowness to her waist. Average height at 5'5" and 120 pounds, she is smaller as per the usual expectation of her species and slim, but with plush, feminine curvature and a general softness that goes hand and hand with a more indulgent lifestyle. She is wider at the hips and chest with more narrow thighs, legs and arms, and her limbs are more or less slim and toned. There is more weight around her hips and buttocks, but this is easily disguised by her fuller fur. Her body could be deemed by most as appealing in its swells and curves; it is clear that she has an impressive pedigree and would be suitable for mothering her own children, if the situation happened to arise. With a change in diet and more rigorous training regimen her body has tightened and slimmed considerably; she has lost a degree of her 'fullness' and instead holds a frame that is more appropriate for her skillset, though still pursues further physical training and perfection. A pair of accurate references are here and here. Deeper, more auburn-red hair with some tonal variation, hints of ginger and even some strawberry blonde in the summertime, extremely well-groomed and reaching the small of her back when wavy. It hasn't been cut once in her life, and is straight at the root with a slight wave from shoulders downward (though when met with sea water can develop a bit of a curl). An example is here. Typically she wears it loose, though does enjoy styling it, favouring elegant chignons, braids, and pinned-back looks. Fur is a pale cream, with lighter hints at the longer fur of her hips and tail. Her fur is also fairly long though is trimmed shorter for convenience and aesthetic appeal.
☙ Facial Features; Face is heart-shaped with fuller cheeks, high cheekbones and arched brows, her lips bow-shaped and more full than they are wide. They seem to look as if they are constantly pursed, and with dark stain can appear very plump. Her eyes are slightly 'cat-shaped' and narrowed, with long, dark lashes and a rich, deep amber iris with hints of green. Her brows are meticulously groomed and defined. A real-life example of facial features and structure is Taylor Hill.
☙ Notable Features; Her facial structure, eyes and lips are fairly unique, as is her colouring and the shade of her eyes. Overall she is quite a lovely specimen, exotic and attractive without being too overpowering of those around her.
☙ Body Type; A mild mix between hourglass and pear-shaped, she is heavier around her lower stomach and thighs with a noticeable ‘thigh gap’, slim calves and dainty ankles and feet as well as shoulders, arms, wrists and hands.
☙ Body Modifications; No piercings at this point in time. Any modifications must be done once ownership is established. Currently fitted with a chastity belt in order to preserve her purity until the time that she is purchased.
☙ Scars; None at this point in time – her lifestyle and upbringing as a fairly spoiled ‘pet’ would suggest that she has never been in a situation that would result in her being wounded.
☙ Diet; Somewhat finicky; she prefers raw meats and leans toward fish and poultry, but vastly enjoys fruits and other sweet things. Has an affinity for tea, especially chamomile.
☙ Style; Feminine, sweet and flattering, she prefers silks in pastels and other light colours to compliment her colouring and, when possible, will wear more airy dresses that wisp about her frame instead of conforming to it. After being formally assigned to the harem and with the changing of the seasons she was given a simple, yet still flattering dress in a soft, blush pink, whisper-thin to keep her comfortable in the island's heat though still bound at the waist and cut in a way to accentuate her more desirable features. She has been clothed in both dresses of the highest quality and rags befitting a pauper but, when pressed, will always admit to admiring the former most. She also quite enjoys more 'costume'-y ensembles with intricate corsetry and other more complicated decorations.
☙ Possessions; A band of gold that serves as a collar, upon which various chains and trinkets can be attached.
☙ Gifts/Trinkets; A gold-plated brush, given to her by an amorous patron after spying her between the bars. As it is harmless she is often permitted to have it for a period of a half-hour each day in order to groom herself. A pink and white diamond ring set in silver from Natasha, cherished and currently hidden either on her person or in the Underhall. An antique music box, no doubt kept as a memento of her childhood in Paris, and a pair of older and somewhat ragged ballet pointe shoes, no doubt another keepsake as they are far too battered to be worn and utilized properly. Erimear has also gifted the Angora a number of dresses and accessories of various lengths, styles and formalities, while all still maintaining a frothy, feminine appeal.
☙ Pets; None, though she would not be adverse to one.
☙ Coinage; None on hand.
☙ Scent; Elixir. Topnotes of rose and chamomile, middle of oakmoss, jasmine, muguet, ylang-ylang, and basenotes of patchouli, musk, amber and sandalwood. A classic scent; feminine, mature, a contrast to the girlish image she gives off.
☙ Health; Somewhat fatigued and paranoid upon return to service; she is notably more aware of her personal space and those who occupy it. Physically she is healthy aside from the side effects of lack of sleep and food - a note has been made with those responsible for her to see that she is monitored when slaves are fed to ensure that she eats.
personality
"She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry,
Still, you don't regret a single day."
☙ Her personality mimics how a stereotypical cisgendered woman might be considered to behave. She is of a sunny disposition for the most part, readily engages in conversations of many topics, and is boundlessly compassionate. She enjoys womanly things and is respectful of gender roles, and while she is more than capable of keeping up with others in verbal wordplay, she often only does so when comfortable, or when required to by obligation to whoever is currently invested in her. Committed to her station, she is frequently struck with feelings of guilt for what she has done in her life, but finds no easy way to repair the damages and so must move on. Her spirit is strong and she is warm in every aspect of her being; she seeks to offer those around her only kindness, acceptance, goodwill and love with the simple request that they offer it to her as well. However, she is also capable of deep, crushing sadness, firey jealousy and self-pity. Often she has been taken advantage of in the past for the sheer fact that she allows herself to be; she desires more than anything to be loved by all those who come into contact with her, and as a result does things that on occasion may be detrimental to her own well-being. Time spent in the presence of all sorts of differing character types - from noblemen to officers of the law to religious figures - has made her quite capable at cleaning up messes, keeping secrets and maintaining a distinctly positive public image; she is determined to ensure her client's reputation is spotless at all times, and is quick to squash any sort of reputation-damaging gossip with a few choice words and a radiant smile. There is something of a hidden sensuality to her, and she is smooth and pleasing in her words, her conduct and her appearance; if she were capable of flirtation she would surely be something of a tease. All in all an intelligent girl, respectful and kind, and in time and with further confidence will no doubt develop a higher self esteem and assertiveness that will keep her from being so easily manipulated.
☙ Personality Type; Melancholic. ('The defining feature of a melancholic attitude is perfectionism. They are idealists who wish for things to be a certain way, and they get distressed when they are not. They hold themselves and others to unrealistically high standards, and get distressed when these standards are not met. This leads to them being self-deprecating - because they do not meet their own standards - and critical of others - because those others do not meet their standards. Their generally dour demeanour comes from their inner struggle between an imperfect world and a desire for perfection. Many melancholics wish to learn and to understand, to know the details of every little thing, because to be ignorant is to stray from perfection. They are not content to just accept things the way that they are. They are inquisitive and ask specific questions in order to come to a clearer understanding.')
☙ Quirks; Fixates easily on tasks, especially when it comes to grooming. Will brush her hair for a number of hours if able; she gets lost in the motions and often daydreams and loses track of time. Toys with her lower lip when nervous or unsettled, and will often be seen either pinching it between her teeth or running a claw over it. Easily made to blush, it is very hard for her to conceal when she is embarrassed and this often results in her being even more embarrassed when others point out the obvious cherry of her cheeks. Has an aversion to germs and disease and will actively attempt to avoid those who are sick, cleans herself and the area she occupies as thoroughly and as often as she possibly can. Tends to confuse outward intention with ulterior motive; can be easily swayed in terms of opinion, has a bit of a 'victim' complex where she will readily receive abuse and mistreatment, so long as it is countered with some pampering or affection.
☙ Strengths/Weaknesses; Sweet, genial and genuinely kind; she is aware of her station and each choice she makes reflects this. She is certainly well-trained but still open to opportunities to learn further, and listens and watches those around her quite attentively in order to pick up any sort of learnable skills. Adversely she is rather nervous and prone to fits of anxiety, her confidence at times can wane if she deems herself or is told by another that she is inadequate. A vast fear of failure means that at times she can be left crippled emotionally if given too harsh a word of criticism.
☙ Talents; Grooming and aesthetics, massage, some childcare and nurturing skills. An exceptional pianist and fledgling violinist, very musically inclined. Has quite a lovely singing voice, very soothing and pleasing to the ears.
☙ Disorders; None noted aside from a moderate form of anxiety, as well as a recorded history of self-harming tendencies when under high levels of stress, both personal or perceived. Self-harm has not resulted in any lasting damage as of yet, but should be monitored should it occur in the future.
☙ Superstitions; Not terribly superstitious, though does believe in the idea of putting out good into the world and receiving such in return.
☙ Dieties; Actively praises Danival, Lady of Beauty and Prime of Mustelines and Jujinka, Lady of Green and Prime of Love.
☙ Likes/Dislikes; Reading, collecting candles and incense - both reminders of her travels before coming to the island - writing both poetry and professional documents, light conversation, tea and sugar cookies, crisp, fruity wines. Dainty, fragile accessories and hair pieces, brushing her hair and having it brushed or toyed with by others, equestrianism (more specifically dressage) and caring for horses. Stereotypically 'feminine' things; delicate trinkets, flowers, small children and animals, tending to said small children, animals and plants/flowers. Playing the piano, cello and violin, reading and writing sheet music, singing and being generally musical. Alternately she dislikes sudden, loud noises - including bellowing voices or tones that rise over a certain decibel or pitch - being distracted from her work, close physical contact, being purposefully intimidated, feeling as if she's being taken advantage of - and most negative feelings - cold tea, overly hot climates/the sun beating down on her fur, tight shoes, feeling stifled or suffocated, accessories that are snug around the throat.
☙ Vices: Ignorance (naïveté), timidity, lack of endurance/self-deprecation. Lover of praise and hatred of criticism. Possessing elaborate and far-flung desires.
☙ Virtues: Compassion, wisdom, submissiveness, chastity. Kindness, appreciation and care of beauty and beautiful things, humility. -
I would do anything for you,
To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on Earth.
