Name:Aoide
Age:18
Gender:Female
Sexual Preference:Heterosexual
Rank:Candidate
Appearance: Of a small frame and stature, Aoide is not the most beautiful girl. Actually when compared to other women she would not even be considered beautiful. If anything, cute would be the best she would classify herself as. Large and rounded eyes of a plain shade of blue, nothing fantastic or out of the ordinary she is glad to simply have blue as an eye color as brown seems to be the majority. A fuller lower lip gives her a permanent pout, but her mouth is so often left with just a hairline crack open that it gives her a rather careless quality. Of a light complexion and fairly auburn brown hair that falls long to mid-back, Aoideis not the exotic creature that she wishes she was, especially when her long tresses were typically kept up in a swirled bun at the back of head while working. Her facial features seem to have a soft cast to them, as her chin and jaw line all seem to have a smooth and rounded quality to them.
While she is not pudgy by any means she is not stick thin like many of the hold bred girls either, perhaps a happy average would suit her very well. And so she very much prefers more unisex clothing then feminine frills and gowns. In her typical day, she wears a loose dark colored tunic of rough origins that falls down to mid thigh. Dark so as to cover up any stray food stains. With that she usually has a pair of loose trousers or on days that she feels are special occasions perhaps a long thick skirt that falls to the ankles. In other words this young woman is quite fashionably challenged. But who needs fashion when they are behind an oven and sacks of flour the whole day?
Personality: A girl that is constantly lost in her thoughts, she is not known to be an outgoing person. While she will not approach someone for a conversation, unless she feels that it is completely necessary or sometimes out of sheer spontaneity, but if approached it would seem that the glacier within the young woman would suddenly burst and a torrent of words and emotions will spill forth. In other words, she is not so much shy as she is reserved, and perhaps it is this fact that many others view her as antisocial. They simply never gave her the chance to get to know them.
And it is due to this fact that the mild tempered girl treasures her friends and family so dearly. But despite this, she has a fairly limited amount of friends as she is quite selective of those who she lets close to her. Harboring a great fear of being used and thrown away, Aoide cannot manage to get over this phobia. Having a rather blatant commitment issue it is hard for her to trust others. The simple idea of being too trusting by itself is rather painful and so she has become a rather guarded about her own personal issues. Although it is fairly easy for her to maintain and build relationships once they have started, as she is a patient listener who offers more a good ear then constructive criticism or advice. But sometimes all people need is someone to listen to them.
But in the end she is still a rather easy person to be around, giving off a warm and contented aura that draws people to her. While contrasting sharply to the confident charisma others have, she exudes a sense of sensibility, responsibility, while also issuing a feeling of maturity. Aoide does have her childish sound, however. It excited or nervous her blunt and sometimes unneeded remarks are somewhat biting and sharp. These traits however do not appear often, but when they do, it would seem like the nice young woman just turned into a crabby old spinster.
Lost in her daydreams, she’ll easily start fantasizing and get sucked into her reverie leaving her rather unconscious about the world around her. And perhaps this isn’t such a bad thing, as Aoide is known to turn on some sort of auto-pilot that does her work for her with the results being even better then when she was consciously doing them.
History: The daughter of one of the Head Cooks at ~~~~ Hold, Aoide grew up in the kitchens. Ever since she was little her world was filled with chopping boards and the smells of the coal of a furnace. Her mother had attempted to train her daughter in the culinary art form that had given her and her daughter a living with the utmost sincerity, but yet Aoide failed again and again. She was not able to produce the level of delicacy and finesse that many other children of her age could achieve, even though her training had begun long before theirs. It was with a brief examination that it was discovered that her taste buds were not as sensitive as normal humans. Her ability to taste salty, sour, and spicy foods were below average, but somehow her ability to taste sweetness was just that much more enhanced due to this disability.
While she could not make the typical foods to keep a Hold up and running, she excelled at making desserts. From pastries to pudding, her hands are unusually gifted in this area. Or perhaps it’s simply because her taste buds are working normally in this area. Typically in charge of making the delicacies to end meals with, her job is more of a pleasure then tiresome, but it is a silently known fact around the kitchen that Aoide would never achieve a higher rank as a cook then assistant, as she cannot complete the most important part of being a cook.
Her mother, Lire raised her daughter by herself, as the man that she thought was the love of her life had left before her mother had awoken the night she gave herself to him finally. She had resisted for so long, she had had waited until he had said those special words to her. And when she had finally trusted him, he had up and left.
In short, Aoide knows next to nothing about this mysterious man that should’ve been a big part of her life. She grew up with some innocent jeers from her peers about being an unwanted child. Of course they were simply repeating what the adults had been muttering behind her back, but this did not stop the alienation Aoide felt from these children.
It was on a routine Search, that Aoide was picked up along with a few other Holders from ~~~~ Hold, by a cheerful rider and his Blue. There was great fuss, for all the chosen Candidates as families and friends swarmed around to give their congratulations and give gifts of departure. Lire had hurriedly shoved a packet of clothing and necessaries into her daughter’s arms with a tearful smile, radiating pride and regret alike.
