Personality:

| optimistic | kind | playful | prejudiced | gullible | ignorant |

A [somewhat] young elf whose family has served the church for many generations in Delverne. Like many who grow up there, she was raised to be generous, kind, and to value religion and tradition above all else. Though not unintelligent, she could be described as a simple girl, preferring to spend her time playing or spreading Aurea's love  while remaining [for the most part] blissfully ignorant of the ongoings of [human] conflict and politics. Though usually unintentional, she can come off as spoiled/privileged much to the annoyance of others. For the most part she is kind, though her kindness is partially fueled though her own selfishness and motivations...

Quite extroverted, she is not the type to shy away from conversation, in fact, many times she'll be the one initiating it. She enjoys meeting people which goes well with her wanderlust. 

Though delicate in appearance [and health], she is by no means, a pushover. Those who meet her will be surprised to find an energetic headstrong girl who likes to take action and worry about the consequences later rather than the meek virginal maiden she often gives the impression of being. Unfortunately, this means she has a tendency of biting off more than she can chew or brushing off issues that should be addressed due to a blind reliance on 'faith'. 

Her upbringing does make her view elves as slightly superior to humans [it doesn't help that she is also of nobility]. While not hateful of dark elves, she still holds a strong prejudice over them and fears them to a certain degree [despite never meeting one], she does believe they can be "saved". In a way she may come off as a bit too devout/brainwashed of the church's teachings, making it difficult for her to see things from another perspective. 

tldr: Just a normal elf girl who acts in a manner expected of those in Delverne. Totally lacking in kickassery 

Likes:
┼ Good food and drink are one of the worldly pleasures she regularly indulges in. She's particularly fond of wines and, well-- just expensive food in general. [Though this often makes her self-conscious weight gain so she makes sure to exercise plenty ]
┼ Children and animals. She enjoys playing with them; she is particularly fond of canine-like creatures. 

Dislikes:
┼ Restrictive clothing
┼ The sight of others in pain, being ill, and bloodshed make her feel faint.
┼ Not very fond of seafood; pungent fish smells make her gag

History: 

Early Years
Having the luxury and status of nobility bestowed upon her at birth and citizenship to a city where most never feel a need to venture beyond its protective walls, Bianca was born into the trappings of an ideal life. However, she was not blessed with good health and lived many of her early years bed-ridden or behind closed doors. Even as a child to a family of high standing, her existence remained relatively unknown to most or easily forgotten. Though the exact details of her illness are unknown, every doctor/healer had stated the same thing-- that at most, she'd be able live a quarter of the normal lifespan of her kind--if she was lucky. 

She didn't have the luxury of making friends with anyone other than her servants and even those were probably moreso out of obligation than true emotional connections. As the years passed she decided to make an effort to spend more time with the church.  It was difficult at first, but the people she grew to knew were accepting and kind.

...And over time, she got better, at least to be able to live a bit more normally. Though the cause is still unclear how her health improved, whether it simply be due to growing older or all in her mind due to having a new-found purpose-- she strongly believes it to be the work of Aurea. Because of this she believes that as long as she devotes her life to Aurea, the Goddess in turn will continue to subside the effects of her illness. 

For the next twenty or so years, she became highly involved with the church and even [in an ironic twist] discovered her innate ability to use healing magic. Though unable to rid herself of her own symptoms, she found the ability to help others fulfilling and decided that it was a sign of what Aurea meant for her to do with her life. When she was not with the church, she devoted a lot of her time to learning and practicing healing. 

Present Years
After many years in Delverne, she began to feel restless. Perhaps it was due to being cooped up for many of her early years or simply a need for change of scenery [despite her love for her home], but she eventually decided to leave Delverne. Not permanently, but for long months-at-a-time missionary trips. She didn't know how much time she had left, but if she was on limited time she wanted to do make as many precious memories as possible.

Additional info: 
┼ Has great admiration for Dominus Salvai, holds his words in highest esteem and nothing would make her happier than earning his praise.
┼ She is interested in membership with the guild "Circle of Wreath" and hopes to be an active member in the future in order to help others as well as further her healing knowledge/ability. 
┼ She prefers wearing fresh flowers over perfumes. One of the first things she makes a habit of doing when visiting a city to to seek out a flower vendor.  
┼ Her illness still persists but the symptoms only appear occasionally or when she overexerts herself. Stress and fatigue are often triggers for a sudden collapse. 
┼ Her mother supposedly had a similar illness and died shortly after childbirth due to the labor being to strenuous on her body.
┼ In her early years, she invented a secret language to keep herself from getting bored. It's similar to a 'code' language usually used between children to whisper secrets. Other than her servants knowing a few key words, she's the only one who can speak/write it so it's useless to use to communicate with others. Still, she will sometimes use it in a playful manner when teasing someone.
┼ If she's traveling she'd be dressed a lot more plainly like this  and not like how she dresses on her cs.
┼ If any of you are familiar with my OC "Dog" -- it's the same character...! 

Relationships:

Lord Dokeîn'Ma - father. Though she loves her father, they don't speak much. Their relationship could best be described as acquaintances tied through blood.

Lady Dokeîn'Ma - stepmother. She gets along well-enough with her though the closer age gap makes her view her stepmother as a sisterly figure.

Saul - TBA [ character belongs to Rubisu ]

RP Preference: Highly prefer chat [or more 'active'] settings but gdocs/forum is fine as well. I prefer not to use notes just because I've noticed I'm a lot slower at replying/checking them.</sub>
