!!!Backstory

Sen was born as the eighth child, with four brothers and three sisters before her. As the newest of so many children, Sen was given all of what little attention her parents had to give her. She lived for five whole years as the new cute baby, before the birth of her little sister, Wren. When Wren was born Sen became one of the older children, her parents focused the attention back on the new baby. At first Sen was very happy and loved her baby sister, but soon she realized that she was no longer the baby. She no longer was the center of attention. Sen became jealous and whiny, and acted out to try and get more attention. This of course didn’t work, and Sen’s mother grew tired of her child’s antics. She finally decided she had had enough, and handed the girl a tray with a handle with fruit piled up on it, and sent the girl out to work. Sen hated walking around and selling the fruit, she pouted and sold it for very little and sometimes didn’t bother trying to sell it at all.

Soon the girl came to love her new freedom; she would wander the whole city all day, and bask in the attention she received from the buyers of her fruit. For a while she was very happy earning money and enjoying herself away from home. She even grew less jealous of wren again, and tried to play with her a lot.

Sen had always been very close to her older brother, Jodri. He had been the youngest, at two years old, before Sen had come along, and he had loved her right away. The boy was always trying to protect her; he sometimes went with her and followed her when she left to sell fruit. He would spend the day with her and defend her, even pick fights with anyone who bullied her. Sen, of course, usually wound up finishing her brother’s fights for him, but she made sure to thank him for being her protector. When Sen was eight and her brother was ten, he went on his first hunting trip. This hunting trip was to celebrate his new ability to do magic. He left smiling and waving, and came home bleeding in his father’s arms. While Jodri was preying on another animal, a large cat jumped down from the trees and landed on him, biting his shoulder and breaking his ribs. Sen took one look at him and went numb. She ran and hid, crying and praying that the healers would be able to save her brother. They tried their best, but it was already too late. Sen fell apart and shut herself up in her home, refusing to leave for months.

She had felt alone and ignored after the birth of Wren, and she had felt that Jodri had understood that, he had been the youngest when Sen was born. He had always been there to make her feel better when she felt that her parents were too busy to notice her, and now he was gone.

Eventually she was able to leave her home and started wandering the city and selling fruit again, trying to help earn money for her large family.

!!!Personality

Because of her parents having hard jobs and having to spend so much time away from home they focused all of their attention on the newest baby. Sen felt ignored after the birth of her baby sister, and tried to get more attention from her parents. She felt her brother was the only one who could understand her because she had taken his youngest title from him, just as Wren took it from her. She had grown very close to him, and his death left a big mark on her. She used to laugh and tell jokes and never stopped talking, whereas now she hardly speaks and rarely even smiles. She has a hard time making friends because she doesn’t try to speak to anyone unless they speak to her first. If she does make a friend she becomes extremely loyal to them. She will fight for them and do everything in her power to avoid hurting them, and even risk her life to protect them from anything dangerous. She becomes almost another person around good friends; she is her old self again. She cracks jokes and laughs till she turns blue. But around those she doesn’t know well she is her usual self.

She has gotten into many fights and never turns down a wrestling challenge. Her brother loved to wrestle and duel with other people, and she does it so often both to prove her toughness to the boys, and to keep Jodri’s memory alive. She tries to take on only the toughest looking opponents, usually anyone bigger or older than her.

She loves sweets, and often eats her homemade cakes before she gets the chance to sell them. She also whittles, and whistles. Not many have seen her whittling or heard her whistling though; she likes to be out of sight when she does this.

!!!Physical Description

Sen stands at a thin, lanky, four foot eight inches. Her large feet hint at her one day growing much taller. She has a round jaw with a slightly less round chin. Her cheekbones are high and her nose is small and round. She has slightly almond shaped but round eyes, colored bright green with yellow specks, and framed with thick dark lashes. Her upper lip is much thinner than her full lower lip, and her light olive skin is covered in freckles. Her hair is a thick sea of very straight, very dark brown, waist length hair. When cut any shorter than just below her chin her hair becomes extremely poofy, wild, and untamable. The longer it is, the better it behaves.

She sticks to simple clothing; Her dress is a knee length triangle shaped skirt with a V-neck and tiny sleeves, a wide sash wraps around her stomach and holds the dress tight. She will wear just about any color, but her current dress is a dark purplish brown. She doesn’t often wear shoes, and when she does they are basically boot like slippers with drawstrings to tighten around her legs. She wears many piercings in her ears, and plans to get more.

The girl is always covered in paint; her brother painted his body and face in order to confuse his opponents when he wrestled them, and was wearing paint on the day he died. Sen Paints her forehead and jaw, and around her eyes. She has bands painted on her arms and legs, and her hands and feet are painted as well. She does this to honor her brother, and others in her family do the same. She makes the paint herself from flowers and anything else she can get a hold of, and her favorite color of paint is a golden yellow. The paint also acts as a temporary dye, so even after she washes it off it still looks like she is wearing it.

The girl also wears many different kinds and colors of bracelets; her wrists are full of them! Some are just strings and others and beaded, and she even has a few bangles made from different metals. Rumor has it she will trade a fruit or cake for bracelets...
