[ ROXANNE CARAWAY ]
[Twenty One]
Status: Original
[Twenty One]
Status: Original
The Basics...
Name: Roxanne Elizabeth Caraway
Age: Twenty One
Gender: Female
Race: Grrr... we don't have too many humanoids. I'm gonna say elf for now, but I'd rather have something original. Jinx? Or whatever Jadis was maybe?
Occupation: Duchess of Beruna
The Look...
Clothing Style: Roxanne is a duchess, and thereby grew up with fashionable clothing taste. She knows how to dress to impress, and it is rare you will find her in any form of pants or breeches. She favors large jewelry and has expensive taste in such accessories, but you can rest assured she always looks good. Her favorite colors are pastel hues of green, gold, and purple.
Overall Appearance: Roxanne isn't conventionally pretty. She was blessed with a rather nice body, flat stomach, an okay chest and what not, but her face never quite matched the rest of her. She hates her eyes- a dark shade of brown, and she is very cautious about the way she looks. Her lips are small and thin, and her hair tends to be flat and impossible to work with. The dark brown hair only curls, never straightens or waves. That isn't to say she looks like a troll, far from. Roxie just suffers from the typical woman-syndrome of never being good enough in her own eyes. Stands small at 5 foot 4 inches. She's a shrimp.
Markings: No tattoos, no piercings. There is a tiny nick of a scar on the bottom of her foot from when she stepped on a piece of glass as a child, but it's hardly noticeable. She does have a small red birthmark just above her right hip.

The Personality...
Personality: From her birth, Roxie was a difficult child. She insisted on being called Anne when she was young, and once everyone started that up it became Roxie, and from there Roxanne. She knows what she wants, and goes for it. Roxie doesn't give a hoot or a holler if you like her or not, and she dresses to impress herself and no one else. She has a hard outer layer that has driven away some suitors, but intrigues others. When Roxanne dates, she makes the gentlemen chase her. If they don't surprise her with flowers or make their dates entertaining, she loses interest.
Beneath that, however, is a very soft inner layer that few people get to see. She may appear quirky and confident and outgoing on the outside, but inside she is very sweet and loyal. Once you break through her hard, catch-me-if-you-can, she is a good person. Roxanne may not seem like she cares about anyone but herself, but she keeps her cards and consequentially herself close to her chest. She doesn't easily open up, and sharing her thoughts comes hard to her.

The Past...
History: Roxanne's childhood was filled with indulgence. Her parents granted her every whim and wish. She got her first pony at three, and sold it at four because she couldn't ride it on her own. At five she was given her first archery set, and promptly stabbed herself with the end of an arrow. She has learned money buys everything, and therefore likes money. A lot.
Roxanne's mother died when she was 10, and then her father passed away when she was 16. She basically grew up a Duchess, and had to learn the lay of the land at a young age. She never really excepted to take the title, but as her parent's only child, she was the only heir to their name and their fortune. Roxanne was raised by governesses and never really saw much of her father. Her mother participated in a series of affairs, which is why Roxanne has a hard time with men and requires that they chase her.
As a young woman she began her first flirtations with young men. The longest relationship was two weeks and that was because the young caller was gone for a week in the middle to visit a relative. Few people have cracked her hard shell, leaving her with few friends and a series of servants who dislike her immensely.
