[19]
Status: (finished)
The Basics...
Name:River Jackson
Age:19
Gender:Female
Race: Daughter of Eve and half elf
Occupation: Slave (she’s fallen on bad terms)
The Look...
Clothing Style:How can one explain the clothes of a slave without making you want to look away in disgust? It very much depends on the day in which you encounter this woman. One day she may be wearing extravagant slave clothes and accompanying her lord and lady to dinner parties where she is to dote on their every will or perform for them and their Wandererss. Other days she could be in ripped tatters that make up a poor excuse for clothing, never waring anything bright. If she’s lucky and you find her on a normal day she will be wearing just a simple brown dress.
Overall Appearance:
|| In my eyes ||
River has sorrowful eyes; mostly brown they seem to just fade away at times as she prefers not to be seen or see the world around her. She has very deep thoughts and if you look carefully you can see that her eyes portray most of her feelings in them, it is hard to hide her feelings from people if they knew where to look.
|| Skin like Snow ||
River's body isn't exactly something to be desired. She has a small frame, small bust and slender legs yet there is just something about her. Her skin is pale like snow and as smooth as silk, there is an air about her that just defines her beauty as unique and compelling, it is this very thing that tends to get her into trouble with the opposite sex.
Markings:20 lashes of the whip on her back

The Personality...
Personality: River is quite a shy person; she doesn't like to socialise all that much which works well for her situation. She mainly is someone who does what she's told yet finds the time to sneak books from the library, walk in the gardens when no ones looking and in her own small ways imagine that she is free.
Though she is a slave girl and is quite submissive she has got a free spirit that sometimes shows itself, making her quite adventurous. River has to hide that she is quite a strong willed person and that she only ever desires her freedom. However here is all she knows and to be honest freedom sometimes scares her.
Strengths:Her Voice, Her unique ability to feel how people feel
Weaknesses: Her Looks (They get her into a lot of trouble), Her unique ability to feel the feelings of others
Likes:Books, the Rain, the Moon, Adventure
Dislikes:Being a slave, her strange ability, being trapped
The Past...
History: River doesn't really remember much about her childhood or much about her up bringing so in order to work out any history for her we must start with her mother. River's mother came to Narnia at the age of 16; she happened to stumble upon it and couldn't quite work out how to get back.
Being quite an adventurous spirit she decided to make the most of where her life had taken her and thus she began to explore the new land. After a year of wandering and making lots of friends the girl found herself falling in love with an elf. Their romance bloomed and life couldn't be any better, they spent every day together and soon they got married and had River.
After this things get patchy and all River really knows is that from a very young age she had become a slave. Apart of her still remembers that feeling of warmth that only a mother could give a child and thus she knows that her mother would have never given her up. This is the one thing that keeps this girl going everyday.
Currently River works for a very wealthy family who don't really treat her all that well and it didn't take them long to realise that River was different. Her owners have had River now since she was 5 and thus have had first hand experience in dealing with her unique ability to feel what others are feeling. At first they put it down to her just being observant and sometimes if they were happy enough they would reward her for knowing just what to say to make them feel better and life for River was pretty sweet. However when River turned 13 and her mistress father died River could feel all the grief around her mistress and her master that she started to cry out in pain. Their grief was like fire for her, she felt all their sad emotions especially the mistress and thus the result was crippling. The mistress, not understanding took this as the greatest insult and punished River for 'pretending' and 'making a mock of her' that she dealt River 20 whip slashes to River's back herself. Though River cried out in pain it was nothing to the sick feeling she felt coming from her mistress, for with every crack of the whip on River's back the mistress felt better. This sickened River to no ends.
After this River stayed to herself, she didn't do anything wrong and if she felt she was going to feel uncontrollable emotions she would try and get as far away from her masters as possible. Still to this day she bares the whiplashes on her back.
Family:River's mother and father are unknown to her as parents, however she did know that her mother was a daughter of eve and her father an elf.

Final Outcome:The King reigns On
