Personality

What is your character most afraid of? How are they defined by this fear? (100-300 words)

Cecily's greatest fear is twofold: she fears losing her sense of control, and she fears being made useless to her family and her cause. Succinctly, she is afraid of failure.

The most traumatic experience to date for Honesty was the recent incident wherein she was forced to reveal truths under torture and broke under the pressure. Until that point, she had believed herself to be made of tougher materials-- but she had never been tested in quite that way. A calculating individual by nature, with a long honed skill in controlling and manipulating her stage, having everything torn from that control by force and her inner fragility revealed was more terrible than the pain she endured. Scars heal, but being violated in that manner is a trauma that will take time.

The extent of the physical damage is surface level. None of the wounds were so deep that they couldn't be treated with patience and time. The emotional damage, however, has reaches that she hasn't even fully plumbed yet. Honesty is guilt ridden and jumpy, uncertain of her worth to her people, and she chooses to cover that by digging her heels down into her dramatics and her theatrics.

No one is more wary of the truth than Honesty herself is, and she is painfully aware of this fact.


What is your character's greatest desire? How are they defined by this desire? (100-300 words)

Honesty feels most relaxed and herself when she's relaxing in a quiet tea house, not when she's on stage. While she's a skilled actor and theater professional, she prefers the simple hospitality of getting to know someone so well that you always keep some of their preferred drink on hand-- be it coffee, tea, or even hot cocoa. She lives by the creed that no one will ever understand each other until they share a meal together-- the intimacy of the act of sharing food, preparing tea, and telling stories are what reminds her of the beautiful little things in life.

As much as she is willing and able to be the glittering star on the stage, she that isn't something she would choose for herself. The small acts that illuminate another person's spirit are what helps her feel alive.

How will not having memories change your character? What core personality traits, if any, will change? How? (200-300 words)

Divorced from her memories, Cecily is-- for the first time in her life, untethered. due to the circumstances of her lineage and birth, she has always known herself to be a part of something greater. As a Tiefling, she is a very visible reminder of the pact her ancestors made in order to help their community survive in a time of political upheaval. So much in her life has been predetermined for her, from her role has heir to the Greywind name to the generations old curse to bring about the destruction of everything she cares about should someone in her family forget the promise that was made.

This is a rare opportunity for her to find out who she is without the constraints and responsibilities that she has carried unknowingly for all of her life.
