Basic Information Fiora Caterina Cerdici is a 20 year old female Dressolini Ailor Family: Mother: Riguardatta Cerdici Father: Lorenzo Cerdici Sister: Francesca Cerdici Born: Fiora Cerdici was born in her family's barony of Cascina, this is located in the Duchy of Alanna and one of the greater baronies of the duchy. Fiora resides in a lovely Ithanie District house that is finely decorated with many expensive furnishings from back home. Fiora Cerdici's life goal is to become a huge influence in Ailor fashion and Regalian politics. Fiora believes this can be done through gaining favor and respect amoungst the people of Regalia, if they respect and like her they will respect and like what she does with fashion. Visual Information Body Description Fiora is a beautiful young woman with a 'filled in' body. She has an hourglass figure, but maintains a toned stomach. She sports long legs that are toned as well. Fiora's features could be described as sharp and edgy with defined features. Fiora Cerdici is right handed, but she has good control over her left side as well. Fiora sports an olive tanned skin color. This is due to her Dressolini descent, her skin is pretty much without imperfections except a few dark freckles on her arms. Fiora has a full head of hair that can often become too much to handle. She will wear it in a bun or pulled back to keep all the hair out of her face. The rest of Fiora's body is pretty much hairless, but her arms and legs do need a fair amount of grooming to maintain hair free. Head Description This is an example of what her facial features would look like (and yes, this is Lana Del Rey). Fiora's eye color is a dark green, and has natural dark eyelashes. Her resting face expression would most likely appear like she was oblivious to what is happening around her. Fiora has dark raven-black colored hair. It is very thick and comes down to her lower back. Other than having a lot of hair on her head, Fiora keeps the rest if her body as hairless as possible. She feels that too much hair is unattractive to men and feels weird. Clothing and Accessories Most of Fiora's dresses are made from silk and other expensive materials. She wears her family colors, being red and green. Gold is an essential element in her outfits and she will always have gold detailing on her dresses. Fiora Cerdici loves wearing head accessories; things to hold back her hair and other decorative things can often be found on her head. She also loves wearing fur, she likes the way it makes her feel luxurious and how warm they are. Behavior Information Personality Traits Judgemental: Fiora feels as if she is allowed to judge whoever and whatever she wants, she feels she is a good enough person that she has the right to judge someone else. While she often keeps her judgement to herself, she subconsciously judges everyone. This allows her to come up with conclusions about someone and acting on those conclusions relatively fast. This trait was most likely picked up in Fiora's late teen years when she was getting introduced to running the business, family, and barony. During this time she had to decide who to trust and who to not trust. Polite: Fiora uses words to sweeten what lies behind the idea she wants to get across. No matter what she is trying to convey Fiora will always use some sort of sweet words to follow it up, she feels this is almost necessary. Fiora is naturally nice and polite and even though sometimes she must convey a 'harsh' message she tries to do it in the least offensive way possible. This personality trait was probably picked up/built throughout all of Fiora lifetime. From her young days in the barony, to her academy days, and up until even now. Imperious: This is a dominant trait in Fiora, she must always be in control. This is mainly shown through her relationship with her family members, as matriarch Fiora feels it is her duty to remain dominant. This can often turn into an excessive need to be bossy and in charge. Fiora gained this trait when she was thrust into all the authority that she now holds at a young age. She feels that without her being in control things would be crazy and she will have failed her family. Dedicated: Fiora is dedicated to her job, her company, her family, and her position in the Duchy of Alannia. Fiora puts all her time and attention to these things and whole heartedly does whatever is needed to be done in order for these things to thrive. Fiora views her life worth nothing without her job, family, and position and therefore she is fully dedicated to keeping these three things and making sure that they are kept in good care. Fiora has had dedication to things her whole life; from being dedicated to her garden as a girl, to being dedicated to her school work and now she is dedicated to her family, company, and barony. Pretentious: Politness and pretentious come hand in hand. While Fiora is naturally polite she can also use her sweet and eloquent words to pretend to be nice and on someone's side when really she is opposing them. Fiora always wants to appear favorable even when she disagrees with someone, one could call her 'fake' seeing as she will say most anything just so that people will like her. She can often be pretentious by being overly grand and pompous. This trait was probably gained when in Frederico di Alan's court in Alannia. She had to be pretentious and appear 'respectful' here even if she did not agree with everything. Fair: Even though Fiora judges quite a bit, her judgement when it comes down to what people deserve is fair and for the most part unbiased. Even though some people might rub her the wrong way, Fiora will still judge them fairly and without bias. Fiora is also fair when it comes to treating those of different classes and races the same. Fiora does not look down upon the 'lower' races of beings and rarely will treat the poor folk worse than the wealthy ones, as long as they don't deserve it. Fiora's fairness most likely comes from having to deal with people and problems in her business, family, and barony. She must be fair and just when handling these situations, else she will appear a cruel tyrant. Generous: Fiora was raised in a family where money and influence was never lacking and Fiora's mother often supported many 'charitable' things, such as organizations to help the poor, clinics, orphanages, and other things that help society. This had a big impression on Fiora and now she, herself supports many things that could be considered charities. She is also generous when it comes to payment of employees and clients. She learned this trait from her mother, always watching how generous she was and how she always gave to charities. This trait has developed and grown even more in most recent times when Fiora, herself has donated to several causes. Impatience: Fiora can often fall into being impatient. She gets flustered when things are not done in a quick and efficient way. If someone is taking too long to do something that should not take really any time at all, Fiora will snap at them and often scold them for not going the right pace. Impatience was most likely gained at the academy when the other students often could not keep up with her, seeing as Fiora is rather quick physically and mentally. Likes Fashion is a huge thing that runs Fiora's life. Fiora finds clothing and different outfits can really be important when trying to impress others. Fashion runs her life, she often worries very much about her appearance and she will not go out in public wearing something that people(most likely the other nobility) will look down upon. Writing, Fiora is not the best story teller, but she is very good at keeping things short and simple. Fiora likes to use writing to help give her and her family's opinions on different things that are happening during the recent times a platform so that others can hear what they have to say. (This is subject to change, I am thinking about having Fiora create a little newspaper that offers advertisements, her opinions on current events, and advice to the upper classes of Regalia. But I am not sure if this will be useful, or feasible). Herbology/gardening, Fiora is an admirer of nature. She loves using plants to help heal wounds and rid oneself of certain symptoms. This may be due to the huge gardens of her family's estate, and the even grander gardens of the di Alan family. Fiora would often visit the di Alan estate due to the Cerdici and di Alan families great friendship/history. She treats her plants like true living beings who need love and attention, she does this without being overly strange(she does not talk to them and the such, she just puts a lot of effort into making sure they thrive). Fiora Cerdici enjoys a good walk, although this seems irrelevant and not useful, this activity controls Fiora's life. Although she is not constantly walking, she often will take a walk a day, or perhaps two walks. She feels that taking walks helps her decompose and allow her to thunk about the different things that are happening in her life. Dislikes Fiora Cerdici dislikes competition, whether that's on whose outfit is better or who holds the most sway out of all the barons in the duchy, Fiora just does not like a competition. She does not mind it when she is at the top of the game, but it is when she is not the best she gets upset; because of this fact, Fiora has decided to be against any competition whatsoever. Dislikes anti-feminism, Fiora coming from a matriarchal family herself hates when men make women appear as less capable of something than a man. Fiora Cerdici, and members of the Cerdici family, in general all believe in the equality of men and women, even though they believe men are mainly the stronger(physically) of the two. Fiora dislikes hunting, she hates the fact that humans are killing animals, especially when one hunts just for sport and not for their lively hood. There is one exception when it comes to this dislike of hunting, as long as every piece of the animal is put to good use then Fiora feels that it is justifiable to hunt. This is especially true when a nice pelt can be achieved from a kill. Another dislike of Fiora's is crowds. Fiora would much rather prefer to converse in a private and quite place rather than a loud and crowded place. Crowds just give her anxiety, and they just make her feel like something bad could happen with all these people around. In her mind the only times when bad things happen, such as stealing, riots, etc... are when people are all by themselves or when crowds are around. Abilities and Disabilities Strengths Fiora is very fast, she prides herself on her speed and agility. Although running does not occur often, it is something that she enjoys doing and is good at. She can move around really fast and can jump over things and weave her way past people. Fiora Cerdici has a strong self image. She is not easily put down by others and what they say about her. Fiora is content on who she is as a person and she views herself as a pretty and nice person. Fiora is one who can pick up on things easily. This may be due to her incredible memory, or maybe she has a quick brain. This strength helped her dramatically when she was at school, and it helps her now by observing how the other nobles act. She is very observant as well and will pick up on the do's and dont's of society. Weaknesses While Fiora maintains some muscle, must of it is located on her torso and legs, not so much her arms. In fact, she is fairly weak in her arms; if one were to grab her it would be very hard for her to try to break free by pushing with her arms. This causes her to tend to do things with her legs rather than her arms. Fiora can often be indecisive, this causes her to make decisions at a slower pace than a normal person would. She just cannot decide what she wants for herself, sometimes the problem comes down to Fiora not knowing what she wants or what she thinks would be best for her family. Fiora is not very good at handling weapons, especially bigger bulkier ones. This is due to her lack of strength in her arms and her inability to maneuver one well. Fiora gets impatient easily. She likes things done in a quick and efficient way, she does not have any spare time for random things. This causes her to snap at people occasionally, although this is rare. She is more impatient when it comes to her family members seeing as she is 'in charge' of them. Combat Styles Fiora fights on the defensive side. Her main tactic when she gets caught up in a fight is to disengage as soon as possible. Whether she must end the fight through going all out on the person by just pushing through, or by simply walking away from the 'battle field', Fiora's main goal is just to get through/out of the fight as soon as she possibly can. Weapons of Choice Fiora carries a small knife on her body, but she keeps it well hidden. The only time she would consider using the knife is if she is assaulted by someone else, other than that using her knife is the last resort. Another 'weapon' Fiora uses, and the one she uses the most, is words. She may use words and seduction to get what she desires or to get herself out of a situation that is unpleasant. Or she might use words to offend someone she wants to humiliate. Relationships Francesca Cerdici ( @ChayChay12345 ): Francesca is Fiora's younger sister. The two have a close relationship, but one would not call it an equal one. Fiora, like most of her relationships, is the dominate person between the two. She feels that it is her duty to be the leader and caretaker of her siblings and cousins. Riguardatta Cerdici: Riguardatta is Fiora's mother and idol. Everything Fiora does is modeled after something that her mother has once done or said. Riguardatta is truly Fiora's inspiration and sort of 'outline' of how her life should look like. Lorenzo Cerdici: Lorenzo is Fiora's father, and distant distant cousin, this is due to the inbreeding of distant cousins in the Cerdici family. Lorenzo is not considered her cousin by any means, to Fiora, Lorenzo is strictly her father. Fiora's view of her father is that he is a very loud yet lovable man. Diana Cerdici ( @GeekyChic5000 ): Diana is Fiora's distant cousin who has just recently arrived in Regalia. Victoria Cerdici ( @PandaGirl136 ): Victoria is Fiora's favorite cousin and closest friend, she actually lived with Vicotira and her family for quite some time while she was at school in the Ithanian Realms. Life Story Birth and Early Childhood(283-289 AC): Fiora Cerdici was born in 283 AC at her family's estate in the Barony of Cascina which is located in the Duchy of Alannia. Her entire family was there for her birth, including the family members that normally live in the Ithanian Realms and th Kingdom of Lusits. The Duke's family was also present during her birth, considering the two families have been friends for quite some time. Supposedly when Fiora was born people from all over the duchy sent her flowers and other kinds of exotic plants, Fiora's mother took these plants and planted a garden. This garden is still at the family's estate today and many of the plants within the garden have been raised and cared for by Fiora herself. Fiora's mother Riguardatta and her father Lorenzo both loved her very much and often took time out of their day to spend time playing with her. Although her parents did not really raise her, this was done by her nanny, she saw them pretty often. At the age of three Fiora could walk and talk, she was pretty advanced for her age and she picked up on things very quickly. Schooling(289-299): At the age of six Fiora was sent off to the Ithanian Realms to attend a prestigious academy. While there she stayed with her relatives that ran the Ithanian Cerdici banks. One relative that she was pretty much raised up with during her time attending the academy was her cousin Victoria. Victoria was nearly the same age as herself except a year or so younger. While at school Fiora learned independence and perseverance, she had to constantly adapt to her surroundings by herself while at the academy and this was no easy task. While at the school Fiora excelled above the other students and she knew how much better she was than everyone else, while this could have given her a major ego problem it simply allowed her to feel good about herself. Post schooling to present(299-303): At the age of sixteen Fiora left the academy to come home and learn the 'tricks of the trade' from her mother, Riguardatta. From 299-302, Fiora learned how the banking business worked, how to delegate work, and how to manage a large company. She also learned how to manage the barony, this was no easy task; the people of Cascina demanded the best and there was no room for error. Not only would Fiora inherit the barony and the banks, but ever since Fiora's ancestor, Caterina Cerdici gained the family a barony, the matriarch of the house Cerdici would always act as an advisor to the Duke of Alannia. This meant Fiora had to act with the utmost respect and she had to know what she was doing. In 302 AC, when Fiora was age 19, Riguardatta decided to retire from all the responsibilities she once held; she passed everything down to her heir, being Fiora Cerdici. While her mother still advises the duke and runs things around the barony, it was now up to Fiora to run the family and the banks. Just recently in 302 AC, Fiora and her mother decided it would be wise to setup a bank in Regalia and to hopefully gain some prestige and favor there. Fiora, her sister, and her cousins all arrived in the Holy City together and they all live in their Ithanian district home. Victoria, Fiora's childhood friend and dearest cousin, has just opened up a clinic in the city and just a few days ago, Fiora purchased the place where the Cerdici bank will be located in the city of Regalia.
I hereby claim this character for review! So become influential in fashion and such, but how? Whom does she meet and why? What is she specifically doing every day to better these goals? List what you need to work at every time you log in as her, not for my sake, but so you can get a feel for how to play her, and where her character development is going. Remove the "your body description blah blah blah" things. Pompous and pretensions are basically the same thing, so combine them into one trait, and add a nother negative to balance her personality out. Also add 1-2 sentences to all personalty traits saying how she got these traits, and how they evolve as she does. Add one more personality related weakness, to make it four. Tag me when you're done @2008Ash Application Progress: Under Review!
