Lycette Fillia-Ombre Spoiler: Art Basic Information Full Name: Lycette Fillia-Ombre Age: 22 Gender: Female Race: Ailor - Ithanian Main Ambition: To spread, preach and gain credibility for her sect of Unionism throughout Regalia, and eventually, Aloria. Special Permission: Expert in School of Music, Discipline of Vocal Music. Basic Information Expansion Spoiler: Basic Info Expansion Position - Lycette is mostly found in her cousin’s shadow. Olivia is the one who owns the titles, and is therefore the recognisable one, so it’s most likely that Lycette is simply ‘one of the Ombre’s’ rather than being known as an individual. She has only been there a few months, and arrived because she wanted to pursue something other than just singing, which she’d have been forced to do if she stayed at the Capella di Cristallo. Upbringing - Born to a Reverend and his mardy wife, Lycette was raised in Ithania. She was an only child, which she guesses is due to the fact that her mother soon realised she despised children, and didn’t want any more after the first. She didn’t see much of her other family members, due to them living in a different place, she was simply aware Olivia was an Imperial Dame. Secondary Ambition - Lycette wants her voice to be heard and her dancing to be seen. To create enjoyment for others from her arts would mean the world to her.

Weapon of Choice: Words Visual Information (Expansion) Spoiler: Visual Info Expansion Facial features - Lycette has a beautiful bone structure in her face; her cheekbones are high, her face is heart shaped and her jawline is sharp. She owns a pair of almond-shaped cerulean eyes, and her brown brow is always neatly plucked into a delicate arch. Her neutral face would be considered inviting, as her pretty, innocent face makes her approachable. Her lips are full and shapely, with a deep cupid’s bow and her nose is dainty. Her hair is often kept tied up in a bow that matches her eyes, but she allows a few strands to fall down upon her forehead, and against the sides of her face. If you look closely enough, you’ll see her darkened roots, as her natural hair colour is brown, but she’s dyed it a platinum blonde colour. Body - In comparison to others, Lycette is quite a petite woman when it comes to her height. She’s naturally curvy, but tries her best to accentuate this fact by eating very little, and wearing corsets to stop her from eating any more than she physically can, as her stomach is restricted when she performs this practise. Her muscles are mainly focused on her legs, as she exercises them the most, using them for her dancing and therefore strengthening them. Her arms, on the other hand, are incredibly thin, and show little to no fat or muscle mass. Fashion - Loving to wear dresses and bows, and very girly things is Lycette’s style. She wears them in her house colours, only in softer, pastel colours as she finds they suit her better than the darker, bolder colours. She often switches up her silver jewellery, owning a wide range of ornate necklaces, earrings and bracelets that she’s bought or been bought over the years. In regards to shoes, she loves to wear flats and pumps, especially with embroidered patterns on them, as she finds them comfortable yet charming at the same time. Voice - Owning an angelic voice has always been one of Lycette’s favourite things about herself. She’s incredibly well spoken, and has a twang of Ithanian in her voice, which she was encouraged to keep as best she could because, paired with her regular voice, it sounds beautiful. Her tone always matches what she says: she sounds interested when she asks questions, she sounds sorrowful when talking about bad news, she sounds giggly as she’s making a joke. Her voice is the key to her success. Personality and Abilities Upon first meeting Lycette, her grace and grandeur would be almost immediately evident. Her meek temperament only highlights her politeness, as being a Crystal Maiden required her to have only the highest standard of etiquette. Her impression on others is almost always a good one, especially since it’s hard to forget her undeniably exceptional composure and a permanent charming mien. Also, it’s easy to recognise how pious she is. She is incessantly devout to her religion, as would be expected, which would no doubt spark admiration in fellow believers. She aims to play peacekeeper a lot of the time, hating conflict, but, despite her diplomacy, she finds people in Regalia are too stubborn to listen to her most of the time. Mostly, Lycette focuses on trying to be humble in regards to her talents, and doesn’t appreciate anyone being over-affectionate since she’ll never fully accept their compliments. After growing up around only the finest women and singers, a lot of the times she’s felt as if she’s not good enough, or that she’d never be as good as them, leaving her very insecure for the most part. She also insists on finishing everything as best she can, as the perfectionist she is, a trait inspired by her ever disapproving mother. She’ll often unquestioningly obey authorities, or anyone she believes has authority over her, because this obedience was drilled into her at the Capella Di Cristallo and is certain it’s the right thing to do in any situation. Her innocence is more well known by those who are close to her, having been taught to be as pure as possible by the other Crystal Maidens. Her loved ones know that she doesn’t like talking about anything vulgar, and will never be caught doing such. This also reflects when it comes to lovers, as she’s very frigid, and would most likely be considered a prude. However, the more time you spend with Lycette, the more you realise she’s a genuinely good-natured person, who tries her best to get on with others. Something she only shows to her friends (only very close, trusted ones at that), however, is how judgemental she is. She expects everyone to act with class and have spotless manners, but when it isn’t the case, she very subtly shows her distaste. Usually, she’ll tell her friends what she thinks about others behind their backs, which could lead any strangers who overheard to find her two-faced, but she expects her friends to know better. Lycette would be considered Lawful Good/Neutral and for her to be any other way, she believes would be an insult to those around her and more importantly, the Spirit. She believes almost everyone is valuable, however could never see herself breaking a law or going against any type of authority. Laws are put there for a reason, and she intends to abide by them. She’s also incredibly just, and frowns on corruption heavily, and is never found speaking about anything that may be deemed inappropriate or amoral. She doesn’t enjoy holding a grudge, and tries to be forgiving, but repeated evil, even after repenting their sins, is something that she cannot forgive, and therefore she finds these people sickening. Despite her recent switch of faith, she still places religion at the forefront of her life. Almost everything she does now is in favour of her work: to aid the Princessity of Priscelle in expansion and integrity. Due to her recent promotion, to sin would enormously impact her, and she’d be immediately found begging for forgiveness after such. Although, being elected as a Cleric, she's found herself not believing she is even able to sin anymore. If she believes she's being insulted, she will automatically assume that they have no place in society and are barbarians, therefore leading her to develop a grand distaste for said person. Talents Soprano - A natural talent, or what some might consider a gift, is her voice. It’s heavenly and was her ticket into the Crystal Maidens. She’s extremely melodic and her great singing voice could probably be detected by most through merely her normally talking, since she sounds so pleasant. This is a talent that she’s practised and practised for most of her life, and has consumed a lot of hours. She sings in more than one language too, as not every song is going to be written in common, and also because some songs simply sound better in other languages from around Aloria. More often than not, she’s able to soothe children with her voice, putting them to sleep easily, although she hasn’t really tested this on anyone other than that. Linguist - Currently, Lycette would be considered fluent in both Common and d’Ithanie, having been brought up speaking both the languages. During her time at the Capella di Cristallo, she learnt all the Unionism creeds in Proto-Regalian and can thus translate many of the words from that language too, however this tends to be solely the words found in the Holy Creeds. She has recently began learning Alt-Regalian, but has only dabbled in such, since she’ll find speaking the tongue of those who share space with her to be beneficial. Ballet - At one of her performances, it was there she witnessed one of the most beautiful images she’d ever seen before. Ladies seemingly floating across the stage, as elegant as any of the Maidens around her, with smiles upon their faces and extravagant outfits, they really were a sight to behold. It was then that she decided that she wished to be like them, and picked up ballet dancing. She hasn’t been focused on this for as long, but she wishes to pursue it further, hoping to get it to a level that rivals her singing. Weaknesses Pacifist - No matter what happens to Lycette physically, she will not retaliate. Violence upsets her deeply, and she does her best to prevent it at any costs, but the consequence of actually getting hurt results in an inconceivable feeling of hopelessness and dejection for her. It will always provoke tears, possible sobbing, and she’d immediately leave, providing she was able to. She finds barbarity unjustifiable, no matter the explanation, and it is one of the only things she looks down upon.Sometimes, she even feels genuinely nauseous at the thought or sight of certain levels of brutality. Anorexia - After struggling with the constant feeling of being not good enough, this also applied to her looks. Even with a pretty face, she was certain it was never enough, and instead resorted to starving herself and depriving herself of certain foods. Her naturally wide hips kept her figure fine, but her bones are visible in certain places like her spine, her arms and her ribs. To keep her tiny waist, she evens waist trains with teensy corsets on occasion- mostly when she feels she’s gotten ‘too big’. Whilst it doesn’t affect her dancing, as she’s found it easier to lift her own weight when she’s so light, it does affect her strength overall. She can support her own weight fine, but would struggle to support anyone else's, or even anything that weighed slightly more than her. This also leads to her getting dizzy spells, from time to time; a lightheadedness that she’ll suppress by drinking water or having something small that she can get away with without having to worry about it affecting her waistline. She’s, as a result, pretty puny. Perfectionist - If Lycette starts something, it will get done, and to the highest standard she possibly can. Whether it’s: explaining something to someone, a song, a dance routine, she feels that if she doesn’t perfect it, it was a complete waste of time for her to do. This can take her a long while to do even the simplest of things, and if she struggles with something, it’s immensely infuriating for her, despite the fact she isn’t often easily annoyed. Being genuinely angry is rare for her, and the flustered feeling she gets when she’s going wrong only worsens her mood. This would probably considered mild OCD these days, but mental health isn’t cared for enough for her to be identified as such. Also, as she gets more frustrated, the thing becomes harder to complete, essentially making her own life more difficult. Personality and Abilities Expansion Spoiler: Quirks Quirk - When singing, Lycette gets twitches in her fingers. She’s still unsure of whether it’s a time keeping thing or simply something that happens when she’s worried someone is going to think she’s not any good. Spoiler: Likes and Dislikes Likes Dancing - Lycette is in love with dancing, specifically ballet. She’s often prancing around when no one else is about, and adores the chances she gets to practise her field. Singing - Not only singing when she was told to, Lycette has found herself just absent mindedly doing it. The main reason she even got a Tutor to help with her singing was because she found it fun to do, she also just happened to have natural talent too. Alone time - As someone who appreciates her friends, she’s also spent a lot of time in very quiet, isolated environments. This means that coming to the bustling city of Regalia, it ignited her admiration for being alone more since being out for too long when you’re not used to it can be incredibly draining. Dislikes Blasphemy - Any sacrilege against the Spirit greatly distresses Lycette. As she puts religion at the head of her life, it’s just not something she’s comfortable with, and more often than not, she’ll cut contact with whoever it is that is committing the heresy. Cussing - Foul language is not tolerated in Lycette’s presence. She takes great distaste in having the words fall upon her ears, as she considers them filthy, and not something she should have to endure if she doesn’t want to. Cymbals - Possibly the most obnoxious musical instrument, Lycette despises the symbols. They’re loud and can hold little to no rhythm, and really don’t have a purpose other than to aid children in being more annoying than they already are. Relationships Spoiler: Relationships Patricia Fillia - NPC - Lycette never had a close relationship with her mother. Rather, if you asked her, she’d probably say her mother pushed her too hard and too much. The way she was treated left her feeling she was never quite good enough for even her own family, which is a highly traumatic feeling to have to deal with, and impacted her life heavily. Life Story Early Childhood - Birth to Five. Lycette Fillia-Ombre was born to Patricia Fillia and Enzo Fillia on the 3rd of October 283 AC, in a sizeable house in South Eastern, Ithania. This is a time of her life that she rarely thinks of (or even remembers), but what she does know is that she was being taught manners and words in both Common and Ithanian as early as her parents could manage. At this time, she was a big fan of repeating everything she heard, as children do, which was both a good thing, but also a considerably bad thing. Childhood - Six to Thirteen. With her tendency to repeat things, naturally, she picked up songs. This sparked a chain reaction, and suddenly all she wanted to do was sing, then her mother realised it was a great way to keep her busy, and thus a singing tutor was hired for Lycette. It was around this time where she was really thrust down a path of immaculate behaviour and manners, being constantly reminded of how she should act, according to her mother and her tutor. She was to only speak when spoken to, use forks from the outside inwards, and many other common etiquette rules. She was expected to be perfect, and anything less was forbidden, as she was often reminded and chastised for such. Teens - Fourteen to Seventeen. Her father, who she rarely had a chance to bond with over her childhood years, was a Reverend, and this resulted in her being swept away to the Crystal Maidens as early as possible, as per a recommendation from him. She learnt social rules here that she’d never even touched before, and she realised she was nowhere near the level those at home had made her out to be, as she deemed everyone at the Capella Di Cristallo far better than her. During these years, she attended many performances and practised vocals with fellow Maidens religiously. Her life was consumed with singing and studying language, many different languages, in order to be able to sing any of the songs assigned to her and utter pleasantries in the more commonly spoken languages. It was at seventeen when she attended her first concert to be accompanied by the art of ballet, and it was here where she began to question the route she had been “encouraged” to pursue, and from that night on, she added a little more into her daily routine: practising to become a ballerina. Young Adulthood - Eighteen to Present. She had gone her whole life seldom interacting with males, aside from polite exchanges when she was taken from the Capella di Cristallo to appear, which is why she failed to have any sort of meaningful relationship with a man. During her time at the Capella di Cristallo, she'd received a few letters from her Cleric Aunt, encouraging her to convert to Priscelle Unionism and join her in Ithania as an Acolyte. Whilst she liked the idea of further involving herself in her faith, she was uncertain about changing her beliefs and subsequently put off the transition. She had grown tired of the tedious routine, and with the doubt she’d developed in her singing career, she wished for a change. It was a few years later, when she heard of one of her cousins recently taking land in the Avull Islands that she decided to pen a letter, requesting that she was retrieved from the Capella di Cristallo and be taken to somewhere else -- somewhere more urban and public; ergo, she landed in Regalia. Once arriving in Regalia, at the age of 21, she started acquiring more letters, again urging her to return to Ithania to practise and pursue the Princessity of Priscelle. Her short-lived arrival in Regalia was swiftly swept away as she made up her mind: the Imperial Spirit could, in fact, reside in all members of the Imperial Family, and thus she left for Priscelle. The process was quick to teach the well-informed Lycette how to be a successful Acolyte, working under her Aunt's wing. It took her a year to finally become a Cleric, but with how new the sect of Unionism was, they were eager to have a loyal Crystal Maiden join their ranks and had confidence in Lycette to do the Princessity of Priscelle proud. It was after her promotion she departed once more, back to Regalia, in the hopes of spreading the messaging and solidifying the credibility of the sect.
Yes, a week, I hadn't had a chance to get to this so you have my sincerest apologies. Review My sole request is that you age up the character two years. This is only due to the fact that they would be going through puberty during their training in Vocal Music. While it is not to a high degree, there is some vocal change that women face as they experience puberty which may offer some rethinking on how she can control her voice. You may contest this if you like Make the above change or challenge my assessment, tag myself once completed. @Erzly
Change your Main Ambition to reflect this change in character For the Fourth paragraph of the Personality and Abilities section include this change of religious discipline, how does it differ from previous inclinations of Unionism? Tag myself once completed @Erzly
