    Personality and Abilities


    Traits

    • Pugnacious - Milahme finds it quite hard to see reason. The smallest of comments will easily send Milahme into an argument, or fight. Milahme is easily turned violent however, as she has matured, this nature has seemed to become easier to control. She does not enjoy being told what to do, and this will also often encourage her to argue. Although it has never been pointed out, Milahme has very much inherited her bad temper from her father, who was also very pugnacious and Cantankerous.

    • Adventurous - Milahme will often take off into the woods alone on long hunting trips, very often to places she has never visited before. Very much linking into her independence, she enjoys the thrill of getting lost in the woods, and having to find her own way. Once more, she enjoys the challenges she faces during these trips. As a child Milahme would often wander off into the woods for hours, her parents often having to go out and look for her.

    • Sadistic - Although she hides it quite well, Milahme secretly enjoys the feeling of inflicting pain upon others, whether it is human, or beast. When she was very young, Milahme used to catch butterflies, and pull the wings from them. It is a well kept secret and always will be. This trait was developed over time, mostly due to her father's beatings. After a while, Milahme enjoyed being the one in the position to inflict pain, not receive it. During her time in the Violet Order (Now the Vigilant Shield) Milahme would often give out rather painful punishments, and sometimes push for execution, even for minor criminals.

    • Loyal - One of her more redeeming characteristics. Milahme will always show the highest form of loyalty to her trusted friends and more importantly, her family. She is willing to put her life on the line for anyone she trusts and even more so to protect her family members. This is a trait that seems to be drummed into the Coen family from being young. The Coen siblings would often band together against their father, sticking together and helping each other through their tough upbringing; this means Milahme and other family members will always back each other, even if they do not share the same opinion, or have had a disagreement.

    • Abrasive - Milahme finds it very hard to show sympathy or empathy for other people. This also causes Milahme to be quite critical at times, upsetting or angering most. Within the Reither Lycée des Calemberg, superiors would not give sympathy for those who could not succeed or complete simple tasks, this method of thinking has rubbed off on Milahme. Once more, her sadistic nature makes it hard for her to be empathetic, especially when she derives pleasure from inflicting pain upon others herself.

    • Independent - Since she could walk Milahme has felt a sense of independence and pride in herself. This has lasted to the present day where she remains entirely confident in her own abilities and actions. However, her independent actions often lead her into trouble, as she is usually reluctant to ask permission from her brother, and acts without him knowing. When she was younger, her mother and siblings would often praise her for her abilities, especially in combat. Such complements fuel Milahme’s confidence and allow her to act efficiently by herself during stressful situations where she needs to make her own decisions.

    • Disorganized - For as long as her family could remember, Milahme has never been able to keep herself organized. Even the simplest of tasks such as writing something down. Milahme is almost always late for any event, unless a family member has reminded her, or practically pushed her out door. As Milahme is almost always making plans for herself, she will either forget she was invited somewhere, or is simply not there when the event was discussed.

    • Introverted - Milahme is naturally shy, and is fuelled by spending as much time alone as possible, rather than spending her time in large groups. Due to this, Milahme is not often seen at large gatherings or parties, unless she is either forced to go, or if the group isn’t too large. This also fuels her to act independently, often taking off alone on small trips without much notice or asking permission first. This trait was most likely strengthened when she was young, as her father would often force her to go to large events and make her stay until the very end.


    Strengths

    • Agile - Milahme’s agility makes her less of a target, and quite the opponent against others who would be rather slow, and heavily armoured. She is quick to nock an arrow after releasing one only seconds beforehand. She is fast on her feet, and well balanced.

    • Strong Willed - Her strong will allows Milahme to get away with much more than she should. If she has an idea, she will stick by it no matter what. It is very hard to get Milahme to change her mind.

    • Fast Problem Solver - Milahme’s ability to solve problems quickly is quite useful when in tight situations. Milahme can find her way out of pressurised situations quickly and efficiently.
    Weakness

    • Introvert - Milahme is an introvert, meaning she’d rather not share her more personal thoughts and feelings with others, but would rather keep them locked up. This causes her to become quite aggressive when asked about her feelings.

    • Short temper - Milahme’s short temper is somewhat of a disadvantage. She is easily angered and quick to argue. This can cause quite a bit of trouble during times where a large scale argument wouldn’t be appropriate, for example, dinners or meetings.

    • Fear of Heights - Although archers are often posted high up, Milahme’s large fear of heights limits her very much. Because of this, Milahme is much better suited as a Jungfrau Pferdejäger rather than an archer at height.
    Likes

    • Archery - Milahme has almost always had a knack for Archery. These skills were improved upon when she joined the Reither Lycée des Calemberg, where she was an Equestrian student, learning how to shoot very precise targets from horseback. She enjoys this very much, and will use this skill in a lot of her hobbies.
    • Hunting - As she grew older, Milahme learned that she could incorporate her sadistic nature, and her skills in shooting from horseback, into hunting. this sparked a lifelong hobby. Milahme often takes herself on trips to more exotic lands to embark on long, solitary hunting trips.

    • Horse Riding - By joining the Reither Lycée des Calemberg, Milahme was taught the art of riding sidesaddle. Before this, Milahme owned her own horse which she would ride often, using this as a means of getting away from others and being alone with her thoughts.

    • Music - One of Milahme’s favourite pass times is to play the piano and sing to the melody, simulating how her mother would sing and play to her when she was a child to comfort her.
    Dislikes

    • Rain - Milahme hates rain. Mostly because it simply creates mud, low temperatures and general misery.

    • Dancing - When it comes to dancing, Milahme seems to have two left feet. The pressure of remembering movements, watching your feet, and being watched doesn’t make it any easier.

    • Wasted time - Milahme is disorganised as it is without people wasting the little time she has, unless it is worth it. Meaningless conversations with meaningless people are hated by Milahme. This is one reason why those who don’t know her strongly dislike her.

    • Heights - When Milahme was young, she decided to climb a tree. A tall tree,simply to show off to others. However, when she found herself at the top, she realised she couldn’t climb back down. After a good hour of being stuck up the tree, William had to climb up and rescue her. Since then, Milahme has had a strong phobia of heights.

    Willard Coen (Father):
    Milahme’s father was a cruel, brute of a man. No matter what anyone says Milahme will never have any respect for him.

    Guinevere Coen (Mother):
    Milahme loves her mother, however she does her best to avoid her. As a child, Guinevere would usually be beaten for protecting Milahme, which is why she believes keeping away from her is the best way of protecting her.

    William Coen (@BillyTheScroofy):
    William and Milahme have stuck together through thick and thin. The two are very close, although they argue 90% of the time, and Milahme almost never does as she is told, she will always have the upmost respect for him.

    Alistair Coen (@Woodwork):
    “How is the physique?” is the usual conversation starter between these two, although no one really knows why. It is likely an inside joke the two came across as children. Either way, Alistair and Milahme get along very well, and can easily make each other smile.

    Warren Coen (@Brycea111):
    Although Warren and Milahme were close as children, as time went by the two began to grow apart, mostly due to her absence throughout her teen years.

    Dianne Black (@darkarely ley):
    Bumblebee, as Milahme now calls her. Although she won't admit it, Milahme low key feels guilty for missing Dianne’s wedding AND the birth of her children. Milahme is very proud of the advances Dianne has made in life, and is happy that she has finally found a man who treats her right, and isn’t bald, old, or both.

    Rosalina Coen (@Lumiess ):
    Milahme holds a special place in her heart for her Niece. Although she doesn’t like to pick favourites… Rose is her favourite. Milahme sees a small piece of herself in Rose and believe it or not, that makes her happy.

    Aethelred Coen (@Doc_Cantank ):
    Milahme enjoys the company of her Uncle Aethelred however, she is unsure of his opinion on her, often thinking he is disappointed in her “Unwomanly” behaviour. Although she does not blame him for this opinion, being a highly religious man and all.

    Jehenna Coen (@baellaa ):
    Milahme sees Jehenna as a strong woman and protective mother… the perfect match for William. Milahme trusts Jen and would honestly follow into battle as she has done before.

    Randulf Coen (@DelugeHawk):
    Randulf is a curious young man, and Milahme thoroughly enjoys teasing him. Randulf is scared of her and she knows it, using this to her full advantage. Although, she hopes he learns how to talk to her correctly soon, before he finds himself in a ditch under a headstone.

    Tristan Lampero (@SupremeCripple):
    Tristan is Milahme’s brother by law, and although the two fight constantly, it's all just fun… mostly. Milahme would fight for Tristan if and when he needed it, often treating him with the same amount of respect as any other family member.


    Life Story

    Childhood

    Milahme was born on the 25th of March 270 Ac, to Willard and Guinevere Coen. The birth lasted about 12 hours and, although it was painful and somewhat problematic, The healthy, first daughter was born. Although Guinevere was quite pleased of the arrival of her first daughter, Willard was rather disappointed. Since her birth Willard saw Milahme as an object to sell to the man with the best price rather than his own flesh and blood. Throughout her childhood, she was blessed with three younger siblings whom she adored for their individuality, and grew up with.

    Milahme never focused on her studies, being bored by them and constantly day dreaming of a more exciting lifestyle. Although she was taught from a young age that she would marry a wealthy man and gift him with children, she never agreed with it. Milahme thought the idea of bringing up children and getting married to be tedious, and something that would hold her back, unlike her sister Dianne, who always adored the idea.

    As a child Milahme suffered much abuse from her father, mostly in front of William, who was punished by being forced to watch the brutal attacks, Milahme resented her father and tried many a time to avoid him, often leading her into more beatings. If William tried to stick up to him, he would also end up being beaten. However William did offer her some form of protection from her father for a short while.

    Teenage Years

    For many years Milahme had been the biggest pain in the neck Willard had ever encountered. Her mother managed to keep him at bay for as long as possible however, it was not to last. Since becoming a teenager all Milahme wanted to do was ride and shoot. She was quite talented when it came to archery and even more so in horseriding, often stealing a bow and a few arrows from the armory and taking herself on mini hunting trips. She was always caught by a guard or people who knew the family, and would be sent to her father for beatings. Eventually, Willard broke and decided it was time to get rid of her through marriage, to which her mother didn’t agree. Milahme was only 14 at the time, and Guinevere did not approve of her being married so young. After much debate, her mother finally convinced Willard to send Milahme to a small academy in the north of Calemberg known as Reither Lycée des Calemberg.

    To Guinevere, it was the perfect place for her daughter, as it was an equestrian based school which would accept women, and teach them the art of Sarmaten, the ability to shoot precise targets from horseback, seated side saddle in order for a better range, whereas to Willard, he mostly hoped she would fall from her horse during training, and not get up. Either way, she would be out of his life for at least four years.

    As soon as she was able, Milahme was shipped off to Calemberg in order to join the academy. This caused a large amount of tension between the Coen family and their trading partners. A large proportion of families refused to trade with the family, as they did not agree with a woman being sent to learn in such an academy.

    Young Adulthood - Adulthood

    Throughout her time at the Academy, Milahme was permitted to return home each year in the month of august. However, Milahme never felt as though she would be welcome, so instead would either stay at the academy or, if invited, return with a companion. Once she became 18, Milahme had finally graduated the Academy, and was awarded a position in the Jungfrau Pferdejäger unit of the army.

    A few years later, after Milahme returned, the family had to pay the price for her schooling. After so long, the family was forced to marry Dianne to a wealthy man who was willing to pay a large amount for the dowery. This would bring the family back onto its feet financially, however Milahme felt rather guilty. After a short while Dianne’s new husband passed due to unknown circumstances and she returned home.

    Eventually, the siblings decided to split from their parents and make their way to Regalia. William managed to secure some alliances with other nobles such as Tristan Lampero, allowing the siblings to get by. Willard died whilst the siblings were in Regalia, and William took over as patriarch, finally things were looking up within the family. Milahme recieved a position within the Violet Order as Captain for a short while, before women were excluded from the guard. Later she then fought alongside her brother during the Battle of the Curag Fields.

    Present day

    Recently, Milahme lead a large group of women, alongside Jehenna Lampero, Luna Levine, and Ania Santorski against the Usurper Andrieu Anahera, in order to retrieve the state councilors. After that, Milahme left the city for at most a year to spend time away from regalian politics, and has only recently returned.

    @Adventurecait8
    Hey, Cait! Gonna start off by saying you have a very well put together application. You especially excelled in Milahme's life story! We'll see you approved in no time.

    A quick note: It seems you have some extra spaces between each bullet point. I would close those up to keep your application nice and tidy.
    While I don't think Milahme is a pudgy girl, I do think that anything below 160 for a tall fighter character is unrealistic. I think around 160 would be perfect for Milahme, due to her height and presumed muscle mass from pulling a bow and otherwise exercising.
    Overall, I feel like Milahme's personality traits are not fleshed out enough for me to analyze them for a deeper meaning of her character. I'll try my best for now, but please be sure to expand on each of these into a full paragraph that accurately depicts how the trait influences her behavior, how it developed, how it interacts with her other personality traits, and maybe one example of how it affected her overall life. This seems like a lot, but when you are thinking about the deeper meaning of Milahme's personality, it will always sort of flow from one part to the next.
    I would argue that being maternal requires a person to be, or implies that a person is, very caring, nurturing, and compassionate. There is no such thing as a maternal sadist, I am sorry to say, though the thought makes me chuckle. I would eliminate the sadistic trait altogether and find something more suitable.
    Admirable is not an applicable personality trait. Being admired relies on other people, or in this case, other characters, to think highly of your character. It is therefore a minor form of powergaming to arbitrarily say in a character concept that your character is admirable, and assume that other characters that you do not control admire yours. To some people, she may be incredibly attractive, while on the other hand, other people might think her butt ugly. It is a matter of opinion that doesn't accurately describe your character.

    When creating a character, here are a few easy questions that can help build up a solid personality that I always ask myself:
    • Is your character Arrogant or Humble?
    • Is your character Introverted or Extroverted?
    • Is your character Patient or Brash?
    • Is your character Cunning or Straightforward?
    • Is your character Wroth or Calm?
    • Is your character Brave or Craven?
    • Is your character a Leader or a Follower?
    • Is your character Difficult or Easy to impress?
    • Is your character a Hard Worker or a Slacker?
    • Is your character Content or Discontent with their current situation?
    These few questions are an easy starting point. Once you have these, you can embellish on them, and implement other traits that add onto them. By no means is what you have now, "bad," but I do feel that you could tie your character's traits together more by asking yourself some of these questions.
    If Milahme is strong willed and determined, why not include this above in the personality? Same with being Introverted. If she is shy and insecure, then wouldn't you think it'd be an important detail to include in your personality?
    Unfortunately, cockiness is not an adequate weakness. This is very seldom Roleplayed out, and serves no point other than a thing to be written down. How about you look into a physical weakness that impairs Milahme's ability to fight? Sure, she might be a good archer, but what about her physical frame? She might like to fight, but she probably is easily susceptible to the whims of her brother William, who might not want her to fight, due to his bigger frame. This is something that I feel would affect Milahme on a day to day basis as she struggles to find acceptance and approval as a girl who wants to fight among a family who wants her to stay in her place.

    This seems like it would be perfect to write into Milahme's weaknesses.

    That is all the edits I can ask for right now. For now, please add the suggestions I requested, and then mark the edits in blue text so I can easily find them. This was a fun character to read over! Tag me when you are ready for a re-review.
