She has a slim waist, with a soft hourglass figure. In no way muscular nor boney, Siena has a good amount of body fat on her. She wears loose-fitting dresses in her family colours. Usually with one or more necklaces. She usually has more expensive jewelry on her, though she despises heavy clothing and accessories. She can speak: Common, Dressolini A thick dressolini accent filled with a very common "Ah" and the occasional "Eh", Siena's common is very broken, not really pronouncing the "H" in anything. Personality and Abilities Personality Towards Others Siena is a caring person, usually a lively and energetic tone. She is also very loud, making her thoughts and actions known to those around her. Those just meeting her would note how energetic and open she is, not shying away from people or activities. She is a very boisterous person, which is obvious in the way she talks and acts. Overall, Siena is lighthearted and empathetic, caring deeply for others and their well being. She is always looking forwards and tends to be more open towards strangers, taking on friends easily and is open to anyone humanum, showing obvious distaste towards the other Alorian races. On the Inside She is quite self-conscious, always checking her appearance and her manners in public as to keep a good image. Siena also is very passionate about any and all she does, aspiring to be apart of something greater one day to make herself and her family proud. While also trying to be greater than her current self, Siena is very stuck in the way she thinks as she is extremely stubborn. As a whole, Siena cares deeply about others opinions of her, and also of how she holds herself and her views. Towards Friends and Family her true boyish nature comes out as she struggles with surviving the patronization and teasing from her many brothers. She is often more rough around her siblings, while trying to earn the respect from her father that her brothers have earned. As with the rest of her siblings she is always trying to become the 'favorite child'. This causes a bit of a conflict in family gatherings, each child attempting to out-do the others on a regular basis. Siena is also very protective of her family. With her friends, however, Siena is relaxed and comfortable, though not to the point of yelling and arguing with them as with her siblings. She tends to be more of a follower, tagging along friends and widening her social circles through them as opposed to going out and about on her own. She is a strong believer of impressions, and thinks that meeting through a mutual friend is the best way. Morals are very important to Siena, as she is a pure soul with good intentions. She values faith, loyalty, and hard workers highly, as she believes it's the only way to make a proper living and impression on others. She dislikes those who cheat their way into things, as others who deserve what they have through their hard work are the only ones to be praised. Siena also loves the idea of men fighting the battles for their country, and the women staying back and handling the internal affairs. Talents Strong Speaker - Siena tries her hardest to get her points across, even turning into quite the silvertongue she can turn even the worst points in an argument into something to sway the conversation in her favour just by her wording. The way she speaks usually makes things sound better, or worse, than they actually are, Siena using this to her advantage when trying to sway the moods of others. Intelligent - With a lifetime of schooling under her belt, Siena is very quick-witted and uses this quite frequently in everyday life. Her knowledge stemming from her in-depth education starting from an early age is proven to be vast compared to others under the same tutor, as she shows to be a very fast learner and a speed-reader at that. It's easy for Siena to learn most basic things (that do not require training) faster than her peerage, but not vastly so. She keeps the knowledge for whenever it's useful, and tends to learn for the occasion. Nimble - Her small stature, little knowledge in fencing and some running around with her siblings have made Siena quite the nimble woman. This helps out with dancing and her stature, as her posture is also quite good because of it. Siena is also mildly agile due to this, as her size and speed allows her to be. Cellist - From a young age Siena was trained to be skilled with the cello. She has performed in a few local orchestras and has become quite talented over the years. Her talent stems from a private tutor she has as a child, spending long days and nights to perfect her talent and turning it into quite the entertaining hobby. She still plays currently, though she is looking for a new orchestra to join and perform in. Weaknesses Excessive - Siena is often a tad too much, being quite loud and also very headstrong, she finds herself being outcasted socially due to this and comments about her annoyance are sure to spread. Most notably, Siena is often involved in a bit too much, finding herself in over her own head at times. In a way, she is kind of childish with her lack of a filter, or limit. Weak Lungs - Stemming from her teenage years, Siena found herself addicted to opium and to an extent, tabacca. Due to her frequent smoking habits, her lungs have weakened to the point where any extensive exercise or even short bursts of energy will leave her incredibly winded. Also, this prevents her from doing any intensive sports or activities as she will have a very hard time breathing after only a short while of activity, and after prolonged activity she can and will faint. Unrefined - While never having a proper teacher for her fencing, Siena goes untrained in her favorite hobby, thus lowering her skill and also making herself a bit of a danger to herself. While she did also study meticulously as a child and a young woman, she never quite paid attention as much as she should’ve, and now has trouble remembering parts of her schooling. Siena also has never had any proper fighting training with a spadi, only really able to use it in casual activities, she is unable to actually wield it as a proper weapon. Personality and Abilities Expansion Spoiler: Personality Info Siena has a very thick Dressolini accent, and speaks in broken common at times. Her vocabulary is mainly filled with many "Ah" and "Eh" sounds. Siena also plays with her hair a lot, mainly to check on it's look, and other times for nervousness. Siena has a knack for archery after trying it at an event, planning on furthering her skills with it in the future.

Zaan Haaven, someone Siena looks up to, hopefully taking her under his wing in learning medicine and alchemy. He's the main reason she joined the Society of Natural Preservation. @Optimalfriskies "Probably one of my favorite people to talk to. 'e's nice, for a frostling." Darius Silveon, a good friend of Siena, she is always wanting to fix his foul moods. @Vivamente "Klaus is a sweet'eart. A bit awkward, but it's cute" Klaus Ravenstad, Siena's newest interest and possible courtship. The two get along with peas and carrots, probably her best match yet. @Empaul "Say one more t'ing about mi fore'ead I swear to teh spirit" Gaspar dei Orazio, Siena's overly protective older brother. She loves him with all her heart, but their constant bickering isn't her favorite thing. @HobblingHobbit "Mi Padre isn't t'eh nicest person, but 'e only wants t'eh best" Giovanni dei Orazio, Siena's father and patriarch. They aren't very close, but she still respects him and loves him unconditionally. @Kihle "T'eh smart one in our family, t'ough he isn't t'eh most skilled" Valentino dei Orazio, her half brother, isn't as close to her as the others despite the trio of siblings constantly hanging around eachother. @WildRoze "Mi favorite cousin! She's a wonder, t'at Isa" Isabella dei Orazio, Siena's closest cousin. They talk whenever they meet, and she admires her creativity. They talk about family and relationships sometimes. Ya'know, girl things. @deadfoe51 "T'at one drow is a pretty nice guy, for a drow" Veridan Daevaar, a friend Siena can sometimes be seen hanging around. Not incredibly close, but she can usually hold a conversation with him. @Jouster "I'm about to stab you wit' a fork" Valbrand Haagenvig, Siena's first real crush, that ended horribly. They now sort of resent eachother, but tolerate one-another in public. @Swashbuckling "T'at one is Val's brot'er, right? The fat one?" Hjalmar Haagenvig, her sort-of friend and mainly the one she get's Val's dirty little secrets from. She's usually the butt of some teasing, but she never takes any real offense from it. @littleshep101 "You know, Nort'erne, young, t'eh one everyone thinks is annoying?" Skald Valdemar, the one friend she really doesn't talk to all that much. He seems a bit grouchy, though. More to come! Life Story Birth and Early Childhood In the Tureno region of Montania, September 2nd the year 283 A.C., the first and only daughter to Carlotta and Cosimo dei Orazio is born: Siena Carlotta Vincenza dei Orazio. She has one brother three years her senior, Gaspar, And a half brother named Valentino, six years older than herself. Siena is often babied and paraded around for the majority of her childhood, as most daughters are. Three years after her birth, she is greeted with a pair of twin brothers. After the twins are born, Siena is placed into the care of a nanny, being raised like that for her early life though also being shown off by her mother in particular. Understandably, her time with both her parents was limited due to her amount of siblings, all close in age. Adolescence Siena’s schooling starts at the age of ten, though shows issues retaining the information for long periods of time. She excels otherwise, moving along fast. As a young child Siena is thrust into learning a stringed instrument. She is taught by a private tutor within her home and she began to take a liking to the cello. After joining a childrens orchestra Siena's interest in her art grew. At the age of thirteen she begins fencing training with her brothers, though never formally attends classes. She simply takes shorthanded lessons from her siblings. At the age of seventeen Siena’s schooling is for the most part finished. A couple of years prior, Siena found herself recreationally using, and eventually becoming addicted to the use of tabacca and opium. Her interest in the cello was at an all time high, in her free time Siena learned and perfomed many songs with a higher class orchestra and worked her way up to one of the best in Tureno. Her life as a cellist got her noticed by many, as music had a large influence on her daily life. Siena also gained and lost many a suitors, even going as far as to meet men on her public outings, though she never went as far as even holding their hand. Early Adulthood - Present Day By age twenty she chooses to move to Regalia with her brother Gaspar to further her schooling, find a proper fencing teacher of her own, and to simply live closer to her siblings.
Here's my review. Personality Traits: Passionate and distinct accomplish essentially the same thing in regards to roleplay. You should look into changing up how you define distinct, or maybe even change the trait entirely. Additionally, make sure that all of your personality traits meet the 4-5 sentence minimum. Strengths: You put stubborn under personality traits but have a strength that is almost exactly alike, being "strong-willed". I'd like for you to change one or the other, as there's simply no point in having both. I also think it doesn't make much sense for your character's fencing skill to be a strength, provided that they're only the Student level. As such, that will need to be replaced. Weaknesses: I'm not really sure if follower is a weakness. In a way, it somewhat falls under the copout of 'manipulative' in the sense that it won't actually be roleplayed out IG. That leads me to say that I'd like to see it removed and replaced with some sort of physical weakness. Be sure to make down the changes in red and tag me when you're done.
Hey @Valentinian I edited my app some to fit with some family rewrites! I hope this won't mean I have to switch over to the new format? Basically changed the age, adding two years and now making Siena 22 Added another brother, due to family rewrites.
Any changes mean that you'll need to use the new format. Until such a time, this application is under review.
Any update on this? If there's no update by the end of today (this doesn't mean the rewrite needs to be done today), then this will be rejected.
@Valentinian Finally got around to updating to the new format (Also sorry, I couldn't help but add in splicers and pics for prettiness, let me know if it gets in the way of what you're gonna do)
Here's my review - Visual Information Just note that Dressolini Fencing is a sport, so for your character's weapon of choice I hope that wasn't meant to be used with the intention of fighting. Personality and Abilities The first paragraph should clarify between how a stranger would perceive her at first and how that differs with someone who would know her better. The second part is a bit more clear, but the former needs to be made much more explicit. A very good application otherwise. Mark the above changes in red and tag me when you're done.
Specified that she is unable to actually fight with a spadi, having no knowledge on real combat at all. Added in more about how strangers view her. Thank you for the compliment, also!
