General Information

Name: Eudoxia
Gender: Female
Age || Birthday: 21, her birthday being on January the First
Race: Mortal
Location: Often in the Palace or the Temple
Trade/Occupation: While she is oldest child of the Laconian Royal Family, Eudoxia has been a priestess at the temple of Hera since she was sixteen years old, and has only recently been promoted to the head priestess of that particular temple. She rarely spends time at the palace for the most part, as she is too busy caring for the temple, but she is as much a princess as any of her siblings: she just seperates herself from the palace and has formed her own life outside of royalty; she always believed the concept of having more then another was given to those to give to those with little. Thus why she works at the temple.

Appearance

General Appearance:

Eudoxia usually cuts her hair very simply, her blonde hair reaching the bottom of her cheek bones, a gentle curl presents itszelf in the hair. It has no signs of anything special being done to it, as she is a fairly simple type of person; but she does put a bit of effort into making it look presentable: she works as a priestess and being in the spotlight, as both a princess and the head priestess, means she is to look presentable as much as possible.

Her eyes are a deep blue, and her entire body has an innocent and dainty look about it, for she is no warrior woman or anything. She has always been a fan of a simple but attractive look in her casual dress, usually a dress that ends just below the knee with a plain color, usually with a light shade. She believes it brings out her naturally slim figure, unfortunately not as shapely or toned as she would like it to be, while still not drawing too much attention to herself.

Weapons: She owns a bow, as well as a jewel encrusted dagger she got for her eighteenth birthday. The bow is only used for archery, which is a hobby of hers, and the dagger is very small and kept under her clothing occasionally, though she usually forgets it, she is rarely too concerned for her safety.
Items/Personal Belongings/Ownings: She has a small, very obedient, bengal cat that she bought from a merchant, which is orange and black striped. Eudoxia calls her Pip. Otherwise, her belongings are very limited in her residence at the temple, however in her chambers in the castle she has almost anything you could imagine.

Personality

General Personality:

Eudoxia tends to act a lot more innocent then she is, generally being very submissive and quiet until she sees the need to speak. In reality, when it comes down to it, she is quite manipulative in a different way to most people, in that she makes it out to look like the other person is calling all the shots, but finding her own way to get what she wants. Unfortunately, this comes with being a princess. She grew up having almost anything she wanted at the snap of her fingers, so she got used to getting what she wanted and, unfortunately, she couldn't quite let it go.

Eudoxia is known as one of the kindest people you could know, despite being a bit manipulative. She is always giving people things, rather then taking things. Although she occasionally is overcome by material wants, she is more interested in giving other people their wants. It may seem like a contradiction, but the only thing she likes more then recieving is giving. While she is usually quiet, this does not in the slightest mean she is shy, on the contrary, she could start a conversation with anyone she wanted at any point in time.

Her greatest love is being spoilt; she often considers even little things, like an apple from a farmer when she helps with prayers or a thanks for any service, like being spoilt. She is generally very easy going, but if there is one thing she hates more then anything else, it's being patronised, even though she is fairly physically weak she prefers to ask for help then it being offered to her.

Hobbies: She loves archery.
Quirks: She often blanks out into thought. This generally only happens if she really isn't interested in what someone is saying.

Fighting

Favourite Weapon: She likes to use a bow, but it isn't very practical to carry. She likes her pocket dagger, hilt embedded with jewels, that she got for her eighteenth birthday.
Weapon Skills: The only weapon she has any official training with is a bow.
Strengths in Fighting: She has no particular strengths, she isn't much of a fighter.
Weaknesses in Fighting: Inexperience. Unless she is fighting from a distance with a bow, she will almost certainly lose. She is weak, frail and overall inexperienced, so any kind of combat is not up her alley.
Special Abilities: She was taught to ride a horse, but she is a terrible multitasker; she couldn't do anything else apart from riding one. No archery or fighting on horseback for her.

Background

Born Eudoxia Athene of the Laconian royal family, the first born child of the king and queen in Athens; Eudoxia's birth was a very anticipated one. Only for one reason really, everyone had expected her to be the male heir that would become king. Alas, when she was born female, there was a small amount of disappointed added to the normally cheery birth of a member of the royal family. Regardless, she was treated like a princess for the first two years of her life, during which time she was an only child. When Alexander was born, she became the oldest of two, and was often expected to look after herself a lot more then before, while her brother was lavished with preparations to become the next king.

Despite her brother getting most of the attention in the palace, Eudoxia certainly survived; ordering servants around since her first words. Although she had never really had a great desire to rule, Eudoxia always seemed to be jealous of Alexander, as he had been gifted with things she thought should've been hers, being the first born child. Eventually, however, Eudoxia got around all this jealousy, and it disappeared as if it had never been there. She had grown up in such a perfect environment, and until she was at least fourteen she hadn't really gone anywhere that her parents would deem unfit for her to go to.

That was until she went with a few of her friends to a fairly bohemian section of town, where struggling artists and starving musicians were suffering, when she realised that not everyone had the gifts she had by birth. While her brother was training quite heavily to become king, and her sisters and other brother were beginning to leave childhood, Eudoxia decided upon her new course of life. Instead of sitting above her people in the palace, she would live among them as a priestess in the temple of Hera.

Her biggest turning point in life was the day that she was selected to be the head priestess of the temple, when she turned 20 years old. This came about when one of her closest friends, as well as the old head priestess of the temple of Hera, was cursed by Artemis with a disease that would surely put her to her death. Unfortunately, even the best healers could not do a thing about her condition. Though Eudoxia, nor any other priestess knew why the god who ruled over disease would do such a thing to one of the most loyal followers of the gods, upon her deathbed the head priestess gave Eudoxia the role, and ever since that day, she felt the greatest duty to fulfill the dying wishes of one of her closest friends.

Roleplay example

This is on a Twilight site, by one of my werewolf characters:
Quote:
 
Elena lowered her body into the warm, bubbling water of the hot tubs, feeling her body temperature lower aqnd the water around her boiling hot body heat up. Not by too much, mind, but enough that she could be both warm enough to be relaxed and comfortable, but cool enough to feel out of her normal hot skin. It was the best of both worlds really, since the part she disliked most of being a werewolf was the hot body all the time. Before the whole chain reaction thing, Elena had always felt extremely cold in her own skin. It may have just been a habit that remained, but Elena had always loved the hottubs... even as a baby.

She had been working for a good portion of the day, massaging other people's back pains, and her back was quite sore from seeing her hands get to work on other people's. It was incredibly frustrating to know that her greatest skill couldn't help herself. Still, the hot water stretched out her muscles, as well as her bones, and she felt quite refreshed.

The bubbling hot water soaked into her purple streaked hair, she could feel it become limp around her shoulders. It was slightly frustrating for the hair she often spent a lot of time fixing so it wasn't limp could all be undone in a few seconds. Not surprisingly, however, Elena wasn't bothered in the slightest by this. Even though it was crowded and voices chattered around her, she was alone in her thoughts; for the moment.

That's a lovely profile ^_^. It's nice to see the royal family becoming bigger. So you are accepted. I hope you have loads of fun RP'ing. And don't forget to contact your other 'siblings' to work out a bit more what their relationships are etc :p.

See you around!
