*Let me know if this is okay. :wink: *

Name: Ariane Eliopolis
Race: Gorgon. Those she meets eyes with turn to stone. Every night when the sun goes down, her hair turns to snakes whose hissing can drive anyone who listens mad.
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Occupation: Princess of Zenais, a southern water kingdom in southern Arcanavale. She is second to the crown, her older brother is Crown Prince.
Affiliation: Neutral, though she will eventually involve herself in one or the other.
Appearance: All of her features seem to be entirely drained of colour. Her eyes are an eerie off-white ringed with black containing small pin-pricks of black around the iris. Her skin is almost paper-white, including her lips. Her features are delicate and pointed. She is tall and thin and some say that she looks like a broken doll. Many people never see her though, her own father never saw her until her eighth birthday. This is because her mother covered her from head to toe in flowing silver lace, leaving her face and hair obscured. This is how she dresses now and it has left her with the nickname of "Phantom Princess."
History: When she was born, she was cursed by a Goddess for an unknown reason and transformed into her current Gorgon state. Her parents locked her in a separate wing of the castle where she lives surrounded by servants and soldiers that she has turned to stone. Her parents keep her condition a safely guarded secret and tell the public that she is suffering from a disease. She sneaks out at night and wanders the streets looking for something that could change her back into a human. For this reason, she has learned the art of Transfiguration Mana, a dark branch of Mana that has hidden consequences.
Personality: She is soft-spoken, wistful and bleak. She speaks in a whisper. She is very intelligent as she has had much time to think in isolation. She is stubborn and steadfast, willing to sacrifice much for what she believes in. She is loyal and, innately kind, though she prefers to present herself as cold and stoic.
Other: Up for love. When she speaks to others she uses the Majestic Plural, a type of speaking used by Royalty in which they refer to themselves not as "I," but as "we."

@thebookworm

Yes, totally. Would you like to be a centaur allied to the Mana Shadows, the good guy's guild (that's not the actual name :D ) or just neutral?
In any case, centaurs are (as you know) half-man, half-horse. In my SB, they have their own territory (sort of a civilized Stonehenge) at the edges of the continent. They can move inhumanly fast (warping time and space) if they need to, and some are skilled in earth and combat magic.

@Forever Threnody.

Just to be a stickler, it's Arcanavale. I apologize if I wasn't clear.
And yes, that's fine. It's interesting that a member of royalty would be a gorgon (or are all her relatives gorgons?). Apart from the turn-to-stone skill, gorgons also have prolonged life and can learn forms of magic. Their snakes also form an independent personality.

I'm never what I like
I'm double sided
And I just can't hide
I kind of like it
When I make you cry
'Cause I'm twisted up, twisted up

ItalianIllusionist: Thanks for letting me know! And, I mentioned in the history that she was cursed at birth by a Goddess turning her into a Gorgon. Perhaps rereading that section would help it make more sense. :wink:

I only know that learning to believe in the power of my own words has been the most freeing experience of my life. It has brought me the most light. And isn't that what a poem is? A lantern glowing in the dark.
