Appearance & Voice

In Talorian standards of beauty, Roxanne may fit well into the crowd. She is a pale mare whose colors fade to brown around her legs and muzzle. Her tail and mane, grown long over the years, is trimmed to keep them from dragging onto the ground and pulled back often times or tied up while she is at work with a patient. Her bangs, however, are constantly in the way. They slip out of any pins she puts in her hair and fall over her light purple eyes, usually divided by one of her two horns of Kunzite.

Shell & coral jewelry, a veil she was gifted as an engagement present from Othello, gifts from the Divine before the city fell to shambles: a small prayer idol of the goddess Cascade strung on a necklace with pearls and a pale, purple shawl with which to protect herself from the sun and bugs in Aquore
Weapon : None
Scars/Injuries : N/A
Voice : Eréndira Ibarra (Daniela Velázquez from Sense8)



Personality

[ Diligent | Reliable | Warmhearted ] [ Placid | Security loving ] [ Inflexible | Jealous | Resentful ]

Diligent

(Adjective) “having or showing care and conscientiousness in one's work or duties”
Not any slacker, Rox puts time into her work as a cleric. Whatever time is not spent devoted to her family and friends, as she believes upholding healthy relationships with those close to her, is spent somewhere either healing someone of their injuries or in the Temple. She is hardworking, busy with her duties whatever they might be. Not to say that she doesn’t love her job as a cleric. That would be far from the truth. She throws herself into her work only because she loves it, wanting to heal others and make her herd a better place.

Reliable
(Adjective) “consistently good in quality or performance”
Roxanne, as a cleric, can always be counted on to do her job. She is punctual to appointments and makes sure to, otherwise, get to a patient as quickly as she can regardless of where they live either in or out of the city of Inaria. As a friend, she tries her best to be someone worthy of trust. She keeps others’ secrets locked as tightly as her own, only ever spilling confidentiality if she fears for someone’s life or the life of others should they become outwardly destructive.  

Warmhearted
(Adjective) “(of a person or their actions) sympathetic and kind”
From a young age, Rox was a caring child. She was brought up to respect others and, when someone was hurt, to be there for them and bandage their wounds. Her mother was a cleric among the Divine’s many and she guided her girls into the profession. If they strayed, she at least taught them to be considerate of others. The family in the Alouette’s household is compassionate, though their soft hearts should not be mistaken for weak.

Placid
(Adjective) “(of a person or animal) not easily upset or excited”
Growing up, especially while training to become a cleric as her mother, she had learned to control her outward emotions. If she was to be a cleric one day, Roxanne had been gently reminded that she had to have a calming presence about her for others. She could not afford to get upset, angry, or too excited. A cleric was soft spoken, comforting as a mare should be. She didn’t always agree with these teaching, not caring for being quiet and unable to speak her mind, but she did learn that a relaxed horse was less to be poked at and tried. Who wanted to mess with someone who simply did not give them the satisfaction of a reaction? She would walk away from confrontations smiling, knowing that she had won simply because she had never let anyone get to her.

Security Loving
“(of a person or animal) not liking of change, preferring everything to remain safe”
There were a couple things in Roxanne’s childhood that has made the mare into who she is today. With every new child born into the home, things changed. Rox, at a young age, did not like change. She wished for everything to remain the same and, as she grew older, the old desire never wavered. In her job as a cleric now, she feels secure. There would never be a need for her to change ranks or for her to leave Aquore at all in her belief. When there is change, there is stress. The cleric does not handle stress very well, pacing in the home she bought in Inaria to be close to the temple should the Divine ever need her services. While on the outside around other she remains with nothing but a cool head, on the inside sometimes she is freaking out and will do so once along to her own devices.

Inflexible
(Adjective) “unwilling to change or compromise”
Roxanne, for everything she is, is also stubborn. In her practices, she will only follow what she knows best and has learned either through being taught or read about. There are no experiments, no listening to suggestions regardless of how helpful they can be. She refuses to move once she has made a decision, thinking that she knows best.

Jealous
(Adjective) “feeling or showing envy of someone or their achievements and advantages”
It started out as a seed planted when she was no longer the youngest child. As the baby of the family, Rox had gotten everything. Every kiss, every hug, every nuzzle and other sign of affection. She’d gotten the coos and awes, yet that had changed when she’d become one of the middle children. With every new child, she got placed further and further in the middle. The Alouette siblings were never forgotten by their parents, no, but it was frustrating with so many other children in the large house to get the attention they wanted when others were running around. Roxanne finds it difficult to accept when others have favorites that are not her, feelings as if she is not good enough to be loved as wholeheartedly as she tries to love others.

Resentful 
(Adjective) “feeling or expressing bitterness or indignation at having been treated unfairly”
Where she is supportive, loving of others, Rox should never be taken as frail. The whole family shouldn’t, in fact, though Roxanne’s bite is perhaps worse than some of her siblings’ barks. She is bitter towards those that do her or those she cares about wrong, flattening her ears should they ever approach her again in the streets and snapping at them remarks for what they did. She does not do kind to being treated as if she is less, that cleric. 



History

[ Pre-Group History ]
Foalhood : 
Roxanne was born into a quite large home within the city of Inaria. Her father, a wealthy guardian whose parents had passed down to him a home they had left in favor of the peaceful outer villages when they grew too old to keep up with the hustle and bustle of the city, and her mother had lived there for years. A year after their beautiful marriage, the family began to have bouncing baby foals in their life. First were her older brothers, then her older sisters, and finally her. She was the baby of the family, coddled and spoiled with whatever she could have wished for as a filly who loved to play with her older siblings and follow them in their various activities. 

She was, along with her siblings, taught to be good citizens of Talori and kind to the other horses in their herd. They were educated, bathed, and brought to the Temple to pray to the goddess Cascade. She was brought up to be a perfect daughter, one who did not understand when her mother was again pregnant and another foal was born into the family. Had she been replaced? She was confused, upset at her parents for setting her aside for someone new. It happened over, and over, again. In her home, she felt invisible. It was a passing phase, she would come to realize later, nothing more than a child’s insecurities. 

Despite being one of many middle children, Rox loved her siblings all the same. The younger ones, though they brought up feelings of wanting to be cooed and awed over as she once had been, received the same amount of affection from her as her older siblings. Their family wasn’t perfect, perhaps a bit too large and chaotic at times, but she loved it.

Adolescence :
The girls in the family, where the boys were urged to follow professions such as guardians or agriculturists, were encouraged to follow their mother into being a cleric. If not that, as some of her sisters simply did not do well in training to heal others either physically or emotionally, then becoming a craftsmen was also viewed as a fine job to go into. Members of the family before had created beautiful works of art with their necklaces or fabrics and, while such lovely objects caught the eye of young Roxanne, she fell in love with helping others.

Adulthood :
She trained under her mother and those like her, graduating into becoming a cleric of her own who moved out of her crowded home to a smaller house elsewhere in the city where she could see the ocean from her balcony and windows. The Temple and Cascade’s Grotto became places of daily visits and the beaches were where she went to on days off from caring for those that came in sick or injured if she did not go to them instead. Life was peaceful, perfect, until the riots followed the winter solstice and it had seemed everything changed. Aquore, once a place of safety that she had adored, became a place of fear.

Roxanne had tried to hold her head above the water, comforted only by a guardian by the name of Othello her mother had arranged for her to marry that had brought her peace and a friend to turn to. She began working with a cleric named Yvaine who held meetings to help those impacted by the tragic events, wanting to console others as she had been. These meetings continued alone on her part when, months later, the Flock attacked yet another sacrifice. They had been a volunteer, a stallion who had loved their nation, and had filled so many hearts with pride and hope. They, the winged ones from the sky, then ruined everything once he had fallen to the sea’s embrace. Their lives had begun to go back to normal again, those even sent to Torrine for their safety returning to rejoice with the herd and attend a celebration to honor their goddess Cascade, and they had destroyed it all.

Rox had choked on smoke, her lungs begging for a breath of fresh air, and her hooves had fallen down upon the ground everyone else had run on. All that had mattered to her, all that she’d cared about, was that her loved ones were safe. Her parents and siblings were in perfect condition, if not a little bruised or scratched, and her friends were alive. She had breathed a sigh of relief before tending to those that had been hurt in the panic and fights, worried for her herd and what was to come if the demons from the sky did not stop at just bombing the city they had called home.
