Background

"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

The daughters and sons of Sollinger are said to be born on the sea. Since their early days as a fledgling House, they have been some of the best the Kingdom has to offer by way of shipwrights and captains. Even from a young age, a Sollinger could expect to know their way around a ship. Many, especially of the main line, often found themselves gifted with glorified rafts as soon as they had their legs, taking them to the streams and rivers around their home under supervision.

Character Features

Physical Features

With high, broad cheekbones, this woman appears younger than she actually is. Her features are round, giving her a soft, cherubic appearance. Her eyebrows shape well from the bridge of her nose, in a pleasantly statuesque way. Wide-set, almond shaped eyes are a brassy green hue that shifts towards brown in certain lights and moods. Her lips, full, cast a soft shadow against pixie chin.

She bears a medium build - more slim and athletic than outright strong. Her skin is naturally pale, cream-hued, but often bears a soft bronze hue from life in the south and work out in the sun. Her hair is a warm, nut-brown at the base, left long with natural waves giving texture to the length; the sun giving depth by bleaching honey-wheat hues into the upper layers.

Personality

With a past as full of death and woe as the House she bears the name of, Nimue abandoned her training as a diplomat and negotiator at a young age when her parents were murdered by Corsairs. She became a ranger, scouting for the Kingdom, ensuring none came to a similar fate. She came to love the forests and rivers, finding no risk of loss or disappointment in their company. It was Evander Taniford, cousin to the royal line, who drew her from her shell and gave new meaning to life. The loss of her sister, Helena, is still felt keenly and she has yet to fully come to terms with her title and role as Countess, but she serves her people well and the House and lands have prospered beneath her. She can still be caught gazing into the woods, or leaping to serve upon a ship bearing cargo- not one to sit idly by while others dirty their hands.

Quirks

Music

Jewel - Hands I won't be made useless // I won't be idle with despair // I will gather myself around my faith // For light does the darkness most fear
Bright Eyes - Bowl of Oranges There was a loophole in my dreaming, // so I got out of it. And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open. // Just my nightstand and my dresser where those nightmares had just been. // So I dressed myself and left then, out into the gray streets. // But everything seemed different and completely new to me. // The sky, the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body.
fun. - Some Nights Well, some nights I wish that this all would end // 'Cause I could use some friends for a change. // And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
