polite • reticent • addled

A RATHER DELICATE CREATURE, known primarily for her silence. Has struggled with words since her childhood; finds them jumbled up inside of her head, suffers from a clash of two minds inside of her head, never quite feels like herself. Patient, steady, hardworking. Reticent, struggles to connect with others. Selectively mute. Trapped in a perpetual sense of daydreaming, nothing feels entirely "real," unsure of how to find what she's looking for. Anxious, but distinctly earthy, practical. Trying her best in spite of it all. Loving. Likes to feel included. Persistently focused on being "good," without putting too much thought into what good means. Gentle. Withers in conflict. Considers others her own responsibility.

Carries "Ruta" within her, rarely to emerge from the sharp-edged shards from a lifetime long-gone. More clever and ferocious than she at first lets on, though only when pushed to the brink. Quivering and worn in ways that she does not remember how to put words to; longs for stars that she can no longer see.
