Name: Keziah K. BrandAge: 17 [birthday ~ May 12th 1995]
Birthday: May 12, 1995
Gender: F
Status: 4
Occupation: Performer
Appearance: Similar to: http://weheartit.com/entry/24601491
Specific Details Keziah is fairly tall (her legs mostly define her height) -- about 5'7", and is still growing. Her face is in a softly rounded oval shape. The anatomy of her face shape is that her face is slightly longer than it is wide, her forehead and jawline are approximately the same width, her chin is rounded in shape with no hard lines, jawline has a slight roundness to it, her forehead is slightly broader than your jaw, and her face is widest at her cheekbones. Her eyebrows are considered to be the soft angled shape ((view spoiler)), and Keziah has big almond shaped eyes with long lashes (e.g. http://weheartit.com/entry/11970510). Her hair is dark colored which is often mistaken for black and cascades to her mid-back (e.g. http://weheartit.com/entry/34091092), with a light tan complexion.
Distinct Feature A small triangle shaped birthmark on her collarbone.
Languages: Other than English, she can Spanish, Japanese, and a bit Russian
Talents:
Dancing
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Keziah often danced with her mother in almost every where. Not so much later, Keziah was a graceful, outstanding performer.
Acrobatics
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Even at a young age, she was able to execute cartwheels and somersaults in mid-air with a skill that surpassed even her friend. She’s also very flexible, able to contort herself into positions nearly impossible for an ordinary person to achieve and walk on her hands without any difficulty. These abilities allowed her to scale many surfaces very quickly, and squeeze through most barriers and small spaces (which came in handy when spying on her mother at night).
Personality:
Protective
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
She keeps her loved ones close, but her love isn’t smothering. ⤶ ❝You! Don’t mess with my brother. Only I’m allowed to do that.❞
⤷ She's very easygoing about things and comes across as genuinely warm, charming, and friendly, which happens often since she deeply enjoys personal interaction (which she does with a lot of laughing, and eye contact). As much as she likes to talk and laugh with others, she is actually very closed about her internal world and background, and she always finds a slippery way to change that subject. Keziah puts her loved ones first, When she’s angry, she deals with it by insults, or sharp comments. When she’s sad, she’s depressed for awhile, so it’s obvious she can have strong emotions.
Bold
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
If she has an issue, she would say it. Unless it’s a hard topic for a person to discuss. ⤶ ❝ I really like you alot. You remind me of my brother.❞
⤷ If Keziah likes you, she would say so. Maybe not straight away, but she will let you know her thoughts. In relationship terms perhaps, she wouldn’t try to sell herself. She isn’t really the flirting and flaunting type. She thinks most things will turn out okay, and she tries to see the best in people. This female is a real character; she wants nothing more than to enjoy what she already has. Even if she has such a character, she compares what she has like a cup of water—what she has half full, and half empty. Keziah sometimes tends to glance at what she has half empty, even if it’s hard for her to express. Although not reckless, she is no coward and gets a thrill out of danger. Keziah doesn’t care much for fitting in, and shows her affection through sarcasm. She would say things nonchalantly which would normally embarrass a person (in a good way). Besides her wild, stubborn, and fierce behavior, she knows and respects her importance in life.
Fun-loving
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
One of the many traits she has inherited from her mother. ⤶ ❝ I’d rather be weird than boring.❞
⤷ Keziah loves to talk about things that are fun and entertaining; she especially enjoys telling tales of her past exploits, which she tends to exaggerate into tall tales over time. She’s likes imagining and thinking ahead, though she knows how it’s important to keep her head stuck in reality. But she can be a little moody sometimes. Most of the time she has a reason, but sometimes no reason at all.
Quirks: ★ She tends to often twirl the end of her curly hair when she’s embarrassed or nervous.
Main fear: ★ She’s most frightened of the past repeating in the future.
Likes: ★ Socializing
★ Sunshine and long walks
★ Stories and storytelling
★ Children and animals
★ Sweets
★ Celebrations
Dislikes: ★ Spiders [It takes her forever to kill a spider because she feels that if she gets too close, it will jump on her, and kill her.]
★ Bitter foods
★ Heights [Though she liked climbing trees when she was little.]
★ Make up [She doesn’t mind dresses, but make up doesn’t make her feel like herself.]
★ Rainy days
History: Keziah Kadira Brand was born to Jasper Brand, and Katherine Brand (Old last name was Czera), on May 12,1995. Jasper, though his parents tried to raise him to embrace their customs, he never wanted to be "tied down." In the end, this was what caused him to leave Katherine when Keziah was five (Keziah would ask about why her father left, but her mother would only say “He and I both wanted different things that’s all sweetie). Katherine raised Keziah on her own as a single mother. She never considered remarriage, not even dating anyone; she still loved Jasper, even through all the pain. She had bad for him, and couldn’t seem to let it go-- for what some might call "unconditional love."
What Keziah cherished most was the mother-daughter bond between her and Katherine. Katherine was a happy, young woman who helped people. Katherine always smiled, and cared more about family than anything else. This is were Keziah found her love for story telling. Every night, Keziah’s mother would sit by her by her bed, and recall the good, and the bad memories of her past. She would tuck her in, and end the session with a special thing they called, "Compass." Keziah’s mother was almost unnaturally selfless, and enjoyed elemental spells (mostly water and earth). On most days, Katherine would do some funny pranks with her daughter to brighten up the mood. With Katherine’s infectious smile, she was like an angel. Well... not exactly, but metaphorically.
Throughout her childhood, Keziah spent most of her days next to her mother watching her at work (as a mid-wife). In addition, Keziah kept a small circle of friends. And on most nights, she studied since she enjoyed learning new things, even if it’s just a few facts. A few years later, when Keziah was 15, her new baby sister, Maya was born. Which was also the cause of her mother’s death (she died of blood loss).
★Fact: It was a rainy day when her mother died so that's why Keziah doesn't like the rain. Everytime it rains, it makes her sad, and depressed.
Parents: ★ Father [Missing] The guy she hates most
★ Mother [Dead] This is who Nezra idolizes most
Other: ★ Her little sister Maya, age four and blind (http://weheartit.com/entry/16693320).
★ She prefers being called by her middle name.
★ Though Keziah had her doubts about The Selection, she feels it was a chance her mother gave her from the dead to have her live a happy life.

I'm making a male But he might not hae as much fluufy stuff like Kadira. I'm trying to make it long, because I love long character profiles <33His name is Marcelis. I might make him from 18 to 19 yrs old. And his appearance
ooh la la~
And he's got the MANLIEST JOB EVER!! *pauses for effect* A TAILOR!! ahaha just kidding.. maybe
Name: Marcelis “Minho” LavorAge: 18 [birthday ~ July 4, 1994]
Birthday: July 4,1994
Gender: M
Status: 2
Occupation: Soldier (I feel like we needed more two’s :P)
Appearance:
http://weheartit.com/entry/34600482
http://weheartit.com/entry/34458377
Specific Details: Marcelis has dark hair hair, and a set of dark eyes to match. His hair is naturally messy-ish (see in pictures), but the look suites him. His mother loved ruffling, and running her fingers through his hair, and said it was: “Just like your father’s but better.” His eyes are small in appearance, and looks as if he just woken up from a nap. Marcelis loves flashing his pearly whites, and has dimples on both his cheeks. He is tall--exactly six feet in height, and still growing. Despite his height, he isn’t lanky, but more athletic and muscular looking (more average than buff). When he speaks, it’s sounds as if it’s a mix of southern and English (e.g. Instead of saying: “Excuse me?” he says, “I beg your pardon?”). Marcelis’s complexion is a light tan--similar to a hispanic’s skin tone.
Distinct Feature: Dimples.
Languages: English, French, and Italian
Talents: Fencing
Personality:
Observant
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Marcelis studies things, and often sees and notices stuff someone might not address. ⤶
⤷ After Ava’s death, and much of his thinking, he noticed many things that people tend to miss. A trait he possibly picked up from staring at his window. He uses this trait to his advantage, and uses it to think ahead of his enemy. Marcelis can often get frustrated when he doesn’t find a loophole right away.
Laid-back
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
On the outside, Marcelis doesn’t seem to panic as much as someone else would in a crisis. ⤶ ❝Well she obviously isn’t going to survive if you keep shuckin’ tears. Let me pick her up and take her to the hospital.❞
⤷ Marcelis is very laid-back and cheerful, always looking for a laugh. When he went to school, he was convinced that the student council was 'The Campus Defense Force, protecting students from the forces of evil'. He’s flamboyant, and overconfident, often speaking of himself in a much brighter light than others, while in truth, he is still INSECURE from his past. Marcelis likes to annoy people, the more impulsive, the better. He also likes making sarcastic remarks.
Adaptive
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Really helps him when he has to adjust.⤶ ❝ Here, this doesn't seem so bad. We could just.. nah... no wait a minute. There!❞
⤷ Previously mentioned about him being observant, he’s adaptive in many situations and will use every resource he has in use. Although, before he was able to conquer his fear, he wasn’t so use to change (see history).
★Also: Intelligent.
Quirks: ★ You would often find Marcelis whistling or tapping his foot. When he's frustrated, embarrassed, timid, or nervous, he runs his fingers through his hair and looks away.
Main fear(s): ★ Snakes
★ Closed spaces
★ His mother
★ Death, change, and friendships
Likes: ★ Stuffed animals
★ Desserts and other sweets
★ Being tall
★ Running and other physical activity
★ Pointy stuff
★ Fencing
Dislikes: ★ Snakes
★ Un productivity
★ Art (he can't draw for squat)
★ Carrots
★ Soup
★ Being confused
History: When Marcelis’s mother--Clair demanded that Marcelis should be aborted out of fear that the child would steal her place in Isaak's heart. She threatened to abort the child unless her demands were met. After Marcelis's birth, in compliance with Clair's demands, Isaak took the newborn son, and escaped. Sometime in Marcelis's childhood, Isaak's illness took a turn for the worse. On his death-bed, he told the young Marcelis not to be afraid, adding that he would always be with him, even if he couldn't physically see him. Isaak went onto confess that he had wanted Clair to be the happiest over Marcelis, because Marcelis was a "special existence," and therefore he and Clair were special. After he passed away, when Clair found out that no one had come to get her when Marcelis had been dying, she yelled at the young Marcelis that he was an unwanted existence, and that she had only been a little toy to amuse Isaak; Clair also added that, because Isaak was dead, no one had any more need of her.
Marcelis countered these statements, telling his hysterical mother that his father had loved him; but because of Isaak's parting words, even Marcelis himself doubted that Isaak had loved him the most, fearing that he had "lost" to "that woman" (Clair). One of the elderly maids, wanting to comfort Marcelis, proceeded to give him an empty box, claiming that Isaak's spirit was inside it, and that she had wanted only Marcelis to receive such a special gift. (The same maid later claimed that the box was of course empty, and only given to Marcelis to help him through such a stressful time, adding that Marcelis should have well known that his father's spirit wasn't really inside the box.) All of his life, Marcelis kept this box hidden away in his room; he kept in secret, that part of him didn't believe that anything was inside of the box, yet another part always hoped that maybe there was.
One day, when Marcelis was glooming outside his window, he spotted a young girl. The girl’s clothes were torn, and she had a scar on her cheek. She noticed Marcelis staring, but passed out before she uttered a word. Without question, or a second thought, Marcelis ran out his house and helped the girl inside. He told the maids to tend and care for the stranger. When the guest, woke up, Marcelis was kneeling by her body, and the two soon became friends (but it was hard for Marcelis to make friends since he was usually isolated.). Later revealed the girl’s named was Ava, and Ava was also the one who gave Marcelis his nickname: Minho. Since Marcelis believed that the world was a cruel, bleak place in which unconditional love did not exist outside of his home, he also believed that Ava would eventually end up rejecting Marcelis and leaving him behind. Which of course, did not happen but unfortunately, Ava was murdered with no trace of the attacker. It is eventually revealed that Marcelis had always been lonely and afraid of change. The reason that he clung so desperately to Ava was that he feared that, without her, he would be all alone, and his existence meaningless, just as his mother had always claimed.Wondering if everything really was all his fault, and why his world was collapsing so suddenly. But one of the maids realized how both she and Marcelis had been trying to hold onto an "unchanging" reality (Marcelis clinging to Ava;The maid wanting her husband to always be by her side), told Marcelis that she understood how scary it is to be alone, and instead offered her hand in friendship.
After all this, Marcelis mostly went by the name Minho when he was acknowledged by friends as well as strangers. He then decided to be a soldier for the royal family, trying to accomplish something in his life. He worked hard, and trained, making mass improvement. Then he found his strong point in fencing. Though Marcelis is uncomfortable telling the long story of his past, he is hard to open at times, but is willing to share some general bits and pieces.
Parents: ★ Father: Isaak Lavor [Dead]
★ Mother: Clair Lavor [Alive] (view spoiler)
