Ashleigh's CharactersName: Evette
Gender: Female
Age: 37
Appearance: Description: Evette has very dark skin with cunning brown eyes. She usually wears an ethnic-looking headwrap over her black hair which is always in cornrows. She wears an autumn coloured kimono and wooden strappy sandals. She always has large golden hoops dangling from her ears and always carries her sun staff with her.
Personality: Evette is very wise and has a thick carribean accent. She may seem rather harsh and critical when you first meet her, but once you've passed her judgement, she is very kind and friendly. She takes care of the tiny village of Bakersville and is considered the mayor of the village. Her heart belongs to Bakersville and everything she does is for the good of the village. She is an honest woman unlike Thomas from Mineral Town. People who do wrong in her village are punished severely by her. She is extremely intelligent and analytical, along with being wise.
Biography: Evette grew up on a small carribean island with her family and a few other villagers who lived off the land, rather than construct buildings and businesses. When Evette was fifteen, a plague struck the island and wiped out everyone except her. Evette stayed on the island and lived alone. Eventually, other people came and developed other parts of the island, naming them Mineral Town and Forget-Me-Not Valley, but the tiny space of land that Evette called Bakersville remained untouched. The Sun Staff she carries with her was a gift from her wise grandmother at her birth and is a sign from the Harvest Goddess that it was Evette's destiny to remain on the island and become the leader of Bakersville for the villagers who would eventually settle there. Of course, Evette was unaware of all of this until a woman named Ehlonna revealed all of this to her.
Heart Events: None. Evette is not eligable for marriage.
Other?:----------
Name: Niamh (Nee - ahv) Yes, there is a v at the end of that pronunciation. It's not a typo.
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance: Description: Kind of dark skinned girl, with long black hair, and blue eyes. Wears black and blue jeans.
Personality: Although Niamh is very tender and gentle when she is healing injures or delivering babies, she is usually quite reserved and cold the rest of the time. She doesn’t reveal much about herself to others and doesn’t treat her five year old son as a child, but as an equal to her. In fact, he calls her Niamh instead of mom. She’s reasonably friendly but prefers to keep personal matters just between her and her son and many people come to like and respect her for her unusual parenting methods and relative calm. Beware, despite her usually reserved and calm attitude, Niamh will become as vicious as a wild animal if her son is in danger.
Biography: Niamh had a typical troubled home-life. She fought with her parents and got mixed up in things that she shouldn’t have. She was a typical rebellious teenager and when she was fourteen found out that she was going to be a mom. Enfuriated, her parents sent her away to live with her kind grandmother who gladly took her in. Her grandmother was a midwife in a small little village far away from the city so she taught Niamh everything about midwifery and natural healing remedies. Niamh was fascinated by it and wanted to use what her grandmother had taught her to make a new and better life for her and her baby. Niamh’s grandmother delivered her baby boy whom she named Diarmid. Soon after the birth of her son, Niamh’s grandmother passed away, leaving her with a small inheritance and instructions to go settle down somewhere and make a life for herself. She and her son travelled from place to place until she stumbled upon Bakersville…
Heart Events: None. Niamh is not eligible for marriage but she welcomes romantic relationships.
Other?: Her birthday is Fall 8th. Diarmid’s birthday is Winter 29th.
----------
Name: Diarmid (Deer-mid)
Age: 5
Gender: Male
Appearance: Description: Diarmid is nearly the spitting image of his mother, Niamh. He reaches up to his mother's hips and has jet black hair that lays flat in a fairly neat bowl-like cut on his round head. His eyes are the same brown as his mother's and he also shares her cinnamon brown skin. He usually wears striped t-shirts and cargo shorts or pants if it's cold outside with either boots or sneakers (again, depending on the weather).
Personality: Diarmid is a fairly quiet, observant child. His mother raises him rather unconventionally and therefore, he is wiser and more intuitive than most other five year olds. However, he still likes to run about playing and having fun. Since his mother pretty much lets him have his freedom, he does this a lot. He is mostly cheeerful and friendly, although more intelligent than most children because his mother treats him more as an adult than a child.
Biography: Diarmid's mother had him when she was just fourteen years old. He lived with her and his great-grandmother until he was a few months old when his great-grandmother died, leaving his mom with some money to take care of herself and her infant son. Diarmid's grown up on the road, going from town to town, from inn to inn, from one lifestyle to another so he can easily adapt to change. He's never stayed in one place long enough to make long lasting friends so he relies on his mother heavily in order to both be his friend and take care of him. He loves his mother dearly and is very close with her.
Heart Events: None. He's a five year old child.
Other?: Diarmid’s birthday is Winter 29th.
