Rose (Gypsium)

[Gypsium]

Slave Form


Basic Information

Full Name: Rose Gypsium

Nickname: Rose, Freckles, Pinky, Rosy, D'ardaigh, Espinha

Name on Identification: Standard Collar of the Tether. "Rose"

Age: 26 (Birthday: Dec 4th)

Gender: Female

Species: Jeweled Tiger, AKA "Gypsium"

Sub Species/Breed: A rare species of tiger, the "jewelled tiger" grows jewels from its flesh and sheds at need. Found in only one place in the world, reportedly near extinction.

Physical Appearance

Body Type: Slender, especially considering her breed. Healthy, strong, slightly curvy.

Physical Details: (Hair/Eyes/Skin/Etc) Rose-colored eyes; irises literally form the shape of singular roses in each eye upon close inspection. Sleek white fur, red-dyed hair, wavy. (Natural hair color is a pale pink.) Unmarked. Her stripes, similar to a Siberian tiger's, are a pale pink and glisten with a natural opalescence.

Physical Markings: None currently.

Physical Drawbacks: While stronger than she appears, she is not built for heavy hand-to-hand combat. Tends to bleed profusely if a jewel is pulled free ahead of its natural cycle. Sheds beginning of February, resumes cycle over two-three weeks, sheds again October.

Current Infliction(s): None.

Physical Defenses: Hands and toes sport a tiger's claws of true diamonds; unlike the rest of her jewels these do not grow back. They are small and as fine as clear glass and rarely noticeable. Her teeth are naturally sharp, though she's never used them for anything but eating. Athletic, flexible and made for speed, she is more a swimmer than a climber, though she can do either at need. A sharp-tongue is a double-edged sword; as likely to bite another as it is to bite her in the ass.

Appealing Attributes: Soft-spoken and (usually) incredibly polite, she is often reserved and will calmly take hold of any situation permitted to be under her care. Figure sports curves in all the right places, tail equally slender. Excellent sense of balance. Her dancing often expresses a hidden passion beneath the reserved exterior, an endless devotion to whichever task she takes up. Plays within her limits once she's clear on them. Obsessive perfectionist; a simple rebuke can have her chewing herself out for days or until she feels she's redeemed herself. Literally will work herself into the ground, unless ordered to relax. Fast-learner; will go the extra length to ensure no one will stand a chance at 'taking her place'.

Clothing: Tether-issued harem silks or whichever others see fit to clothe her in-- or not.

Other Items: Pearl earrings and a gold necklace with a small rose cast in gold flakes, given to her by her parents on the day she was made lady-in-waiting. Kept in a small box among the 'belongings' of other slaves. She has not seen these in a very long time, contained in a jeweled box. Jewels create a mosaic of leaves with a ruby ladybug clasp. She's not seen this particular belonging since her arrival and she's never asked to see it.
Shed jewels are kept in a sturdy black box and maintained in inventory by the sharp-eyed Tether guards.
*A small, slender black hardcover journal, as gifted by one Diana, a surface-walking mermaid.

Behavior

Feral or Cultured: Cultured.

Phobias: Strong aversion to dragons, fear of failure/demotion, any enclosed space on boats.

Disorders: None Yet Known. (Coming soon!)

How do they present themselves: Quiet, reserved, dignified, immaculate.

Feelings towards being owned / rented: While there is the understandable dislike of being trapped in a land where everything she has and does is meaningless unless otherwise decided by her keepers, she desperately strives to prove herself worthy and seeks to make the best of it.

Overall Attitude: Her attempts at humility are frequently at odds with her aspirations and pride. Polite, courteous, soft-spoken and desires to do well. Hints of a subdued temper at unknown triggers*. Enjoys a sense of order to things, also accustomed to being the dominant female in her past social circles, no doubt she'd have the harem under her thumb if she could. What's a little rivalry between girls to keep them on their toes?
*Caught more than once to have quite the temper and sharp-tongue if led to believe, however wrongly, that she has solid footing or the upper hand with another. Does not like losing and tends to take such things too seriously. Is not above admitting her faults, though she despises being wrong in the first place.

Quirks: Monogamous(?), though she can show a tender, caring side to those she serves, so long as it does not trespass the line between Master and Slave. Territorial and competitive she knows full-well her rise to 'power' stops at 'slave', but she'll sink her claws into the highest foot hold she can get, even if it means using her fellow slaves to get there. Of course, friends are the exceptions to this rule; for other slaves around her it's probably best to stay on her good side in the event she ever 'succeeds'. (In her mind, any way.)
Learns by watching others, the mind of a sponge pocketing away more things than most would guess.

*Not Yet Discovered: She has the ability to tell a real gem from a fake upon sight; a sniff will tell her the quality and if there are hidden faults. Could be useful in ensuring any future master is spared being cheated if dealing in jewels. Even the stones on her own body can become flawed via injury or illness.

Hobbies / Interests: Falconry, embroidery, reading, writing, calligraphy, archery, horseback riding, garden work, decoding challenging works, a flare for linguistics.
See Also: Eavesdropping, meddling.

High or Low Maintenance: Moderate

Diet / Allergies: Mostly meat, though she will make an effort to politely eat whatever is before her. However, she hosts an as of yet unknown aversion to anything consisting of unicorn meat. She is apt to get very ill if fed such fare-- providing she realizes that is what she's just ingested.


Abilities

Language(s) Spoken: Common, Feral. (The feral she is not yet aware of; she believes that skill left behind. She requires physical contact to communicate with a feral and it is a silent connection.) An intermediate grasp of Alemanish. Frrench, Portuguese and Arabic. She writes and understands better than she speaks any of them, leaving many not realizing just how much she truly does understand.

Can they Read / Write: Yes, both, and in a neat, flowing hand.

Can your character produce magic: No. (OOC Info Solely presently:)(However, she does eat pixies to maintain the health of her coat/jewels and physical well-being. Quite conveniently, she needs only to do this once a year (Tether's fae have a different quality than the ones at home, being more potent), though she lacks will-power in just how much she will ingest. (The ones in her homeland knew to steer clear, the Tether's likely do not as of yet.) However, it is best if she feeds once a month, or minimum every three months, for best jewel quality and health.
--> While she cannot read thoughts or minds, there is a certain level of resistance in reading her own if others try. Inexperienced others that may try it shall find themselves mentally turned out on their asses, boot stamp mentally included. Experienced readers may get more than they bargain for; the calculating mind has a knack for fighting back by muddying the waters.

Talents / Skills: Dancing, though she uses it as an exercise to clear her mind and only indulges in the activity in private when she thinks that no one is watching. Often found to be diplomatic and tries to smooth things over if she senses trouble brewing among her fellows. Capable of menial tasks without complaint; cleans with a hard-working, obsessive air. Speaks with a soft voice with a British hint, though the accent is not precisely categorized. Good balance and indulges in dry wit, though that may be a fault depending on the preference.
Moderate experience in the medical art; the Tether's flora and fauna are foreign so her skills as an herbalist need amending. Knows how to work bandages and poultices and comfort the ill. Graceful, long fingers clever at embroidery may prove her to be quite the useful surgeon with training.
Has worked with hunting hounds.
Updated: Growing talent in juggling, incorporating items into dance (juggled items lit on fire may provide an interesting display), can repair/upkeep leather, some training in polishing armor, calligraphy and scribe work, suggestions of a theater background.

Training: That of a lady in waiting, as well as some maid duties. Can care for falcons or other trained birds, horse care as well. In terms of the training expected of a slave in the Tether, some. Knows greetings, bows, keeps gaze lowered, avoids interrupting, though may speak out of turn if her emotions get the better of her. Knows to say 'sir' or 'miss', though she tends to say it to everyone, erring on the side of caution.
*Always heels at one's right, though she does not yet know the meaning behind the side taken, only that she has never yet found herself on a patron's left.

OOC Info/Notes

What are you looking for in a slave / slaver Roleplay: Development of the character, interaction, plot-based roleplay, something in which 'Rose' is challenged to excel. (Training to enhance her performance as a harem slave, potentially towards a house slave position or as an entertainer. Dancing a specialty.) Some one with a firm hand; she's tougher than she looks, at least in so far as a 'mortal' (long-life span) jewelled tiger can be. Rivals are <3~ Rose wholely intends to keep her fellow harem slaves on their toes once she acquaints herself with where the limits are.

What are your allowances for your character: Anything, short of death or permanent dismemberment. No 'yiff', thanks. That doesn't mean that characters can't make advances on her or express their displeasure at her refusal, of course.

Long Term/Short Term: Both!

General Information

Character Description: She held herself with the dignity and composure of any lady that has spent her years at court. Eyes of mineral-flecks in rose-pink hues had a rose each for irises. Hair pinned up to fall stylishly half-loose, clad in a lavender and gold-trimmed sari. Stripes entirely opalescent, shimmering under the light with each flicker of a torch, each subtle breath. Exotic beauty was not without oddity, for jewels blossomed from her flesh in a tiara pattern across her brow, others found scattered down the sides of her torso and the outside of thighs. *Attire changes as plot directs.

Notes: N/A

[Jamaika]

Filed on top of Rose's papers is a half sheet of white parchment baring the following:

To whom it may concern:

Please update this slave's in-house paperwork to reflect her service to The Golden Tether between the dates of 10/11 and 10/18, training exclusively with Madame Calypso Cioskar. To her training and skills, the following additions should be made:

Moderate Sewing - the marking, trimming and thread-following of basic patterns, firm, consistent stitch execution, clasp and button securing, fabric identification and hemming.
Basic Costuming - creating mask 'clay' from raw materials, forming masks in pre-made molds, mask adornment, artificial mask and cloth aging.
Overseeing - The responsibility of overseeing the work, behavior and other activities of seven other slaves during her shift-times with Madame Calypso.


Also, this personal note from Madame Cioskar should be added to the slave's references:

As expected from a slave of the house, Rose was not only a joy to work with, but a constant source of positivity and no doubt an inspiration to the others on her shifts. She was educational, patient and encouraging toward her fellow slaves while overseeing, and both diligent and something of a perfectionist during her working hours. -- CBC
