Leannyn Driscolle

Evania

Name: Leannyn aka Lee

Age: 19 (m09/d08)

Position: Herald-Trainee - 3rd year

Gifts: Touchreading (Strong), Companion Mindspeech

Appearance: Her hair is a honey-wheat blond, straight, and feathered from "bangs" that are about long enough to reach just past her chin, gradually getting longer, the final length reaching about mid-back, and usually held back in a long braid save for the bangs that always seem to fall out of it. Her eyes are so dark a green that they almost look black, though on a vary rare occasion they will lighten slightly with her mood. Her skin is palish porceline, smooth and creamy, with the lightest smattering of frekles, barely noticible, right along the edges of her cheeks near her temples.
Her frame is tall and lean, whipcord almost. Her limbs are long, the legs of a runner, and arms to match in proportion, with agile, slender fingers. Her waist is small, as are her hips a bit narrow, and her shoulders barely broader than that. From behind, she in fact looks a bit like a straight board, instead of the curves of a girl. She does have some signs of showing feminine curves, though it's apparent that she'll never be amply supplied. However, she does seem to possess a charm and inner beauty that can make up for her less than curvatious outer form, and a sweet, pretty face as well.

Personality: What snobbery she may have once possessed has pretty much left her personality. Her nature now is mostly quiet, but kind and friendly. She's usually a very gentle, small smile on her face when in a good mood, and a sour, professional glare when angered. Otherwise her expression is rather neutral, neither this way nor that.
Lee generally relaxes around those she knows and trusts, and will even let go enough to laugh and have fun. She becomes more talkative and lively then, joking and dancing if the occasion calls for it.

Short Life Story: Her father is a jewel worker and metalworker in the silver-smiths Guild, and though her mother was born of a simple, quiet past, he wasn't. His father was a decently wealthy merchant, and apprenticed him into the guild at a young age. Lee's mother was born poor of peasant stock, and had a natural talent at the wirework and beadwork of ladie's jewelry. Thus, though the man's father didn't approve, he married the woman. They had three children, Leannyn being the youngest of them, and the two others, a twin brother and sister, both followed in the example of joining their parents in jewelry work.
Lee resembled her father more than mother, for the woman looked of the peasant breed. Stocky, but not plump, brown hair, brown eyes, tanned skin, with an ample smile and big heart. Her father was tall, almost lanky, with the muscles and build of an aristocrat instead of a soldier, fair skin and hair, and a kind heart hidden behind politics (be they of the house or of the government).
Leannyn had every intention of following her parents into the family business, and would have had she not been chosen. However, as things would have it, the little seen Gifts that ran in her father's blood showed in her. A gifted youngster hadn't been seen in his family in three generations, and as the girl resembles that side of the family, is newly chosen, and obviously gifted... though they do not approve of the marriage, they back her well. Her cousin, and heir to her grandfather's small landholding near the Pelagirs, is currently at Court, and has chosen to welcome her as soon as she has settled into the Collegium.
She has now been in the Collegium two years, and after the first hit of her Gift, covered her hands (where her Gift's reception was centered on) with gloves at any time she didn't need them off. As she couldn't learn to shield from her Gift, it being too wild to truly control, she began learning instead to interpret what she saw, and decipher what she was getting the reading from. She still doesn't have full control over her Gift.

Companion: Tyrnan, stallion
Description: He's a charming and happy horse, a sense of nobility seems to waft about him. Strong and steady, he's very supportive and loving. Though a bit protective of his Chosen, it is more for the hindrance of her Gift, than her past. He's quick to tease her about things though, as an old friend might do jokingly, but never anything that may hurt the girl.

Family:
Mother: Sarah Driscolle; 47; lovely, caring woman, and very proud of her daughter, even if she isn't going to be a silver-worker
Father: Raulf Varsoth Driscolle; 49; Master silver-smith; kind, but a bit stoic and repressed; proud of his daughter, if apprehensive about her being a Herald
Siblings: William (Billy) and Chelsea Driscolle; 25; energetic, happy young adults, kind hearts; very proud of their little sister, will visit her as often as they can.
