Lynderas - Candidate

[poptart]

NAME:  Lynderas (Lyndaya)
RANK: Candidate
AGE: 18
GENDER: AMAB
ORIENTATION: Uncertain

APPEARANCE:

    There is nothing about Lynderas' physique that would lead anyone to consider them 'sturdy', and for traits that are considered typically desirable for a male they don't exhibit many. No singular attribute, whether that be height, build, shoulder width or anything else is lacking in any peculiar way, however when added all together Lynderas could still be considered slight. Sporting simple brown hair, blue eyes, and a small arrangement of freckles on their cheeks some may even consider Lynderas cute, however it is highly unlikely most ever get a good look at them given they attempt to hide behind longer hair than may be considered typical.    

PERSONALITY FAULTS:

    Lynderas is highly self critical, and is heard often using self deprecation as a defense mechanism. It is far safer to level unkind words at oneself before another can maliciously weaponize them after all. More often than not one would be pressed to hear Lynderas saying anything at all however, as they are usually quite soft spoken unless cornered. This lack of social gregariousness is another form of self defense as being largely invisible in any room they are in is preferable to being noticed by the most unscrupulous individuals present. These defense mechanisms have been carefully curated after years of living in the conservative atmosphere of Cove hold where every unconventional behavior is met swiftly with admonishment. Lynderas is also prone to bouts of lethargy, and sometimes even the most simple tasks require a tremendous amount of effort for completion leaving them exhausted after completing their chores.

PERSONALITY STRENGTHS:

    It can take a fair amount of effort and time to befriend Lynderas, however upon successfully doing so one will find they have gained an incredibly loyal companion. Making time for friends is not an issue for Lynderas as they will always make the investment in those they value, and will never regret deepening their existing relationships. Lynderas tries to exhibit the same characteristics they value in their friends, mainly being honest and reliable. This reliability is intertwined with a sense of pride Lynderas has in their duties, and even though they can be exhausting Lynderas will always strive to complete the work they have been assigned.

FAMILY: Derasken (father), Katlyna (mother), unnamed sister

HISTORY:

    Lynderas was born in the relative safety of Cove Hold, their parents Katlyna and Derasken were modest to say the least, and in true holder fashion their parent's spent their lives spawning offspring and performing laborious tasks for their indifferent lord. Lynderas seemed doomed to a similar fate working with their older sister in the kitchens from a young age cleaning pots and utensils; although it was tedious work it was also vastly kinder to ones body than other jobs at the hold. Over many years Lynderas' role in the kitchens evolved as they progressed from simple duties to ingredient preparation, and eventually they even accumulated a multitude of recipes and useful cooking skills. Even with a less demanding job dominating Lynderas' time their living conditions could usually be described as uncomfortable at best; this was owed in no small part due to the conservative nature of Cove Hold, and of course the conservative nature of their father. Lynderas' mother had been far kinder to them, and prior to falling ill and passing, was a seamstress. Katlyna's work had always interested Lynderas, particularly the more intricate gowns their mother had produced, one of which being her sisters gather day dress. Lynderas only made the mistake of showing too much interest in the garment once, and a the particularly nasty encounter with Derasken served as a reminder to never do so again. In another setting Lynderas may have exhibited a far brighter personality, less reserved personality, however at Cove Hold they are practically invisible.
