NAME: Pollifa
RANK: Housewife
AGE: 19 Turns
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
APPEARANCE: (FC: Bailee Madison)
Standing at 5’ 6”, Pollifa is of average height for a woman and has taken on a rounder shape since becoming a mother. Though not truly overweight, she has a mild sort of plumpness to her form that somehow matches perfectly her soft and nurturing tendencies. Her eyes are a rich and warm brown set in a round face with a petite nose. Her hair is a muted sort of brown, and usually kept in a neat updo, more to keep it out of her way than to be particularly fashionable, though when loose it just touches her mid back. A woman who has embraced the feminine, she generally wears dresses, though she does have some blouses and skirts in her wardrobe as well.
PERSONALITY FAULTS: Pollifa has a tendency to be too self-sacrificing, always putting everyone she cares about before herself, which may leave her drained at best and can lead to illness from overworking and overworrying. She can be a bit intrusive, though it comes from a good place, as she likes to know the details of what’s going on in the lives of the people she cares about so that she can better support them, though if it’s clear her probing is becoming upsetting she will stop. She can be a bit impulsive and may get herself in over her head at times. She’s very concerned with people getting along, and particularly when those she cares about are fighting or arguing, she can become upset and somewhat emotional.
PERSONALITY STRENGTHS: Pollifa is completely devoted to her family and will always try to support them however she can, taking special care for those she believes need her the most. Generous and empathetic, Pollifa is willing to help anyone in need however she can and finds it easy to relate to and understand others, even if she has never had any similar experiences. What her family and friends care about, she cares about, even if it would normally mean nothing to her otherwise. Easygoing and adaptable, she is a very go with the flow sort and though schedules are nice, she can easily shift to go along with any sudden, unexpected changes without issue. Though she is sentimental, she is also very stable emotionally, and it is usually difficult to rile her to emotional extremes.

HISTORY:
Pollifa was the second child and first of five daughters born to Podirra, firstborn daughter of the Lord of Cove, and Rellifex, a Master Glass-smith. Her brother Podrell came first, and her sisters Dirrexa, Rellirra, Ferride, and Lepixi followed. Growing up, she and Podrell became quite close, and their relationship has remained one of support and affection as they’ve grown into adults. They both feel some responsibility toward their younger sisters, though Pollifa has taken a much more hands on approach to it than Podrell in recent turns, as her brother has gone off to find the purpose he’s been seeking in his life, while Pollifa has already found hers. From a young age, Pollifa wanted to be a mother. Dolls were always her favorite toys, and she would constantly play at mothering them. When her younger siblings came along, she mothered them as well, and found it much more rewarding, only solidifying her desire for children, preferably several, and as soon as possible.
She met her husband at 16, taking a chance on him when he asked to dance the Toss dance with her one gather rather than dancing it with her brother as usual. The two were quite infatuated with each other and were married only a few short months later. It isn’t much acknowledged, though it wouldn’t be difficult to figure out by the timing of how it all happened, but Pollifa was pregnant when she married Taskent, a young fisherman and newly made captain of a ship in his father’s fishing fleet. Other than her future husband, Podrell is the only other person she confided in about her condition. Taskent promised immediately that they would marry when he found out, and it wasn’t more than a month later that they were wed. She has been happy ever since, living in her grandfather’s household and raising her daughter while her husband tends to his craft. However there have always been whispers, whispers that died down for the most part after a while, but whispers that affected her all the same.
When her brother and uncle Asirikai both seemed to be taking up residency at Mavros, Pollifa saw a chance to kill several birds with one stone, as it were. It would let her escape any lingering gossip surrounding her short courtship and marriage and the quick birth of her daughter not so long after, for one thing. Deciding that she could be of more use at Mavros than as yet another hand to her grandmother in her duties as Lady of Cove, she convinced her husband to move their little family to the Weyrhold, though not until after their second child, a son, was born. Her younger sister Rellirra accompanied her, to help her with her children now that she’d be so far from all the rest of her female relatives, and in the hopes that their uncle might be able to find her some young lordling to marry in the future since their grandfather seemed less inclined to assist her in the endeavor. At Mavros Pollifa does her best to assist her uncle’s Headwoman in the place of a Lady of the Hold, since he is unmarried for the time being, and is happy to be close to her brother again.
