Name: Merlayne of Redyng
Nicknames: Layne, Mer, Mere, Laynie, Sleepyhead, Ms. Bunny, Cute Blue Bunny [Don't ask. Just don't.]
Age/Birthday: 17 years, Born October 17th
Height/Weight: currently at 5'10", though she is growing just a tiny bit more, ever so slowly.. 155 lbs.
Appearance: Merlayne has long, -very- wavy copper-brown hair that falls to about her midback when wavy, and is much longer when wet. Her green-black eyes reflect light, making her gaze like looking into a series of mirrors. She's not thin, but of average build. She can usually be seen with her hair hanging loose down her back or braided, and is very rarely seen without several layers of skirts on and several books and handkerchiefs hidden somewhere on her person. Her typical outfit consists of a brightly-colored bodice laced up the front over a chemise, and, of course, the many skirts.
Personality: Merlayne is really a sweetheart once she gets to know you. She often appears shy or wary, but will instantly warm up if you're nice to her. She has an adverse reaction to sugar, resulting in one -hyper- girl. However, when not hyper, she is quite polite and will help you with just about anything if you ask nicely. She easily loses herself when drunk. And you know that little alarm that goes off in the back of you head when you know you're doing something you'll regret? Well, Layne's taught herself to ignore it, and does so quite often.
Friends: Merlayne easily makes acquaintances, but does not make friends quite so easily. [I can't remember any names, so sorry.. -.-]
Relationships: Layne is an insufferable flirt [much to her puppeteer's chagrin]. However, she is currently engaged to Co, and she tries to keep to herself. She doesn't flaunt it, but will talk about it if you bring it up. [hint: check out the ring] She can't stand Dodger for the life of her, and would be more than willing to make him a eunuch if given half a chance. However, she's a tad afraid of him now that he's had his growth spurt.
Gift: Layne has a dark green healing Gift, which she is being trained in at the palace.
Likes: Shoes, reading, riding horses, watching the squires train at the palace during the winter, sugar, boys, balls, ball gowns, escaping to the city to get away from palace life, rainy days, thunderstorms, Co, tickle attacks, Co giving her tickle attacks [*grins*].
Dislikes: Ale [at least now], "lady lessons", cloudy days, rude people, arguing, fighting, just about anything upleasant, especially Dodger.
Family: Father, Sir Lord Deverel of Redyng;
Mother, Lady Lilybet of Redyng;
Older brother, Sir Rooke of Redyng, 19;
Younger sister, Kalei of Redyng, 13.
Cousin, Laedelynn of Redyng, 16.
Currently all but Rooke reside at the palace.
Animals: Horse, Brandywine; Cats, Karisma ("favor, gift"), Pixie (hyper), Killian ("small, fierce").
History: She's a noble, born at Fief Redyng near the center of Tortall, where she grew up. Her family moved to the palace just over a year ago when her father accepted a job at Court. She has been living there ever since, basking in the glow of her debutante light.
