SPECIES --- Vampire
OCCUPATION --- Queen
APPEARANCE ---
Arrianna's appearance changes often. Being alive for over 200 years -- especially being like Arrianna and being alive for over 200 years -- one gets bored of one's appearance. Naturally, Arrianna has very dark red hair. It's naturally straight, but the vampire queen loves to play with different styles, her favorite being curled and caught up in an elegant bun with a few locks framing her face and straightened and left down to its full length where it ends at the small of her back. Her hair often changes color as well. From black, to blonde with purple highlights -- it doesn't matter. Though Arrianna knows full well as queen she must make an impression on others, she's not afraid to show off her style. For the time being, her hairs is its natural color with a streak of light magenta near ear.
Arrianna also loves the use of contacts. From blue, to silver, to amber . . . Arrianna often surprises her court with a new eye color. Though her own eyes -- a lovely and delicate pale violet -- are quite beautiful, she's grown too accustomed to them. Though she doesn't really like it, Arrianna often uses makeup, just to change what she believes is her boring appearance. Mascara, lipstick, and eye shadow are the most common cosmetics she uses.
As for stature, Arrianna is quite tall and slender. She's feminine and her body isn't built for aggression, though, being a vampire, she definitely could beat a couple members of her court at arm wrestling. She has a delicate frame, long legs, and a petite waist with pretty curves.
Her attire, like her facial appearance, changes like a caterpillar changes to a butterfly -- from revealing dresses one would wear to a bar or a club, to elegant gowns one would wear at a wedding. She makes sure her apparel is appropriate for the occasion, but on a day where there's only paperwork to be done, Arrianna may just wear some shorts and a cotton shirt, or a full-out gown that looks like it must have taken an hour to simply put on. Then again, Arrianna may just wear a shirt and shorts to the council meetings as well. She may not always quite seem proper, but she doesn't care. If she's bored of how she looks, Arrianna changes her appearance, simple as that.
PERSONALITY ---
Arrianna, true to her appearance and the vampire stereotype, changes her mind like the wind. She tends to be slightly sarcastic and loves humor. Despite being queen, she's pretty carefree when she's with those she loves. Sure, if there's a war on with her own people and another, she'll be out there worrying away and giving orders to do this and that. But overall, if it doesn't have anything to do with her, she doesn't bother with it. Of course, she keeps up with the news from other countries so they can be prepared, but other that that, she wants to keep her country out of others' business.
Arrianna can seem distant at times. She easily falls into depression when things do get too much for her or when she's alone and something is nagging her. However, it usually doesn't take too much to cheer her up a little bit. Something as small as a pretty flower as a gift or an invitation to tea from another of her court is enough to lighten her mood for a little.
At court, when with the other countries' kings/queens, Arrianna is a lot more quiet. In her own home, she can chatter endlessly about something, rambling on for an hour at least. In public, under the watchful eyes of those she's supposed to be equal in rank to, Arrianna is more timid. She often watches and listens at council meetings rather than speaking first. However, since she also has an aggressive side to her nature, once in a heated discussion about something she cares about -- especially her home country and her people -- Arrianna will go on the offensive with a passion. The same goes for someone who attacks her or those she loves in her personal life.
Despite being easily angered, Arrianna is very loving and empathetic -- being alive (or rather, being dead) for so long has shown her the slums and high places in life. Her loyalty to her friends is impressive. However, loyalty to her husband or lover isn't quite as inspiring. She's never done anything too serious, but rumors have been heard of the vampire queen who was dallying with the human visitors to her court. Another part of being a vampire -- the other ceatures' lives are too short to overlook. If you want something, you have to take it while you have the chance. She's an expert at flirting, and the things that follow.
Arrianna gets especially bad at parties. She loves festivities, for no matter what reason. She'd have a party for her maid's sister's cat's birthday if she could. However, restraint is required of a queen, and Arrianna holds herself back. Whenever at a ball or something of that sort, however, she gets even more flirtatious -- significant other in the vicinity or not. Alcohol makes her especially bold, and she loves it. Arrianna is no drunk, but she does like her liquor.
FAMILY AND HISTORY ---
As a child, or, at least, a young vampire, Arrianna was raised to be the definition of prim and proper. Her father was the ruling king of the vampires, and she was the selected heir to the throne. The only child, really. Her mother did not die of childbirth, but she was forever weakened afterwards because of a earlier version of the plague that took the life of the Fae Queen, Jonya, during her pregnancy. Arrianna was healthy, but her mother took the toll of the illness by never fully recovering.
Growing up, Arrianna had a simple life of being raised to be a queen. Her father taught her the aspects of ruling, in case she didn't choose a husband, and her mother taught her the aspects of being a consort -- a wife and mother, two things Arrianna didn't want. When her mother pressed her to allow some nobles to court her, Arrianna finally allowed it. It was then she became the flirt she was. It was an interesting game to play, seeing one man and promising her heart to another. It never led to anything, though.
When Arrianna's mother heard the news her father was killed in a war -- during the day, of course -- her mother took her own life. From then on, Arrianna ruled on her own. When she learned of Jonya's death by the same sickness that nearly killed her mother, she visited to give her condolenses. It was then she met the Fae Queen, Laurnen, and they became fast friends.
