Blanche Prietto

One would call Blanche confident and insensitive. Another would call her courteous and loyal. In truth, she is all those things. She is confident because she does not believe in failure or defeat until it is absolutely proven. She would be insensitive because she does not believe in true love, and holds pity for those who dream of soulmates and lustful wishes. She also never smiles or shows her teeth in any way, thinking that no one would take her seriously if she did. "It does not take a smile to be happy," she would always lament to people questioning her emotionless face. She is courteous because she knows that courtesy takes a person to succession, which she desires greatly. Blanche can be power-hungry occassionally, but sticks to humility most of the time. She is loyal because she despises those who lie and cheat their way through life. There is no greater way to live life than to do what you set yourself to and show the world what kind of person you can be. Lacking many friends, she spends her time reading constantly or recording notes and poems on endless supplies of scrolls. If Blanche loves anything, she loves to work. She is currently working as an Interne of the Office of Royal Orders, aiding Mistress Phyrie and consistently completing all duties she must do. She has recently been accepted to study the Hairstyling art from Page Rosa. Blanche's ultimate goal in the Castle is to be recognized for her hard work and be respected for who she is.

~*~ You walk into the Refectory and immediately sight a lithe woman sitting before the fireplace, her whole delicate frame attentively hunched over a book. Her flaxen curls spill all around her head as her pale grey eyes squint concentratedly. Her fingers tap harmlessly against the cover and she unknowingly ignores her surroundings. Seeing no response to your presence, you silently step out. ~*~
