Spirit:: Dog: Miren is known for her loyalty, caring, and compassion towards others. Her spirit found her and guides her to help others make good decisions in their lives, as she is a very practical person.
Occupation: First wife of Ekain
Place of Habitation: da'Ekain
Physical Description (five sentence minimum):
Miren could not be described as beautiful, but she has a pretty face with youthful features and tanned skin. Her eyes define her face, as they are bright and olive green, as well as her strong jawline. Her hair is long and dark brown rather than the customary black of her people due to the lighter lineage of her mother.
Miren is not considered tall, only about five and a half feet in height, but she looks far smaller when standing next to her husband. Her figure is curvaceous, with wide hips seemingly made for childbirth and a small and attractive waist. Through all of her daily chores within her home, Miren developed much stamina and has a strong and healthy body to prove it. It proves almost a curse to Miren, as she has not yet been blessed with a child, and it it proves very frustrating to her.
Her clothing is often quite simple cotton, with a few bronze pieces to compliment her tanned skin. Miren dresses as is benefiting her position, but in private she prefers not to wear the customary leggings, except for in the colder seasons.
Personality (eight sentence minimum):
As the eldest and only daughter of the family, Miren was given much responsibility at a very young age. She helped her mother care for her younger brother Amets, and learned many household tasks as part of her upbringing, and is therefore very conscientious about work ethic and getting things done according to plan. Her gentle and responsible nature make her a very enjoyable person to be around, and her soft spoken advice is often given to the women of the tribe.
Miren's weakness is her need to please other people and the loyalty with which she attacks her duties. She often works herself too hard to benefit others and forgets herself in the process. Her tendency to worry is also a fault in her character, especially with a husband in such an important position. Miren worries about him almost constantly and is rewarded with many sleepless night because of it. Secretly, she fear he is pushing too hard, especially with the threats that face their people, but her faith is unwavering and she believes there is a plan for everything.
Since her father fought in the wars, Miren has received much instruction in the ways of the Thiasan and Zerui people whom he met in his travels, as well as the various trades of her people. Although his opinion were not always favourable concerning the enemies he fought, Miren took from her father's stories what she could and is considered very intelligent.
History (ten sentence minimum):
Miren is the daughter of a great and famous warrior among the Ekaini, Beņat sem'Luken who fought along side the former warlord in many battles and retired when the old warlord died. Her mother, Osane alab'Maia, was the sole child of the second wife of a minor chief. Miren was born their first child and learned many skills in life, as she was raised to marry someone of high standing.
Her brother, Amets, was her closest confidante in their childhood, and although their personalities were wholly different, they were both groomed for positions power and understood the responsibility of leadership.
Her Spirit Quest yielded predictable results, and her kind and responsible nature was only amplified by her newfound inner-calm. She took on a position of female leadership beside her father until she was eventually married to her husband, whom she loved and admired as both a warlord and a man.
Her time in da'Ekain has thus far been peaceful, but her worry over wars has been growing of late. She tries to keep a balance of calm and readiness within herself and to set an example for the people. Miren also worries over the fact that she is Ekain's first wife and has not yet borne him any children. It is a constant thought in her mind, but she tries to put up a brave front for her husband, as his worries far outweigh hers in her mind.
SAMPLE RP (from any site, ten sentence minimum):
[Kitty from SC!]
She always felt an uncomfortable flutter when entering a chapel. Either she had a guilty reason to be there, or she was there out of duty, but never did she find herself entering a chapel simply to enjoy the comfort it provided. Katherine has always considered herself a religious person, but through her short time in Harleston, she was beginning to see that she had much to improve upon. The people of Harleston were pious and devout in their beliefs and Kitty found herself severely lacking. It was almost embarassing how lacking she was, so Kitty has decided that she would beg for forgiveness early in the morning, when the people of Harleston would be safe and home instead of judging a simple country girl from Ashton with a light purple dress instead of a conservative grey. She was just thankful that her mother had reminded her of Harleston's penchant for hair nets and that hers was tucked securely over he head.
Aside from the people, Katherine felt far more secure in the chapel at Edythen than she did at Lockwell. Ashton was renown for its culture and beautiful architecture, but the holiness and purity of the large cathedral-like chapel in Harleston was, in her mind, far more appropriate. Stepping through the entrance she couldn't help but feeling small and a little alone at the prospect of facing her inadequacies.
"Why are you doing this?"
To hear voices in a chapel was, in Kitty's opinion, either a sign of madness or a divine intervention. She spent a few seconds considering which of the possibilities best fit her current state, before she noticed a man at the altar at the front of the chapel. On one hand, Kitty was relieved that she wasn't hearing voices, on the other hand, her solitude would now be impossible as she could not in good conscience ask someone to leave their chapel just so some foreign woman could air her insecurities.
"What has been done to deserve this?"
The discomfort Kitty had previously felt in the Harleston chapel was only further amplified by this man's reverent pleas to God. She felt like an unwelcome intruder in this man's obvious personal conflict and in the interest of respecting him, Kitty simply took a seat near the back of the chapel to afford him some privacy. She tried for a moment to calm herself before beginning her prayers, but her curiosity forced her out of her solitude and she chose instead to inspect the man. He looked well dressed and older than she, and looked very familiar. His dark hair and demeanor reminded her very much of Richard, and she realized that she must be looking at one of his brothers, and considering he was no priest, the man at the altar could be none other than Duke Westley.
Katherine suddenly felt even smaller than she had before, and grasping the gold cross around her neck, she very selfishly prayed that the Duke of Harleston would not take much notice of her.

Generally a great application, so good job--you're definitely reaccepted as far as I'm concerned. Just make sure to add in the 'plot potential' part of the application.
Just a few notes. Watch commas. Compliment/complement are different.
Again, this isn't that important. Lia? Anything to add?

Being a canon character there really is already plot potential, so I'm not too worried about that. This app is wonderful in my opinion.
