OF BONES AND BLOOMS:
OPHELIA The Gardener
Hair: Long, white | Eyes: Rose-colored / even slightly violet | Height: Medium | Age: 22-24 | Skin-tone: Pale | Stance: Rooted, Observant | Build: Slim, was malnourished for most of her early life. Fit, enough.
((Ophelia has albinism))
Ophelia sent her early years in the sunless caverns on the bottom-most part of her city. Her family is also genetically predisposed to Albinism. The culture of the city relishes in Sunlight, and its aesthetic is tanned skin and sun bright colors. That’s how you show your wealth, by saying you can live in the sun.
When Ophelia goes to the Vistas (the sunniest part of the city) she wears a straw hat and tinted lenses to protect her eyes.
While she is actually quite wealthy, it doesn’t always reflect in her clothes. When she is not working (and really when she is) she wears things she doesn’t mind getting soil on.
She carries a brown leather satchel (like a messenger bag) over her shoulder when she has to travel. It has all her tools and seeds in it.
I pulled this from the character sheet I have for myself, which obviously goes more in depth and has a collection of pictures.
Actual physical descriptions: once people get over the sight of her, I'd say her features are a bit angular. Almond-shaped eyes. The actress/model I have her based off is Russian. She's lithe, like a ballerina (but still has some muscles)
I think most importantly about her: she wants to be an actual gardener. She is at peace surrounded by greenery. Her actual job is a 'cleaner/decomposer' for the Mafia. I think she has a fun balance of feminine, floral, and just enough macabre. Like, if an Edgar Allan Poe poem existed in the Georgian Era and had a Nature-Theme Color Palate.
My only rules though: she does NOT wear Blue, or White and Red together.
She technically lives in an approximation of 1770s/1780s; however, I think it would be cool to see a modern version of her!
I hope that wasn't too much of a dump.
