Dahlia Trist


17




Dahlia, named for a flower much like her sister, is a slight girl, petite and porcelain-skinned. She has a mane of chestnut brown hair that, if left to its own devices, tumbles in errant curls down her slender back, a few inches below her tapered waist. Her eyes are the same forget-me-not blue as her father's, while her sister and elder brother seem to have received their coloring from their mother's side.




A precocious girl ever since she was a child, Dahlia isn't one to leave her curiosity unsatisfied. It seems as though Atropa got the lion's share when it comes to putting on a polite, docile visage – not that Dahlia isn't charming in her own way. She's just…a tad more blunt than is considered perfectly ladylike. Dahlia has always been the type to leap before she looks (to the Trist family's everlasting chagrin), and she oftentimes ends up being chastised for her actions at the end of the day. Easily excited, she can chatter on for hours on any subject that interests her, and her enthusiasm is usually contagious. She cannot stand sewing, but enjoys painting – as long is it isn't a portrait of fruit in a bowl. With an affinity for French and German, as well as a lovely, songbird's voice, the young girl certainly has her own allure, those of which her mother hopes to improve quickly, as she is the next in line to be married off.

Henry King


23

For someone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Henry is surprisingly fit, his form lithe and well-muscled from the time he spends on both his horses and hunting dogs. His hair is thick and black, heavy brows and full lashes framing gunmetal grey eyes.


Henry has always been a popular fellow, with his pick of friends and girls always trailing after him with hearts in their eyes. Rather than relishing in all of the attention, however, it only served to make him somewhat standoffish, perhaps even coming off as rude. Truly, Henry isn't a bad person by any means – he just enjoys quiet time alone and doesn’t speak if he has nothing to say. Unfortunately, this habitual quietness tends to leave many people flustered and searching for words to fill what they feel are awkward silences.


As for hobbies, Henry is interested in breeding horses as well as hunting dogs, and has a penchant for losing himself in reading. He's the type of person who'd rather observe from a quiet spot than be the center of attention, though the fact that he comes from such a well-known, wealthy family means he's often dragged into the spotlight.
