HAIR COLOR/STYLE

When she was little, she always hated her hair. She thought it was the most boring colour and style in the world, and, more often than not, took a pair of scissors to it, much to her mother's dismay. You could very well say her hair is the colour of flax, and you'd be correct. Xell always hated how cliche it was. There are darker strands of blonde and even red mixed in, though it's mostly that steady flaxen colour. Now that she's older, she still doesn't like the colour, though refuses to dye it. It normally falls in loose waves down her back; she doesn't like having it up, since it hurts her head. If you look closely, you'll see bits of leaves and twigs in that long, shoulder length hair.

EYE SHAPE/COLOR

When she was human, people always commented on her eyes. They are gently slanted, not enough to be Asian or anything like that, but different. The European slant, if you will. Before she was murdered, they were a deep blue, fulfilling the blonde-haired-blue-eyed-German part. But now that she is a nymph, things have changed. Do you know of that deep, rich golden honey colour? Yep, that's what her eyes are. They are almost tawny in some lights and, under great emotions, can seem to be amber. There are little green flecks in them, something one can only notice when up close.

BODY TYPE:

Tiny. If there was one word to describe Xelldaran it would be "little". Standing at barely over 5 feet, she isn't exactly the most menacing thing around. In fact, if it wasn't for her slightly noticeable breasts, one might mistake her for a middle schooler. This fact irritates her all the time. It doesn't help that she has larger feet that she believes are necessary. For this reason, she's extremely clumsy. Despite this, she's fit. Not overly muscles, but not some scrawny, willowy twig either.

FACIAL FEATURES

Xell has a very delicate looking face. With high cheekbones and a sloped chin, she looks almost cat like; her brows are gracefully curved to give her a wide-eyed innocent look. She has a strong and stubborn chin, and her nose is straight and gently tipped up at the end, almost hinting at the stubbornness within. She has pale lips that are fuller on the bottom than the top, but not overly so.

CLOTHING STYLE:

Xell HATES formal wear. HATES it. That isn't to say that she doesn't like to look pretty or anything like that, or that she doesn't like dresses. Because she does. You'll likely to catch her in jeans and a nice blouse. She enjoys sneakers or flats; being so clumsy, heels are a death trap just waiting to happen. Xell likes light cotton sundresses, and a skirt now and again. But Xell would rather die than put on a formal outfit. Fancy dresses? Hell no. Not going ot happen. You'll have to hog-tie her, kicking and screaming, into one of them, that is certain.

As for accessories, she tends to like the modest and tasteful. She wears a little sapphire necklace suspended on a silver chain, and is very fond of those brightly coloured rubber bracelets you sometimes see teenagers wearing.

ADVANTAGES

Friendly - She's the type that will sit next to the kids who sit by themselves. She ignores social barriers and enjoys talking with people.

Honest - Xell hates liars, since they only hurt people, and she refuses to do it herself.

Laid back - She isn't highly strung, and it takes a lot to really excite her.

Dependable - When she says she's going to do something, she'll do it. Xell's always there for her friends, no matter what.

DISADVANTAGES

Stubborn - When Xell makes up her mind, there is no moving her, no matter what. It gets her into trouble a lot.

Sharp tongued - Xell doesn't get mad easily, but boy, when she's irritated, she can cut someone to pieces with it.

Unforgiving - It takes a lot to anger her, but once you have gotten on her bad side, it's almost impossible to get her back to liking you again.

Quiet around guys - Let's just say that her luck with boys is slim to nill. So she just goes quiet around them.

PERSONALITY

Xelldaran is genuinely a gentle girl. Unless you anger her – which is nearly impossible to do – you'll rarely see her dark side. Xell is very laid-back and calm, and has this serene air about her. True to her name, she really is peaceful. She's not known to raise her voice unless in battle, and rarely ever gets excited about small stuff. Whether it's just plain laziness or just the innate calmness, no one knows. But it works. She’s the type that remains cool-headed and logical, and impulsiveness isn’t in her nature.

She's very down-to-earth and honest, almost brutally honest. But she never means to hurt anyone – actually, she hates hurting others. Unfailingly polite to everyone, even enemies, Xell is a very respectful sort of woman. Oh, she might be tart and sarcastic (she has quite the tongue on her), but she manages to do it in a way that's almost respectful. Also, she knows when to speak up and when to hold her tongue. She is wiser than she looks, and far cleverer than she lets on. Xelldaran isn’t opposed to telling people when they’re wrong, though she tries not to do it in an arrogant, stuck up way.

Xelldaran can be almost obnoxiously friendly and cheerful to just about everyone. She's the type that greets everyone with a smile, even those she really doesn't like. She has an almost annoyingly optimistic outlook on life, greeting everything head-on. That's where her stubbornness comes in. Xelldaran has a stubborn streak a mile wide. Even if she is proven wrong, she will not change her path. She has been known as “mule-headed”, and once she has decided to do something, the Gods help everyone, because she WILL do it. Even if it means running people over to do so. She has a sense of justice that no one but her really knows, and she will stick to that like glue. She doesn't disobey orders exactly, but if she thinks there is something wrong with the way others are going about things, you bet she’ll try and fix it.

Xelldaran doesn’t enjoy fighting, though that isn’t to say she doesn’t. When angered, she has a sharp tongue that can whittle someone to pieces. Xell prefers to do things without violence, though she is smart enough to know that not everyone is a peace-maker. She doesn’t like shedding blood, though she is a damned good fighter. Xell also enjoys the occasional debate, since she isn’t hesitant about voicing her opinions.

She is very sensitive to others emotions. It isn’t in her nature to be cruel or malicious to anyone, and she is almost the exact opposite. She cares deeply for other people, so much more than herself. She tries to make others happy, and will do her best to fix your problems… whether you want her to or not. She’s quite the caring individual, caring fiercely for her friends, and is incredibly loyal. She will never betray someone who trusts her, even if it means her own life. Xell is the type of person you can spill your problems to, without fear of being judged. Bad side of this is that she rarely lets others in on her own emotions, bottling them up until she ends up falling apart.


There is a certain defensiveness about her character, almost like she is wrapped in it. Just because she’s friendly doesn’t mean she is a totally open person. Around people she doesn’t know, she is shy and quiet. It’s not to say that she is standoff-ish or rude or anything like that. She just doesn’t talk around those she doesn’t know. And at any mention about her past, she immediately clams up, so don’t even try. Xelldaran doesn't do well with those who try poking about where they don’t belong, and any attempts at fixing her own problems will be met with instant shut down. But if you do manage to win her trust, you’ll find a dependable, loyal, caring individual who would do just about anything for the ones she loves.

HISTORY

Xelldaran Ana Kreuz was born at two-thirty one warm spring morning. Her parents were thrilled, and their joy was only hampered by the fact that due to complications, Elfie wasn't able to have anymore children. Nevertheless, they were happy. The small family lived in Berlin, Germany, where her father, a fairly wealthy banker had been sent. A year after Xell was born, they moved back to the States and settled in the west coast, in a little city called Spokane Valley. This is where she grew up.

Xell's life was relatively normal. She grew up happy and friendly, and was always making friends. She was very popular at school because she was so friendly and open. Despite this, she didn't socialize with boys much. Why? Xell went to a private girls school, and she rarely ever had a chance to talk to guys. Her father was fiercely over-protective of her, especially when her mother died in a car accident when she was thirteen. The little family was crushed, though, with her typical perseverance, Xell made it okay.

That same year, a new family moved in next yard. It was a father and son, and the son, who's name was James. James was four years older, and "cool". Xell was extremely taken with him, and he never seemed to mind. Xell's father was a bit wary, though, as something seemed to be... off about him. But Xell, being the stubborn girl she was, didn't listen to him. Their friendship continued for three years until one day, James kissed her. Xell was over the moon to start a relationship, though her father wasn't so sure.

Her father was right to be wary.

One night, James cajoled her into sneaking out of the house. Xell felt guilty about it, and left her father a note, even though James told her not to. The two of them went to a nearby wilderness reservation, for what Xell thought was a romantic moonlight walk. It was there where James raped and killed her, suffocating her with leaves from an apple tree. It turned out that he and his father had been behind a rash of serial killings that had gone on through the town.

Xell remembers everything, the feeling of not being able to breathe, so she definitely knew she died. So when she opened her eyes, she was most definitely surprised to find that she was breathing. She was more than a little confused, but when a messenger from a strange school told her exactly what had happened to her, she understood. At first, Xell didn't believe it, as she didn't believe in fairy tales, but she couldn't deny the connection between her and the apple tree. Xell didn't go back to her father, who thought his daughter dead and missing. She had a sizable amount of money in her savings, and she took all of it out before the bank was notified of her "death".

Xelldaran didn't attend junior year, instead just getting use to life as... well, a nymph. She's extremely excited about this year, and wants to make a ton of new friends.
