- Profile:
- hair: chocolate brown with lighter hints
- eyes: brown
- height: 4'10.5"
Personality: Somewhat withdrawn and reserved, has a habit of keeping her face lowered as per her oriental origins and traditional upbringing. Has a penchant for science though her natural aptitude for it is lacking, she makes up for it with diligence. Brave, though not in the typical sense of the word. Not the courage to venture into the unknown depths of a cave, or hold her own in combat, but the courage to reach out. Despite being enamored with the romance of adventure, she is reluctant to venture out and pursue it herself.
Dress Style: Conservative, very modest due to the aeon she grew up in, short shorts are definitely out of the comfort zone as are most bathing suits and jacket-less tank tops.
Quirks: Due to her long existence, she has taken to many trades to fill her time, taking on various crafts as she goes. As such, her wealth of knowledge can be considered a treasure in and of itself, as many of such arts have been lost to Time and long since ceased to exist. Also has an impeccable memory, a blessing and a curse from the Lily and knows a great deal of history not just from the texts, but as a witness. Considers herself a bystander in Life, and Curator of history, keeping a meticulous record of events throughout her many lifetimes.
Background: Shyloris is one of the hapless souls who stumbled into a pocket dimension and was trapped in the realm between, victim of the wards that arose when the world was split between that of humanity and that which became the Veil. Separated from her family and lost, she wandered the hellish world between worlds until traversing the road of paradox that led her to the Amaranthinæ Lily. The "Paradox Bloom". Half starved and suffering severe dehydration she partook of the trickling rivulet of its nectar as it flowed from the flower. From there she lived life after life bringing with her a precious moment at each time and end. On one such instance the brunette encounters Neiro. From there the other took the eternal child under wing, a fitting pair for their nigh eternal existence.
Analysis: Having been time-locked early in her life, Shyloris is oftentimes reluctant to forge deep bonds with others, insecure, as many have come and gone in the blink of an eye. Though she laments the fleeting impermanence that was nature, her heart still bleeds, and it is for the blood, not embitterment, that she avoids others. This lack of constancy coupled with the naivety of youth and a lack of worldly experience at a vulnerable stage of her life has left her with an overpowering anxiety and abandonment issues and a severe lacking sense of security. Unable to ground herself she is often caught unawares by the flow of time as it moves on. Oddly enough rather than manifesting as skepticism and guarded wariness, Shyloris has become the exact opposite and is overly trusting of those whom still cross her path, however much she goes out of her way to avoid. Driven by a strong desire to forge strong lasting bonds with others, she puts much faith into those she does meet. That being said, despite the seemingly easy and trusting nature through her words and actions, she harbors a staggering doubt and mistrust in all. Though seemingly a paradox it is best explained that while she doubts all around her, she desires trust and as such acts the same, holding strongly to the hope and belief that what comes around goes around. After meeting Neiro, his constancy is a salve that brings her tranquility and anchors her to reality. Finally at peace with existence, she carries herself with a greater sense of composure, a calm and confidence that wasn't there before.
An interesting point is that though she is quite open minded, what with her vast experience of a hundred lifetimes and more, she still holds herself to the modesty of her Time. Mayhaps it's because modesty is one of the few things that are still her as she once was. A piece of the comfortable, familiar, and long gone past that she can hold onto, regardless of whatever adverse effect it may have.
