Introduction
Introduction
Hello! I participated in NaNoWriMo for the second time this year, and came out with something wholly unexpected: a serious story. I named it The Phoenix and the King. It's about what the title suggests, but with a twist: the Phoenix is a human. It's a sort of Beauty and the Beast-esque story. Please take a moment and meet Estelle, one of the two main character.
Brief Description
Race: A human PhoenixAge: Nineteen
Build: A bit taller than average, and lithe. Not super-model skinny, but still slim.
Skin: Nealy alabaster-white
Eyes: Her irises are made of flames. The color of these flames can be pale yellow, bright orange, a vibrant blue, silver, or a combination of silver and blue.
Facial Features: She has long, high cheekbones, which are prominent. A straight and somewhat elegant nose, slightly turned up at the tip. Somewhat full lips, but nothing crazy. Her overall facial shape is somewhat oval. She has very striking features, full of elegance and well-placed angles. Very expressive.
Hair: Long and black. Very straight, and usually wind-blown. It comes down to about mid-back. There are no bangs.
Personality: She's serious and responsible. Generally a quiet person. Contemplative and a bit too serious. She worries, but not too much. She has a position of power in her village, and takes the responsibility seriously. Keeps mostly to herself. Kind, smart, and very perceptive of others' personalities. She thinks of death often, but she's not morbid. Stubborn.
Clothing: You can have fun with it. She's usually in some sort of dress or shirt-and-dress combo. She can be wearing something a peasant would be wearing, or she can be wearing a ball gown. Nothing that's worn just for the sake of sexiness, though. She does favorite a burgundy silk skirt, which would be ankle-length.
Theme Song: N/A
Description from the Book
"It had been obvious that she was a Phoenix from the time she was born; only Phoenixes had flames in their eyes. The stronger a Phoenix was, and the more malevolent or benevolent they were, the less ordinary their eyes were. Estelle had not lived enough years to have very unusual flames yet. Her mother had had lovely purple ones, a sign that she was a rather powerful and mostly good-hearted Phoenix. Her own eyes were only an almost-orange. Another mark of the Phoenix, though not as obvious, was their glossy black hair, which she supposed represented things burnt by the fires within. Her mother had chopped most of her lovely cascading hair off so that it was shorter than her father’s. She did this to prevent herself from catching fire, though it was much harder for Phoenixes to be burnt or to catch fire. Estelle kept her own hair long, heedless of any potential harm. Most Phoenixes also had very pale skin, though she could find no symbolism in this. She herself had, as was expected, inherited her mother’s almost alabaster skin, though her father was olive-complected."
Thank you very much for reading this and I hope very much that you will not only take this on, but also enjoy it.
